I am 24 years old. My husband and I were certain that I was pregnant but I got my period this past thursday. My symptoms include extremely sore breasts and nipples, stretch marks forming on my breasts, tiny bumps on my nipples, nausea, dizziness, very tired, and very frequent urination. Thursday I started lightly bleeding (this was the day before I was due and I am never on time. Always late!). I thought it may be implantation bleeding however as the day progressed it got heavier. It's saturday and i'm still bleeding like a regular period but I can't shake the feeling that I am pregnant. I took a pregnancy test friday morning and it said negative. Also, my breasts usually stop being so tender after the first day of my period but they are just as sore as ever. I am not on birth control and my husband and I used condoms or spermicidal foam every time we had sex. Can anyone shed some light on what is going on! Confused

hello and welcome!

i'd say based on the fact that you used condoms and foam *and* you got your period that you're not pregnant. if you're still concerned and think the home tests aren't accurate you could always go to the doctor and request a blood test.

when you're trying to get pregnant or think you might be it's very easy to read into every little thing, such as sore breasts or nausea. pregnancy symptoms and very similar to pms symptoms and you could have also had a mild bug.

you can either test again when your period is over or get a blood test. good luck.

Great thanks so much! I am feeling a lot better and think I was reading into things like you said. I'm pretty bummed because I would love to be pregnant so my husband and I are talking about trying! Very
Happy
