I was just wanting to ask if there's any possible way that I could be pregnant.On May 4,2008, I started spotting and that lasted for two weeks and then on the May17,2008,I started my period and that lasted for two weeks as well.I was suppose to start my new cycle on June 8,2008,and I did but that only lasted till the end of the night.My temperature is usually 95 to 97 degrees frehenhiet but know its at 98.5 degrees ferinheight. I have also had others signs but I'm not sure if  I should take a hpt.does this mean that its possible that I'm pregnant?
