Trying to conceive, implantation pain, periods started, light headed and drowsy, pregnancy test negative
Patient: Hi, I am a 30 year old female trying to conceive. We started trying last month while I thought I was ovulating. The last day we tried was March 28th. On March 31st I started feeling what I assumed was implantation pain. It s been two weeks now, and I still feel it sometimes, although I started my period three days ago. The pain is always in the same spot, towards the left side of my uterus (not in my fallopian tubes ). I was so surprised when my period started because I really felt like I was pregnant . Aside from the uterine pain, I was also feeling lightheaded and drowsy all the time. I took a pregnancy test the day I started bleeding 3 days ago and it was negative. Any idea what could be going on? Doctor: Hello.  Thanks for writing to us.  An implantation takes place at seven days after a successful fertilisation. The symptoms you had are only presumptive of pregnancy and are not confirmatory. Since your pregnancy test was negative, pregnancy is ruled out. I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.  Regards,  Dr. Rakhi Tayal  drrakhitayal@gmail.com
