Possible Pregnancy Symptoms: What To Do After a Negative Test

Question
Hello I am a 26 year old female with one child already.  My last period was on 9/3/05.  But it only lasted 2 days and was not heavy as normal.  I have not been feeling right for 2 or 3 weeks and have a strange feeling I am pregant.  My breast are a little sore and seen to have gotten a little bigger.  i have a full feeling in my stomach and I am tired all the time.  I took a pregancy test but the results were negative.  I am concerned that I am pregant and want to know for sure.  Any advice or answers please let me know.

Answer
Even if your period only lasted for two days, it was probably O.K., especially since the pregnancy test was negative. If you have any doubts, wait to see if you get a period on October 1. If you do not get your period, wait an additional week and take a pregnancy test. If you still have doubts, take two blood tests for pregnancy (Beta HCG) 48 hours apart. If there is a doubling of the results ini 48 hours, it indicates a viable pregnancy. If the results are both less than 5, it means you were never pregnant. Don't worry. You do not have to do anything at this time.
