Hey all, I just need a quick answer. I
have been cramping off an don for a week
with no period. I am almost a week late
and I took a hpt but it was neg. That was
a few days ago.
I am still cramping (about 2 time a day)
not to bad pain and I have been realy
gassy (sorry). Is there a possiability I
could be pregnant? (hopefully)
when should I retest?
Thanks!

Umm, cramping could be because of your
period. When did you have unprotected
sex? Test in a week or two is my opinion
good luck
Yes that can be a sign of pregnancy. The
cramping can be your uterus stretching
making room for the baby, I had that
aswell and I am 8 weeks preg!!
You can try retesting in a week if you
like or right away, another option is
going to your doctor and he can do a urine
or blood test to find out, because in some
women the pregnancy hormone just idn't
strong enough to be detected by a home
pregnancy test. Good luck!

Cramping could be a sign of pregnancy but
it could also be your period about to
start.
My husband and I have not used any form of
birth control for about 6 months.
I will try to wait a week and see what
happens. I have read that it is best to
wait at least 10 days after you "miss"
your period to get a more accurate result.
I guess if I have not started int 2 weeks
I will call the Dr. And get a blood test.
Heres for hoping.

Negative.... Posted: 07-28-05 08:43am
Well I took a test this morning.... It
said not pregnant. I am at 35 days now (5
days late) still no period and I started
to get realy bloated 2 days ago.... That
usualy does not happen to me....
I don't know what to think.
The good thing is that I go in for my
yearly on the 19th and if I have not
started by then perhaps they can tell me a
little more about what is going on.

I am going through the exact same thing
right now... I have had cramping, food
tastes like tin foil, nausea, my breasts
were sore( but aren't too bad anymore)
headaches (but those are a normal thing)
and no period. It should have came 3
days ago but nothin yet. I've tested 3
times for pregnancy and all were
negative...Maybe my period is just real
late..What do you girls think? I will
test again in a week if I don't have a
period come. And I have to go to the doc
soon so maybe i'll have him check too.
I'm not too scared but it's just that if
i'm not pregnant why didn't I have my
period...(plus i'm on birth control, and
messed up a little but it was that I
missed a pill and had to take it the next
day is all) I would really love to have a
baby but the timing is a little off with
my hubby and I trying to buy a house and
stuff.

i was sure I was pregnant, because I had
all those symptoms, I took 5 home pregnacy
tests before it came out positive!
Sometime they just don't work.

Wowsers...Were you on birth control? I
think maybe i'm just late. I
dunno....I'm not scared or worried so that
can't be what's making my period
late...But who knows...Birth control can
make a girl have those signs too
it's so weird...My husband and I were just
talking baby and names and stuff and what
our plan should be and different things we
think about being parents and what we want
to make sure we do with the baby that our
parents didn't and make sure we agree on
certain things...We were thinkin like next
year...Not now
anyways would you suggest I wait a week
before I test again?

i wasn't on birth control, never have used
it. My husband & I were not trying,
but not preventing for 4 months. We were
also thinking about the things you were
& thinking a year from now!
I would suggest using the first urine of
the morning. If you have already, I guess
all you can do is wait another few days/a
week, as annoying as it is!

Maybe I am going to start soon.... I
didn't really have sore breasts or any
nausia... Just some reflux this morning
after my coffee. Still having the cramps
but they are and have been very light..
Not as painful as normal. I thought I was
starting ran to the ladies and found it
was just discharge. Still bloated....
Ugh I feel so puffy....
I know I should wait another few days but
I would really love to take my allergy
meds but am a little leery especially
since I have never gone more than 30 days
with out starting.
Should I wait until I am 10 days late (ie
40 days) and re test then or should I try
this weekend?

Okay mirth...Here's what happened this
morning....
I took my 4th test...I always take it
right away in the morning b/c I haven't
eaten or drank anything yet...
Anywho...All my tests were neg before...
There are two boxes...One a square, one a
circle.
If both have lines, i'm pregnant, if only
one (the square) has a line i'm not.
So okay, then I take the test and both
have a line...But the one in the circle
dissappears after a minute...So I dunno I
don't think the test is sure either...Lol
i will test again tomorrow morning
too...What do you think is goin on here

It may be a chemical pregnancy.... I have
also heard that if the line dissapears
before the time is up it is still
negative.

Birth control tests detect the hormones in
your body when your pregnant. Some
people dont have a high enough level of
hormones to show up on a pregnancy test.
My first pregnancy was in february... I
tested a week before my period, it came
out negative, but when I tested 5 days
after my period, it came up positive and
the doctor confirmed that I was already 5
weeks.
This time around, I am 2 days late. My
period is very regular and I do not cramp
unless I am about to start bleeding any
second or I am in the process of bleeding.
I have been cramping for the past 3
days, not my normal period cramping..
But, all my tests have come up negative so
far. I plan my next test on monday =o)
either just keep testing, or wait for your
doctor appointment! =o)

Well I have an appointment on the 19th
which is less than a month away... I will
probably re-test some where in the middle
and see if I show anything... I just hope
that there is nothing wrong with me....

Started having a brownish discharge today
and now it is turing a bright red so I am
under the great assumption that I am not
preg. However dissapointing there is
always later. I did just in the last week
get a new job offer and turned in my
resignation to the company I have been
working with for the last 2 years. So I
am hoping that was the "stress" that could
have delayed my cycle for over a week.
But realy I think I had a chemical
pregnancy and nature took its course.
Thank you all for your help and support

Preggers? Posted: 07-31-05 00:48am
Hi - I think I may be preggers, but am not
yet sure, and I might want to wait for a
little longer until I buy an expensive
test. Hubby and I went to mexico from
july 5th - 10th, which was peak fertility
time of the month for me, and we have had
unprotected sex during that time < we
are trying to get preggers > after we
got back from mexico...About 4 or 5 days
later, I was bleeding some , only one time
tho..And only for an instant, like one
wipe, that was it. Very wierd, thats when
I started thinking ...Oh wow maybe -
implamentation bleeding! :) I usually
have my period around the 23rd of each
month, but I still dont have it and it's
already july 31st! I have slight cramps,
on and off......My breasts are tender and
I have insomnia < last night I hardly
got to sleep at all> the only thing
that is kinda keeping me from thinking i'm
really preggy is the cramps, they feel a
lot like i'm about to have my period, but
yet, nothing! Wierd.
I have also been feeling a little queesy,
on and off. And have been tired.Could I
be preggers ? :) i'm 34, and that makes
me think, it might not be that easy to get
preggers for me, given my age......If I am
, it would have only taken 2 month of
trying :) ttfn sabina
