Irregular Periods & Possible Pregnancy: What to Know

Question
Hi.  I haven't had a "normal" cycle since July 6. When my period was due th end of July, I had what I thought could have been implantation bleeding because I spotted a couple days and bled only about 3 days(I never have spotted before). When my period was due in August, I spotted again and bled for 2 days, and It definately didn't seem like a period. I also haven't had any cramping like my period is about to come. My period is due in a couple days. Now I've had several symptoms of pregnancy, but I've gotten negative HPTs and a negative blood test, so as far as I know, I'm not pregnant, but my stomach is a little swollen and I have tender breasts now. I had more symtoms earlier and I'm not feeling so nauseated anymore. According to a website on the net, I'd be 11 weeks if I were pregnant. Do you have any possible reasons for the strange things that's been happening?

Answer
Hi Rocky,

It sounds to me like you are just experiencing irregular cyces which can cause you to have pregnancy like symptoms.  If you had a negative blood test, then you are not pregnant.  If you miss your period this month, test again, but I really think your hormones may be acting differently.  Good luck!
