How Soon Do I Have to Wait to Take a Pregnancy Test?
Posted: 09-11-07 12:14pm

Ok so I had sex about 2 weeks ago during the last days of my monthly cycle.. I'm just wondering If is is still too early to go get a test.. I have really horrible migrane headaches so I don't know if that's the "morning sickness" or my migranes.. Any advice would be really helpful. My friends have told me about the "baby dreams" and I've had them but I don't know if my mind is playing tricks on me since I'm thinking about this 24/7.. Any help!? Smile

Wait until your period is due and/or late before taking a test. To get the best results, use your first morning urine.

The headaches are from pms. Migraine headaches can be related to hormone fluctuations in women who are prone to migraines. You can chart this by charting your monthly cycle (when your period starts, ends and when you have your headaches) and you might notice a pattern.

Migraines and/or headaches are not morning sickness. Morning sickness is nausea and puking. Not headaches.

Baby dreams are just dreams. You have them when you are not pregnant just the same as when you are.

If you are not trying to get pregnant, continue using birth control to prevent pregnancy. The last day of your monthly cycle is not a good day to have sex if you want to become pregnant.

Good luck!
