Hi, I am 30 yrs old. My husband and I are trying for baby #2. the past couple wks I have been having early pregnancy symptoms but the pregnancy tests are neg. I was suppose to start my period on April 30th but was 2 days late and the first 2 days were lighter then normal 3rd day only light spotting. Could this be a sign of pregnancy?

Hello, I would be happy to help you with your question.

Given that you have had one prior child, it does not sound like there are any fertility issues. It is also possible that you just checked the test slightly early and this should be rechecked over the next week. Finally, if the test remains negative and you still don't get your period, then ovulation either did not occur or was delayed (and thus the delayed / abnormal cycle).

I hope that this helps. If you have more questions, please click on "ASK ME A QUESTION" link above to directly ask me a question!
