Light spotting...I need advice!

OK, so I'm new to these boards, but I was wondering if someone had some advice for me. I had my last period on Sept. 5. I had a miscarriage @ 5 weeks PG in January. Recently, my boyfriend and I decided that what was mean to be was meant to be and if I got pregnant, than cool! So, we had sex a few times around the time I was ovulating in September. I should have gotten my period by Oct. 4th. I had light spotting the other day, slight cramping, and then nothing. I took a HPT Thursday afternoon, and it said negative. Does it really make a difference if I use my morning urine? And is my period "late" - or am I obsessing unnecessarily? I hope I'm pregnant, but has anyone had something like this happen to them? Usually when my period is coming I get really bad cramps, and I haven't had that. Plus, my boobs are a little sore, but that could be from PMS symptoms, right? Sorry this is so long...and thanks to anyone who has some advice!

You could have been experiencing implantation bleeding. Test again in a couple of days--sometimes it takes awhile for the HcG level to build up in some women. If you still don't get AF and keep getting negatives, you might see if your doctor will do a blood test. I've read that some docs aren't very keen on doing them until you get to be about 2 weeks late, but you could try! Which test are you using? Check out www.peeonastick.com cuz she has really great info on HPTs!!
