Trying to Get Pregnant

Am I pregnant?

Hi Ladies,
This may be a dumb question but I have to ask. I have a son that will be six next month, so I know the feeling of being pregnant. My period was due 2/28/16 but was four days late and came on 3/3/16 (which I'm NEVER late). Before my period came I took 3 pregnancy test and all came back negative. I was having early pregnancy symptoms but of course the ones that could also be signs of my menstrual cycle. My period did last about 4-6 days and seemed to be normal. I'm still having symptoms, such as sore breast, exhaustion, lower back pains, cramping and a sharp vaginal pain that comes and goes. So my question is have any of you experienced this and found out you were pregnant or was my period just late? I feel pregnant and just want to know if anyone else is going through this.

Re: Am I pregnant?
Take a pregnancy test. There is no way any of us can possibly know if you are pregnant or not.
ETA: It's also against TOU to ask this community if you are pregnant.
Negative test= not pregnant at this time. Regardless of anything else. No one else can tell you otherwise.

Sometimes PMS symptoms linger through a period and even for a couple of days after a period. I'd assume that has something to do with it taking some extra time for hormones to drop back to pre-O levels.
I know it isn't exactly uncommon for me to have some PMS symptoms linger for a couple of days after my period. For example: I'm on CD9 and I'm still having some cramping, heartburn and fatigue. Those are all fairly normal PMS symptoms for me.
I'd also like to address this:
No, the women here are not evil. You'd know that if you had taken the time to lurk some before asking us if you're pregnant. The ladies here are amazing and supportive. They've helped get me through some really tough TTC and TTCAL days. I can't even imagine having gone through all that without them. They've been truly wonderful and I'm so very thankful for them. But of course they won't seem supportive if all you do is pop in to ask if you're pregnant and then attack them.
Just so you know, it is horribly cruel and insensitive to tell a bunch of ladies struggling TTC that they're evil and imply that they would be bad mothers and/or that they shouldn't have children. You have absolutely no idea what the ladies here have been through. And I promise you that nothing said to you was even half as cold as your implication that the ladies here shouldn't have children. Many of the ladies here have been struggling TTC for a long time. Several of them have IF diagnoses. Quite a few of us have been through loss. Of course we want to be mothers. Everyone knows that wasn't an innocent question about whether or not we want children. You should be ashamed of yourself.
I think you owe the ladies here an apology. And after you've apologized I'd suggest you read the TOU and then participate in the daily WTO/TWW threads. I think you'd learn a lot.

many of the women here have not been pregnant, so no, no one has experienced that.
I have, I was not pregnant at the end of the bleeding because it was a miscarriage. Is that the answer you were after?
Some women may spot through early pregnancy, or have light bleeding for a few days, depending on a few factors. But bleeding for several days heavy enough to need to change a pad several times a day is a period and you are not pregnant. Take a test and leave.

You may may want to pop on over to the the Glow community. Apparently over there pregnant women have periods all the time. They will probably give you the sunshine and rainbows answers you are looking for.

In all honesty though, nobody here cares what you think about them. Read @NamelessAria 's advice. If you don't like it, too bad. That is all.

I halfway feel like there is a thread over on Glow or something where people are like:
"You wouldn't believe how uptight those women over on TheBump are. You can just ask some simple question about your cycle and whether or not you could still be pregnant and they just go crazy. They're so mean!"
And then someone else chimes in like "It's true! I tested this out by asking if I'm pregnant and they all just started posting rude gifs to me. You guys should try it. It's weird how upset they get. I'm so glad we're not like that here on this forum!"
