My dog of 13 years passed away two days ago and for a long time I've been thinking about getting another dog (probably a pug) but I'm 12 weeks pregnant (due late Sept) and I don't know whether it would be best to get the puppy now, or to wait a while after the baby is born... ** I have my nieces who are 2 and 7 a lot, so (s)he would be around children before the baby is here a fair bit. ** I've never not had a dog, I've always had at least one so I think it will be really weird to not have one around for x amount of time. What are your thoughts? Get one now or wait for however long after the baby is born to get one? Thanks :)

my hammie is pregnant and i have a little hanging pouch in her cage like ferrets like to play in. it's for hamsters too and i have it hanging in her cage about 3 1/2 inches off the ground of her cage. she likes to climb on top of the pouch instead of in it, (she thinks she can get high enough to escape out of her tank lol). the top of it is probably 8 inches off the ground and she climbs on top trying to get out and will fall off it onto the ground of her tank. she is 12 days into her pregnancy and i am wondering if that is too far of a fall for her. she's got about 3-4 inches of bedding in her tank so it's not a hard fall but im afraid it might hurt the babies being so far into her pregnancy. i've been keeping it up out of reach the last 2 days, but it makes me feel bad because she really likes playing with it but im afraid it might hurt her babies..am i doing the right thing? and if i should keep it out of reach should i leave it that way until the babies are two weeks old just in case she falls off of it and lands on a baby? personal opinions please? much appreciated.

I am 36 weeks and 5 days pregnant. Last night I was lying on the couch and felt some water come out onto my leg/crotch area. It wasn't watery-like discharge, it definitely felt just like water and had no smell or color. I stood up and some more trickled out and trickled out all the way to the bathroom but never gushed or seemed like it was for sure my water breaking like in the movies. (sorry this is getting long) I went to bed lastnite since it had stopped leaking for a while and I was woken up this morning with some more trickling down my leg and in my underwear. Now this morning I haven't really had any more significant leaking, just a tiny bit here and there. The only catch, that is making it hard for me to figure what to do, is that I have been using EPO (evening primrose oil) inserted at night to help my cervix thin/efface for about 12 days. I couldn't tell this morning if I was leaking only EPO or if there was more amniotic fluid, BUT lastnite when it trickled out the first time I had not put any EPO in yet. Also, I have been having and increased amount of dull low backache and painless braxton hicks type contractions since right before this all started lastnite. SO, did my water break, am I leaking, or is it something else totally different and I am just officiallyy crazy from being pregnant so long? * Sorry that was really long. I know that I can/should call my doctor or L&D but I wanted some opinions before I do since I am waiting for my Husband to come home first.

My first pregnancy was a blighted ovum at 12 weeks/ followed by d&c. I got pregnant 7 months after that with my baby boy Noah whom I just lost at 23 weeks on Jan. 22nd/2010 due to PPROM(premature rupture of membranes). I had bleeding the whole pregnancy with Noah but everytime I went to the doctor he would be moving and doctor said he was fine and that my uterus was closed but my placenta was a little low and I had a small hematoma. He told me to go rest at home. Then at 20 weeks I had a huge gush of blood I went to the ER urgently and again my baby had a great hb and was fine..so again doctor told me to just rest and take it easy each day. At 22 weeks I started this pains in my lower abdomen(I thought it was round ligament pain, I even called my dr. and he said maybe its round ligament pain and to rest) so you know everyone trusts their doctor so I did and rested. The pain got worse by the next day so I rushed to the ER and I was actually having contractions!!!! My doctor told me to stay in the hospital so they could monitor my contractions and try to stop them , well they couldnt stop them and the next day my water broke and delivered my sweet angel. Im really devastated and think it was negligence or maybe they just couldnt stop labor from happening. My baby died during delivery. I went to the same doctor and he said I could TTC after 3 cycles..Isnt that too soon? What should I do? Thankss!!Experiences:( I forgot to add that since week 20 till the day I gave birth at 23 weeks I bled a lot.. I really dont know if it was due to the hematoma.

if you have your shot in nov. and have sex jan 31 and the next two days after that (you have your NEXT shot done on FEB. 12.) but before you have your shot your boyfriend cums into you 3 times. are you most on the likely side to be pregnant and with these symptoms sometimes when you use the bathroom you have to go constantly always thirsty moody last day of third week you throwup. you have a few days of bad cramping and bloating. stretchy white clear discharge cravings for hot sauce eating alot but can't get full always having a stomach ache feeling like your going to throwup. one day of spotting blood. headaches. white dots coming out nipples when squeezing (to see what it is) lower back aches only sometime. been on depo since 2008 never had any type of symptom as listed above and haden't had sex with a boy cumming in me until jan 31 and the next two days then symptoms began. but when i haven't had sex on depo before this never happened. took a test in the middle of the third week and came up neg.

I am 14 weeks pregnant and have noticed that I no longer have to wake up 2 or 3 times a night to pee, I only have to get up once between 12 and 2 and then I'm good until morning. I am just wondering if this is normal or if I should be concerned about my baby. When did it get better for you?

Juuuuust curious. I will be 12 weeks at my next appt next week and the hubby will be with me for the ultrasound. Can you tell the difference between the parts this early on? Thanks everyone. That's what I figured (it is too early to tell). :) But it's good to hear about others' experiences. :) Good luck to you all!

I was hired at my employer last November. I am now 10 weeks pregnant with a due date around September 29th. I have short-term disability coverage. I want to take at least six weeks off after I have the baby (most daycare centers in my area will not take babies until they are six weeks old). My problem is I will not have been with my employer for a full 12 months at my estimated date of delivery. How do I protect my job? Should I still attempt to file FMLA?

i am 12 weeks pregnant...when do ppl usually start to show?

I dont know if all new moms do this or not I'm just curious if I'm alone. I've got a 12 week old daughter and I constantly worry about SIDS I have no reason to it's never happened in mine or my husbands familys and I've never known someone that it's happened to but I read alot about it while I was pregnant and now I'm constantly checking on my daughter I'll sit and watch her tummy move up and down just to make sure shes not pausing when takin breaths and if shes in her swing I'll gently touch her hand or foot to see if she'll move it a little to make sure shes okay. Is this normal to worry this way I wake up at night worried about her I do everything I've read to prevent it including sleeping on her back, co-sleeping, no blankets to restrict her air, keeping a fan circulating the air and so on I've even thought about lying to her doctor and telling him that i suspect sleep apnea in hopes of getting a breathing monitor for the night to make sure that shes okay.. is this normal?

i think i may have a problem staying pregnant ... i got pregnant by my now ex-boyfriend, the pregnancy was terminated at 9 weeks in august of 2008. and after the procedure i got an infection( i was told they didnt remove everything)... i met my fiancee 6 months later and found out i was pregnant in late march of 2009, on april 7th 2009 we were in a car accident and i had a miscarriage (i was about 8 or 9 weeks). we were devastated! then in early july i found out i was pregnant again. i was scared i would have another miscarriage at about 8 weeks. i was relieved when i made it to 9 weeks. i went to my pre-natal appointment, and everything looked fine. the doctor tried to find the heartbeat but couldnt hear it. i was told it might be to early. i went back at 12 weeks and the doctor listened for the heartbeat but again couldnt hear it. i was then sent for an ultrasound. i was even more devastated when i found out that we didnt even have a baby! i had what was called a "molar pregnancy". pretty much there was a problem with the sperm or egg and i had a placenta growing inside me for 12 weeks. i had a d&c performed september 18 2009. we have been trying to get pregnant now since november of last year. we desperately want to have a baby, but im afraid that i cant since my first pregnancy was terminated! after the procedure was performed i was told i might not be able to have kids. is this true? or were my pregnancies just too close together, and i hadnt completely healed yet? any info would be greatly appreciated! to those who think im a horrible person for having an abortion .... the ex-boyfriend left me when he found out i was pregnant and told me he would rather continue to smoke crack than start a family with me. and im one of those people who believe its unfair to the child to not have both parents there to learn from

Two weeks ago i went to my dr and everything was fine. heartbeat was ok and so was everything else. I was maybe 6 weeks. Now i am 8 weeks and the dr said there was no heartbeat on the ultra sound and that they immideatly want a DnC done...i told them no. Later i went to the emergency room where they took blood tests and what not which came back normal. On ultra sound they said they did not see a heartbeat, but it may still be a live pregnancy and to check on blood work to see if my level drop.....im still not sure that the heartbeat has much to do..some ppl havent even seen thiers til they were 12 weeks! So hope is not lost..... I really want to give my baby a chance and not just automatically have it aborted.... Has anyone else been in this situation? I would rather have nature take its toll...if it is dead. The reason i said no...was because the original dr i first went to disclosed information from us and was not honest, and when she called..all she said was baby has no heart beat and need a DnC. She wouldnt even let me miscarriage on natural terms even if the baby is not alive, that is why i said no. She gave no options and was inconsiderate. I 6 weeks i had a vaginal ultra sound done, and now at 8 weeks they said no heartbeat.

so she gives me the hole spech about they were to young and that i should be more protected that them and im only 12!!but she keeps bringing it up every chance she gets and saying they did it wrong they screwed up their life blah blah blah... any how a few weeks befor that i just started wearing eye liner she said nothing about it until the day after the news now eye liner will make me pregnant how should i fix this

I just found out I'm pregnant last week, but I have been having killer heart burn and head aches that start midday, and usually go away after a nap, but persist if I stay up. I have a 4 year old and a 2 year old so I can't always take a nap on demand. I did not have heart burn with my first 2 pregnancies, so its new to me. I also can't stop burping. That was the first thing that made me think I was pregnant. I feel sick only every now and then, its not that bad for right now. What can I take if the head aches get too bad, or the heart burn becomes unbearable? I don't have my first OB appointment until April 12th and ultra sound April 13th. You know, I have been craving milk! I never even though of that! I drank 1/2 a gallon in 1 day... oops.

This is from my first question: I know that there is no way to know if you've experienced implantation bleeding unless you have actually found out you were pregnant soon after experiencing what you think might be implantation bleeding so could somebody please help me? I appreciate any answers :) I got positive ovulation tests on days 13 & 14....even 15 was questionable, but def. a lil lighter than the previous 2 days. 13 & 14 were def. positive. Then on day 17 I started bleeding brown with a lil "occasional" light red in it. I only wore one panty liner a day, but this is day 3 of it and Im still getting very little light brown on the tp when I wipe. It started TEN days before I even expect my period and this has NEVER happened to me before...Ive never started my period more than a day or 2 early and even that has only happend a couple of times and Im 26 years old. Has anyone ever experienced this and then found out they were pregnant and it actually WAS implantation bleeding? Im goin crazy here!! I plan to test Monday, but I was just curious if anyone else had been through the same thing...thanks again in advance :) 3 days ago Additional Details also...I forgot to mention we had sex on days 12-16.... This is from my second question: ok so now the bleeding (or whatever you wanna call it) stopped yesterday morning which means it only lasted about 3 1/2 days and was very very light....now I have this wierd light yellowish kinda thick discharge and its not infection, Ive had infections and thats not what this is...there is no irritation or anything like that with it....Im on day 23 of my cycle and I ovulated between days 13 & 15..got positive ovul. tests on days 13 and 14. Anybody else ever experienced this? This is from my third question: Now just today after no bleeding at all for 2 days, Ive started the light brown stuff again...wtf??? If this is my period, which would still be 4 days early, then what was what just happened to me last week? This has never happened to me before so its makin me kinda worry about what's goin on...thanks again for any answers in advance :) I only repost all these because wierd things kept happening that have never happened to me before...I kinda worry about a tubal pregnancy or something like that, but I took a test yesterday morning and it was negative...it was a first response early result that tells you 6 days before your missed period...Im still not due for my period till Saturday...If anybody has experienced the same thing or has any info or possibilities that might set my mind at ease, it would be greatly appreciated :)

I'm 12 weeks pregnant. Yesterday I noticed that the lymph nodes in my underarms were swollen and a little itchy. It's been a day and it hasn't went away yet. I know I've had a nasty cold that I'm just beginning to get over. Could this be the cause of the swollen nodes under my arms? Should I be concerned at all for little peanut?

I'm only 12 weeks pregnant, so I have a little while to wait until I have to choose which birthing option to go for, but I cannot find ANYTHING on the reasons people choose to go through it naturally when there is medication that will ease pain. I was leaning more toward epidural, but there must be something wrong with doing that because if that's available to people, why is it that they choose natural childbirth over epidural or some other kind of medicated childbirth?

it's been 3 years since this happened, and what basically happened was this; I was abused my whole life by my step-dad while my mom and my family just sat by, not doing anything about it. When I was 19, I met the man who is now my husband, and he decided to help me out of the abusive situation. Though I was 19 and an adult and had every right to leave the abusive situation, my family thinks I am a terrible person for leaving. They think I should just go home and "put up with it." My cousin is among my family members who think this way. The sad thing is, he and I are only 2 years apart, and we've been pretty much best friends our whole lives. The last time we talked to each other, it was via a heated email where he said I should just go home and "talk it out" with my abusive step dad. I know that I am right for wanting to leave the situation I was in, and I am just thankful for my husband who helped me out of the situation (which my family HATES him by the way, they think he should have just minded his own business) when no one else in my family did. The last time I heard from my cousin, he wasn't even speaking directly to me, he just wrote some nasty comments about me on my brother's facebook wall. Anyway, I'm 12 weeks pregnant now, and the name we chose for if we have a son is Andrew. Thing is, that is also my cousin's name, and it's making me want to reconcile with him, and it's making me sad. What do I do? Should I even bother reconciling with my cousin?

She has 4 kids who are 12,3,1,and 1.She can barley afford them so she always gets me to take care of them for weeks and months at a time.She's had the kids taken away from her before,she chooses men over them,when the kids are living with her she leaves my 12 y/o granddaughter home alone all the time with her younger siblings,she leaves them home alone for sometimes up to 2 days,she has a drug problem,and she dosent even have a job.I dont like the kids living with her,but I really have no choice.Im out of work and not in condition to raise children.Shes now pregnant again and wants me to keep the kids until she has the baby.I really dont know what to do.My daughter is being so immature,irresponsible,and stupid.I dont know how to get her to be a good mother to her kids.Please help?

to start off, i'm 16, junior in high school. i live with my mom, dad, sister. basically, i've come to and end. i'm just not sure where to go from here. i'm considering emancipation hopefully within the next 6-8 months. i've been looking into it and obviously you have to have a logical reason for the court to grant it to you. so i was wondering if any of the problems i have would qualify me. basically, life for me is school, working, cleaning, sleeping. that is it. during the average week, i get up at 6 30 every day. do an hour of chores. go to school. come home. chores until about 8. homework. dinner. help sister/ do sisters homework while she plays wii. dinner dishes. feed pets. and by then, its usually around 11 or 12 so i barely have time to shower. i dont ever sleep well because in our 5 bedroom house, my dad needs his own room, (ill get into their relationship shortly) my mom needs her own room/studio, my sister needs her own playroom, and we need a laundry room. so i have to share a room... my sister is an INSANE sleeptaker. who at least 5 times a night shakes me ridiculously hard and scares she shit out of me to wake me up and temm me she has to pee, or some jibberish. not exagerating.. its bad. so i go to bed at about 1230..get around 4-5 hours of sleep a night. maybe less. wake up at 6 30. ect. basically, im always running on full blast, but with no fuel. i hardly have time to feed myself or pack lunch for myself because im always making food for others, because i'm a vegeterian. anyway, my social life used to be wonderful. it was my safe place. the place i could go to get out of the arguments, out of all the work, and finally just relax and be a teenager for 5 seconds. i was on the absoulte top of the social scale at my school, and had great friends that i've been with since elementery school. i loved every second of it. recently, my parents' relationship has been spiraling downward. actually, its been on the way since i was born. my parents have both told me several times to my face "i ended there career" i ruined their chances of fame.. i was just a mistake... i should have been that abortion...ect. (they used to live in hollywood and had their own band, hence the need for the seperate studio room and all the equipment, and were actually semi-famous in the 80's/90's until they got pregnant and had to sell their prized downtown hollywood home, leave their bandmates and possible future fame, stop doing drugs, and settle down from the party life) so basically they blame me. constantly. which takes a toll. anyway. for around the past few years, ive been abused, (hit, kicked, pushed, smacked, slapped, hit with projectiles, pushed down stairs, kicked in stomache and ribs, pushed into things, verbally abused to the MAX, using just about every name in the book, emotionally abused, ect.) but having those great friends who cared made life okay. it made the weeks of work and stress and torture worth the weekend. they are honestly the only times i can say i'm happy. my sister is always babied, no matter WHAT. always. im expected to do her work, feed her animals, clean her bathroom, do her laundry, pick up her clothes/toys, feed her, clean her half of the room/make her bed, clean her furniture, and basically wait on her. ) my mom is a complete neat freak btw, as in OCD, which doesnt help the matter. anyway, my mom has no longer found the need to defend me from my dad when he's angry, (all the time, he's a post-cancer survivor and has serious un-handled mental trauma from almost passing away) so i take the fall for everything. i am literally the family spacegoat. if he has a bad day at work, i get hit and grounded. when he forgets to pay the propane bill, i get kicked and told i'm a fucki*g piece of shit. but like i said, friends made it worth the while. lately, i have not been allowed out of my house, at all, for any reason. i've been as kind and responsible and as helpfull as ever, baking things for my family, maintaining good grades, being an extremely helpfull nice person, and i get nothing in return. its just too much. my friends have pretty much forgotten about me, because every time they see me, and ask to hang out, they dont even have to wait for my reply... im grounded. half of them think i'm lying..because who could ever be grounded this much? i am. it hurts so bad to see them all walk off every day to go do what we all used to do together.. since elementary...inseperable..and i see them look back and shake their heads because they know no matter what or when ill be grounded. i miss my life, i need my life, i'm sick all the time now, i have insomnia, i have no appetite (5'6 and im currently as of today 103 punds)... this sounds cliche and retarded but i feel like my parents are working me to death. today for example i begged my mom for hours if i could please. go spend just an hour with my friend tommorow and she screamed, argued, hit me, and told me i wasnt worthy of being allowed to have friend

I just turned 16, and last had sex around the 12th february. We did use a condom. I noticed this month that my period is now almost a week late, and it is normally early. Is this something I should be worried about? If it is still not here in 2 days I am definately going to take a test just in case. Aside from this I do not really feel any different aside from a bit tired but I go to bed quite late so that could be why. Please give me any advice or tips, i'm worried! Thanks x

Ok so I had a D&C on Jan. 15th at 10.5 weeks pregnant. I got my blood levels check on Feb 19th and had 356 hcg and again on the 22nd and the nurse just said it was decreasing. I am pretty sure I ovulated on Feb 27th. On Friday, March 5th( 6dpo) I have had some brown sometime red spotting, well a lil more than spotting around 5 o'clock everyday since.... like yesterday I had one gush of blood and it quit.. it does not last very long. Do you think this could be implantation bleeding, or just my body being out of whack? I am expecting my period March 12th or 13th( 8 weeks after d&c) and 14 days after believed ovulation.

I'm really worried, I am nearly 12 weeks pregnant and going on maternity leave mid September. I am really worried about what I am going to do when it is born? I don't want to live off benefits, just because I would rather work and provide for my baby myself. My partner works also but we are really worried about how we are going to afford childcare. My family are unable to help as they all work. UK answers would be really helpful, thank you :)

Ok, my husband and I are TTC. He swears im pregnant, but I didn't think so, now that he makes comments when I say things, its become more in my head that I actually might be... I am now 12 dpo and we did have sex around the time I would of been ovulating. I am new to this whole thing so my dates aren't exact and my periods on an odd cycle ( some months 28 days, some months 30+) The past week i've been naseous on and off, i have been taking prentals and stopped thinking that was the cause, but now a few days after stopping, I am naseous. I also feel like I have a fever, my eyes feel heavy and my skins hot to touch, yet I do not feel sick in any way or actual feverish. I find myself more tired and can smell everything. I also have had this dull but on and off again pain/sensation in my lower right abdomen, lower and closer to where pubic hair would start...I feel very off and out of it, and tired w/ no energy. I know it sounds like I could be getting the flu but I can tell you thats now how i feel. My boobs dont hurt or have any chance . I took a test Sunday am but think it was too early, im waiting till Sunday ( 35 days) to take another test, but was wondering if you thought these sounded like i could be bc my husband would bet money on it that I am.

My period was 12 days late yesterday, but then later that day I started my period. My period had been very regular for months and months. I had taken a HPT a couple days ago which came out as a faint positive. I was sure I was pregnant, I would have been about 5.5 weeks.I didnt go to the doctor right away or take a second HPT because we had a family death around the same time and between work and feeling super tired I didnt get around to it. this would have been my second pregnancy. My last pregnancy ended in miscarriage at 8 weeks. My period was absolutely unbearable yesterday! I might as well have been in active labor it hurt so bad. I had nausea, throwing up, dizziness, hot/cold shivers. Lasted for about half an hour, but I took two ibuprofen. So far my period has been lighter than usual. I'm bleeding, but theres no clots or anything. So I'm guessing I was never even pregnant? Just a late period? Could I be bleeding like that and still be pregnant? Another thing, my breasts were very sensitive, bloated, and tender for a couple days, and randomly felt better a couple days ago. Odd? thanks in advance!

Ok, my husband and I are TTC. He swears im pregnant, but I didn't think so, now that he makes comments when I say things, its become more in my head that I actually might be... I am now 12 dpo and we did have sex around the time I would of been ovulating. I am new to this whole thing so my dates aren't exact and my periods on an odd cycle ( some months 28 days, some months 30+) The past week i've been naseous on and off, i have been taking prentals and stopped thinking that was the cause, but now a few days after stopping, I am naseous. I also feel like I have a fever, my eyes feel heavy and my skins hot to touch, yet I do not feel sick in any way or actual feverish. I find myself more tired and can smell everything. I also have had this dull but on and off again pain/sensation in my lower right abdomen, lower and closer to where pubic hair would start...I feel very off and out of it, and tired w/ no energy.

The baby is fine (thank GOD!) but I have horrible morning sickness since before the accident and was prescribed zofran and because I was injured pretty badly (broken pelvis) they gave me darvocet and lortab (of course not to be taken at the same time but one for night and one for day time). I only take either the zofran or the pain meds as needed but I was wondering if anyone knew if you could take the zofran and one of the pain meds at the same time? I meant to add this detail.. I didn't ask at the hospital (little out of it) and I am still waiting to hear back from my doctor. I just wanted to hear from other mothers or expected mothers that might have been in the same situation. :) Def wouldn't just come to yahoo for an answer that depended on my childs life.

Hi all, ok so I am confused. The info shared here is a bit personal, but I suddenly am struggling with maths! Ok so I read up alot on when the optimal time is for falling pregnant etc. Now according to the books the maths should work as follows: my first day of my last period was 24th December. My period is 3 days long normally and there is an approximate 28 days between months. According to the calculations the baby is due the 30th of September. But unless I am totally doing this wrong, this means that I had to ovulate approx 7-10th Jan. Now this is the issue. My husband is lives away from home and we had a week in december over Christmas together. We had sex on the morning of the 1st of Jan and my husband left to go back to his job on the 3rd. I am going for a scan next week which then should make it 12 weeks, but somehow the timing just doesn't sound correct? The following items are contributing to my question: My morning sickness (which was really really bad, just suddenly stopped last week (glad!) - isn't it supposed to only ease end 12th week or so? And also, sperm can surely not stay in that long (I know that not ovulating does not mean that you are 'immune' but we have not used anything for 3 years, and it just suddenly happens? Dunno sounds a bit silly in writing all of this, but what are the changes of the due date/conception date being off? Hi had a good giggle to one of the answers, sorry I forgot to say that I'm not worried about who the father is at all, one man for me thanks, they are enough to deal with one by one, who in their right mind will want to have two! Nope, I absolutely adore and love my baby's father, I am just a bit of a control freak so my planning is a bit hectic and things I cannot explain freaks me out.... yeah I know I will have to make a few mind shift changes, with a baby on the way, I just have a few funny questions cause we have not planned on having children at all, we are very excited though! Thanks for all the helpfull answers!

I have had a few pregnancy symptoms ( headaches, off feeling, naseousness here and there etc)and i am currently about 12 dpo. I have noticed the past week or so this mild lower abdominal pain that lasts about a few seconds and comes and goes, its low almost internally in the region that pubic hair starts. I am not due for my period for another couple of days, I had tested Sunday morning and it was negative, but this cramp like pain I was wondering if anyone else experienced it. My husband swears im pregnant, and I dnot want to put too much thought into it being i'd get my hopes up. this is not a pain i ever recall getting before my period, its not a cramp as much as a sensation. I have been pregnant before, this would be my 3rd, i just dont recall this before

ok so i had my last normal period 27/12/09, went of BC 8/1/10 (which was about 10 days into new pack), had a light breakthrough bleed 2 days later lasting only a day and a half, haven't used any other form of contraception since coming of BC, and its now 9/3/10 and still not period! Have taken 4 HPT's over the last few mths and a urine test at sexual health clinic, got neg results on all STD tests and no abnormalities like PCOS etc. I have also been having sporadic pregnancy symptoms, nauseous/dizzy one day and then off for a few days and then cramps and sore breasts another, throwing up in my mouth and so on for about a 6 weeks, today im really tired...was falling asleep at 330pm! Should i get a blood test? Could i be pregnant despite the neg HPT's?

I need help please. I dont want links, i want personl help, someone telling me what they think or what to do. I had unprotected sex on 12 and 13 feb, my period is 3 days late now. i tested this morning and it was negative. i started my birth control a week before i had unprotected sex. (before i took birthcontrol my period was never late)COULD THE PILL AFFECT MY PERIOD? OR COULD I ACTUALLY BE PREGNANT? please give me answers or opinions and not just links. thanx

i had unprotected sex on the 12th and 13th feb. I took 4 tests and it was negative. my period is now 3 days late and i took a test today(8 march) and it was negative. I also started the pill a week before unprotected sex. so could the pill prevent me from falling pregnant? could i still be pregnant? please help well should i test again? or just forget about it?

Me and my fiance have known each other 5+ yrs and he's always worked a lot. He's a very hard worker and I've always admired his work ethic but lately it getting crazy. He's shop manager at a just brakes and they work him to the bone!! He works 12-18 hour days 6 days a week and on sundays he does side work. Cars are his life. Its never bothered me till now, I'm 26 weeks pregnant and worried. We don't see each other as much as id like but I cherish every second we have together. But he can't even take time off to come to the dr with me. And I'm worried he's going to miss the birth of his baby girl because the shop. Then once our babys born he's never going to see her there's so much he's gonna miss. I love him greatly, we still have fun together, have an AMAZING sex life, and are very happy. I just need advice on how to handle him working so much. And should I be upset he can't go to our dr visits?

Last month (February) my period was 4 days late. This month (March) it came two weeks after I had my period. I started February 26th and ended February 28th. Than later that week like 3 days later (Wednesday night) I started spotting and all through Thursday and ended Thursday night (It was light pink it only showed when I wiped). My boobs have been hurting since Wednesday when I started spotting and still today they are hurting (it's like a burning sensation with the nipples). I have cramping at nights like I am going to start my period but i just ended a week ago. I'm also very gassy at night now. I also dont wanna go to bed till like 12 or 1 at night and I just wanna sleep all morning till the afternoon. I have a 1 year old son and my husband and I are TTC. When I was pregnant with my first I knew I was pregnant because my nipples hurt so bad liek they do now and my periods were weird. What I'm trying to ask is could I be pregnant? My nipples have been burning for a week straight and get worse more towards night time and feel full and heavy. I am always on a 28 day cycle. Any answers will be helpfull thanks!! It clearly says I have had stomach pains (cramping). I feel bloated... I also have lower back pain...Keep in mind that all the symptoms that I have are occuring during the afternoon to all night except my nipples bother me all day but get worse as the day/night progresses. Iv'e had a couple dreams at night to where I am pregnant!!

This may sound weird but I really do need to know. For the past week or so, I've been sleeping so many hours it's unreal! I can sleep for 12 hours, wake up for 2 hours then be tired again! Also I've been experiencing stomach cramps ... not to the point that I'm doubled over but I can feel them, felt nauseous and have been really emotional. I've recently been checked for any STD's and result came back all clear. I'm not asking if I'm pregnant as I know nobody can tell me that! Thanks :)

I use to be on birth control but I did it for a month only. I started my period on Feb 6 and I was completely off Feb 12. So i dont know if i should be on my period by now. My boyfriend and I have a lot of sex. Not everyday but mostly at least twice a day when we do and we may have sex like 3 or 4 times a week.For the past 2 weeks, I have been going through this dizzy phase. The room would start spinning. My ears would sound staticy and i would have to sit or lay down. That happened 4 times. Also the first day I had this dizziness. I was having this pelvis pain or very low ab area pain. i couldnt laugh or anything without it hurting. My stomache feels funny but i am blaming it on indigestion or hunger or something.oh My nipples have been staying hard. Sometimes they will go down but not for long. They also have a slight pain when rubbed or hit a certain way. My breast are just itchy. Are these symptoms or signs I couls be pregnant
