Q: Symptoms of pregnancy ?
asked by: ForeverDreaming0712 on September 22nd, 2003

For the past 4 days I have been having really weird symptoms. My period is supposed to start today or tomorrow, and 4 days ago my breast started to hurt and they haven't stopped. Yesterday I had to use the bathroom more then usual and there was a light colored blood in the urine. After I am done using the bathroom, it almost feels like a tingling sensation, and its actually a lot of urine coming out. Today is the 5th day and I am dizzy this morning. I took a pregnancy test yesterday and it came out negative, but I also drank a half a gallon of cranberry juice about 3 hours before I took the test. Could that affect the results? Can anyone give me advice.

Everytime you drink something it blocks the test. Because you arent due yet for a period its too early to tell. You should wait a few more days and take a test. In the morning, and dont drink anything. You dont usually feel any symptoms until about 3-4 weeks after your period was late, so it might be in your head. Take another test if your period doesnt come.

Girl go to the doctor's you might hav a urinary tract infection. That is a bad thing. It can go up to your kidneys and if you are pregnant that is not good for the baby. I am not trying to scare you. Blood in urine is not a good thing go get checked out.

Unsure of Symptoms
Dear forever dreaming,

i'm not sure drinking anything can affect your pregnancy test, read the instructions on your test it will tell you which things effect the test. As for waiting to test, it should also tell you in the instructions, the ones we use here in australia say you can use them 3 days prior to your period being due. As for not having symptoms 3 - 4 weeks after your period is due I had sore boobs 1 - 2 weeks after conception, 3 - 4 weeks getting tired, and 6 weeks morning sickness. I guess we are all different and we will all get different symptoms with different pregnancies. God knows my first onewas completely different from this one.

Ps. Sorry nikki...

Regards,

.::suzy::.

The test are more accurate in the morning because the levels are more concentrated then however the levels should still be high enough during the day even after drinking to show up as a positive (all of mine were negative until I went to the doctor however but this was just me). Other than fatigue I didn't experience any symptoms until my 7-8th week. By the 9th week I had horrible "morning" sickness (i usually got it mid afternoon)
let us know how it goes!

I am going to take another pregnancy test, because my breasts have been swollen and sore for over a week now. There is no longer blood in my urine, it happened for one day. I still have to urinate more then usual, some days better then others. Today I have been crying over everything. If some one looks at me the wrong way I bust into tears. I think I am just stressing my self out. Yesterday I woke up in the middle of the night wanting peaches. My first day of my last period was on the 22nd. My nipples are looking bigger and different. Could all these symptoms be in my head? Thank you for all the advice.

Ok well actually if drinking alot of fluids can block out a drug test and only show up fluids not urine containing drugs, why cant it block out the preg. Hormone? Its ok if it doesnt. I only say this is because drinking alot of fluids can mess up a drug test for a probation officer to tell if someone is doing drugs. And if you drink alot, the fluids will block out the preg. Hormone too.

Suzy your smart and nice anyways!!!!!

I read on the home preg. Test that drinking a lot of fluids can/does affect the test. It dilutes the hgc levels in your urine. To determine a pregnancy, you are told to take in the morning. I drank a lot of fluids before I took my test and it came up negative. I have yet to take another one, but after I took it and saw the negative I read the instructions. It tells you specifically not to drink fluids within 5 hours of your testing. It does dilute the hormone efficiency dectors of the test.

Went to Doctors
They didn't do a blood test or any test on me. They said that since the first day of my last period was on the 22nd, its too soon to tell if I am or not. So I have to go back on the 6th, and on the 16th for a full internal exam
