Late period and pressure in my abdomen?? PLEASE take time to read!!?

Question

i have been in a relationship for 5 years. not on birth control, but use protection. once this past month, the condom was not put on until after intercourse began. however, that may be a little overreacting. i'm under no abnormal stress, no trauma, weight changes, medications, etc.

my period began on july 20. i'm on day 44 of this cycle and usually have 30-35 day cycles. i have taken hpt's (3) and they were all negative. so, i'm assuming i'm not pregnant, but i'm concerned since the whole month of august went without a mp, and i know it's possible for not enough hCG to have been produced, yet.

i've read on here that cramping is a sign of pregnancy, but also a mp. my stomach, this afternoon, has had pressure in my lower abdomen. i wouldn't think it's gas and was expecting it to be a period, but was wondering if there was a way to tell a difference. what type of cramping accompanies pregnancy?

also, implantation bleeding is mentioned a lot. i have had no spotting. does everyone have implantation bleeding?

i'm waiting for a blood test. esp. with the cramping, just to see if my mp starts....but i was wondering these couple of things.

Answer 1

I did not have any implantation bleeding at all with either pregnancy.

Answer 2

go ask your doctor

Answer 3

I never had implantation bleeding with my two pregnancies although it is very common. My early cramps were totally the same as my period cramps. I think things can be very different from person to person though so don't take my experience as concrete. I definitely think getting a blood test is the best thing at this point. It's possibly to get false negatives but not false positives.  

Answer 4

Implantation bleeding is actually pretty rare. And I've never heard of cramping, I've heard of ligament pains but not almost immediately after conception. You should call a doctor.
