Ok here's the background: DF and I have been together for 6 years, we are engaged to be married in October. He just changed jobs and is trying to get his old job back but isn't having much luck (he hates the one he's at and contemplating quitting). I am on Weight Watchers and losing weight and exercising. We almost always use protection and if we don't (very rarely!) he will pull out. Ok now I'm almost 2 weeks late, which hardly ever happens. We had unprotected sex once last month when he pulled out. It was on the 18th, well I charted myself and it looks like I would have ovulated on the 19th, my last period started on 5-5. I took 4 pg tests last week (around Wednesday) and all turned out negative. I don't know what to do, I know there is a slim chance that I could be pg, but is it stress, weight loss related? Should I take another test, or should I wait it out? I don't really want to be pg but if it happens we'll deal with it, it just couldn't be a worse time! Thanks for listening, also DF knows that I took them last week but I don't know if I should tell him I might need to take another.
Also I've been pregnant in the past and I lost it, and the baby would have been due today. So it's a little bittersweet to be thinking about carrying another baby. Also last time I knew I was pg, tender breast, missed periods, constant urination, I was "glowing" and I couldn't hide it. The only thing is I don't have breast tenderness (but I've lost a cup size due to the weight loss) I also drink at least 80 oz of water everyday so frequent urination is common. The thing is a lot of people have been talking about us being pregnant without us commenting on it. In fact my mom asked me yesterday on the phone, could it be mother's intuition, because I haven't seen her in a few weeks.
What should I do? Should I stop and get a test on my way home? Or should I wait until this weekend and maybe get my period? Or should I just chalk it up to stress and see if maybe I just skipped a period? If I get a test tonight should I take it when I get home or should I wait until the morning? I have so many questions I know! Thanks, I think I'll be done for now!


Hi,
I dont have most of the info u wanted but.... i think u should take another test. But whats weird to me is that every time i took the test at home, it always turned out neg.(wrong), but if i went to the clinic it would be pos. (right). I think if u turn out neg. again and havent had ur period yet, i would go to a pg center/clinic.
Also my mom had the 'intuition' too...
Sorry for ur loss, I had an abortion last july becuz she had downsyndrom and a heart defect :( But good news is im due june 27th with a healthy lil girl again :)
Good luck
