could anyone give me some advice?

Hello, I'm 24 years old and my last period was on 09/29/11. My cycles are about 26 days on average (shortest cycle was 22 days, longest was 33 days). I had unprotected sex on 10/13/11 as well as many other days after that. I have been extremely tired and my boobs have been really sore for about a week and half as well as experiencing cramping off and on for about a week and a half. I've also had a milky white discharge for almost a week. I've been trying to figure out when I ovulate, but I haven't been able to figure it out yet. Could I be pregnant? When should I take a test and does it sound like I could be pregnant?

when your period is late you can test, if you did concieve on the 13th i would wait a few more days to test... if its negative then wait till you would have for sure gotten your period to see if it shows... if you are trying to concieve it is best to already be taking prenatal vitamins so if you havent started them... you should... good luck

I took another test this morning and had a bit darker of a faint positive but it's definitely positive. I showed it to my boyfriend and he agreed and said he saw the line too. I have a Doctors appt monday so I will be able to confirm it then.

I took another test this morning and it looks the same. Still no period, so i will test again Friday. If I still haven't started by Monday then I am going to make a Dr. appt as that will be day 33.

I took a test today, it was the store brand knock off of first response. I think that there was a very very faint blue line. I am going to test again tomorrow morning as well as Friday morning and see if it gets any darker. we will see

I am going to keep testing until I either get a period or a positive test. I am not on any medications and I haven't had any dietary changes or changes in exercise or stressful events happen. I figure I will take a couple tests this week and if they are negative then next week I will follow up with my doctor for a blood test.

I am 24 and I was 3 days late and took a test. It came back negative. @ 7 days late I took 2 tests all negative. @ 15 days late they finally came back positive and the digital one was the easiest to read because the.ones with the lines were really light. My doc said the best time to get a for sure yes or no is at 14 days late. Also if your on thyroid meds you can miss a period. Not sure if you are just saying. So I would wait a lil while to test.

I thought about this some more last night and talked it over with my boyfriend. I am going to take 1 test on Wednesday which will be day number 28, then I will take another Friday which will be day 30. If both of those come back negative and I still  haven't started my period by Monday then I am going to make a doctors appointment.

Thank you for your response. I don't know exactly when my period is going to start as it is different every month. Friday will be day 30 for me, so I think I will take a test then. :)
