I'm Sorry But I Have to Ask.
Posted: 10-30-06 01:43am

Okay, let me give you my spill. I am very new to this so please bear with me. My husband and i, for the first time in our lives, aren't exactly doing very good at not trying to get pregnant. That's fine with me. I want a child. Well, about two and a half weeks ago, I started having problems with nausea. This was about two weeks before my period was supposed to start. About a week or week and a half later. My boob got extremely sore. I also had some bad cramp-like feelings, somtimes around my ovaries. I just feel different. I have still been getting nauseous, along with hot flashes and being tired. I am peeing a little more often. Well, right now my period is four days late, which has never happened to me. I have taken two tests-one saturday afternoon and one sunday morning. They both came up negative. If my period doesn't start, when do you guys suggest that I try taking another one, or should I just go get a blood test? You guys have to know a little more. Like I said, very new to this.
I would appreciate any comments.

First off, i'm afraid you wouldn't experience nausea 2 weeks before your period is due as this is around the time you would ovulate and concieve. The sore boobs may just be pmt signs.

However, now that you are late for your period there is a chance you could be pregnant.

You may not have enough hcg in your urine yet to be detected or you just may be late for other reasons.

I would take a test again in a few days if your period still doesn't turn up and if it is still negative you could go to your doctor and request a blood test as these are more accurate.

Good luck!

I wouldn't have thought the nausea counted either, but I talked to my mom and she said that's when she started getting with all three of us. That's why I included that in there. I know it sounds weird. I feel so stupid. I am a nursing student and I know the facts, but I also know that my body is just weird sometimes.

Yeah I would wait and do another test in a few days and see what happens.
All the best. Smile

U wouldnt have any symptoms this early...I think its all in ur head. Maybe you're just stressed and thats whats made u miss your period. Just wait it out, im sure your period will come.

The answer to you will be the same as the answer to every single other post on this topic.

A first response test can be taken upto 4 days before your period is due - most others will be from the day you are due.
The box for your specific test will give you the details of how soon you can take it.

Also you can not have pregnancy symptoms until you are pregnant.
2 weeks before your period you are likely to be ovulating - pregnancy occurs about 10 days after ovulation (when conception and implantation have occured) - before this you are not pregnant and do not make the hcg hormone and therefore can not have pregnancy symptoms.

You can have pregnancy symptoms and not be pregnant. That happens when you really want to be pregnant and when your tring to get pregnant. Alot of the pregnancy symptoms are pms symptoms too. Just wait till you miss your period or take the hpt test 3days before the day your period is due. Good luck!!

Got to agree the nausea 2 weeks prior is not due to pregnancy.....And many women dont show a postive early on. Take another test in a few days !

Just thought I would let you guys know, I took an htp and I am definitely pregnant. I guess it just took a few extra days for the hormone to show up. My period was already four days late. I am so ecstatic though. Thanks for all your comments though.
