Am I pregnant?

[icy1liz]

I'm hoping someone can help me out...I am a healthy 28 year old. I recieved my normal 5 day cycle period last March 4 2010. It is now April 26th and still no period! I have been so so bloated and having cramps just like i would normally have when im expecting AF but worse, and the cramps and bloating are every day for the last 2 or 3 weeks on and off. The cramps and extreme bloating have subsided a few days ago but still feel a bit bloated. I have had a very regular cycle my entire life and have only been on birth control once about 4 years ago and stayed on it for only a few weeks (it wasn't for me)...me and my fiance are hoping i am expecting, but i took 2 pregnancy test and one has a very faint line (although i didn't check it until after the 10 min mark because i was drinking that night and the line was so faint it may have gone unnoticed before the 10 min mark) , the other negative. I spotted very lightly on the 20th of April- like 4 tiny tiny red blood dots on toilet paper and i am so scared/nervous to take another pregnancy test because i don't want it to say negative again!!! I don't really have any other pregnancy symptoms except Im a little turned off by eating any food really...and some mood swings..and i have noticed quite a bit of discharge like i never had before. I feel like AF is coming every day but she has not arrived... I want to go to doctor for the blood test but no insurance and rather wait a while because ive read everywhere on these forums that the HCG hormones may be too low in my urine to test still... So many woman are having the same problem out there and I hope it won't take 2 or 3 months before I learn I am actually prego too! Any advice out there for me? This is absolutely driving me CRAZY!!!  Could I really be pregnant?

I had one test say no on a Saturday and then on Thursday it said definately yes.  I like First Response.  It has never told me wrong ;-)  I would give it a couple of days and then take one.  My experiences with pregnancy never had bloating as a symptom, but everyone is different.

Even though you dont want to take another pregnancy test because you are afraid of the negative you still really should. If you are indeed already pregnant you should be taking prenatal vitamins already for yours and your babies health. It is weird that you missed a period. A friend of mine never got a positive pregnancy test at home, even after she had already found out at her doctors. Good luck to you and I hope you get your positive =)

I say take another test.  If you had one that looked positve, then there is a chance it is.  Some tests are more sensitive than others, and sometimes the urine is more concentrated than at other times.  With your period being that late and having some symptoms, it is a possibility that you are pregnant.  If you are not pregnant, then I really think that you should go to the doctor because these things can signify other problems.  So, make it easier on yourself and rule out pregnancy.  Hopefully it will be positive!!!  You can post a pic of your test on here if you are uncertain.  We all have super duper HPT eyes!  

Good luck and super sticky baby dust!
