Q: Pregnant Yes Or No
asked by: monetlee on October 23rd, 2003

I am a little nervous. I have not had a menstraul cycle for over two months now. I have taken two pregnancy test and they both came back negative. I took one about two weeks after my cycle was due and then I took another about a week after that. I have headaches, lower backaches, my breast are swollen, my nipples hurt, I feel like I have a weight in my lower abdomen, I am tired all the time, and I have been really moody lately. I cry a stupid things and then two minutes later I am fussing about something that is not even that important. By looking at my dates I had sex with my husband exactly two weeks before my cycle came on. When it did come on it only lasted a day and it was very lite. That was in august. I thought stress might be a factor, but usually when I am stressed and miss a month it will come on the beginning of the next month. What do you think I should do?

Dear monet,

i think you need to make an appointment with your doctor and request a blood test. The symptoms you are experiencing do sound like you could possibly be pregnant, but the only way to know for sure is to get a blood test done. Common symptoms in pregnancy are tiredness, nausea, sore or tender breasts, sensitive nipples and frequent urination. Some women do have implantation bleeding about 3 - 11 days after conception which is the egg atatching itself to the lining of the uterus, which should only be very light and only last a day or so. If you had sex with your husband exactly 2 weeks before your period was due, then there is a very good chance you were very fertile at that time, or ovulating.

Good luck...

I think you should go get a blood test. I had a friend who took home pregnancy tests all the way up to 9 months and it always said negative because the hormone in her body was not strong enough to react on the test. Best of luck ~melissa
