My period is 8 days late. I took an ept
test 6 days past my missed period, and it
said negative. But it seems like the
symptoms are getting stronger.
Fatigue(i've been oversleeping lately. I
usually get up around 10:30am, and i've
been waking up around 1pm!!), nausea(i had
to leave work today because I felt sick to
my stomach, like I was going to throw
up.), light cramping(i've never had cramps
before even on my period), and heartburn.
When should I take another test? And is
it better to take on in the morning?
Please respond to my email if you can.
Thanks for your help!

You could very well be pregnant, but
perhaps your body is not producing enough
of the pregnancy hormone for it to be
detected in a test yet.
It is better to take the test in the
morning as that is usually when the
hormones are at their highest level.
At this stage, you can request a blood
test from your doctor, which are more
reliable than a urine test.

My sister didn't find out she was pregnant
until she was 3 months.She went to the
doctors over and over again but the test
kept coming out negative and then finally
it was positive, but all that time she
knew she was because she was having
morning sickness.It's weird.

Hopefully I find out wether i'm pregnant
or not sooner than 3 months! I wouldn't
be able to take the suspense!
