1st Trimester

Am I pregnant?

Hello ladies! I am SLIGHTLY freaking out. I am married but my husband nor I are ready for a kid. However, my period is now 5 days late and today....I vomited. I have felt nauseated all day yesterday and all day today but not enough to actually vomit then out of the blue, BAM! I had to RUN to the bathroom. Now, this alone is not why I think I'm pregnant.

About two weeks ago, my breasts became sore and I just thought it was normal PMS. However, they then swelled up MUCH bigger than they normally do and were much more sore than normal. At the time, I attributed this to birth control. I started taking birth control pills in February. The first pack, I took every day at the same time but I have such a bad memory that during the second pack, I missed two days (although I did take two the next day like it said to) but I also did not take them at the same time every day.

Now, here's the next problem. I also started taking Lexapro for anxiety in February and my sex drive dropped. My husband and I had sex on Valentine's Day and that's been it. I had a period in March. Last night, out of the blue, I basically jumped my husband. I was in the mood and I let him know it.

 So, current symptoms (without going out to buy a test yet): Missed period, nausea, vomiting, tender swollen breasts, mood swings, headache, extremely dry/itchy skin, frequent urination, increased sex drive, sleeping a lot.

Should I go try a pee test first or should I go ahead and just go to the doctor? A friend of mine (who has two children) thinks that I am pregnant.

 

Thank you ladies!

Re: Am I pregnant?

  • I am charting and my period has never been late, even before I started taking birth control.
  • can I get some clarification...it sounds like you said you had sex on V-day (feb 14th), had a period in March, but haven't had sex again except last night, is that true?  If that is the case you are definitely not pregnant, as it takes close to 2

  • Symptoms mean nothing without a positive pregnancy test. Seeing as how we can't see through the screen and into your uterus, it's best just to take a test.

  • There is no way on this earth that internet strangers can know if you are pregnant. 

    Why haven't you taken an HPT? You can get them at the dollar store. Use Pink dye. If you are pregnant enough to be that sick etc. then you should be pregnant

  • Those things are definitely in the list of possible pregnancy. I didn't get sick (and still haven't) but that's one of the big things for pregnancy in 1st trimester especially. Frequent urination I did have. Nausea I definitely did/do have. Headaches i

  • Just take the damn test.  We have no idea if you are pregnant or not.

  • I don't know if you're pregnant...are you? If you haven't taken a test, how can any of us know?
  • No sex = No pregnancy, you don't need to buy a test. I'm no doctor but I would venture to guess that the anxiety that caused you to start taking medication also delayed your ovulation and thus made you have a late period. It is not rocket science, if you

  • Take several tests first, if they are all positive then there is a big chance you are pregnant. If some come out both negative and positive then I recommend you go to the doctors. Good luck!
  • All the symptoms you listed could be PMS.

    Take a test, simple.

  • You had a period in March, yes? And no sex in March, yes? But you had sex last night, correct? Did I miss something?
