Does water (H2O) influence a pregnancy test?
Posted: 04-25-07 15:13pm

I think im pregnant and everyone at work and in my family says I am. I have all the symptoms except vominting. I constantly fall asleep at work and I cant seem to make myself stay awake. I think its too early to test but I did anyway but I drank a quart of water and then took the test will the correct results show or am I testing too early? My breasts are constantly hurting as well as my nipples, I can't fit any of my clothes anymore and my shoes seem a bit snug. My stomach has grown a bit in 3 weeks and I dont know what's wrong. We want a baby and have been trying we had intercourse April 7th, 10th, 12th, 19th

The only way, you can find out if you are pregnant or not, is to take a home pregnancy test. Drinking water does not influence the test results. Sleepiness, breast tenderness, a grown stomach, etc. ...could mean nothing at all. If your expected period does not arrive and it is late, this may be a sign of pregnancy and you can buy a home pregnancy test at a local drugstore.
