Lighter And Shorter Period. Have PMT Symptoms, Abdominal Pain, Back Ache, Lightheadedness. Pregnant?
My period was 5 days late so i took a test and it was negative. Then my period came but was lighter and shorter than normal (usually 5 days and heavy, this time 2 and normal-light) so i tested again 10 days later and still a negative result, but im experiencing PMT symptoms all the time- sickness, abdominal pains, backache, light headedness and a change in appetite. Could i still be pregnant?

Hi,
Thanks for your query.
The chances of pregnancy in your case may be there because negative urine test does not mean that you are not pregnant because most of the time it is not positive and pregnancy is still there.
You should consult a gynecologist to rule out pregnancy with a blood test and ultrasonography.Symptoms may be because of pregnancy and due to hormonal changes also.
Good Luck.
Take care.
