Q: wondering if I'm pregnant
asked by: Nikcorra on November 19th, 2008

Well...I dont know where to start...I thought i was pregnant a few weeks ago, because of a few signs ive been having, but the test came back negitive. Now, my nipples have been sore for about a week almost two, and my boobs have gotten bigger, and I have gained a little bit of weight. My b/f and I are trying for a baby, but the thing is, I haven't missed a period. If anything, its been early, not late. I'm not on birth control, i got off of it in july. And, the last few mornings, if I dont eat right away, I get these really bad hunger pains, and start feeling nauseated if I dont eat right away. A couple times I almost get sick, to the piont of pukeing. Like right now, I'm hungry, I havent had lunch yet, my stomach is hurting like crazy, and I feel a like sick to my stomach...so, if anyone has any insight, please help me!. Should I take a preg. test even though I've had my period?.

The most reliable pregnancy symptom is a missed period. Other symptoms occur for a variety of reasons - and simply thinking you may be pregnant will make you feel them.

If you've had your period, that's a pretty clear indication that you're not pregnant. The negative test further indicates this. If your hormones were ample enough to cause so many different symptoms, they'd be ample enough to stop your period - and trigger a positive pregnancy test.

If this is bothering you, you can test again. But it really doesn't sound like you're pregnant.

Some people do continue having periods when they are pregnant. If you strongly feel your having pregnancy symptoms take another test, if it comes back negative maybe you should consider seeing your doctor and having a blood test, as sometimes some people dont show in a home pregnancy test.
