I'm new here, and haven't quite figured out what I'm doing, so please bare with me LOL.
I have very irregular periods, especially after gaining a TON of weight. I have recently lost around 30 lbs., and everytime I lose weight I do end up having a period. I had one that started February 1st. I'm now having slight/annoying cramping in my lower left abdomin, with a HORRIBLE back ache, and very light spotting that I only notice when I wipe, and sex has become INCREDIBLY painful.
I've taken 2 HPT's, but both came back negative. From what I've read, it sounds like implantation cramping, and I was wondering if anyone knows if this sounds like I could be pregnant, and how long after implantation can you take a HPT and receive a positive on a HPT?
I'm very concerned though, because 2 years ago in March I had a miscarriage, and I didn't even know I was pregnant; so I'm worried what if this is another miscarriage or a tubal pregnancy?
Any ideas?

Thanks a TON!

I'm going through the same symptoms with the spotting, and the cramping...and, I don't know what's going on to be honest LOL.
From what I've read the cramping could be implantation occuring. And I'm not sure how long after implantation would you get a positive result from a HPT.
Sorry I'm not of much help, but all the best of luck to you!!

Hey, I'm Christina and I just went through the same thing! I spotted for 1 week, then AF showed up on Friday, and now I am only spotting again. Weird. I wish I understood my body!
