Q: Am I Beginning to Freak Out Over Nothing?

Okay, I only started to think I might be pregnant in the past week.. And now my period is late, which is never the case, unless i'm hiiiiiighly stressed out, which i'm not.

I'm going to be 23 in january so it's not a huge dilemma, I had blood taken today for a blood pregnancy test, and only now am I starting to get nervous. So, if after I list my symptoms if someone, anyone, could give me feedback on what they think of this, I would greatly, greatly, appreciate it.

Here they are:

i had a cramp almost 2wks ago.. But it was too early for this months ovulation, and there wasn't any of the ovulation cm, so it may have been implantation?

I started with the nausea sunday or monday of last week, also last week I had to warm up a horse real quick and I was sore in my lower abdomen, but it wasn't muscle sore it felt weird. I've been riding for 12 years so I know the difference between normal sore, and odd.. And this just felt odd. Anyways..

My breasts have gotten almost a cup size larger, I have lower back pain, I just feel kind of full/tight in my lower abdomen..And for some reason I just feel like "i know" that I am.. Is that weird?

I don't know. I didn't take an over the counter test because, I don't know, I just would rather find out from a doctor than alone by myself in the bathroom.

And waiting for the results is already kind of making me nutty. Confused

All of these little things just clicked together in my mind completely a few days ago.. I just feel like an emotional mess right now. :-\

How could you be pregnant if you didn't have an ovulation?

"but it was too early for this months ovulation, and there wasn't any of the ovulation cm, so it may have been implantation?"

it does sound like you are stressing over this.

If you had sex without protection, then, yes, you could be pregnant.

When will your results come back? Unless you take a hpt, you'll have to wait until then.

I think I possibly ovulated a week early.. My boyfriend is in the military, out of state, and when I was driving up to see him I had what felt like an ovulation cramp, but I didn't think anything of it. The 2nd cramp came 5 days after I left, 6 days since we last had sex. I really hadn't been stressing until today.


We used a condom, but i'm not on birth control, I get bad side effects from it.


They said they might get the results back by friday.

Good luck. Will they just call you?

How late are you?

They told me to call.. Which is always a pain, since getting my doctor's office to get back to you (even just with normal blood work) is like pulling teeth, i'll probably have to end up going there in person and demanding my results.

I should have gotten it saturday, so that's what.. 4, or 5 days today? And it just doesn't feel like it's going to come.. I've had past scares, the times I was really stressed out (because of the head trauma I had at the time, and my ex boyfriend) , but those times it always felt like it was going to come every time I went to the bathroom.

The only reason I haven't done an hpt was because I didn't want to find out while I was by myself, I really am not looking forward to finding out over the phone either.. I wish they would just point at me and be like "yes, you're pregnant" or "no, you're not pregnant" :-\

Well, I guess I feel differently about that. I'd rather find out myself than have a total stranger (doctor or nurse) tell me. Let alone tell me over the phone nonchalantly because that is what they do every day.

Besides, won't you be 'alone' when you find out from the nurse? An hpt would tell you right now. Wink
