I’m honestly at a loss. I am just dying to get back to my gynecologist, but of course, he decided to extend his vacation right when I need him most.
Here's the deal: my period started on August 8th, but it lasted only one single day. It was way lighter than usual, and the cramping was pretty intense. By Sunday, it was completely gone—just some spotting left on the pad.
Since I’d been fighting with my boyfriend, I figured it was just stress.
But this dull ache in my abdomen won't quit. On top of that, I'm feeling exhausted, jittery, dizzy, and I have absolutely no appetite.
I took a pregnancy test, and it was negative...
Now I'm stuck wondering what's actually going on. Is it an infection, a cyst, or could I still be pregnant despite the test?
Has anyone else dealt with anything like this?

Same thing happening over here 🤷
only mine showed up on August 10th. Haven't bothered testing yet—still a little spooked from the last time—so I'm just gonna wait a bit longer...

Yeah, Doc says everything’s fine, so let's just get back to work... 😉

swiftridge90 said:I'm so sorry, Joseph Murphy6. I know that disappointment all too well, unfortunately.
did your period end up starting?🤷

Yeah, I guess so. But it was pretty weak—definitely due to stress, I'd say. No silver linings here.

hiddenscout362 said:Joseph Murphy6, I honestly don't get it either—how can you have two positive tests and still not be pregnant?!

Look...
I’m not gonna overthink it. Why, how, whatever... life happens.
That week was just pure chaos. A massive amount of stress hit me all at once.
But I'm done letting that happen to me.

There'll be another round...

Until then, I'm rooting for all you guys seeing those plus signs. 😍

Time to get back to work so I can join the club ASAP! 😉

swiftridge90 said:boohoo, hit me up... you still got those credits 😉

Nothing... 😢

and honestly, I’m kicking myself for testing right on the day my period was due...

I totally let myself get swept up in the idea of us having a baby. Even though I knew deep down it was way too early and could go south any second—plus, it was basically our first shot at it...
And I've never really been into the whole pregnancy thing. You could even say I wasn't interested at all. But man, this hurts. It's hard to believe. 🤷

Just feeling pretty down.

But whatever...

Next time, I'm waiting until I'm at least 10 days late before I even look at a test. We'll just get serious about it and hopefully, we'll see that plus sign soon enough.

Sorry for the vent...

casualowl32 said:Look, just go grab a test tomorrow so you actually know. Honestly? I think you already know what the answer is. But with all this confusing guesswork going on, just take another one so you can finally stop worrying.

looks like nobody's sleeping tonight 😍

casualowl32 said:Look, I'm banking on those two positive tests you took before your period started. There’s no way you're seeing a plus sign unless you're pregnant...

Are you feeling anything yet? Not that you necessarily have to—some people don't feel a single thing at first.

Nauseous every now and then, but it's pretty mild. Might just be in my head...
A bit dizzy too—but honestly, that’s pretty normal for me...
Now I'm second-guessing everything...

casualowl32 said:Tomorrow marks your 5th week. Go ahead and take the test—it’s gotta be positive.

Man... oh man... that would be incredible... 😍

Don't get ahead of yourself just yet.🙂

casualowl32 said:For sure. Look, pregnancy tests can give you a false negative, but they don't do false positives. If you see a plus sign, you're pregnant....

When was your last period (the one before this one)?

8/6

casualowl32 said:Look, how heavy is this bleeding? Is it lighter than your usual flow? Honestly, it has to be, because by all accounts, you're pregnant. I actually knew someone nearby who didn't even realize she was pregnant until her third month. She had her periods like clockwork, just lighter than usual, which she figured was just stress. But you can't just ignore two positive tests. If they were negatives, we wouldn't be talking, but those positives mean something.

it's definitely light...
and honestly, by last night there was barely anything left... just one day of that... 🤷

I've heard stories about that happening too... man... maybe it's real...

you think there's a chance I'm actually pregnant??????????

gonna wait a few more days. I'm too nervous to take a test yet...

Took a test Monday (supposedly day M) and it was positive. A bit faint, but still a plus
Did another one Wednesday and yeah, still positive
Been dealing with nausea and dizziness for about ten days now

Then this afternoon, I started spotting🙂🙂🙂

I’m grabbing the fourteenth cake too!
It’s perfect. We’re doing it with these "sort of" petal decorations in different sizes, just scattered over the top like they were tossed there by hand...
