4 days late...pregnant?

Hi,


I was supposed to get my period on May 1st, and today (May 5th), it's still not here. I don't even feel like I'm going to get it: no cramps, no bloating, no headaches, no sore breasts. All those symptoms usually precede my period, not always, but usually. I don't have any of those. What I DO have is constipation. But this isn't all that alarming, since I've been plagued by on-and-off constipation for years now. It'll come suddenly and leave just as suddenly. I guess I'm just nervous and attributing the late period and constipation to my being pregnant.


Also, I think it may be important to note that the only time my periods have EVER come on time was when I was on the birth control pill. After being on the pill for about 1 year, I stopped taking it around January of this year (2008), because it was wreaking serious havoc with my emotions. The last time I had my period was last month, and even that came I think 1 or 2 days late. That leads me to believe that my body is just reverting back to normal (pre-pill). It took a couple months for the pill-induced hormones to wear off, and now my body's (hormonally) back to how it was pre-pill.


Furthermore, I don't have any of the symptoms of pregnancy, except possibly constipation. I'm not more tired than usual, no nausea, no weight gain, no frequent urination, no sore breasts, etc.


I'm thinking of taking a pregnancy test if I don't get my period within a couple days. What do you all think? Your advice/suggestions would be much appreciated.


Thank you in advance for your time.

Hi!! I was in your same boat just a couple of days ago. I ended up taking 2 preg tests and now made an appt with an ob/gyn. It's looking good!
