When Should I Test Again?
Posted: 09-06-05 14:51pm

Well I have been having preg symptoms for about a week now but I thought maybe it was period. I have done several hpts and they are all negative. My period is three days late. I was having symptoms like my period was going to start but now they have stopped. Now I just feel really tired and my breasts hurt. I have had a lot of discharge but no blood. I was thinking of taking another test but im tired of waisting money on those expensive tests when they come out negative. Can anyone tell me when the next good time to test would be? Should I go ahead and wait and see if I miss my period all togeather?
Thanks

This is just my opinon, but I suggest you d go to your doctor and have them take a blood test. Sometimes it takes a couple of hpt's to show the real results, if not then wait about a week and try the hpt again! :) let me know how it goes..

Thanks for replying so fast. I have an appointment with my doc on thursday. I dont know if they will do a blood test though. Usually if they do one they just do a urine test at my docs. I will ask if they can do the blood test though. The only reason im in a hurry to know is cuz I am on a few medications that I dont think you can take when you are preg and if I am I dont want to hurt the baby. I am starting to wonder though if I am just stressing over wondering about being preg and making my period late. Time will test I guess

If you can do without the med then I would hold off till you know for sure if you are preg or not. That way no harm to the baby or you. And I would also start taking vitamins

I know what you mean but its not a drug that I can just stop all the sudden. It is welbutrin and im on a pretty high dose. If I go off of it suddenly on my own it could be really bad. I can stop the prevacid that I take for acid reflux I think. Then I am on synthroid for low thyroid and im not sure if you can just quit that or not. I guess I can stop my birth control pills though. I have my doc appointment on thursday. Surely I will be ok till then. I keep thinking my period will start anytime but it sure hasnt. My husband doesnt think im preg but I dont know, I sure feel different and no period yet.
