Q: pregnancy or stress ?

I have been very detailed in my problem.
Any advice if you can.

In March of last year my period had become "regular" and came on the 6th of everymonth and ended on the 11th. EVERYMONTH. As of April of 2008, I was two weeks and a day late. At th first week of the missed period I took a test, came up negative. At two weeks and a Day late I took another, also negative. But the day after I took the second test, April 22, I was bleeding LITELY, only when I wiped, a light pink/bright red kind of blood. It lasted for all of two and a half days and I spotted litely for 2 days after that. Thought nothing of it, then this month came and I didn't start on the 22 like last mont. I started on the 27th, and again light pink/bright red. In April before the bleeding had started, my breast were sore, they were never tender to the touch but ver sore. I have noticed no discoloration of my areolas, but I just recently noticed a little bloating. Small, slight cramps have been accompanied with the bleeding. I have been more tired lately, and my lower back has been bothering me, BUT i do have back problems. I have been under some stress lately, I believe this is all happening because of stress, others think I am pregnant.

I spoke with a naval doctor today(NO I am not military, but my pregnant friend is), she said your pregnancy can be extremely similar to your mothers. If that's the case, My mother's pregnancies (2, my sister and I) NEVER showed on urine tests, even at 8 months pregnant, it didn't show. She had to have a blood test done. They are pretty pricey and I have no money.

Penny for your thoughts?

sounds like you dont really have much of a choice but to do the blood test since your mom said her preg. never showed up on urine test. Im not sure if planned parenthood does blood test or not, but you could call them. You might want to also call around to diff dr.'s and get prices. Do you have health ins? If you do, it should cover a blood test. GL!
