Ok this is my first if I am pregnant so I need all the advice I can get from all of u guys.

I had my period last june 2003 around the 25. they around July I was getting rdy that my period will come but it didnt. so I waited and waited but nothing. Around aug. I'm starting to feel odd about my body. becuase I was feeling tired, breast a little sore but mostly my nipples were a little bit dark and very erect so I tought I'm about to have my period and then I'm feeling a litte sick in the morning and in the evening but not all the time. I also starting to have a little sharp pain in my back around the hip and also a little cramp in my lower abdomen. I do urinate but not a lot. My appetite has increase and most of the time craving for seafood and spicy food like del taco. sometimes nipples skin would be dark and sometimes it not but it very senative when I touch it. I'm also hot most of the time and been taking cold showers. sometimes little things makes me annoyed or sometimes I'm jst happy for no reason or jst annoyed for no reason. I'm also feeling a little bloated, dizzy, and sometimes my leg hurts. I havent bought any HPT ( home pregnancy test ) cuz I knw they dont usally work.

What should I do? wait for until this month is over and observe if I dont get my period? I dont wanna for a blood test cuz I have a phobia of needles. what should I do?

PLZ. ADVICE....

Hello, I would run right out and buy a test, you are definately far enough past due for AF that if you are pregnant it should show up. You have a lot of the symptoms and I don't know how you could be so patient. I would have done like 10 tests by now. Best of luck and be sure to keep us posted.

Home tests do definitely work. It depends on the person who is testing whether or not they are accurate meaning if you test too early, obviously it'll tell you that you aren't but if you test at the right time it will tell you what's really going on. I am now 6wks pregnant and that's with the confirmation of 2 home tests before I went and saw my doctor who was so convinced she didnt even bother with blood work to confirm it, and 2 more home tests just to set my mind at ease which all 4 told me I was.

Tests may give you a false negative but it is extremely rare to get a false positive!

Good luck

lets say that I might be or possiblity that I am pregnant. Is it also natural that sometimes I have the symptoms and sometimes dont? because sometimes I dont feel sick in the morning then in the afternoon I feel sick or slighty had/have a headache. But most of the time I'm feeling really tired.


Sometimes My breasts are sore and sometimes they not. Sometimes my nipple skin are dark and sometimes they not really dark.
