Really light/short AF, still PG?

I've posted on a couple other boards, but not gotten many responses, and I'm just looking for advice/help/similar situations, etc. My last Regular period was sometime around Aug. 5 (not good at remembering exact dates for it and always forget to write it down). It usually lasts for 6 days, starts out medium goes to heavy then back to light. This month, I started a light flow on Sept. 22, it stayed light on second day (usually my heaviest), was very light on third day, and was only spotting on 4th and only for the first half of the day (nothing after about 2 PM). It is now the 5th day, and absolutely nothing. I have had sore boobs and nips (not where I can't stand it, but hubby has to be very careful with them, and he also said they look a bit darker - sorry if tmi). A couple times I've felt slightly nauseous, nothing too bad. I've had to go to the bathroom a lot more than usual. I'm tired a lot, but that may be from something totally different (husband and I drive 1.5 to and from work each day). My cycle is usually 30-35 days, and I have never been this late in starting, and I've never had one that was this short and light. I started around day 49. I did take a HPT on Sept. 18 or 19 and it was BFN. What is everyone's opinions? Has this happened to anyone (late light period, still been PG)? I'm hopeful, but don't want to get too hopeful, because I hate POAS and it being negative! Sorry I wrote so much, and thanks for reading. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi there, I just had a similar experience (see more posts on the message: Light period, could I be pg?).

Come to think of it, my bbs have felt like they are a size too big for a week or two. I don't know if they actually are, but it sure feels like it. And when I was bleeding, it started out pink, went to red, then went to light pink and finished brown. I'm debating on going and getting another hpt and even calling my mother to get her opinion. I don't want to get her hopes up, though. I'm not sure if it's my husband and I who want a baby more if it's my mom (even though it won't be her first grandchild)! Why can't bodies just give clear cut signs about these things?!

Thank you so much for your thoughts and hugs. When I got AF on Saturday, I felt for sure that was absolutely NOT PG, but then it was really weird, by being both very light and very short, and now I'm not so sure. I've heard stories of women who were PG but still had a period, even a regular one. I'm just not sure if I'm that lucky or not.

Grrr....I just took a HPT a little bit ago and it was BFN!! I'm still not totally convinced I'm not PG, especially because of the extreme weirdness of what I guess was AF for this month. I have one more test, that I was thinking about taking in the morning. Although my DH thinks I should wait a while longer, and he is probably right. I bought the really cheap ones this time (they were only $1), but I've heard they are just as accurate as the expensive ones. Grrr again. Sorry, I just needed to vent a little. Thanks for "listening".

Hi,


When I was pg ten years ago with my DD, I had a 4-day AF (which was then normal).

Thanks to Kelly (mom2emsopmax) for my beautiful siggy! Photobucket
