ok here's the chart:
april 14-19: i had my period
april 28: ALMOST had intercourse but didn't push through. worried that
semen (pre-cum) may have "seeped" through my undies.
may 21-25: had light period. thought it was implantation bleeding.
decided to take pregnancy test to confirm.
june 3: 1st pregnancy urine test: NEGATIVE
june 7: 2nd pregnancy urine test: NEGATIVE
however, my breasts are still sometimes itchy it "it feels like
growing". stretch marks visible. i feel a little gassy at times too.
any relation to pregnancy? could it be possible that i am pregnant?
thanks!
