Pregnancy Question
Posted: 08-22-05 14:52pm

Okay this is whats going on. My last two periods have been about 2.5 days. I usually have a nice long 7 day period. I got married the beginning of july and just figured that the stress caused the first one but after the second one I started to wonder if I had a little peanut growing. So I took a test and it came up negative. I called the advice nurse to see if there might be something wrong. She stated that it sounded like I was pregnant and to wait 2 weeks and take another test. I did and it is still negative. I questioned if I could have an illness. She replied that if my period was not late that it sounded like a pregnancy. This is driving me insane. My husband is so excited but we dont know for sure are there any ways of telling? The nurse told me to wait until my next period before I come in. It is driving em nuts. Any advice?

It has been 2 weeks since my second light period. This just seems odd. I thought the tests would ahve detected it by now

Aww I wish I could help! But sometimes a person may never get a positive hpt even though they are pregnant. I for one, my last "period" was just like you described, when I usually have a 5-7 day period. I got a negative result up until I actually missed my period. Now I have an apt on sept 2nd to find out exactly how far along I am.

When are you due for your next period? I honestly would schedule an appointment with your doctor, no matter what that nurse says about waiting, because if there is something actually wrong, you would want to know asap! This way, you can also get blood work done to see if you are indeed pregnant and you don't have to stress yourself about with waiting.

Keep us updated, good luck!
