Pregnant symptoms with light period

Sat, 08-23-2003 - 4:52pm
My last period was July 27th. I ovulated around August 11. My next scheduled period is August 24. On August 19th, I began to feel very tired, nauseated, and my breasts became extremely sore and they feel heavy. On the 20th I began to have brown spotting, then I got a light to medium period from Aug 20th to Aug 23 with cramping. I normally have heavy periods for around 4 to 5 days. However, even though I have had my period, I am still nauseated, especially first thing in the morning. My breasts still hurt some, but not as bad as before. My husband and I had to leave Subway about 5 minutes after we got there two nights ago because of the nausea, and I am no longer able to stand the taste and odor of onions. Could I be pregnant? or do you think it is just unusually severe PMS. Also, i took a htp this morning that was negative, but should I get a blood test to be sure, or is it still too early to tell? I appreciate your opinion on my unusual situation.

If you've got the symptoms, I'd suggest bugging your doctor's office for a blood test come Monday morning. There's got to be some sort of explanation for all the nauseau (hopefully a good one!). My SIL got what appeared to be a completely normal AF two weeks after conceiving her 2nd child; she only found out after she missed the next period and was surprised to find out she was 4 weeks further along than she thought! Anything is possible!

Good luck to you!

OMG...I am in the same boat as you...Last period was July 26th, ovulated around the 9th (I think), should have started on the 23rd (Today) and I have all the symptoms too. I started spotting two days ago and decided that I was not pregnant but then realized that this is not a normal AF for me!!! I am going to the doc first thing Monday morning to see whats up. I took an HPT and it was neg so I am really confused!!!

Hi Ladies!

I had the exact same situation last month. I had nausea, fatigue, sore breasts... my period was 3 days late but the pregnancy test was negative - my doctor's test agreed. My period did show up (disapointed - but at least there is not a problem to worry about!). It was stress - my sister's wedding and the end of an intense course.

I hope your situation has a more positive result! Keep your fingers crossed for me too!

This month - I had way less stress!

Best wishes!

I hear you girl! I thought my period came, but it only lasted a day and a half. Then, I thought I should test a few days later -- I kept getting a really faint line about 3-5 min after the control line. So, I took a test at my doc which was neg (though they didn't wait more than 2min in reading). Finally, I got a distinct pos today w/ first response. I'll be w/ you at the doc's tomorrow! Hang in there and all the best.
