Waiting....
Posted: 11-28-06 14:45pm

Hi everyone. I am currently taking desogen, and have been for the past few years. Last month I got my period, but it was lighter and ended sooner than it usually does. Since then, I have been feeling very weird, to say the least. Hot flashes, nausea, dizziness, and cramps. The other day I felt like I was going to vomit on the subway. I am taking the green pills now since sunday, and I usually get my period on tuesday (today). I've been wearing a panty liner since monday, and still nothing. I've been cramping as if my period was coming since sunday night, and it's not letting up even now. How long can/should I wait to take a pregnancy test? How many days should I continue waiting for my period before I test? I'm never late, and I always have it by tuesday afternoon at the latest. Now it's nearly 3:00 and there's not even a drop of blood.
Thanks!

If you're supposed to start your period today, then you can probably test right now! You'll get a more accurate result if you do it first thing tomorrow morning, or if you don't pee for 4 or 5 hours this afternoon before testing! Good luck!

Ahhhh!!! That's so early!! I thought I would have to wait until friday to make sure my period wasn't just a little late...But I think i'll do it tomorrow morning like you said with my fresh pee!

Thanks for the help!

I got my period last night...No need for a test!! I'm relieved and sad at the same time...I know my boyfriend and I aren't ready for a baby; I want to finish grad school first and we want to be married. But it was nice to think of a little baby coming Confused

It's just weird the way i've been feeling though....My period has been changing, yet there's no explanation for it!

Thank you for your help!
