Q: Am i pregnant ?

Hi! Sorry if this all sounds a bit dumb on my part but im only 18 and i dont know what im supposed to be feeling like?

So here are a few symptoms i've been having..

- Headaches
- Needing the toilet more often
- Weird cramping that doesnt last for very long and not that strong
- A funny feeling around that area that feels like trapped wind or gas or something like that


I did do a home pregnancy test and this is the picture of what it showed.

Now i know its a really bad picture but its just a faint tiny blue line!


I havent had any of the metal taste or sore nipples.. i havent felt sick for no reason.. im not tired!

Can anybody help?

Hi~

That looks like a faint positive although I cannot say for sure because blue dye tests are hard to tell with. I would take another test of a different brand (First Response is great), and then take another one in 3-4 days again to give more time for HCg to build up. You need to see the doc to confirm via blood/urine of preg, especially since this looks like a faint positive.

As for your symptoms, no question is dumb so don't think that. =) Each woman will feel different things. Some notice more symptoms than others, etc. You may not get all the textbook symptoms.

I think now that i have it in my head.. absolutely everything that happens to me im thinking ohh does this mean i am? but then i get some slight stomach cramps and i think im not!

My nipples have little bumps on them.. my mum asked if i "feel pregnant" but i dont know what that is supposed to feel like!

I took that test on friday so im taking another tomorrow with a different kit and we'll see what happens!

Now i have it in my head that i might be, i really want to be!

Yes, that happens too. We start to over analyze each thing that happens to us. The best thing to do is just relax, avoid smoking, drinking, keep yourself busy until you test again. Find a good book, play online games, etc. Otherwise you will drive yourself crazy! LOL

Let us know what happens! =)

Go to planned parenthood, they will test you for pregnancy. If your last period was February 18th, you should have a bright blue test (aka LOTS of pregnancy hormones). It shouldn't be 'iffy' whether or not the test is positive.

In addition, if you read the test after 10 minutes, an evaporation line can be present which can make tests appear to read a faint positive when that isn't what is going on at all.

Re-take the test with your first morning urine as the directions state. Read the test within the time frame it says on the box. If you do not trust the test, go see a doctor or your local planned parenthood office.

Edited to add: I AM SO SORRY! I read a title for LMP Feb 18th and then thought that was you. Sorry.

It was due on the first.. so i guess its only like 5 days late.

I know its pretty unlikely that i am and the more i think about it the less likely it is but its made me very broody thinking its possible

Hello,
Try a different brand pregnancy test and relax.If you are pregnant,worrying wont make it go away.Symptoms of your period are the same as being pregnant.If your period is late,then it could be from stress or a specific time that you had sex not far from your period date which can change the cycle.If an entire month is gone and your period has not shown,see gynecologist.
