Anxious...

Okay, so I'm 2 weeks late and we've been trying for over 2 years now. I'm so anxious to find out whether or not I'm pregnant, but I don't want get myself all worked up for nothing, so I'm preparing myself for the worst. I'm just curious, or I need another female advice if I should take a test or not. Should I wait it out? Tomorrow is the last day of the month, should I wait to see I get my period tomorrow or not? I've been having mild cramping in my lower abdomen and at times my cheeks look a little flushed, but that's it. Just in a need of some refreshing words. Please, any advice would be very much appreciated!

If you are usually not late with your periods, I would go ahaed and test. I was recently reading a website that gave good information on store pegnancy tests and how much hCG you have to have in your urine before the test will actually pick it up. So if you decide to get a test, take a peek at this chart. It may help. Good Luck!

I'm two weeks late, I was suppose to get my period on the 11th and it's way over due. The last day of the month is tomorrow is what I meant. I'm not sure if i should just wait it out till tomorrow to take a test or just take one anyway.

Hey Everyone! I took a test on the 30th and it came out negative. And guess what? I still haven't got AF! Strange, I'm open to anything... Let me know what you think!?
