Hi my lmp was Sept. 5th. My cycle is 28 days and I am on time. I do not use birthcontrol. My husband and I had sex during my fertile days. On the 24th I had very light spotting (brown/White) it lasted only a day. I never had that before. Then I was expecting my period on the 3rd, but it never came. I am still waiting. In the mean time for the past four days I have been having very light spotting. It only shows up when i wipe. I have no cramps. It is red. For the past couple of days I have been very dizzy on and off. My nipples are starting to get tender and my breasts are heavy and fuller. Every now and then I get nausea. I have been having a lot of mood swings it seems like everything bothers me. I have been getting headaches. I have been drinking a lot of fluids. I have taken pregnancy tests in the past and they came up neg. I can't eat that much anymore and I get constipated every once in a while. I was wondering what is going on? Do you have any ideas and I want to know about the spotting if it is normal. Please help me!!

" Hi Katherine.

My lmp was Sept 2nd and I have 27 day cycles. I just got a positive HPT about 10 days ago, but my hcg levels are very high with this pregnancy. If your period is more than a week late, you should be able to get a positive at this time. If it's negative and you still haven't had a normal period- its probably time to call your dr.

Good luck! "

" Best thing to do is a pregnancy test first thing in the morning. If it's positive you're pregnant, if it isn't, you still could be but a couple of weeks after your period is due, a negative test is probably correct. See your doctor if you're having abnormal bleeding. They may do a more sensitive pregnancy test for you.

I don't get pregnancy symptoms until about week 7 (from lmp) and by that time a urine HCG test did come up positive. I would think that if your hormones are changed enough to cause you to experience symptoms, the pregnancy test should be able to detect it too.... "

" You could possible be pregnant.
I had implantation bleeding 2 days after my period was due (1 day after I got a positive test). Then a couple of weeks later I had light pink spotting for 3-4 days and everything was fine. Dizzyness, nausea and fatigue were my big early symptoms and most bothersome. "
