Trying To Conceive. Sore Breasts, Acne And Watery Periods. Pregnancy Test Negative. Chances Of Pregnancy?
I'm 39, actively trying to get pregnant. I had sore breasts for 3 weeks then went away, sudden onset of acne, bright peachy pink watery "period" that only lasted 48 hours, been feeling very emotional, fatigued, headachy and sore lower back. Took a pregnancy test one week after the strange "period" but was negative. I am overweight and didn't test positive with my first child on a home pregnancy test until 9 weeks. Is it possible I could be pregnant and getting false negatives?

Hi,
Thanks for your query.
The chances of pregnancy are there but with negative urine pregnancy test chances are less because urine test 99% effective in detecting pregnancy if it's done properly.
Your symptoms are more suggestive of PCOD or some hormonal problem.
You should consult a gynecologist to rule out pregnancy with a blood test and ultrasonogrphy.
GOOD LUCK.
Take care.
