About Andi Cohen Expertise I am a surrogate mother so I can answer basic questions about surrogate pregnancy - the process, medical issues, the experience. I cannot answer direct medical questions, as I am not a doctor.
Experience I gave birth to my surrogate baby girl on 06-06-06! I am officially retired as a surrogate mother now but am still heavily involved in the mentoring, legal and medical process for other surrogate mothers and intended parents. I am involved in 3 networks of other surrogate mothers and intended parents. I have been involved in the legal/contract/medical process of surrogacy for over 18 months. I am also a mother of two.
Question I have been of birth control for a long time and recently stop taking it. I have had unprotected sex several times and had a very light spotting period that was late. I have took two test and they were both negative. I have been eating a lot more lately, some light cramps and breast sometimes feel swollen. I also have been having a lot more bowl movements(which i am unsure if that has anything to do with this but you never know)What are the chances that i am pregnant ?
Answer Hi Liza,
I would try to re-test one more time. Make sure you test first thing in the morning.
I don't know if your symptoms are pregnancy related, (the eating a lot and bowel movements don't really sound like early pregnancy) but you are right you never know.
My gut feeling is that you aren't pregnant, but you need to be sure. If your next test is negative, I would check with your doctor and see what he/she can do about the cycle irregularity.
