weird pulling in pelvic area

Last night before bed I noticed what I would call a pulling sensation on my left side low in my pelvic area. It felt a bit like a pulled muscle would, not painful, but slightly bothersome. I just decided to go to sleep and it would probably be gone in the morning. Flash forward to this morning - woke up and didn't notice anything. Got ready for work and didn't really notice anything till I sat down to eat breakfast, but it was very slight. It's been getting steadily more noticeable throughout the day at work. Still not painful, I'm almost more aware of it when I sit down than when I'm standing (I have a desk job). As far as I know, I am not PG - 3 neg HPTs and AF showed up late Sunday night, though it's been much lighter than it normally is. I haven't exercised in at least 2 weeks and I don't have a physically demanding job, so it's unlikely I did actually pull a muscle - is there a muscle down there I can pull anyways? Has anyone experienced something like this?

When did you last test?

The last time I tested was Sunday afternoon, twice with 2 different brands of tests. I started spotting on Thursday and AF was due Sat or Sun. I have not spotted before AF in a really long time and I thought that was strange. It was mostly dark brown, with a little pink and maroonish coloring. Sunday night I got more of a "flow" and it was dark red/brown. Been that way for the last 2 days, a little more flow today I guess, hence the "M" for today in my chart (I was actually on the fence about labeling it that way this morning, but figured it had to be getting to be that stage today). Usually I have at least 1 day, more likely 2 days of HEAVY flow and it's usually in full swing by day 3, which is today. I also tend to get pretty bad cramps, though recently my acupuncture herbs have lessened those dramatically and I have had cramps, but not that bad at all.

Could I seriously be PG? I've definitely gone from spotting to "flow", but like I said, light for me, comparatively speaking.

Anything is possible. I totally thought mine was AF and seemed to be just like yours so when I got home from a business trip I decided to test and low and behold I was PG. I was about 6 weeks at the time.

Thanks for your input. AF has subsided it seems and has slowed to almost spotting, which is very weird for day 3 of AF. I'm going to test in the morning and if it's a BFN, I think I'm going to make a doctor's appt anyways. I'll let you know how it goes.
