Hello Ladies,

I wasn't trying to get pregnant, I'm 34 and up until a now I was pretty certain I didn't want any kids.

Now, well I think I'm pregnant!

No! I'm sure I'm pregnant, my whole body screams pregnant! I've always been blessed with very mild PMS. Usually I get about 4 hours of discomfort on the day I start my period. I'm 2 days passed the beginning of my period (I've never missed one!) My breasts are swollen, and I don't just mean sensitive, I mean bigger!! There a permanent discomfort in my lower belly that just won't seem to go away. My digestive system is completely out of sync. My bowels don't seem to work as well as they usually do. I burp!!! Everything I eat makes me burp!! Me who could eat the spiciest food without flinching! Oh God, I'm gonna cry!! What is the best home pregnancy test out there?

If I were you I would get an answer early quick and simple test. They are very good and very easy to read. Here's a pic of mine when I found out I was pregnant...

Sorry. It's kinda yellow because it's a little old but it is reliable because here is me now...

I used First Response and had a positive test 4 days before I missed my period. I would say that since you are 2 days late most tests are going to work for you....if you are pregnant (and those symptoms sound like you might be).

Thank you!

I really wasn't sure if any test would be sensitive enough to pick it up this early. I will try the First Response. I'll keep you guys posted. Thanks again.

Hello Ladies,

First Response worked like a charm. I am pregnant, not a doubt! Guess I'll just have to decide what I'll do about it now. Thanks to all for your answers/advice and taking the time to answer my post.
