Please Help.. Am I Pregnant? Posted: 07-05-05 12:51pm
Hello..
My husband and I are trying to have a
baby.. I got my period may29th.. I have
a irregular cycle (sometimes after 40 days
is my next period) but this june24th,
after doing it everyday, I got a period..
At first we thought it was just
implantation bleeding but it lasted for
like 6days although it is light.. But at
the same time I feel like I want to eat
everything.. I keep on eating but it
feels like im still hungry.. I feel so
tired too in the morning that I can't get
up and I feel like I want to vomit so
often.. Its july5 today and I took a hpt,
it's neg.. My period, I think (im not
sure bec im irregular), is due on
july7th.. What do you think? Am I
pregnant?
Hoping for your reply.. Thanks..

I would wait a few more days and repeat
the hpt...It took a week after I was
supposed to start until my test showed up
positive! :)

With you period being irregular it is hard
to tell when you are ovulating. I would
recommend buying opk's, or using the
temping method to find out when you are
ovulating. You can use one or the other,
but they actually work better when you use
them together. If you are using opk's
alone, I would start using them at about
10 days after you period. When you see a
positive, meaning a really dark 2nd line,
you are about to ovulate. Usually 12-36
hours later. Opk's measure the amount of
lh in you urine, so you have a surge of lh
right before you ovulate.
As for the temping method, what you do is
buy a thermometer. Basal preferably, but
any digital will work. Start taking you
temperature every morning, before you get
out of bed--around same time everyday. A
woman's temp is usually at around 97
before ovulation and peaks at around 98
during ovulation. It's said if your temp
stays contanst after ovulation you are
probably pregnant, and if there is a dip
of one day after your peak you just had
implantation. You will start noticing
a pattern every month and will be able to
tell when you ovulate this way.
There are other methods such as checking
cervical position, and cervical mucous, or
just knowing you body, since some women
will feel a pinch where the ovaries are
during ovulation.
Good luck, and I would try another test if
you do not get a period in several days.
