Implantation Bleeding? So Confused! Posted: 07-15-04 00:05am
Hey all! I had my last period on june
9th, and it was regular. However, this
month, I started bleeding lightly on july
6th (3 days late), and only for four days.
I had mild cramps about a week before I
started bleeding (normally my cramps are
heavy, and about a day or so before I
start my period). In the past week or so,
I have had headaches, nausea in the
morning and early afternoon, moodiness,
breast swelling and tenderness, frequent
urination, fatigue, and a light, stringy
discharge. Is it possible that the
bleeding was implantation bleeding? I
took a pregnancy test today, but it was
negative. However, i'm not convinced. In
the past hour or two, I have been feeling
mild twinges in my lower abdomen. I just
feel pregnant, if that makes sense to
anyone. The pregnancy test I took was
only 3 dollars and it was an off brand.
Does that have anything to do with the
quality? Also, i'm taking anti-biotics
(cephalexin) for strep throat. Could that
cause the test to be a false negative?
Any answers or help would be greatly
appreciated!
When was the last time you had sex? How
far along do you think you'd be?

Last Time I Had Sex... Posted: 07-15-04 00:40am
My boyfriend and I had sex several times
last month, using the withdrawl method (i
know this is not a form of good birth
control, but it just happens sometimes),
and it was right about the time I should
have ovulated.
Well you might be preggy then. I suggest
buying a better quality test and try
again. Or see a doc.

Yes I agree, I would buy a better test.
First response brand or something. It
could be implantation bleeding, although
normally that wouldnt last as long as 4
days, but u never know. And I dont know
if u would be feeling all of those
symptoms if u were only about 4 weeks but
it is possible too, if ur not pregnant, it
might just be in ur head. But let us
know*

Hey everyone! Well, I took another test
yesterday, this time is used e.P.T. The
results were negative.... I think. The
postive window was blank, and the negative
window had a line, but it was so faint
that I could barely see it. Anyone know
why it might have done that?

There was nothing in the positive window,
no even anything faint? If there was
nothing there then I would say....No you
arent pregnant! But the only safe way to
be sure is to go have a blood test done!
Do you have somewhere you can get that
done? That will be the only thing that
will put you at ease and make you quit
worrying! Sorry you are dealing with
this! Keep us updated!
