i am pregnant. would a doctor be able to tell if i got pregnant june 27th, 2009? i had my lmp on july 9th, 2009 and has a transvaginal ultrasound at 9 weeks sayin my last lmp was july 7th. Only 2 days off and a due date of april 14th, 2010 so would a doctor be able to clearly tell the difference?

This wednesday i will be 6 weeks late. I was suppose to start Jan 27th and never did. I had the cramps and everything but my period never came. Then i started getting brown spotting for a few days with about one day of liiiiiiight bleeding. While i had the brown discharge i was getting random waves of nausea and heartburn almost every time i ate. When the brown stopped i immedietly started getting a lot of white discharge. About a week after the white started, i started getting random cramps and dull aches in my lower ab and back area. Before the brown i took a test (-) and during the white i took another test (-). I have also taken 2 other tests which were negative (4 tests). Thats a lot of negatives. So i got over the idea of being pregnant. Then i started getting headaches, and when i would lay down i could feel my heart beating really fast like i just got done running. All i was doing was laying down. I am the kind of person who can stay up all night but then sleep allllllll day. I have slept over 16 hours in a day before. I love my sleep. Lately i HAVE to be in bed at 9 or 10 and i wake up at 7 or 8am. THAT NEVER HAPPENS!!! i usually sleep in until noon. I still have had no period. Completely missed februarys period. Nothing, no cramps or anything. And i still have no cramps. The other weekend (1 week ago) i had some pains in my lower ab (sharp but dull?) very weird feelings. It kinda felt like i was running, but out of shape. That kind of feeling but lower. I have no idea whats going on with my body. Does this sound like pregnancy :) or something bad? Im pretty nervous about whats going on with my body. Now all of the symptoms have gone away except the whole sleep thing. If i were pregnant i would be 10.5 weeks. Im just going crazy. Please help!!! No sarcastic answers please... Anyone ever take a test when it was negative and still been pregnant? What does this sound like? Oh ya and my face is breaking out and my hair looks better than ever!!! except it gets oily faster.

Got told today that my 6 month contract will NOT be renewed when it ends on 30 March. This was not a surprise to me as I am 13 weeks pregnant and another employee who was on a temp contract was told she would not be renewed last year. I've also been off sick with pregnancy sickness (have doctor's notes) which no doubt has annoyed my manager greatly (despite pregnancy related ilnessc being protected under anti-discrimination laws in the UK). I've been with the company snice January 2008 and a little p*d off at this, but it was no less than I expected, they do NOT treat their staff well and there is way too much favouritism. Anyway, what to do? I have five days to appeal but tbh I can't see myself being well enough to go back in just yet and even if I did and they gave me another 6 months contract, my baby is due mid-September and so I would not be able to work the full 6 months out. I don't think I'd get SMP if my contract ended two weeks after giving birth. I can't see much point in "appealing" . . . I should be able to claim Maternity Allowance from 27 weeks but not sure what to do in the interim. I have a three year old son at home so I'm not so worried about the "being bored" thing as the "lack of money" thing! Especially with baby bits and pieces to buy! I only worked part time and probably haven't paid enough NI stamps to get JSA, and my hubby works so I can't get Income Support. hubby doesn't really earn enough to support us both. We get tax credits already. Any ideas? I don't feel well enough to go job hunting yet - am still praying my pregnancy sickness will ease off soon. I'm already showing so I can't think that applying for a job and keeping the pregnancy secret would work. I doubt anyone would want to take a pregnant woman on anyway, knowing she'll be off on maternity leave by August at the latest. Anyone else lost their job whilst pregnant? What did you do? NB: am in the UK so don't need advice relevant to the USA thanks!

The beginning of my last period was January 27, 2010. It ended February 3, 2010. I'm pretty sure I'm about 3 weeks pregnant. Am I still going to be able to take the abortion pill? Because I've heard that you can only take it if you less than 6 weeks pregnant. BUT I've also heard that it has to be before 9 weeks since your last period and THIS IS the ninth week SINCE my last period. Help I'm confused. Oh and P.S. I'm not here so you can yell at me about how bad abortion is, I REALIZE that, but its something I have to do! ANYWAYS....I just need help on this pill not about abortion. Thanks! =)

i usually start my period around the 23rd of each month, but on february 11th i started. then on february 26th and 27th, my boyfriend and i had unprotected sex and we used the pullout method but im not sure if precum could get me pregnant or how that works. anyway, i started bleeding a mediumish flow on march 9th and idk if this is my period coming early again or what? i know that my highest fertility level was on the 26th and 27th but that might be different considering my cycle was irregular. i would like to know if there is any chance i am pregnant? i have been getting minor headaches on and off throughout this week and i dont normally get headaches, at least not this often.i have had minor cramping and that is about it. thanks!

i may have conceived on the 2nd late night or early in the morning On the 3rd and well the day after i may have conceived i wanted to have sex so bad all that day that is on the 4th and ever since then i have been going through it my nipples area have been sore and i have had head throbbing head aches and been sleeping up a storm and my had slight stomach cramps but nothing too major and eating every five minutes but i have been trying for a while to get pregnant but just not with this partner me and this partner have only had intercourse maybe 4 times so far and all times unprotected and by the way he always says little remarks about me having his babie and he already has a 2 year old and ten year old but ssssshhhhh he is 27 yrs old and i am going on 16 !!! do you think i am pregnant

Was in Hosp almost 2 weeks ago for cramping and some contractions. Was a fingertip dialated

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.

My girlfriend and I are very anxious waiting for her next period because of the following story. On February 17th, I was having protected sex with my girlfriend and my condom broke during orgasm and I ejaculated inside her before I realized it broke. That happened at about 6:10 PM and we went to the drugstore and she took the Plan B One Step at about 6:45 PM. On February 22nd, she started bleeding in a way that was similar to her period(as the information inside the box said may happen) and it subsided on the 27th. Her last period started on February 8th, and ended on either the 15th or 16th of Feb. Her periods in January and February were early by a few days each time ( January was around 2-4 days early, February was almost a week early). She said through her best estimation, that she can expect her period anywhere from 3/9 - 3/11, based on how irregular she has been for the past two months. We have also both heard and read that it can make your period up to 10 days lat. Based on everything stated, do you think Plan B successfully worked and she is NOT pregnant? And when can she expect her period?

Ok...ttc w hubby..lmp was feb 10 and I have a 28/29 day cycle. We had sex 19 21 and 23/24...I shouldve been ovulating on the 23/24. Anyways I've had slight cramping since the 27th and been feeling sick tired grumpy had headaches off and on. Also this week I've been getting night sweats only at night and my temp is 99. My legs have been cramping but I have no soreness in my boobs... I have a 9month Ike I just stopped breastfeeding maybe two weeks ago...i tested neg on march 5 and march 7 and I'm due for my period tomorrow.. I'm still having slight cramping and wondering if this is more pms or pregnancy signs? I don't remeber ever having cramps before my period only usually during that are almost unbarable. The cramps have lasted about a week and a half. I've also been very thirsty and hungry but some foods just don't sound good at all and I'm more picky about what ineat. What could this be? Not peeing more but then again I go alot anywys.

Has anyone experienced stomach pain & cramps after eating fresh vegetables? It's not horrible pain, just mildly uncomfortable, like indigestion. I am 27 weeks pregnant and this has been a problem since the beginning of my pregnancy. The thought of fresh vegetables in my Frost trimester was enough to make me wanna barf! I know I need to eat them for the baby so I'm wondering what could be causing this or what I could do about it. Thanks! Frost trimester should be "first" triemester...spell check was being a little too helpful :)

She just started feeling weird 2 days ago and she claims she may be pregnant because she is sexually active. She said she had unprotected sex on February 27th and think her period has been missed.

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?

My boyfriend and are very responsible whenever we have sex. He urinates before sex, and we put on the condoms properly, following all the directions before there is any pre-ejaculate. He NEVER ejaculates inside me with the condom on. We had PROTECTED sex Feb. 27, right around my fertile days. In the midst of changing positions (I moved to a chair from the bed) he became slightly softer but not so much as for the condom to slip. I was on top. After a bit, he looked down and noticed some whitish fluid IN the sides of the condom, but not OUTSIDE it. He and I weren't sure if it was pre-ejaculate, and if any had leaked out the rim of the condom. We immediately stopped once he noticed the fluid in the sides, because we hoped none leaked out. As far as we both knew, the condom did not slip, but it worries us just the same. What are the chances of this causing me to be pregnant? Again, his pre-ejaculate shouldn't have contained vital or leftover sperm because he urinated before sex to clean any out that might be there. I'm just concerned because if some had gotten from the base onto my vagina, it was near my fertile days. My period is due around March 13th. I've been feeling cramps over a week earlier than I normally do and my back is tender. Although these are pretty normal before my period, they seem to be a lot earlier than normal. My breasts are normally sore, and they are only slightly now. Also, I have very thin, but not an excess of white discharge, not sticky or thick. I might be worrying for nothing. Any thoughts?

My period in January was late by 4 days and my period in Feb was ontime but ended by the 28th which mine usually last 4 days.(My period was 2 weeks apart). So basically I didn't have a period this month yet but I should start on the 27th like I always do. 3 days after my period my boobs hurt. They feel heavy and full and my nipples burn, tingle, and sometime itches and still do today. My boobs hurt thoughout the day but get worse at night Also I have cramps on and off through out the day. I have lower back pain to (feel achy) I have a normal cycle of 28 days but January messed me up and I had mine ontime at end of feb like I'm suppose to have it. Am I pregnant?

I am 27 weeks and 5 days pregnant today and my due date is May 30 2010. I had sex with my ex on aug 18th 2009 and then came on my prd aug 30th and it lasted my normal 4 days then me and my current bf had sex all in september. Also I had a prd earlier in aug it was aug 5th to the 8th so I had 2 periods in aug. I wanna know which one could be the one I got pregnant by Im really hoping for my current one!!! 4 days ago - 4 days left to answer.

I have a 10 1/2 month old daughter and my husband and I were really wanting to wait until she was around 15 - 18 months to start trying again for another so after a pregnancy scare when she was 6 months , I went on Depo (my first shot was 3 months ago, I'm due for the next one in a week). My OB told me that it's 98-99% effective and to wait a week before having intercourse after getting the shot - we waited a week exactly. I didn't get a period until the end of February - but it wasn't a normal period, it was spotty for like a week, I didn't even need to wear a liner it was so light and then there was like 2 days of heavier flow - but brown, not red and still only heavy enough to need the smallest lightest tampon I could find. Ever since about February 27th I have had cramps that feel like period cramps every morning and sometimes randomly throughout the day, I'm also breaking out on my forehead here and there - I know no birth control is 100% effective... but has anyone been on Depo and experienced this? Is is just what Depo is like ? Does it sound like I'm pregnant? I'm having my husband bring me home a test today but I was just curious as I have never been on Depo before now and don't really know it's ins and outs. Thanks

well.. I am 27 and have been on birth control since I was 19. I've never really had a "normal" period.. I started getting a raised blood pressure around 2006-2007 and was put on Dyazide (diuretic) which seemed to work alright. In 2008 it got a little higher and I was taken off birth control. It didn't bother me so much because I became regular for the first time ever! I had a regular 4-6 day period each month. When I off my BCP before I didn't have a period at all, of course I did switch BCP because I noticed I was not acting the same.. It went fine until this past August when I stopped again.. I then started having cramps in the end of December and it became on and off through Dec till now. When I say on and off, it's been more on than off. Its been horrible having chronic PMS for several months non-stop with no relief, I've also noticed I have acne breaking out all over my face and back. My hair has been coming out for over a year and stopped but recently has come back with vengeance lol I started bleeding over 2 weeks ago and haven't stopped. I'm now going back on Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo and Metformin as well as diuretic and metoprolol. Is anyone else taking these medicines? Is there a chance of me becoming pregnant while taking Metformin and BCP? or if I miss a pill? I would really like to not use BCP but I don't know if I will ovulate without it? right now I have the if it happens attitude as well as my partner :) I was just curious if it is possible, Also I would like to have a period without BCP will Metformin help with that? I'm just really looking for other's input as well as what to expect when I start taking Metformin. I guess secretly I would love to get pregnant but I think if I try I would just end up getting overly stressed about it. I'm focusing on trying to regulate myself right now and try and get healthier :)

I am 27 weeks pregnant. For the past week I've been having period-like cramps and along with the cramps also nausea, dizziness, backaches and sorry for the TMI: diarrhea. I just wanted to know if any of you mommies are or have experienced this in your pregnancy. If so what was it? I would very much appreciate the advice. BTW I have a doctors appt tomorrow to check for the low lying placenta. See if its moved up or not. I will ask my doctor about this tomorrow.

i am pregnant. would a doctor be able to tell if i got pregnant june 27th, 2009? i had my lmp on july 9th, 2009 and has a transvaginal ultrasound at 9 weeks sayin my last lmp was july 7th. Only 2 days off and a due date of april 14th, 2010 so would a doctor be able to clearly tell the difference?

Okay so I've been on the depo shot for about 9 months. The end of March is when I need a new shot. In Feb I think the 13th or 14th my boyfriend and I had unprotected sex and he was really deep in me when he "you know". That was over three weeks ago and, the past week and a half I've been having these signs: Frequent urination, Cramps, Gas, Headache, Dizziness,Cold/Flu-like Symptoms [Runny nose, coughing, Sneezing],Fatigue,Increased Cervical Fluid, Backache,Tummy aches, and side aches, [Tummy and side is around my hips]. Could I be pregnant? I do not get my period so I can't check for that. When I was having one it was from 20th-27th of every month. Please do not tell me to just wait and take a test I already know to do that. I'm asking for some stories from you ladies, Some of your signs Do you think I'm pregnant? What are my chances of being pregnant? I've been reading up on the depo shot and it says that it gives you false negs, So how will I know. Did it give anyone false negs too? How did you guys know you were pregnant while on it? Oh and about prenatal vitamins are one daily safe to take or do I need to stick with prenatal vitamins?

I'm 27 years old and have never missed a period. I recently lost 22 pounds (I went from 148 to 126 in a few weeks). I began to diet in January of this year. I had a pap last year and everything was normal. My last period was January 12th and have not got it since. I have only missed when I got pregnant with my kids and have always been regular. I have the copper IUD and have had it since 2007. I have never had a problem with it. I feel like I'm going to get my period and like I have PMS symptoms. I just want to know if this is normal, or if anyone has ever gone through this. I took a pregnancy test and it came out negative. I have a doctors appointment Wed. but I just want my period believe it or not! Someone answer Please. I cant take the PMS symptoms they are driving me crazy...

She and I have been best friends forever, we're 27, our moms were friends before they got pregnant with us. We haven't always been close and we usually don't confide in each other and she's a very self-centered person and I'm the shy one. About 6 weeks ago, we had a "fight"...I was on my way to her house, 30-45 min drive. I was 10 mins away and she texted me to cancel, saying she was going to see her friend who was sick, who lives farther away than I do. I was a little upset and I texted back that I have been depressed for 3 years (which is true) and she hasn't once reached out to me, but this person has the flu and they get flowers and a visit from her. The depression has affected me physically and mentally, I've lost a lot of weight and I'm just sad, we've hung out enough for her to notice the physical changes and she tried to say that she hadn't noticed and that I had never told her. Since this happened, she still hasn't called or tried to reach out to me. Am I wrong for still being upset over this or am I just crazy? (P.S. I'm already dealing with the depression part) I want an outsider's opinion.

Your Open QuestionShow me another » Am I really experiencing Pregnancy Symptoms? So, my last period was Feb. 11th and I have about a 29 day cycle. I am usually pretty regular with my periods, as well. The past week almost, I have not been feeling well at all. I have not had "morning sickness" to the point where I throw up, but I am queasy in the morning. I have light cramping in the lower part of my abdomen, and I've noticed that the pain alternates sides. This pain also comes and goes, but I have such an uncomfortable feeling. It hurts when I lay flat on my stomach (and I am a tummy sleeper!) and if I lay on my side, it hurts a bit. And overall I am one crabby woman! I find myself snapping at people for the tiniest thing! Of course I took a pregnancy test, but it was negative. Do you think maybe I have tested too early? Has this happened to anyone else? Oh! Also one more thing to add..that I never had with my past two pregnancies. I feel like my heart is fluttering. It skips a beat and feels like it is going to come out of my chest! It isn't often, but still something very strange. I am a little out of breath too :( So could I be pregnant and tested too early or just falling apart at the tender age of 27? Guys, thanks so much. All very helpful answers. I did a First Response late this morning. Negative :( :(

My period was due the 02/22 but it showed up on 02/27 for 3 dys when normally it lasts 5 dys. From the 02/17-02/22 I had light spotting but when it finally came it was just a medium/not normal flow. I've taken 2hpts & 1 pt at the doctors office and I'm going for a blood test this week, I'm just wondering what are the chances of my blood test being positive? The only symptoms I've had is fatigue, headaches, dizziness & a sh*t load of afternoon & night sickness to the point where I cant sleep at night or even stay at work. My fiance and I have been trying for abt 1yr & a half with no succes which makes me think I am infertile what am I to think or do besides WAIT on results from the doctor???

this is my third pregnancy. i am almost 27 weeks. i have an awful pain in my pelvic area and inner thigh. it is only on my left side. whenever i move or try to move should i say. once i put any weight whatsoever on my Right side (pain is on left) it is a shooting awful pain. the pain is constant but when i get the even worse shooting pain my leg actually gives and i fall to the ground. the doctor said probably just my sciatic nerve. i've had the stretching pains in this area before but nothing like this. he told me not to lift ANYTHING that this could make it worse. i have a 19 month old little girl and am a SAHM with no family around and my husband works 60+ hours a week. what am i suppose to do how can i control this pain. all day long i have literally been crawling on the floor because i can't stand or walk without falling. anyone else ever experience this? asked in pregnancy but no answers.

on feb 27 i started to have what i thought was the beginning of my period (it was really light bleeding, almost nothing was there..just a little bit of blood when a wiped). however, the rest of that day and the next i didn't bleed at all..anyways come march 1st i just decided to put a tampon on just in case i did start, well i was bleeding but i was super light. i usually have a normal period, that is somewhat heavy and last for at least 6 days..well this month my "period" was so light that only the tip of my tampon had blood, this is not normal for me..i thought maybe it would pick up but it never did, this lasted for about 3 days and ended the 3rd nite..i have been experiencing light cramps and this so called-period came a week early. what could this mean??

i left him now for the 2nd time while being pregnant. I am 27 and he is 38. We have been together for 3 yrs and since i got pregnant he has been acting like a jerk, I know we weren't ready financially and quite frank i dont think he wanted more chldren. he has a 16 yr old that he raised on his own. i really love him but he doesn't trust me and ever since he read my diaries that i wrote yrs ago he has been accusing me of so many things. He is ver insecure. he said he never felt like this with anyone else. He invaded my privacy and i stood bk and forgave him for it while he has made conclusions of my life on his own. He asked me once about things and this was at the very beginning and i didnt think that i needed to confess my past to him- i didnt even know him well. We did move in together too quickly at the beginning and even after all we lasted 3 yrs. I have been fighting for this relationship so much while he has done nothing but stand back and accused me of all these things i dont even want to repeat. He once told me that i made the mistake in not admitting to all the accusations bc he claims he is very intuitive and that he knows that everything is true. I have never done anything to hurt him during our realtionship- i have been nothing but loyal to him. i made mistakes in the past which have nothing to do with our future and he has done a lot more things and i never question him for it nor do i care. I am now pregnant and i left him the 2nd time bc i could not deal with all the stress of his drinking and coming and going as he pleased not spending any time with me. I am almost due and he decided that he could not be the person that he has to be with me and that he will never trust me. I haven't done anything to him but love him. What does it take for him to see that? I am devastated and moved in with parents in a city that i hate 2hrs away from him. I left him with the idea that he would change and smarten up and realize things instead he has decided we won't work bc of his own insecurities. We spoke a few weeks ago and we got back together 2x and each time he called bk to tell me that he was doing alot of thinking and that maybe it wasnt a good idea. He finally decided to end things as i mentioned and said it was for the best that he wasn't confused anymore. Help is he going to change his mind? His 2nd child is on her way and i have no idea how to prove him wrong of all the accusations.

The birth control I was on allowed me to only have a period every 3 months. My last period was Jan 5I took my last birth control pill Feb 25 1 week before the pack ended. My husband and I had intercourse the 26,27 & 28. on March 3 and 4 I had a brownish (like old blood) discharge, only enough to wear a pantie liner. Ive had that happen before but would immediately turn into my cycle. Ive had lower abdomen cramps along with tightness and fullness. Could I be pregnant this early??? My husband and I are wanting a child, so i don't know if these are real symptoms or my mind playing tricks on me.

She is 23 months old and doesn't understand the potty thing yet but all she does is take off her diaper before she crawls into bed then pees it. I have to change her sheets every day! I have tried to tape it on but she rips it off, I have also tried to put different articles of clothing on her but she still won't keep it on. What can I do? I'm 27 weeks pregnant and this has to stop because I am already exhausted with her!

These past couple of weeks my hormones have been going crazy and I am so confused as to whether or not I might be pregnant or if something else might be going on... First of all, I had a Pap smear and exam last month and all is well so I know I don't have "female problems". I have very regular, 29 day cycles and am pretty certain I ovulated on the 27th of February. For the past couple of weeks, I have been VERY emotional, tired, my breasts have been more sensitive off/on, have had headaches, tummy problems, and yesterday I had light brown spotting and more CM as well as light cramping (like I was about to start any minute) a full week before my period is due. As I have never spotted before prior to a period, I am much more curious. Now, please, serious answers only. Could this be pregnancy?

Ok so sent a question over when i was 7 days late asking for advice, now i am 12 days late with still negatives. I went to the doctors which they told me that i am most likely pregnant and to do another test which i did. here is what has happened. Me and my other half are trying to conceive but have the attitude it will happen when my body wants it to happen so we are not trying to get pregnant desperately. We had sex during my most fertile week which was the 11th feb until the 16th and we had sex every day during that week. I was supposed to be due on my period on the 27th 28th of feb 2010 (my cycles are 29 days and my last period started on the 31st of dec 2009) nothing happened. So i waited until i was 6 days late to do a pregnancy test and it was a bfn and it was the same at 10 days and again the same at 11 days. I went to the doctors when i was 9 days late and i told him of the symptoms i had which is: extreme tiredness waves of nausea mild cramps now and sorry guys but a lot of clear discharge. My boobs are not sore maybe a little swollen but they have quiet visible veins around them which they are normally not that visible. So he told me to do another test and at 10 days (which was the next morning) which i did and that came up negative. He also told me that some woman's HCG levels don't always show up but i thought he would at least say go and have a blood test done or do a urine test for me, I do have an thyroid problem which i am thyroxine for this has never messed with my periods but i am wondering whether any body has had a neg and then later on a had a positive because there hcg levels are low. I am not stressted at all just want my body to have a period so i can get my cycles back on tack so i can be heallthy for when i do get pregnant. I dont want any stupid answers just would like any advice from people who have been through this. Thank you Holly xxxx thanks guys, its just annoying me now doctors dont seem to want to help may go to a family planning clinic instead to see what they have to say and see if i can get a blood test done.

Ok so I'm 20 in case anyone is wondering if I'm too young to have a baby. anyways last month i started my period like February 20th i think. me and my boyfriend are trying to have a baby, we had unprotected sex starting from Feb. 27th through march 8th all straight days through except for one. and my time to ovulate was last week. and every time we had sex he cum in me and i had an orgasm every time, sometimes even 3 times during one day of sex and the other days its like 1 or 2 times. so does anyone think i could most likely be pregnant? we're hoping i am. but my period to start is around march 19th through the 23rd is when it most likely around the time i should start. so also another question could i take a pregnancy test this week even though its only been all last week that we had sex? please if anyone can answer my question and let me know I'd really appreciate it. thanks

i had my period on Feb 17 and got off Feb 22. I had intercourse Feb 24-27 and i ovulate on March 2, which i had sex that day also on March 4th and 6th ANYWAYS my nipples are sore and its not time for my period yet What do you think my chance are pregnant, also do you think i am pregnant, and when should i take a test. should i wait two weeks or a missed period p.s. this was unprotected sex

Well, I'm due tomorrow (well, it will be tomorrow in 45 minutes), March 9th and I'm just really frustrated. I was told all throughout the pregnancy this one was going to be premature, they hammered it into me that I needed to be looking out for labor signs as early as 25 weeks. My history: Had my first child at 27 weeks, but he died an hour later, and then I had 2 miscarriages over a span of about 4-5 months, and then got pregnant with this one 4 months after the last second miscarriage. So yeah. Anyway, I'm 'technically' only 38 weeks. But they changed my due date because of her size at both of my US, so really, 40 weeks (on the 9th). I've been having BH contractions since I was like 20 weeks or something, and yesterday I started getting more and more within a short time frame. But they're only lasting like 3 or 4 seconds each, argh. I just needed some place to vent, because it feels like it's been dragging on and on. And everyone keeps asking me when I'm going to have her, because like I said, we all expected her to be preemie. And my husband is worried he'll be at work when I finally start getting lasting contractions, and my SIL is so scared she'll be the only one home. Which is a possibility, since it's just me and her from 3PM until 8PM or sometimes even later. And she's only 14, so of course she panics a bit. Anywho..yep, that's about it. Lol, I put that it would be tomorrow in 45 minutes. Well, 38 now. As in, in 38 minutes, then I will be due tomorrow. xD I'm staying up late, waiting for my hubby to get home from work... Oh yeah, and I also want to add that I walked A LOT yesterday, more than I have probably in the last 4 months, since they put me on bedrest once I hit 20 weeks.

I'm 27 weeks pregnant and the further along it's gone the less interested in sex my husband has become. We have both discussed many different things and cant figure it out. It's bothering both of us. Any suggestions to help change things for our relationship?? PS...this is my husband losing sex drive, no me! LOL

I was suppose to have my period march 4 my last one was feb 4 but It hasn't come yet and i have been having cramps on and off for a few days. Me and my boyfriend had sex for the first time together on feb 27 he did not cum in me but im not sure about the pre cum. Since then I have gotten dizzy many headaches, i pee very often and sometimes not alot i get stomach pains i feel like i have 2 eat more and I almost got sick from the smell of mc donalds. I think its very possible but I am trying 2 wait another week before I take a test. thorgh i dont have sore breast could I be pregnant?

I had my period on Feb 17 and got off Feb 22. I had intercourse Feb 24-27 and i ovulate on March 2, which i had sex that day also on March 4th and 6th ANYWAYS my nipples are sore and its not time for my period yet What do you think my chance are pregnant, also do you think i am pregnant, and when should i take a test. should i wait two weeks or a missed period

I had sex last Saturday night and the condom split (27th Feb) and my period is due Monday 8th March. Im usually 2 or 3 days early, and now im getting myself in a tizz because it hasnt shown, and no tell tale symptoms to let me know its on its way... what have I done?? Im worrying myself stupid here.... :-(

April 27 but I think Im farther along because I literally got pregnant a month after going off the pill and my period was on and off so I dont even know if that was my period therefore I dont know if thats actually my due date. Ive been having a lot of pressure down there like he is pushing down and plus Ive been peeing more and all so I think he has dropped or began dropping. They measured his head with the ultrasound machine and said he was in the 70th percentile which is alittle above average. Im just wondering if I may be due sooner.

I'm 27 weeks pregnant and although it feels like i've got soo long left to go i'm getting scared and depressed, im only 20 and not with the babyfather i'm just scared about how majorly my life will change and things will never be the same like my mum an family are really ecited and supportive but it feels like everyone around me is excited for me except for me....i got too much on my mind.... anybody else young and been through the same experience?? help ppl :( i decided not to get an abortion because i already had one before and it tore me aparrt an i swore i'd never do it again.......

Okay. My last period was January 27 and it finished around the 31st. I haven't had my period as of yet (March 7). My cycle is usually 30-32 days long. I feel as if I may be a week late. I took a pregnancy test on March 5th. It came out negative. I was wondering when I should retest? Or if I should? I would love to be pregnant but I'm scared that I'm missing my period for another reason. Do you think I should retest? and how soon should I take another test? Thanks.

Ok...so i had my last period on the 27th Jan and i was due on the 24th Feb give or take a couple of days i took a pregnancy test on the 26th and it said it was positive i showed my sister just to make sure my eyes weren't deceiving me making me see what i want to see and she said it was positive but over the last week i've had some bleeding really faint bleeding..kinda like watercolor paints if that makes sense? then about 2hours ago *it's 6.55pm here now* i started bleeding heavily now i figured 11days overdue and a pregnancy test confirming i'm pregnant it can't be my period so yeah i'm just really stressed right now cause hubby left this morning and wont be home till july/august and i'm not telling him any news till i get a confirmed answer

Good day, I'm a 27 year old engineer. I'm usually very quiet and reserved, hence my decision to abstain until marriage. I come from a strong family and i do not wish them to be disgraced, harmed or embarssed in any way. I have read numerous forum threads regarding this, but this forum seems to be the most competent, so I'll ask away. I know you guys and gals must get this a lot, so here goes: I've been seeing this girl. Nice girl. Good family background, also waiting to abstain until marriage. 2 weeks ago, we were watching a movie at her apartment, and we started kissing. Our kissing got a little out of hand, and as you can imagine, passion was flying. I did touch my genitals, but didn't seem to note any pre - ejaculate (as you might say... PRE ***). I then proceeded to rub her vagina (as, well, her hymen was still intact, and she wanted to keep it that way), I did slightly fold back the labia, but nothing more. We kinda stopped after a few minutes and we both felt very guilty about it. I didn't ejaculate, neither did she orgasm, although i noted a few secretions on my fingers after we stopped. A few hours later, after i had left her apartment, she told me that she had gotten her period and was wondering why she didn't have any PMS signs. If you must ask, no I didn't masterbate for several weeks prior to that event (a guy's busy... can't exactly do things like that as much as high school, hehe). Can anyone please tell me if she is at risk for pregnancy or is going to be pregnant, assuming i got a small amount of pre-ejaculate on my fingers? Thank you for taking the time to read this thread...I anxiously wait for your expert opinions.
