It's way too early for most of those symptoms first off. And you normally have to wait until your period is due, or late for an accurate result. I would wait on testing until you've missed your period. Are you ttc?

if you've gained 15 pounds in a week, you need to see a doctor PRONTO. even full-on pregnant women dont gain that much.

Definitely, if you've gained 15 lb. in a week, see a doctor! It's not from being pregnant, I can assure you! It's also NOT normal, whether you are pregnant or not. You want to see a doctor about that. Are you on the pill or anything? I just ask because I had a bad reaction to birth control pills, they made me retain water terribly, which made my weight go up about 15 lb. in 1 month, and the pill also made my breasts larger.

I'm almost 28 weeks pregnant, that's in my 7th month pregnant, and I've gained 11 lb. from my pre-pregnancy weight to this point.

Have you recently taken oral steroids like prednesone (sp?) Often taking those can make you rapidly gain weight. But still 15 pounds in 10 days is a bit much.

Go see your doctor = and test if it will ease your mind.

Your back would hurt if you'd gained that much weight in a week and 1/2. Your breasts will also gain weight.

I don't know if it is possible for you to be pregnant, but symptoms like weight gain and breasts getting larger don't happen before your period is due, they usually happen after.

As far as testing goes, you need to wait until your period is due and/or late.

As the other posters suggested, you should see a doctor to see what is going on with your weight gain. That is not healthy nor is it normal.
