Am I pregnant or not?? Sooo confused :/

**rachiiebaybiie92** · 07-24-2011 06:13 PM

Well my last period was on the 8th july (just over 2 weeks ago now) and on friday just gone I had what i thought was my period, it was light and looked a bit pinkish, and today (about now) it has gone. What is it? What should I do? Am I pregnant? Can anyone help? And is it too early to take a HPT??

Thanks x

Sounds like normal spotting. Take a HPT if you miss your period by at least a week.

However you haven't told us anything about your sexual activity or what kind of birth control you are on, so we don't have much to go on to help you!

Mes is right. We need more info.

Am I pregnant?

Are you having unprotected sex? If so it is certainly possible you are pregnant, but also possible you are not.

I'm assuming the "two weeks" thing is in your mind because you're thinking "ovulation". But not all women ovulate on day 14 of their cycle. I don't ever ovulate before day 20 of my cycle. With that said, you "should" be getting very close to ovulation at this point in your cycle, or have already just ovulated. Sometimes, ovulation can cause some light spotting. Implantation (pregnancy) can also cause some spotting. Implantation typically occurs within 2 weeks of the egg fertilization. So if you were pregnant, that would mean you had to ovulate immediately after going off your period (possible though not likely). And if the spotting WAS implantation bleeding (which I dont think it was) then that would mean you would already be producing the pregnancy hormone and should be able to have an accurate pregnancy test.

If it were me? I'd go buy a cheapo test and take it just for peace of mind.
