Well, my husband and I aren't really trying or not trying. I am 19, kinda nervous. We do want to have children, but I never really know when i am ovalting or not. But I last had my period in mid september. If i figured it right tho, i was suppose to OV around 9/26 and my husband and i did have sex around that time. so I am confused.

I am very icky feeling, Got nausouea, very tired (im sleeping all the time, i swear) my breasts are not that tender, but i am very sick to my stomach and have had some unexplained vomiting. I have had headaches (that go away before bed, so a different one daily) for the past 7-10 days i would say.

and it seems that i have a lot of the signs from what I read, but i am VERY neavous and not sure what to do.

I know it can be a really be confusing because your body can play tricks on you. Let alone a lot of the symptoms mock pms. Have you tested at all yet? The Dollar Tree has tests and they are pretty reliable. Some women have got a positive as early as 9DPO. Plus you can get them for a dollar and test all you want.

well if I were you I would go ahead and try taking an at home pregnancy test. If it comes back negative, wait 4 or 5 days, and try again. The test should be able to detect a positive pregnancy by the 2nd or 3rd day of a missed period.. Or, if your periods are not regular, then try counting 3 weeks from the end of your last period. Of course, with irregular periods it can be hard to tell because you never know how early or late you ovulated. It's a waiting game, and I know it's hard! If you absolutely can't wait anymore, you can ask your doctor about have a blood test for pregnancy, which can tell much sooner.
