Am I?

Hi, I'm 20 years old. My fiancé and I think I might be pregnant. It be our first child so I don't know the signs. My period is supposed to come wednesday and I don't feel like I normally do when it comes. I have regular periods that come every month like clock-work.

I've felt very tired all week even though i've got my normal amount of sleep. My breasts have been more sensitive than normal and my moods have been crazy. I hardly ever cry, but twice in the last week I broke down and cried for hardly any reason. I've felt bloated and have gas alot and i've been having to use the restroom a lot more than normal. Also certain smells are annoying me that normally wouldn't.

Today I took a pregnancy test, at first I thought it was negative, but when I looked at it closer there was a very faint second line on the tester. Also today my breasts started to hurt and my nipples went from being a light pink color to a tan color. I guess that means i'm pregnant. I'm going to go to the doctor later in the week.

What does anyone think? Am I pregnant? My last period started Oct. 16th.

Jenny

Jenny,

I feel the same way too, my last period started on the 9th of October and was expected to come again on the 3rd of Nov. but up till now it hasn't and i've been feeling so week, sore nipples, lose of appitite and heart burn. I decided to have a urine test today but it came out negative. What on earth could be wrong with me because i've never missed my period.

Jenny please share your responses with me since we seem to be in the same shoes now. Thanks for your response. My email address is ritachim@yahoo.com

Hello, Congratulations...you have all the signs and the faint line means that you do have hCG in your urine but not high enough to have a bright enough color line. (hCG is Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) which only shows when you are pregnant.

Don't forget to start taking folic acid right away. Take care...any questions feel free to e-mail me anytime...

Hi jenny,

I'm in the same boat as you at the moment. My period was due on fri or Sat and still no sign. i done a hpt this morning and it was neg. However I feel different than every other month. I'm staying calm and trying not to stress myself out as I know that can delay a period. Today is the only day I've felt a little queasy and the last few days i've had gas and using the loo frequently. don't know what to do next, whether to take another test tomorrow morning , go to my doctor or wait a few days b4 i take another test and see if af shows up.

Well I've heard that sometimes there is too low of levels of pregnancy hormone in a woman for the testor to tell if she is pregnant. Good luck and maybe you should see your doctor too.
