Q: Help! How Do I Know If I Am Pregnant

I have a very consistent cycle and not on birth control. Recently, I just had a period as normal (right on time), normal period. I have also had nausea ever since I have started. My husband an I are very careful- we really aren't ready for a family just yet (we just got married).

Anyway, I also started taking these new vitamins (one a day weightsmart for women) on an empty stomach and that is when the nausea started so typically I would think that was the reason for me feeling this way. Well, yesterday I took them with lunch, did not feel the nausea but was extremely bloated last night into today. I went to buya pregnancy test and the pharmacist told me that it would come up negative until I missed my next period. So now, do I have to wait three more weeks to get accurate results? Help

Hello

yes you do have to wait for our next period date to get an accurate result. Your hormone levels have to high enough for a good reading.. The weight pills your on could be the problem why your not having your period, some of them screw up your body for the first few months so don't get to stressed or this because stress will make you late too so relax and just try not to get to worried over it.. I know it is easier said then done..
Hope this helps

Well, of course you have to wait until your next period (three more weeks) if you're not going to get pregnant for another week!

I thought you were worried that your period was not really a period. If you were already pregnant then, you should show up positive on a pg test now.

A pg test will not show up positive until at least 11 or 12 days after the conception.
