Well lets start off with i have a feeling
im pregnant reasons: the condoms would
break , i think i got pre-cum in me , my
boobs feel sore, i have cramps , i have
been feeling extremely tired , and i feel
bloated ...i took a test monday it must be
one of those early pregnancy tests and it
came up with a feint positive sign ... i
read that no matter how feint that + is it
means your pregnant ... then just
yesterday i took a e.p.t certainity test
... i messed it up on accident but it came
up not pregnant ... now i was thinking i
will take that test in a week when my
period is due.... though i dont know why

hate waiting but i guess i will have
to...please tell me what you think it

Early Pregnancy Signs and Symptoms Answer A534 Posted: 03-22-06 11:10am
A gynecologist will need to know the
following in order to help you further:
When was your last menstruation? How many
days your cycle usually last? When do you
expect your next menstruation to come?
Results from pregnancy tests are valid if
the test is taken not more than 5 days
before an expected menstruation.
Test-results after missed menstruations
are valid. You can take a pregnancy test
if your period is late.
