Family Forum / Pregnancy / Pregnancy / October 2005pregnant?
Hi, I am wondering could I be pregnant...I have a 26/27-day cycle and am absolutely always regular...I was supposed to start on the 24th, 25th the latest, but nothing until today. I am having no cramps (extremely unusual for me) and also the bleeding is much lighter and sort of watery. Usually I bleed heavily for the first 2/3 days and have such strong cramps I can barely function. i did a urine test yesterday and it was negative (didn't use the first morning urine). As for the other symptoms, I am extremely exhausted and can't seem to get enough sleep, was slightly nauseated a week ago and have food problems (oscillations in appetite, stomach reactions to some food, etc)Also, I have a "feeling" I might be pregnant..am I just imagining it or has anybody had similar symptoms?I am not planning a child now, but the idea has sort of grown on me in the last couple of days...advice, please, anybody? I'd go to the dr....sometimes home preg tests are not accurate....check it out though to make sure and get some proper pre-natal care for yourself and the baby! :) > Hi, > I am wondering could I be pregnant...I have a 26/27-day cycle and am [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > watery.

Cycles can vary for a number of different reasons, including stress, overwork, illness etc. Barring the use of contraceptives to regulate your cycle, there can be normal variations in a "regular" cycle. > i did a urine test yesterday and it was negative (didn't use the first morning urine).

If you have been sexually active in the past month without contraceptive use, it is entirely possible that you are pregnant. Your symptoms certainly suggest so, but barring a positive HPT, nothing is certain. I would suggest repeating the home pregnancy test in 4 or 5 days. You will most probably get a conclusive result then. Either way, good luck. PK. Dont put all your trust in home preg tests. I did, got a negative responce and found out 3 wks later I was preg....a blood test from the dr/lab will clear your mind 100% and give you a definate answer. > Dont put all your trust in home preg tests.

Yes, but what doctors give blood tests? Mine wouldn't until I was over a month late. : Hi, : I am wondering could I be pregnant...I have a 26/27-day cycle and am [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] : sort of grown on me in the last couple of days...advice, please, : anybody? Wait 45 days and take another HPT. Also, the most frequent early pregnancy signs are having to pee frequently and sore boobs.

I thought that was what you meant, but I couldn't let it go ;-) SignatureAmy Mum to Carlos born sleeping 20/11/02, & Ana born screaming 30/06/04 http://www.freewebs.com/carlos2002/ http://www.babiesonline.com/babies/a/ana%5Fj%5F2004/ My blog: http://spaces.msn.com/members/querer-hijo-querer-hija/ Two people in this thread has suggested that HPTs are not as reliable as tests at the doc's office. I think it depends on teh test, adn some are. Also, since the HGC levels rise rapidly during early pregnancy, waiting a few days can make all the difference, just as accurate as the docs and a lot cheaper, IMO. Maybe someone can post the most accurate test brands. Larry > Two people in this thread has suggested that HPTs are not as > reliable as tests at the doc's office.

Here's a list of brand sensitivities. http://www.fertilityplus.org/faq/hpt.html I think the OP should repeat the test with first morning urine. Dilution can make a big difference. Amy > Two people in this thread has suggested that HPTs are not as > reliable as tests at the doc's office. I think it depends on [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Larry I guess I agree with this. I used a EPT that was good for up to 4 days before missed period, and sure enough, 4 days before my period was supposed to start, I got a positive test. hm...last night I woke up with cramps and I' m bleeding more heavily, but still I have the feeling that it's not my normal period...my best friend had a completely normal period and when her ob/gyn did the test, it turned out she was over two months pg, so her last period was a fake...as for the other symptoms, my boobs are not sore, just a bit fuller, and I am running to the bathroom more often..I'm not on the pill and have had potentially risky sex twice last month with my boyfriend..maybe I'm just imagining things, but do have this gut feeling that I am pg..I think I would actually be happy if I was... > Hi, > I am wondering could I be pregnant...I have a 26/27-day cycle and am [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > sort of grown on me in the last couple of days...advice, please, > anybody? Well, your bleeding is too early to be implantation bleeding, but you never know. You might be pregnant. Still, hormone fluctuations can cause all sorts of weird symptoms, including all that you are describing. I wouldn't worry. > Hi, > I am wondering could I be pregnant...I have a 26/27-day cycle and am [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > sort of grown on me in the last couple of days...advice, please, > anybody? From what you've said here and in your later post, you probably aren't pregnant, but wait and see if you get a proper period and if not, if you have other symptoms of pregnancy, and test again. If you take a test too early it can come back negative, for a number of reasons - not necessarily that the test is innaccurate, it could be that you ovulated later than you thought. I wish I could say that feeling pregnant was a good indicator of pregnancy, but I can't count how many cycles I've felt very much pregnant only to get AF.
