If you're getting symptoms then you should be able to get a positive pregnancy test.

Have you been to a gyno to talk about your irregular periods?

Im tempted to buy a hpt but i dont know if its still too early. i know the blood test will let me know for sure.

Help me plz!
Help me plz
Hello, My name is Ashley. I am throughly confussed and I am afraid I already have my hopes up completely. But here goes. My husband and I have been trying for a baby for about 1 year now. I have been having all the pregnancy symptoms. Such as: nausia, sensitive nipples, deffinatly darker, constant fatigue and dizzyness, backache and headache, mood changes I cry for random reasons, all I wanna do is sleep and eat and pee. (sorry for the bluntness of what I am saying! ) I have had the feeling like a little bit of pee comes out when I sit down at times. I looked it up and it could be ovulation or pregnancy mucus. So since all the pregnancy tests kept coming back goofy and super weird, i decieded to take an ovulaiton test to determing what the mucus coming out of me was. It is clear and slippery, not like my usual ovulation before my period. And the test said I wasn't ovulating. All I can think about now is a baby. And before all these symptoms came on I was distracted finishing up school and working. Anyway any suggestions or something would help a lot!!! My period will officially be missed on the 12th of april. But my body isnt going through its usual signs that miss flow is about to visit. I think im pregnant its just to early to tell. Plus my husband has been asking me if I am because everymorning and every evening he gets sick and he seems to be having some of my symptoms.

If your symptoms are from pregnancy then you'll get a positive on a hpt.

A blood test will also be very accurate if you're getting symptoms.

I am afraid to take a blood test right now. I have done so many and gotten horrible news such as, It is negative. I think im to early for a hpt. But I wanted to know if the symptoms I listed were normal? And my pregnancy tests keep comming back faint like you can hardly read faint and the others have had no results.

What do you mean wacky results from home pregnancy tests?

Your symptoms could be pregnancy, or they could be PMS. Have you been tracking your ovulation before now?

And your husband would be experiencing what's called sympathy pains-- just understand that whatever he's feeling is not a symptom of yours.

None of them showed anything? Were they all from the same pack?

I really don't mean to insult your intelligence here or anything, but are you sure you did them correctly? Try peeing in a cup and then just dipping the test into it for about 15 seconds. If you still don't get anything then dip it in again.

If you do get a negative, Wannabemommie, I think you and your partner should make an appointment with your doctor to make sure everything is all right since you've been trying for a year now. I'm not really big on actually trying to get pregnant, but there are plenty of women who would be able to give you tips and help in the other pregnancy forums. Smile

The morning is when your urine is more diluted. You should probably wait for the morning.
