how long should i wait before going to the doctor to see if you are preg. or if there is something wrong? i'm late, have had two negative results (HPT) but i have all sorts of abdominal cramping...one kind where it feels like someone grabbed my uterus and tried to rip it out through my side. i've been having dizzy spells, and naseua for about 3 weeks. constant headaches and fatigue (although sometimes i've had too much energy). also i've gained 8 pounds in a month. that type of weight gain is not typical for me. not to mention gas, bloating, diarria, etc.... a co-worker suggested that i be checked for PID. i just had a pap smear and exame a month or two ago and nothing came up then....should i be worried?

First tell us some more?

How late are you - how long are your typical cycles - what days did you test?

Then we might be able to help you sort through this.

i'm only three days late, my cycles are regular, at 28 days. i tested the first time on friday morning, which is when i would have started my period (becasue i couldn't wait lol) with the first response test. then i tested again on sunday, because i was late for sure. (and again, impatient). i've had two previous pregnancies (none successful) and the symptoms i have now, i had then...plus i had them went i went on birth control. i know i should wait another week before retesting (according to some articles on the site), but the mention of PID really scared me.....

i think i need to add that i've noticed (just a little while ago) some faint blood, its real light and real bright in color. but now theres nothing. i'm not sure what that means...maybe its my period, or could it be implantation? i estimated my ovulation to have occured around the 13th of september.....isn't that a long time to implant in the uterus?

angel btw, thanks for all the help =)
