A member asked:

Past 4 months what appears to be my period has been shorter&lighter than normal, i've taken several hpt all negative.safe to assume i'm not pregnant?

See details: If you are confident you performed them correctly, then it is a safe assumption. If there is any doubt, let your GYN verify. Since you have noted a significant change in your cycle, I would see your GYN. I'm assuming you are not taking any hormonal medication.
