Pregnancy symptoms are showing up, your period hasn't arrived yet, and you're convinced you're with bump! You take another test and...it gives you a negative result. You're left feeling frustrated and wondering why.
My last period was almost seven weeks ago but I have had negative pregnancy tests. I feel like my uterus is enlarged. Is this serious and should I have it checked out?
Dear Midwife,
On August 8 I had my menstrual cycle it was irregular. It lasted three days. A week or two later my breasts and tooth started to hurt and I was craving ice lattes. I don’t like coffee like that.
I was waiting on my period because I thought I was about to come on because of the cramping. But it didn’t, on September 5 I found out I was five weeks pregnant.
Dear Midwife,
My husband and I are trying to get pregnant. Now that we are trying I am a little confused. I think my period came early, but I am not sure if it is implantation bleeding.
Dear Midwife,
Beginning of Feb I came to the end of my Microgynon 30 pill pack and the very next day I was due to start Dianette instead (i was advised to have no pill break).
All pregnancy tests look for a special hormone in the urine or blood that is only present when a woman is pregnant. This hormone, human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), is also called the pregnancy hormone. What's the difference between a urine and a blood pregnancy test? Is one better than the other? Read on and find out!

Dear Midwife,
My question is simple. The first day of my menstrual cycle was on 13 June. My husband and I had sex on 23rd, 24th, 28th & 29th of June. My next period is not due until Thursday 12th July.
Is it possible to find out if I am pregnant, now? I have tried a home pregnancy test and it has come up negative. Is it too early to find out by a home test, or do I need to see my doctor, just to make sure? Is there a specific home test that I can do to find out?

Dear Midwife,
I stayed at my boyfriend's house all weekend Friday the 15-16th and we had unprotected sex. My boyfriend ejaculated. I normally take the pill but completely forgot to take it on the 15th. I had a bit to drink.
The thing is I woke up Monday and found a bit of blood in my pants and again Tuesday and today. I'm not due on my period for 3 weeks. The blood isn't really a normal color. It's like a yellowish color. What does this mean? I'm never early either. Could I be pregnant?
