Am I Pregnant?
11
Tue, 05-01-2007 - 12:41pm
I am 23 years old and already mother of a 5 year old lil princess. My fiancé and I have been trying to conceive for the past 9 months and have had no luck. As of 2 weeks ago I have been feeling sleepy, little tingly feelings in my lower abdomen, sore breasts, and using the bathroom more than usual. My period usually lasts from 6-8 days. Last month it lasted 4-5 days at most. Could I be pregnant? It seems funny for a person to ask this question since they already have been pregnant, but with my first pregnancy I had no symptoms but just a “feeling” or an “intuition”. I’m not due until the second week of May and I am desperate to find out. HELP!!! lol

Hello,


Unfortunately Pregnancy symptoms and PMS are too similiar to really give a definative answer.

Thanks for replying!

Well I have never had these symptoms before I mean I have never experienced PMS symptoms before. I just "feel" pregnant. Well I'm going to test next week. I sure hope I am.

I took the test about 20 minutes ago and it came back negative. I know I should have waited and now I am depressed. I'm sure since its still early and I havent missed my period yet that there's still a chance of me being pregnant. Not to mention I just realised that the test I took detetcts 50 MIU...Well I thought I'd share.

Hello,


{{{HUGS}}} Dont be discouraged. It is still early and you used a less sensitive test. Wait until next week and try First Response. It is suppose to detect 25 MIU or less.


I hope you get a BFP!!!

THANKS FOR THE SUPPORT!

I have another question, if these symptoms are in fact PMS, do they normally last 2 weeks??? They did start about one week and a half after my period left.

OK thanks again for the info. I peeked over at the trash can, and the test has a faint line. There is a line but really faint...OH god this is so stressful! lol

Hello,


If it is past the time allowed in the directions then it could be an evap. line.
