got my period...or so I thought??

I posted here Thursday the 11th that AF came, early (expected Sat the 13th). It seemed normal and then BAM, it disappeared by Saturday? Normally the is here full on for 5 days with spotting another day after that. So 2 days only which is odd. I took a test Saturday FMU just because, and it was negative.

I really don't think this is IB, since it wasn't just light spotting as I've read IB to be. Now although no bleeding I'm having mild lower abdominal cramps all day today. I feel fatigued and slightly nauseated. The dog's food almost set me over the edge. I hate to think this is all psychosomatic -- so frustrating!

Now of course I keep reading stories of ladies who have an abnormal period (early/late, shorter/longer, lighter, etc), continue to have symptoms, and a 'feeling', and many negative tests until an ultrasound shows them pregnant. I need to stay away from the whole internet!! Ugh I feel pathetic running around looking for stories telling me I could still be pregnant! I feel different - but how can we tell that we're not all just going crazy?

Could this have been an 'early pregnancy bleed', combined with too low an HCG level to show on a test? haha

I suppose this is possible, but odds seem so so slim... am I just holding onto false hopes? The chances of that are probably 10,000 to 1. I have one HPT I haven't used and since I won't need it for 6 more months (DH is away) I figured I'd wait a week and test again? Or would you wait and see if you missed your next period and then test?

Hey sweets! I think to ease your mind, you should test again. If it comes out negative, at least you know where you are. If it's positive, woo!

Good luck doll!

Thanks Mollykins (cute name btw)

I will definitely test again, if for no other reason than I have a test! I just haven't yet decided if I'll test the end of this week, assuming any magical, fantasy, hidden hcg will have grown properly, or if I'll wait another month until I expect my next period.

Though I guess testing sooner if negative will allow me to forget the whole bit and move on...

It's a bit crazy what we put ourselves through isn't it?

It is quite crazy what we put ourselves through. At least we are not alone! We have a whole site dedicated to us. Let me/us know when you test... I think you should test sooner rather than later... but maybe that's just the POAS-addict in me.

FX!!!
