Lurker who needs a Second Opinion

I wanted to run my symptoms past some others because i feel like i'm becoming obsessed.

Sorry I don't have all the lingo down yet, and this experience is completely new to me. Last AF was on September 15. I have quite irregular periods alternate between 30 days and about 40. Think i ovulated around the eighth. My DH and I aren't trying but aren't not trying. Can't remeber which days we got busy :) We use the withdrawel method. On the 15th I had very sharp lower back pain when i laid down in bed that wouldn't go away. On the 16th i felt extremely nauseatd but otherwise felt fine. On the 17th I felt like no matter how little I ate I was stuffed full (like i'd eaten a full thanksgiving dinner) to the point that it was uncomfortable. On the 18th and 19th I had light spotting. No symptoms since then except occasional unsettled tummy and a little muscle ache (kinda like growing pain) behind boobies (alternating) only when i lay down. I took a Equate HPT this morning, came up -. What is the possibility that i'm pregnant? When would be a good time to test again? And which test should I use?

i would suggest waiting a week from when you tested and then testing again if AF hasn't shown. if the test is still negative, go to the doctor. it's already been over 40 days since your last AF. if you aren't pregnant, there might be something up that you'd want to know about. good luck! i hope it works out for you!

i'm not sure what to tell you, but i know i was VERY VERY gassy for a week or so before i got my BFP. it was unusual for me to be that way, so i knew. also, my bbs were very sore for a few days, then back to normal.

let us know!
