Q: Could I Be Pregnant?
asked by: Angie84 on November 10th, 2003

My period is 8 days late. I took an ept test 6 days past my missed period, and it said negative. But it seems like the symptoms are getting stronger. Fatigue(i've been oversleeping lately. I usually get up around 10:30am, and i've been waking up around 1pm!!), nausea(i had to leave work today because I felt sick to my stomach, like I was going to throw up.), light cramping(i've never had cramps before even on my period), and heartburn. When should I take another test? And is it better to take on in the morning? Please respond to my email if you can. Thanks for your help! Smile

You could very well be pregnant, but perhaps your body is not producing enough of the pregnancy hormone for it to be detected in a test yet.

It is better to take the test in the morning as that is usually when the hormones are at their highest level.

At this stage, you can request a blood test from your doctor, which are more reliable than a urine test.

Actually
My sister didn't find out she was pregnant until she was 3 months.She went to the doctors over and over again but the test kept coming out negative and then finally it was positive, but all that time she knew she was because she was having morning sickness.It's weird.
