Ok, I posted just the other day, here's whats going on with me, my period started 3 days sooner than it normally does, only last about 2 1/2 days, since then, I've been having some mild cramps, dizziness, very slight nausea, discharge, sleepiness, I seem to have to pee more than usual, emotional (more so than normal)... and I just took a cheap Walmart PG test, it's 8 o'clock in the evening right now, and it was a BFN. With all these symptoms, I was sure it was going to be positive. Could it be that I didn't use FMU? I couldn't wait for tomorrow, I need to know now! If I'm not actually pregnant, then why am I having these symptoms? I don't cramp much during my cycle, so I shouldn't be doing it now, almost a week since my 'period' stopped! Oh, and just today, I've been a little 'itchy' almost as if I was getting a yeast infection, so that was another sign pointing to being pregnant.... Is there anyone out there who has gone thru this, and was actually pregnant?! Thanks!!

Well I would try using a more sensitive test and fmu, and that should give you the best result. But the 3 day early could mean that it could have been implantation bleeding, and if so it could take awhile for it to show on a test. Some women can take weeks to show on a test. I think the Walmart test measures 100 (not sure though) So I would wait a day or two and use an early test that reads low levels. If you like to buy cheaper ones, then get Answer Early, it reads at 25, and I have found them to be accurate, and therre only about $7

Thanks Emily! I think that's what I had, implantation bleeding. I didn't realize that if that was the case, then it would take a little while longer to show on a HPT. I like First Response, they are what I used last time I was pregnant... So on Friday, I think I'll test again. This morning and some last night, I woke up feeling just crappy! Not to the point to worship the porcelain goddess or anything, but I'm not feeling so well. Maybe this is a good sign... :) Anwyay, I'm trying to keep calm and stay relaxed until Friday. :) Thanks again!
