Q: Am I Pregnant again ?

I am 31 years old. I am already the mother of a beautiful girl who is 18 months old. I was on birth control while nursing and for a few months after. I quit taking the pill in January because my hubbie and I are ready for number 2. My first period was on schedule, 28 day calendar, then in February I didn't get my period until 39 days and the March and April I had normal periods. My last period was April 7th and I should have gotten my period on or about May 5th. A week before that I had nausea but then got a fever and diarrhea, and chalked it up to the flu. I have had lower back pain and swollen breasts. My first pregnancy was easier to tell because I was off the pill for about 8 months and had a regular cycle and when I was late, I was pretty sure. But being that I recently came off the pill, I am not sure. My heart tells me, yes, you are pregnant and my hopes are high but my logical brain tells me, you were late once since getting off the pill, just wait a little longer. As of today it has been 36 days since last period. A part of my says get a test, confirm it and the logical part of me, says wait until 40 days and then get a test because if late like before just throwing away money on a test and what will a few more days of waiting hurt. I have been on prenatal vitamins since January so that is not a problem. I just wanted some other women's thoughts and opinions. Thanks.

your 36days late?
you should go out and get a test, you could be pregnant, why wait 4 more days?
just get a test from the dollar store or something and test it Smile
anyone could guess that yes you are pregnant, but only a test & a doctor can confirm it.
good luck!
hope you get what you want!

No, I'm sorry maybe I worded that wrong. Not 36 days late. I am only a week late, my period was to be on May 5th. I meant in a cycle since the day of my last period it has been 36 days when ususally it is 28 days.

To Mommyofmaggie. I think your ok to go ahead and take a test. Your a week late and have been trying. Yes sometimes when getting off a pill it can mess with your cycle but hopefully since you had a two normal cycles then a missed period you where able to conceive! Take a test and make sure to let us know what happens! Good Luck to you!
