My name is Arianna. I'm 16. I don't know if i'm pregnant. We had sex aug 1 and the condom broke, i was supposed to start aug 11 and didnt. On aug 10, 11 and 12 i had light brown spotting. I have a few of the symptoms: headaches, sensitive to smells, nausea(no vomiting),lower abdomen cramps, bloating, sore breasts, breasts and nipple largening, frequent trips to bathroom, moody like crazy and tired a lot.

It could be your period or you had sex too hard. I would of said it was implantation bleeding but if it was it would of occured alot sooner (as your period was due on the 11th august).

You should just wait till you see the Doctor and then you'll get the results. Or take another Pregnancy test as it should show now as your over 2 weeks late.

You may be getting symptoms because your thinking about it so much.

It happens alot more then you think. I was so convinced I was pregnant I missed periods - got alot of the symptoms but I wasn't pregnant and my mind was only at rest when the Doctors comfirmed I wasn't.

It sounds to me that you want a positive result. Good Luck

A female reader, hlskitten United Kingdom +, writes (26 August 2007):

hlskitten agony auntTrue actually. If the test wasnt done to instructions, is out of date, illnesses, meds people might be on, or if it was used before the missed period. They are supposedly 99% acurate and unless its changed, which is possible in the 10 years since i used one, but my gp said shop bought are the same as tests they use. So when i tested positive at home they wouldnt even re test at the surgery. Like i say could of changed these days though.

Hi, I work in Obstetrics and Gynaecology and you CAN get a false postive result sometimes..

Are these tests you have taken from the chemists? Have you thought about maybe putting one in at a clinic or doctors (sorry I dont know the procedure for the US but you can do one anon at a local chemist in the UK). The symptoms you are having could also be psychosomatic if you are constantly worrying about being pregnant..

Lots of luck x

hlskitten agony auntHi

I know you can get a false negative but not a false positive so it is possible, but 5 tests saying you aren't i would believe them. Especially as its not even that soon after your period was due. Next step would be the doctors. Could be a hormone imbalance going on here.

The tests they do there tend to be the same ones you can buy, but i expect they will do more tests & examinations to tell you for sure.

Good luck.

Ladyme agony auntThe only way you can sort this out is by going to your doctor to get a test done there. Im pretty sure that one of the 5 pregnancy tests would have shown up positive if you were pregnant espeshially the 2 weeks late one. If its your first time it could be just your hymen breaking which could cause the spotting. But i strongly adivise to go to your doctor as there is still a chance. In the meantime can you confide in someone to share your worry?.

I really hope everythings ok for you xxx
