Pregnancy Help
Posted: 10-26-03 23:13pm

Please help!!!
On sept 24 I got my period my boyfriend and I had sex everyday after that for 11 days until oct 5, my periods are never regualar which means I don't think I ovulate regularly either. I haven't really had to many symptoms of pregnancy other then headaches, eating a lot without getting full, a little bloated, I had a little cramping yesterday (i actually thought I was going to get my period over night or sometime today), my breast have been a little sore only on the nipples and the edge of them. I really don't want to go to the doctor yet or get a home pregnancy test. Until I know for sure that it's even possible that I could be pregnant. Can someone please help me and let me know what they think and some other things I can look for to know if I could be. I'm only 18. When do you think that it would be time that I finally get a pregnancy test. When is it that my period would be late enough to test.
Please help!!!!

Hi klc,

as long as you have unprotected sex, there is always a chance you could fall pregnant. Women usually ovulate 14 days before their next period is due, keeping in mind that everyone is different and it is possible to ovulate at different times. As for symptoms in early pregnancy, once again everyone is different, some women don't have any symptoms up until 3 months into their pregnancy. If you were to experience early symptoms, the most common ones to watch out for are tiredness, nausea, sore or tender breasts, sensitive nipples and frequent urination. It is possible to get an accurate result on a home pregnancy test once your next period is due, some tests will state on the box that it is sensitive enough to detect hcg levels a few days before your period is due. Alternatively you could go to your doctor and request a blood test for a more accurate result. Have you considered birth control or some other form of contraception ? I'm sure your doctor would be happy to discuss some different forms of birth control that would suit your needs.

Good luck...


Suzy

I've also been having abdominal pain, well not pain it feels sort of like i've just worked out on my abs the day before like 100 crunches or something. I don't want to get a pregnancy test because i'm worried the results are going to be negative. I was actually wondering how long stress can hold off a period for, and some of the uncommon symptoms of pregnancy.
Thanks
please reply soon!!!!!!

I had all the same symptoms you do my nipples were a little sore, things like that nothing too dramatic, and I was pregnant. I also am very irregular never know when my period is and I didn't think I was even ovualting, but I guess I was wrong I would take a test at least you will know for sure.
Good luck!!

Thank you for you reply, I am a little scared to take a test right now just becuase i'm worried it wont say what I want it to and I know that, i'm either pregnant or i'm not but I would rather find out i'm not by getting my period rather then seeing negative on a test, althought if my period doesn't come by the end of next month I will take a test.
