Could I Be Pregnant? - Tampa,FL

Hey,

I looked only for early signs of pregnancy but most of them are the common nausea, dizziness, vomiting, and of course, no period or spotting. Thing is, for my first pregnancy, I didn't have ANY of those symptoms which is why I was very surprised when I found out I was. I actually puked the day that I found out but it was because I was very nervous, other than that I never puked. Even so, when I went to get my C-section done, I didn't have any contractions whatsoever. It was very weird but a great pregnancy I might say.

I've recently encountered that I'm currently 3 days late as of today and I've been getting headaches. Not everyday and not very strong but I've been getting them. On my days off I tend to take naps which I don't like to take normally. When I do, I wake up with nightmares and off dreams. I do crave a lot of foods but nothing out of the ordinary. I'm skinny but I love to eat so I don't know if it's just me or that I might actually be pregnant. For the last few days I've been cramping but it comes and goes. Normally the cramping is in the morning but then as the day progresses it goes away. I don't have spotting yet either. My face has been breaking out which I can say only happened with my first pregnancy. My period last month was very crazy. I was going through a stressful time and I had it TWICE last month so I don't know if it's just stabilizing or what. I'm confused as to what to think because like I mentioned before, my first pregnancy gave me no symptoms and I was pregnant. I did take a pregnancy test yesterday but it came up negative. It wasn't a brand name so I don't know if it affects the results and also I didn't leave it for 20 seconds in the cup like indicated in the instructions. I need some help really because it's an odd situation and I just want to know what could be happening to my body. Any suggestions???

What can I do next?

If you had unprotected sex... then YES you could be pregnant.

Go to your Dr. and get a blood test. If you are not pregnant and you do not want to be pregnant, I suggest a better form of birth control.

Sounds like you really want to be pregnant and are grasping at straws. There's nothing odd about your situation/symptoms at all. Just wait another week or so and take a test. Doesn't matter if your period has always been like clockwork, the female body is a wonderfully chaotic machine that can never be counted on to be perfectly predictable.
ETA: why didn't you follow the instructions on the test?

If you really wanted to know why did you buy an off brand test and ignore the instructions?

ARGH!!!! Why is this question on here so often??????

If you have sex, you could be pregnant. If you have unprotected sex, you have a really good chance of being pregnant. Why didn't you do the test right?

Only a positive pregnancy test or a urine/blood test in the doctor's office can tell you for sure. Mamapedia cannot.

If you' ve had sex, of course, you could be pregnant. Using protection doesn't always work. I've had all the symptoms of pregnancy and never been pregnant.

And.....even when pregnant you have to wait before taking a test and expecting a positive. Also even tho your period is always on time there can be reasons for it to be late totally unrelated to pregnancy.

Wait a week and take another test. An off brand one wil lwork as well as a name brand.

I always wonder when women post this question. We have no extra powers to predict pregnancy. lol

You could take the computer pregnancy test...pee on your computer, and if in approximately 34 more weeks you have a baby you are pregnant.

If you haven't noticed these questions drive all of us crazy...dollar store pregnancy test...or go see your doctor!!!

If you had unprotected sex, of course yes, you could be.

However, you can't determine if you are by symptoms. Get a new test (brand doesn't matter) and follow the instructions.

Call your OB/GYN and ask her to have you come in for a pregnancy blood test. Those are definitive. Then when you're estimated to be 8-to-10 weeks they can check for a heartbeat with ultrasound if the blood test comes out positive.
