Okay, well for one, it's a little early for some of those symptoms (you might be imagining them since you're so eager to have a baby, lots of women do it). Otherwise, if you're pregnant, testing won't change that, and it certainly won't cause a miscarriage. It's probably in your best interest to test tomorrow (wait until your period is ACTUALLY late) so you don't think about it constantly. Even if you aren't pregnant right now, there is still LOTS of time for you to get pregnant. Good luck Smile

few questions, does your boyfriend know you want to get pregnant? have you been on birthcontrol? have you discussed this with him, your family?

Simply put you need to test! 1) you need to know and put your mind to ease and 2) if you ARE pregnant you need to begin prenatal care pronto!
