Hey ladies, its me again. I have been lurking for several days, every so often posting a question. Thanks for the great responses. AF should have officially arrived Tuesday (2/13/07) and never came, at least I dont think. You see, I have the lightest ( and I stress lightest) spotting this morning. I just put a panty liner on and went on my way. usually, Im flowing quite heavily today. Im on the pill- have been for years, and Im like clock work when it comes to AF, so Im completley dumbfounded, As you all know, I posted several days ago about my "fluttering" stomache and hearburn, etc... I was about 3 days before AF's scheduled arrival, but I took a test- just out of curiousity, it was negative. This happened last month, which started my whle thinking that something was going on (implantation maybe?).
Note: aside form my "symptoms", there is no reason for me to think Im pregnant...I havnt missed any pills or taken any medications that would limit their ability to work.
Any ideas?
Thanks again ladies!!

Hi there, I'm not really sure what your question is? Do you think you might be pregnant even though the test says (-)? If you're on the pil, haven't missed any, or taken any antibiotic that might have interfered with it, I'd say you're probably safe, but if you're really concerned you should let your doctor know. They might be able to do a blood test for you. Although typicially they won't do them unless you're more than 5 days late for your period and you're getting negatives on HPTs. Good luck.... hope you get the answer you're looking for. Keep us posted on how you're doing :)

Im just cinfused, like I said, I has weird symptoms, nothing Ive really experienced with PMS...then I had the spotting last month- I would not consider myself to have had a period last month. Then, the same thing this month....even less.
I took the test several days before AF was even scheduled ot show up, I wasnt really suprised my the neg.

Hmm, have you been on the same kind of pill for a while now? Maybe you are ready for a new kind? I had that happen. I was on one particular kind for a few years, then one month my cycles got really weird, and I went to see my gyn, she just put me on a different brand. I was on bcp for about 13 years, and probably about 4 or 5 different kinds... maybe that's it? Just a thought... :)

Well you wouldn't be having pregnancy symptoms just yet... they usually don't appear for a week or two after your missed period, so if you are experiencing these things and you do end up being pregnant i'm going to have to say coincidence.
