was "supposed" to have my period and now I have an unusually very light, almost nothing period for the last 2 days with no usual cramping either. I have been tracking my cycles for the past 4 months and so I figured that the days of my Ovulation and my Period would be accurate this month. And as far as I know the days I ovulated were correct by testing and we had sex a few times around and on my " supposed or predicted " Ovulation day so I figured I could be pregnant! More info: I am on a 30 day cycle I suppose so my ovulation day was supposed to be on the 22nd of May and My period was supposed to be on the 5th of June and it is now the 9th of June and it seems like my period has been trying to start for the last couple of days but it is way different than all of my other periods. Could I be pregnant even though my test was negative and I am having a very very light so called period that is late? Please serious answers only!! Thankyou!!

Can I still be pregnant if the test is negative (have a "false negative")? In a word, yes. You could be testing too early (before your baby is making enough pregnancy hormone to be detected by the test.) And some women (this is fairly rare, but possible) never get a positive urine test even when they're definitely pregnant (for some reason the hormone doesn't make it into their urine.) I have a friend who didn't get a positive HPT until 25 DPO! (With her second baby, a test at 23 DPO was negative . . . but a test on 30 DPO was positive. Oddly enough, with #3, her positive test came at only 12 DPO.) If you get a negative test but think you might be preggo anyway, wait a couple of days (giving the hCG hormone time to build up) and try again. It's not over until the fat lady sings-- and your period crashes the party.
If you are not monitoring your fertility in any way (OPK's, charting cervical mucus or basal temperature, ultrasounds) it becomes extra-tricky. There are two parts to every menstrual cycle: from the start of your period to ovulation, which can vary quite a bit in length, and from ovulation to your next period, which is usually consistent in length. (This second half is known as the "luteal phase," and the normal range is 10-16 days. It's normal for your typical luteal phase to vary by a day or two. For example, mine is normally 11 days, but 10 and 12 are not unheard of either. I have also had a couple of longer ones by total fluke.)
Because ovulation can happen at any time, it's possible your egg was delayed for some reason (stress, illness, travel, excitement.) This doesn't mean your period is actually "late" (it could arrive within the normal 10-16 days after ovulation), but rather than your entire cycle was delayed due to a later-than-usual ovulation.
your best bet is to go to the doctor and have a blood test done.
good luck

I think you could still be pregnant, Stop smoking, drinking, and whatever you might do or not and allow a couple more weeks to pass. Then see a doctor, sometimes home pregnancy tests are not correct, on the other hand of you are not pregnant then you will have the chance to talk to your doctor about your calculations and obtain a "after" pill and also ask about your spotty periods. Hope it turns out the way you want it to.

The first test I took was negative, and I had a late, very light period. I am, in fact, pregnant. Yes, you could be pregnant, and you could be having a late, very light period. You may even get your period all throughout your pregnancy. It is normal, but it is rare. I wish you all the best. Good Luck!!!

you can always get a false negitive w/ the tests (but no false positives)... and you can still have a light period while you are pregnant... take another test and take it in the morning (first potty for the day)... and if it is still neg.. but you feel pregnant, go see your doctor and get a definate answer.

Yup, I concur. Take another pregnancy test. Try one of those "early" tests, they can detect a lower amount of HCG in your urine (they're more sensitive). I had a bit of light brownish bleeding when I first found out I was pregnant with my son.
