Well, hubby and I have not been trying to have a baby, but now I'm not sure what is going on...

Here's the lowdown.

Had period starting on Feb 12, lasted 7 days (I'm very much on the mark for about a year now).

Symptoms are as follows: fatigue, nausea and vomiting, almost every day after I eat or before breakfast. Little sleep. Hot flashes...I mean..HOT when its cold out. Lower abdominal pain that started a few days ago. No period or signs of it. No breast tenderness. I'm a dieting freak, so I watch what I eat, but my clothes don't fit me any more around the waist...its gotten hard these last few wks to zip pants up. I do have heartburn and I can't eat ANYTHING.

I've taken hpt, about 4 times already, with the ones from dollar store and also one like clear blue and ept..all negative (it could still be too early). My period is about 6 days late now. How long should I wait? Should I just go to the doctor and get a blood test? I'm just afraid that if I'm pregnant, I want to be eating the right foods and doing prenatal vitamins and all.

I pray that I am pregnant! I look forward to motherhood :)

Thanks for your time!

If you're six days late a hpt should be showing a + if you're pregnant. I'd give it another week and test again (just in case). In the meantime, it wouldn't hurt to be taking an OTC prenatal or a multi with iron and folic acid.


Good luck!
