Hi Lola_marie,
Thanks for your question. If you're trying to get pregnant, do you have a trusted OB/GYN you are working with? That would be your best resource for a "professional opinion." Two rules: if you get your period for more than a day, no matter how light or heavy, and no matter how much cramping you get, you're probably not pregnant. If you miss your period, or are only spotting, you should take a pregnancy test or call your doctor's office to schedule a pregnancy blood test to confirm a possible pregnancy.
Here is information from the Mayo Clinic about how to know if you're pregnant:

If you have additional questions, please talk to your doctor. We're happy to provide resources to help answer your question. But bear in mind, we're not doctors and can't diagnose a pregnancy or any other condition. We speak from experience and/or refer to published documentation to help you determine the next steps in advocating for your own health.
Good luck getting pregnant, and keep in touch with your doctor in this time.
