Question Im 21 years old i have a child already a little girl who is 11months, my last proper period was on the 31 August 05, i have irregular periods, my next period happened on the 2nd october but it wasnt normal it was very light almost like spotting, me and my husband have sort of been trying so im wondering is there still a possiblity that i could be pregnant, i did a pregnancy test last week but it was negative, should i do another one?
Answer If you did get your period on October 2 (even if it was light) you probably are not pregnant. If you have doubts, wait a week and take a pregnancy test. If it is negative, you are definitely not pregnant. Remember that you were only four days late for your period, which is within normal limits.
