Pregnancy Info HOME

Hi all! I'm new to this, but thought I could use/give plenty of assistance! My boyfriend and I recently purchased a home and are on the path to getting married. We decided to try to have a baby, and have only been trying for about a month. We had unprotected sex three times, twice about a week after I had my period, and once about two weeks after that. I have irregular periods, but my last was on the 4th, so I assumed it would be on the 4th of this month as well. I am now two days late and I know that is no big deal since I am irregular, but nobody told me how anxious you get to find out!!! I was just wondering what is a good home test to use at this stage?
PS: I am having symptoms such as overeating and hunger, exhaustion, and odd feelings in my stomach. No real signs of period coming on and no breast tenderness.

i think that you should wait till your a week late, thats why i did and i did 4 tests after that in the morning because its the strongest and they all came back postive each day. its scary finding out so make sure your not alone and you have either a partner to support you or family and friends, your body will go through so many different emotions, just make it clear that your allowed 2 feel like that when your pregnant. good luck x

Sounds like the symptoms that i had when i first found out i was pregnant. I would wait a couple more days but then take a clear blue pregnancy test. In my opinion they are the best home test out there. Chances are you would be more like 4-5 weeks along by now, assuming you would have concieved the week after your last period. Good Luck.

Okay...so I don't know what to think. If I go by the 28-day cycle, I should have gotten my period on Friday. But they always say women aren't always on the 28-day cycle. And I have been on the pill for ten years, I don't know what my "regular" cycle is supposed to be. But I don't have my period and this is Wednesday....day 34. I have First Response pregnancy tests at home that claim they can detect pregnancy five days before your scheduled period, so I took one Thursday and it came back negative. So I don't know if it was too early to detect it or if I am really not pregnant. But then why don't I have my period?!? Should I test again or should I wait this week to see if I get my period? I don't know what to do.

ok... so.. i'm 19 me and my fiance have been ttc for the past 7 months. I have had hormonal immbalances due to Endo but had the Endo removed back in july and put on pills to regulate my periods... the past three months have been normal.. the first of every month.. it is now 2 weeks(tomorrow) past my period.. My boobs are sore, nipple are sensitive and a lil darker but not the aerola, peeing a lot more(i would be about 6 weeks if i am preg), mild cramping, a lil tired but not much(might be due to working all day for 8 hours), fiance said my discharge was a lil thick when we were messing around but not white... i checked myself this morning and i had a discharge but it wasnt really thick and it had a milky feeling, and a lil white. I have taken like 5 preg tests and all neg(couple were from the dollar store tho). My fiance said it was a lil warmer inside my vagina also... He also said the vains on my breasts are a lil more notciable espeically around my areola next to the nipple...anyone have any answers...?

What an interesting thread. After having been regular as clockwork (and I mean to the hour!) since I was only 10, I am now 12 days late. My other half and I have been trying for 4 months. The only other time I have been late was when I was pregnant with my 8 year old son. I've returned to this thread a few times over the past week or so. I have had what seems to have been implantation spotting, have sore boobs, exhaustion, nausea and an aversion to strong smells - but up until now negative tests. I've been very interested in everyone else's comments and I thought that if I posted my experience, it might bring some confidence to anyone else reading it. Will keep you posted - I'm going to take another test first thing tomorrow and if that is negative, I'm off to the doctor. What will be will be. Good luck to everyone out there.

OK, I'm 20 w/a almost 18mon old lil boy. I recently got married to 1 of the greatest men out there & we've been tryin since Jan. to conceive. I'm a regular every 28 day gal. My thing is w/my 1st child, & only so far I had NO CLUE I was pregnant until I was about 11 week's & 3 day's!! I never had any sign, no sickness, implantation bleeding, not a hint. So last month I started on Feb. 26th, so I went threw here & find my fertile day's, we made sure we met those day, like the month or two before. On Mon. March 12th I started to bleed, could this me implantation bledding?! No more than 2 day's & I was done. No cramp's, & NOTHING like my normal period's. Well yesterday March 26th I was due to start, & nothing!! So today is the 27th which make's me a day late. I'm confused. I want to have a baby so badly, & I'm waaaay too scared to get excited. Some1 help?!

ok, Im like 5weeks late, aint been on the pill in 2yrs coz none can agree with me. i only have 7periods a year, whats going on! help me too, oh and tests are negative, im guna do another one in a bit, i will tell you the results tomorrow!

Just thought I would come back and let you know how I got on. After being 3 weeks late I went to see the practice nurse - she did a urine test and it was negative. The next day I started my period. I guess it wasn't meant to be. It's seems that there are some women who don't show up pregnant until some weeks after but I'd say that a negative test probably means what it says. I did have pregancy symptoms but I spent way too much money on tests and missed out on way too many bottles of wine with my other half. Sit back and relax - you'll find out sooner or later. Good luck x

sounds to me like your pregnant, take a test!!

I am late. taken 3 Dollar Tree preg tests and clearly neg. My average cycle days is 33 and I am on day 43 and no period yet. Cramping, but no other symptoms. I'm not even too sure when my ovulation days are because my days vary between 31 days and 35 days. Can anyone help?

I had the same symptoms - swollen breasts, bloated tummy, cramping, headaches, bad skin and over a week late with my period when I am very regular. I started to panic and found this site and read it for support. After a condom scare I took an ECP, got my period 3 weeks later, then two weeks after that got my period again - which I've been told is normal. The ECP must have really affected my body as I did not have my period in April at all, which made my partner and I panic a bit, but this morning woke up with my period. I'm putting this post up for other women who have used an ECP as there doesn't seem to be much support for women about the strange way it can affect your cycle. All the best to you all.

Hi everyone. I'm no expert but this is what I have been through. I have been pregnant once in my life (last sept o6) but unfortunately we lost the baby due to chromosomal defects. Apparently 1 out of 3 women will have a miscarriage. I never knew this. It took us a while to get over it. I would have been a mother this mothers day. We had tried to get pregnant for 8 months and then finally! I had cramps, well everything associated with an expected period. I was 100% sure I was not pregnant. After being one day late I used a home pregnancy test and It was positive. After the miscarriage it took a while to get my body back to normal. Since then I believe in a lot of things( these are my personal impressions, I am not a doctor) Being pregnant and PMS seems to have the same symptoms with me. Today I am 3 days late and I took a test and It came out negative so .... WHO KNOWS :) I just have to wait and see. My last lost pregnancy was not a good one I was in pain the entire time. Cramps, back ache, fatigue and I was only 8 weeks pregnant. One day I started spotting and I panicked and went to the doctor. After much discussion he sent me to get an ultrasound and they told me my Baby and died and I would have to "wait it out" It was the worst experience of my life because we wanted the baby so much. But we are trying again and maybe we are pregnant. If I am now I know this one is different because I feel different. No cramps or pain. Just waiting. We will find out soon. Until then I will take care and get plenty if rest just in case. I am already taking a maternal vitamin so..... If anyone doesn't feel right then by all means go to the Doctor. I will test again soon I my period does not come. Until then , Good luck to everyone, And you will all do great no matter what happens.

Do a pregnancy test, there are tests that can detect pregnancy hormones days before your period starts. Good luck.

Did one and it is negative. And as of today I started so.... We will keep trying. I don't know how many people on this site are trying but we sure are.:) Sending out positive energy to everyone. Be well!

I thought that I was getting my period because I was having menstrual cramping but it never came. Turns out I was pregnant. Go take a test.
