preg tests & infections?? do they work
Wed, 09-03-2003 - 6:47am
I am experiencing a few symptoms of pregnancy, my period was due on Aug 29 and it arrived on time but only lasted a couple of days and was a lot lighter than normal. I have to use the bathroom a lot more for the last few weeks and I have a slight sensation (for want of a better word) on my lower left side which only really started yesterday and really makes me think I need the loo. My main question is that I have performed 2 tests which came out negative but the window was cloudy and hard to see. They were two different type tests and it happened on both. Could I just be experiencing an Infection and would it mess up the test results.

Any replies or ideas would be greatly appreciated. This is my second pregnancy, the first one I lost in March - I had no symptoms at all until I started to lose it, so I'm really looking for all the advise I can get. Thanks.
