Lighter Periods With Fatigue, Tender Breasts. Pregnancy Tests Negative. Can Still Be Pregnant ?

I would have conceived on Oct. 19th. I had what I thought was a period on Nov. 4th (5 days late) and it was a bit shorter than usual and lighter than usual. Have been experencing extreme fatigue for about 3 weeks although it has eased up a bit in the last week, my breasts are big and tender, nausea on and off for past 3 days, especially if I am not eaten in a few hours, craving meat and protein, taken about 4 home pregnancy test, all negative. I feel very pregnant or there is something else going on that feels exactly like pregnancy symptoms. I am healthy 37 years old and have a 3 year old child.

Hi,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic,

Your period got delayed,in every sexually active woman we need to rule out pregnancy as the cause.

You got lighter period after delay of 5 days and pregnancy test is negative chances of pregnancy are not there.

But you should consult Gynecologist and get Beta HCG test for pregnancy and/or a if required a transvaginal ultrasonography to rule out pregnancy.

Once pregnancy is ruled out then cause may be hormonal imbalance?.

Your symptoms may be due to some other cause so first exclude by above tests.

Hope this information helps you.
Take care.
Good Luck.
