Ok, i really thought i was pregnant this month, but about 5 days before my period was due i took an ept which measured like 10 of the hCG (Sorry im not sure what its called) and it came back negative. I had almost all of the symptoms, and i still do have tingling bbs on and off and some of the other symptoms. But for the last couple of days, i have really light bleeding on and off... one night i got really bad period pain and i thought ok this is it, and then a little blood, but then nothing... could i still be pregnant? Should i take another test or am i just stressing?

Buy a test. Don't just buy a one pack, buy the two pack. If your period is just a day or two overdue, your test might result in a negative, and if you don't have it a week later, you'll want to take another test, so buying a two pack is handy. It can also confirm the first test, in case you don't believe it.
Be aware of your body. Do you suddenly feel "ripe?" You might feel kind of thick and juicy, like a ripe peach.
Keep a notebook by the bed. Often when you are pregnant, you will have vivid dreams.
Think about your tastes.
You might notice you are craving things you normally don't think of, and it can range from one pregnancy to another, from fruits to steaks to watermelon...it's not all about pickles and ice cream.
Often you will be repulsed by things as well, certain smells, raw meat, even images of war or violence that once never bothered you can suddenly turn you away or make you feel sad. You get hungry more often and if you don't eat, you may feel nauseous until you do eat.
Keep track of your emotions. You might feel emotional about little things, cry more easily in movies or when hearing a sad story.
See to your senses. Your senses are often heightened, especially tastes and smells.
Monitor how much you need to go to the bathroom -- if you're pregnant, you may need to urinate more often.
Examine your energy level. You might wake up and feel extremely tired within a few hours of waking and need a nap.
Tips
If you have a lot of these symptoms, you shouldn't rule out pregnancy (unless you have been abstinent). Even if your test reads negative, you might still be pregnant. Wait a few days and re-take it or go see your doctor.
You may notice pregnant women wherever you go. (It's like buying a certain kind of car, suddenly you notice others who have the same car too).
You may have a desire to clean or rearrange your place (nesting).
Don't count on morning sickness to tell you what's going on. Many people do get sick and throw up, but not everyone.

I don't think there's anything yet to worry about BUT I always like to have my GP give me a pregnancy test just to be sure, that way they can explore other reasons for an irregular, etc. period in the same appointment. I've made the huge mistake of diagnosing myself, and it's a road from which there is no return. A doctor can give you peace of mind, as well as years of education and experience :o)

thats a really tough question. when i was pg with my first child, i had no idea. i was spotting to. i went to the dr and he wanted to take a test, i was like no way, im spotting. but it came back positive. so if u still have other symptoms it would be of your best interest to get in to see a dr. as soon as possible. its better safe than sorry. no your not stressing over it, you need to find out one way or the other. good luck and god bless

I think you may want to get another pregnancy test. It sounds like you're having implantation bleeding. If the pregnancy tests still come back negative, go see your doctor and request a BLOOD test.
Good luck!!!!

How old are you? Are you old enough to be getting ready to go through menopause? If not yes take another test. If not sure go to the doctor then you will know for sure.

It sounds like this could be stress related. When we are stressed about something whether the thing causing it is good or bad can mess with our periods.
To be on the safe side please contact your dr to see what they think.
