Okay, I could really use some advice or some suggestions.. I can only look up the answers from Google so many times till I can't find the right answer I am looking for. On July 3rd I started to have light spotting like a brownish color, almost like your period is ending. It only lasted that one day and haven't had that since. I haven't had any cramping like my period is coming, no lower back pain. I never received my period for July. We are now in the beginning of August and still no period. I did take a pregnancy test from the dollar tree and that came out negative. I planned on waiting till the end of this month to take the last test.. My question is can I still be pregnant?? I am not going to stress over or be obsessed about it but I would like to know if I could be or not. I don't have insurance so its not like I can just go to the doctor anytime to find out. I want the pregnancy test to come out positive once before I go to a doctor to get it confirmed. Any advice or suggestions will help...

Nobody can really say if you are or not, i've had this exact same thing many times, i've missed periods 3 months at a time, i'm 2 months late right now actually, but if you know there's nothing wrong with you or your partners reproductive organs than you might be, as for me, my boyfriend is most likely infertile, so i never expect to be pregnant lol, i would advise getting a normal at home test especially before going to the doctor.

Yeah I use to have irregular periods where I wouldn't have one for like 5 months then when I got one it was like 2 weeks long and really heavy. I guess it runs in the family on my moms side.. my sister was never like that though. After taking the pill for a month they came regular each month just different times. I will wait for a little longer before going to the doctor. I want to see if my period is just late due to stress or something like that. Thank you for posting your advice and suggestions.

Well, it is possible that you could be pregnant and the spotting that you were having was implantation bleeding. When I was pregnant with my son I did take the pregnancy test from the Dollar Tree and it was positive for me. However, I wanted to be completely sure so I went to Birthright in our area and let them do a pregnancy test as well. If there isn't an option like that in your area, you can also go to the health department and they will be able to do free or low cost pregnancy testing.

The pregnancy tests from the dollar tree are fake, which is why they came out negative. When you go to the doctor, if you only get a pregnancy test then usually they don't make you pay, but if they do then it would only be a small amount that you could pay for. The other option is to go to a nearby Planned Parenthood. They will take you in and give you a test for free and they have the best pregnancy tests that are always or usually very accurate. There is no reason you shouldn't go see your doctor. If you are pregnant you NEED to get in a get checked. You will need prenatal vitamins and such to keep the baby healthy. You must get in somewhere.

thank you for the advice. I was told by one of my good friends that took the dollar tree tests and they were accurate for her. I will look into seeing a doctor about the whole thing. Thanks again for your input. I also have been taking prenatal vitamins just in case I am pregnant.

if it's not a money problem you should go to see a doctor. i was about this far in pregancy when i went to see a doctor. if you can't aford it you should by from the farmacy some realible test. if it came out negative you should defenatly go to see a doctor because you got some health problems and it would be wiser to find out wicth are they. i hope the next test would be +.

That's what i think I will end up doing. I was actually thinking about giving it a few more weeks to see if my period comes. But either way i will be seeing a doctor one way or another. Thank you for your input.. :)

Yes you could be pregnant. I was seven months pregnant with my son before my pregnancy was confirmed. I had to get a blood test to get it confirmed because my body was not making enough hcg for it to show up. This is how the urine tests measure to tell if you are pregnant or not. I had seven tests done that were urine tests and they were all negative including one at the hospital then my husband asked for a blood test and it was positive. If in doubt, ask for the blood test.
