Am I Pregnant???
I just had my daughter 5 months ago. I have had three periods since then. My period came on time the second time, and last month it came a week early. I was due to start my period on Fed. 10th. Before I even knew I was late, I felt a little pregnant, but I just thought maybe my period was going to start soon, so I checked the calendar and sure enough I was already two days late. So I took a pregnancy test, it was negative. Then two days later I took another one, still negative. I’ve been nauseated here and there, and my boobs are tender and I’ve been so exhausted. My last pregnancy, the test was obviously positive the first time I took the test, but I was also a couple weeks late. Does this sound familiar to anyone that ended up being pregnant? Or am I totally off the wall, and I’ll get my period soon. I don’t want to rush to the doctors for nothing, just cause I’m over reacting. Any advice would be helpful, thank you.
So What Happened?™
Well I started my period, one week late. I was disappointed, because I had gotten my hopes up. But it is probably for the best since I already had plans to return to my nursing career, and am going for an interview tomorrow on 19th. I had told my husband that I would continue to stay at home and put my career on hold if I ended up being pregnant. We were not trying to get pregnant; as we just had our first beautiful baby girl (unplanned) 5 months ago. I would like to thank everyone for their advice. But it just wasn’t my time to be prego again :)

Don't get yourself too worried about it. Your mind can make your body act like you are pregnant.

Are you breastfeeding? I often had pregnancy symptoms (with no pregnancy) while breastfeeding. Your best bet is to wait a week, or two. Multiple testing will only make you crazy! Good luck, in the direction that you want it.

I'm with Anna....get some blood work done. No need to put yourself through this not knowing. Every one of my pregnancies was different with regard to how it is I felt AND I had a few times when I was wrong. The bottom line is, you won't know for sure till you have some blood work.
Good luck!

totally possible.
can you wait another week without being consumed by the thought? if so, then wait - do another test.
good luck!

It does not hurt to go have the blood test taken. matter of fact you can most likely walk in to a lab annex and ask for one they will ask the name of your OB or family doctor to submit your results to. it is that simple.
Good Luck

You are not over reacting. You should see a doctor to find out if you are pregnant or are having a problem that needs treatment. Don't wait.
