Should I or not?

GandL09 · July 2015

I need help in determining if I should take a pregnancy test or not... I was due for my period 6/28 and didn't get it until 7/1. It was very light and only lasted 2 days. Monday evening around 7:30pm I became extremely nauseous. Couldn't eat anything, couldn't do dishes, nothing. Tossed and turned all night and woke up on Tuesday feeling good. Made a protein shake and began to drink it on my way to work...couldn't do it. Two sips in and I was back to being nauseous. Yesterday the nausea came and went. During my workout I became very dizzy, was able to eat dinner last night but still didn't feel right. This morning went to heat my eggs and couldn't even get them out of the container because of the nausea. Got to work and start to feel crampy. I did take two pregnancy tests when my period was so late and both were negative. I have one daughter who is 2 and when I was pregnant with her I only got nauseated in the evenings...so....should I take a pregnancy test tomorrow morning or is this a bug?

The only way to know is to test. Nausea can be caused by a million different things other than pregnancy.

MamaBish · July 2015

I don't think you need to take one. If you bled for two days, that was your period.

If you still don't believe it, then test.

lalala2004 · July 2015

*sigh* Not even your doctor would diagnose you over the Internet.

Just keep testing, it's not expensive, but my guess is you did have your period. 3 days 'late' is not very late, and if the test is negative, you aren't pregnant. How do you know you are late? Are you temping to know when you ovulated?

I'm confused. You already took two tests a week ago when you had your light period and they were negative? You're not pregnant at this time.

GandL09 · July 2015

I would agree but I'm never late. Haven't been late in 10 years so to be late was a big deal to me and now to be so nauseous...feel like something is up. But I don't want to waste a test since I took two last week and they were negative. But I also have an event this weekend that I need to prepare/plan how to fake drinking if I was prego....

Go to the dollar store or Walmart and buy a cheapie test if you want to. I don't think you need one, though

If you really want to test again, get a super cheap test from the dollar store.

KristieA · July 2015

Really? If you think you might be go pee on a stick. They are not expensive and you can get more if it's negative. We don't symptom spot here.

Edited for gif

bsckgb7 · July 2015

My period is always light and always last 2 days. I thought that meant I WASN'T pregnant. I've been doing it wrong this whole time!!

WinchestertoPittsburgh · July 2015

A $1 test or having to worry about whether or not i'm pregnant.... hmmmm....

Daybird11Six · July 2015

Your period is normal until it's not.

cattlebride · July 2015

I honestly only read the first sentence. Take the hpt. Also why are you asking a bunch of online strangers if you should pee on a stick. If you have to ask you should probably take one. :-w lurk and lurk some more. You will find out a ton about fertility.

PugsandKisses · July 2015

If you think you are pregnant, take a test.

Also, periods change. Then can be light one cycle then super heavy with clots. All normal.

nlwz123 · July 2015

Your period was only "late" by 3 days...

If you are REALLY that concerned, just take another test. Boom. Answer.

Generally, I say POAS whenever you feel like it.

mrstmoose · July 2015

Take a hpt, internet strangers cannot tell if you're pregnant or not. If it's positive, congratulations and head to your bmb.

mrsmommya · July 2015

I seriously just scrolled to the bottom without even reading.....

Has your cat sat on your stomach and snuggled? If so, congrats! Its twins!

I don't get the whole "fake drinking" thing. It's no one else's business of someone is drinking or not. Even if people claim their friends just want to make sure they're having fun. If anyone asks, just say no. You don't feel like it. You're fine with water. Whatever. NBD

Oh, and I second that you had a period (because you're normal til you're not) and negative tests.

ljwisniew · July 2015

just say you were feeling sick and don't feel like drinking. Boom problem solved. no "fake drinking" needed.

no such thing as "wasting" a test if you are unsure. A test is to give you an answer whether or not its positive or negative. if it's negative- you have an answer. the test wasn't wasted.

Everycol0r · July 2015

All I read was your first sentence.

Pee on a stick

Your cycles are regular until they're not. You took a test. You had a period. You're still worried. Go buy an 88 cent test and ease your mind. If you don't know if you're pregnant, how do you expect us to know?

Also, no matter what, you are not a jar of pasta sauce!

I am unbelievably jealous of this. Mine are 6-7 days and crazy heavy. Wanna trade?

loveymay · July 2015

You can get a pregnancy test from walmart for only $0.88. If you want to put your mind at ease, you won't have wasted much money.

If you can't afford a bunch of 88cent/$1 tests, I reckon you can't afford a baby. Sorry.

PugsandKisses · July 2015

I don't get why people argue that they 'know' their bodies, and it always does XYZ. Then they get mad because they don't know if they are pregnant or not and are shock/butthurt/offended that we tell them that we can't possibly know. We suggest a magically little device that they pee on, and it test them that "GOSH", they are/are not pregnant. Then they argue why they can't test. Either $$$, or time, or they or a close family member could NEVER turn a pregnancy test positive, even while in labor.

Finally we get the 'mean', or 'bullies' comment, followed by 'i though this place was for support', and then some form of "screw you guys", and a million reports for being mean and hurting her feelings. Which the BGs feel it is limiting peoples enjoyment of the site, while ignoring our enjoyment.

So we celebrate with a GIF party.

Seriously though, pee on a stick. Many sticks! Treat it like a new sport!

Stock up on cheap tests and pee on them whenever you get the urge. It may be mostly disappointing, but it's the only way to know. That, and seeing a doctor. Because the internet can't tell if you're knocked up.

HarryPotterandCats · July 2015

@schmancynancy , thanks! It really pretty much sums me up, lol

Don't want to waste a test but wasting our time is fine. Even as a lurker, I'm annoyed.
