Pregnant?

[Gloria222]

My cycle is normally 28 days long. In the last year one cycle was 30 days. I got it in the morning of my 30th day. It’s my 30th day today and no sign of my period. My stomach feels a little bloated and this might sound strange but it feels like something could be growing inside of it. When I have my period I never feel bloated. I sometimes have headaches.

Has anyone else felt like this during the beginning of their pregnancy? I want to take a pregnancy test because I don’t like playing the waiting game.

Pretty much any symptom is possible in early pregnancy. The only way to know is to take a pregnancy test, but you might be a little too early to take one just yet.

I know it’s frustrating to wait, but nobody has uterus goggles.

Forget the guessing games.

Every single symptom, in regards to pregnancy, that you look up will seem to relate to you.

Cut out the middle man and get a pregnancy test. Go out tonight to a drug store and test first thing in the morning.

You’ll have your answer then.

Congrats if you are!

Everything about this response is right.

I can physically feel when I am pregnant well before a test is able to confirm it. A good friend of mine begins producing milk in the early stages of pregnancy, and it has been her pregnancy test for all seven of her kids! Another good friend of mine who was told she could never have kids didn’t find out she was pregnant until she was 7.5 months along–never felt a thing.

Wait and pray. I’ll pray for you too. And if in a couple of weeks you find out that you are expecting, congratulations!!

Okay can’t say much on early symptoms since I’m guy, but from co-teaching NFP and having a wife that in her 7th pregnancy I can tell you it is possible to see if you are pregnant now. Blood tests can detect pregancy as early as 8 days after conception or sensitive home pregancy tests can from 10-14 days after conception (a couple days before a missed period).

That being said there are a couple things to be aware of with testing this early. First not all home pregnancy tests are the same. Some of the cheaper ones cannot detect the pregnancy horomons this early. You need one of the more sensitive tests like EPT First response. Second is that it is possible to get more false reading this early. If the test is not sensitive enough it might show negative when the same test might show positive a couple days later. The extra sensitivity of some of the early detection test can catch what are sometimes referred to as chemical pregnancies. These are pregancies that result in miscarriage in the first couple days after implantation. Without the early test most women just think their period was delayed a couple days.

Hope some of that is useful to you.
