Trying To Conceive. Have Light Spotting, Lower Back Pain, Stomach Pain, Delayed Period. Am I Pregnant?
Hallo,
My husband and I are trying to conceive. It is 5months now and still nothing. In the beginning my period were irregular, but the last 3 months it has been stable on 32 days. This month I am on day 38 and still no period. I have done a HPT on day 33 but it was negative. Yesterday I had light spotting but only on toiletpaper and still nothing has happened. Usually I have very bad low back pain as well as cramps on my stomach. I only have a slight pain on the right side of my back and only when I sit. I don't have any other symptoms, is it possible that I'm pregnant?

Hello,
To confirm pregnancy, you need to undergo one blood test for beta-hCG. Above features may be associated with premenstrual symptoms in the absence of pregnancy.
You need to do unprotected sex around ovulation time to maximize the chance of pregnancy. You can use ovulation prediction kit (LH kit) to predict your ovulation time in mid cycle.
For natural conception, both of you have to try for minimum one year. If you fail in this time, you need to undergo several investigation including husband semen analysis to rule out underlying etiology. You can consult with infertility specialist regarding this.
Good luck.
