Question

Can you have a light period and still be pregnant?

My cycles are 25 days normally I bleed for 6-7 days and it's very heavy tampon an hour and leaking through with that for at least 4-5 day then it tapers down . I started what I think was my cycle but it was spoting at first then a little heavier but only for one day then spotting again then gone only lasted 3 days which is very out of the norm for me . I'm 37 and have 4 children and it never been different before
The strange thing is I'm having sore tingly breast since I ovulated last cycle and peeing alot with nausea on and off and after the spotting stopped I'm having light cramping. Any one have any ideas as to what might be going on ? Should I test again ? I did one at 16 dpo and it was bfn. Sorry so long just trying see if anyone may have had this happen to them or any insight. Thanks in advance for any help.

16 dpo is too soon for some to get a bfn. I tested the day of my expected period and got a bfn but I've missed my period by 3 days now and I know I'm pregnant, I just tested too soon. I did not have any bleeding but we're all different. My symtoms at first were light cramping on one side, those cramps are gone now and I've been more tired lately and gradually my breast are getting more tender and feeling full. If the bleeding you experienced was before your expected period wait till you miss your period to test and good luck to you.

Thanks for your answer . The bleeding stated at 18 dpo 2 day after af was supposed to start . But was totally not like my normal af at all. So I'd be like 23 dpo now if that was not af .
