pregnant?

[starybunny]

so I missed my pd...it is about 4 days late. they have irregular since my first child so I was on BC for about a month or so. didn't really want to take them. anywho, I had a Aug and Sept period but missed Oct. I have been super Moody, back hurts all the time, I want to eat everything I see, and I'm craving garlic...

I'm freaked to take a hpt because they never work until I'm at least 8 weeks prego. low hormone levels. do u think there is a possibility I am pregnant or am I going insane?

[starybunny]

true :)

You could always see your doctor for beta blood testing---find out what your hCG levels are and then you would be able to go from there.

we are trying to get pegnant so really hope I am. :) no they aren't low forever...in fact I don't think I ever had them checked with my first child...weird but thank u...believe it or not I have tried every test out there before and they always came up negitive...oh well. thank u though :)

Hormone levels don't stay low forever--- in a pregnancy they double every 48 hours and most HPT are sensitive to pick up less than 20 mIU of hCG. If your levels are lower than this for 8 weeks your pregnancies would be close to medical miracles. Make sure to buy a good test (First Response is the best) and use it with first morning urine.

In regards to your question, if you're sexually active then YES you can be pregnant.
