OK, I'm a long time lurker on these boards, and I can usually get all I need from other peoples questions, but I need a little bit more personal advice on this one. I was 3 1/2 weeks late with 7 negative tests, so I went to the doctor and got a blood test. I have an eight month old, and I had some of the same things I had with him (exhaustion, peeing all the time), everything about that pregnancy was completely normal.

The day after I went to the doctor I had some light spotting that I've had for three days now that has gotten heavy enough it must be a period (right color and everything, although lighter than ever). I got the results from the blood test and they said maybe. My hcg (or watever) level was seventeen, I guess five is usually early pregnancy. They wanted me to come in in a week and retest.

So my question is, is there still a chance I could be pregnant (should I bother with the test), or should I just concede that I am not?

I think you should go for the other test to find out for sure. When I was pregnant with my daughter it took to months for me to find out. Play it on the safe side and get the test done. I will keep you in my prayers, and let me know.
