Hi everyone...

For those who don't know, I had my period on Oct.5th-7th, which was really short for me, since then, I've been cramping mildly everyday, and for awhile thought I had more symptoms, nauseated, really tired (still), sleeplessness (still), gas, headaches... and now even when I'm done eating, I feel so full, and it just about makes me sick. I've been bloated lately, and I'm confused as to what's going on. My cramps feel like they are more on my right side, but it's hard to tell. I've taken 3 HPTs, only to have all BFN. The first one was Equate, and the last two were Answer. Either I had an incredibly wacky cycle, or something else is wrong, and that has me a little worried! I thought since I was cramping a bit, but with no show, then I was for sure pregnant. But according to these tests, they say I'm not. My CM has been changing, so maybe this is all just Pre-AF? I just wanted to send this out and see if anyone could help... We aren't TTC, but aren't preventing it, and I just need to get an answer, part of me still thinks I might be PG, I've put on 3 pounds in the last 2 weeks, but I guess that could be from anything. If AF doesn't show around the 5th-8th of Nov., then I guess I need to take another HPT, or head to the doctor.

Thanx to anyone taking the time to read this! :)

Yeah, but I'm confused as to why my last period was so short. That's what made me think I was preggy... I'm not really late or anything right now, so I guess it's just a

wait & see...

Hey, hi there. I just wanted to let you know I'm in a similar situation. My last period was 10/7-10/10 and really light, which is not at all usual for me. But tests Tuesday and today were both negative, so I at least know I wasn't pregnant then because a test would have been positive by now. So I'm thinking I might have actually concieved on 10/12 because my cycles are really wacky and who knows, I guess I could have been ovulating 5 or 6 days after AF... I'm testing again tomorrow first thing in the morning (because I'm going to a party tomorrow where I was planning to have a glass or wine or two), and if it's still negative I'm just going to put the whole thing out of my mind until at least 11/7. Good luck to you!
