SUBJECT: Spotting as a sign?
Okay, I am usually irregular, but when my periods come they are often painless and last approximately four days. Now my last two periods were weird--the first was kinda like a period, but I didn't really fill up a pad and I mostly bled when I went I sat on the toilet. The last period was extremely spotty--even when I sat on the toilet I did not bleed but maybe three times--the rest of the time, I spotted a little on a panty liner.

I have taken several urine tests and they came out negative--went to get a blood test and it was "inconclusive" as per the nurse, who said I showed an HCG level that wasn't normal but was maybe indicative of an early pregnancy.

Now, in two past pregnancies (which did not end in successful delivery) I did not test postive on any test for eight weeks--my doctor was astounded when upon expecting me to be merely six weeks I was found to be fifteen during a routine ultrasound.

In other words, it is not ususual for me to fail tests and be pregnant.

But I wonder if all my pregnancies will be this way or if I simply have an ovarian cyst of some sort.

The symptoms I am having are:

pelvic hevainess, bloating, weight gain (small) nauseau, irritability, breast tenderness, venous changes and frequent urination--what do you guys think?

Thanks so much for your help.
