Question

i have a 28-day cycle. My husband and i observe ovulation skeds. My last menstruation was on August 30, 2006 so im supposed to have my next period on September 27, if nothing happens that is. But until now, it did'nt come yet. As to the symptoms to watch, i dont experience anything extraordinary except putting on some extra weight due to sudden boost in appetite, gassy tummy, some mild stomach and pelvic cramps and few white discharge. Yesterday morning, Oct 4 am, 7 days delayed, i took the test but it came out negative. Are you in the same situation? Have you been in the same situation? What happened? Did it turned out you are indeed pregnant? I plan to take the test again but i need to ask if i should wait for few more days? Or shouldnt i bother anymore? If yes, how many more days then? You can be honest, even if it means "false". Just need some stories to relate to. Call it anxiety but you know taking tests could also be very disappointing specially when your trying for months now.

Answer 1

I know only a few things about this. I know that white discharge is a form ovulation and CAN be but not definitely a sign of pregnancy. The extra weight with the increased appetite can be you stressing out from all this and mentally making yourself think your pregnant. Now tests can and have been wrong but 90% aren't. The best thing to do is go to the doctor and get tested. Instead of trying to read all of these CONFUSING signs ( I know i have been there) you just need a yes or no so you can deal with it from there. Stress can make you be late as well as sudden weight gain. So, there are soooo many if ands , and buts that it;s not worth thinking over any more. Just go get the test done by a doctor. You can get them done fairly cheap at a free clinic if that is the case. So i hope you are blessed with peace of mind either way.

Answer 2

Good morning, Have you been this late before? It could possibly be that you are to Early to tell if you took one yesterday I would wait 1 week (between 5 -7 days) and then try another test. I have had test tell me no before and a week or so later tell me yes you are. It may just be to early to detect the hormone. Cramps, discharge, appetite changes are all symptoms they were for me. But also look for sore breast even a little, being tired and mood changes, nausea but theses may not start right away. It could take symptoms some time before coming out and some woman only get one or two. wait a bit and try again. Hope I have helped in some way.

Well written, good use of rhetocial questions, and publishable for student magazine especially with tight deadline. But if you have time to edit here goes: I'm trying to follow your initial argument that the media has begun to alter our sense/ view of the ideal. Questions that need clarification. Did we have an ideal before the media took over? When did the media take over/ start taking over? Not convinced by the argument that slim was the ideal during war-time rations. Certainly in some 'third world' countries, volulptuousness and chubbiness is the ideal for people who don't have enough to eat. I would have thought it would have been the same during the war. What do you think? That would fit in with your premise that we used to idolise voluptuoussness eg. Monroe. An earlier example would be Garbo. The first skinny role model after the war (WW2) was Audrey Hepburn, but by that time America /Europe were pretty affluent. So at times of affluence, is the ideal skinniness? (And also a money spinner for the weight loss industry?) It might help you to split up the paragraphs with subject headings (even if you delete them before publication) just to make sure you are following your line of argument. Finally, do you answer the question you set at the beginning ie. do we lose ourselves in the process (of attaining the ideals dictated by the media)? Even though many of your questions are rhetorical, it's only fair to the reader that the initial question be answered. Hope that sort of helps.

Answer 4

I know all about the disappointment as my husband I tried for 4 years to have a baby and never could. If it were me, I would wait maybe another week and retest to make sure (if I hadn't started by then). Then if that test is negative, I would call my doctor so they could do a blood test. If that is negative, then your doctor can give you a pill to make you start (you take them for seven days and on or about the 7th day you will start ~ I done this also). I wish you all the luck in the world and pray that you are one day blessed with a healthy baby!

I also use to get the "pregnancy" symptoms when I was late and would start wondering if i was or not. My doctor told me that when a woman really wants a baby, that her body can give off false signs.

Answer 5

I was in this situation. Every test I took came out negative. I ended up goin to the dr and having a blood test done and thats is the only test that showed positive. If you are pregnant the test should show it, if a 2nd test still says negative and you think you are pregnant, go to the dr and have him do a blood test. When my tests did this i found out i was pregnant and got very excited, began telling everybody and a week later I miscarried so sometimes it's best that we don't push the issue. It isn't so hard to handle if you never know that you were pregnant. Good luck!

Answer 6

Sometimes if you worry to much about getting pregnant that can get inthe way because of the stressing that you are doing. You should try right before your period or right after, that is what someone told me. I have a child but we did not "plan" for her- and she was conceived right before my period was due- I still got that months period and like spotting for 24hours the next month but then nothing else- my boyfriend knew I was pregnant before I did actually. I think I may be pregnant agin now but I was not really trying for it though. Also, I read on the internet that the position and time of day and the moods also can be a factor, I am not sure how true it is but I guess try to be worry free. In short, have fun when you are...getting extra close with your man and try not to think about conceiving andf just enjoy the moments, before, during and after. You will be less stressed and give your body a better chance to conceive.

The other option- try fertility drugs but look out!!! You may end up with like 8 at one time!!!! :-)

Best of luck!!! Happy F***ing!!!!!!

Answer 7

If you are trying to conceive, the stress and anxiety and anticipation alone can cause you to be late, or in my case, miss all together, all with a negative result! I had always been told you could want pregnancy so much, you would have the symptoms, but a negative result. Some say this is bull crap, but for me personally, it wasn't. I had a three day period in July, and didn't have one at all in August. I just knew I was finally pregnant, but to no avail. I am not trying to burst your bubble, but I would hate for you to get your hopes up as high as I did, only to be let down. I am still trying, but all the best luck to you!

Answer 8

i had 3 pregnancy tests come back negative but i "knew" i was pregnant (2 were home tests and one was at a dr's office) when i had the 4th one done at the dr's office they said "this one came back weird too!" After just giving birth to a 2lb baby, i asked what they meant by too and what do they mean weird. They said the first one had a really light line so they told me negative and the second one came back with a half of a line with a circle at the end of it. Well i was pregnant even though the tests and the dr's office didn't agree with me. I knew both times (even if i didn't want to admit it with the first one) In your heart i bet you already know the answer to your question too. But tests can come back negative and you still be pregnant. I waited a week between each test.

Good Luck and Congratulations if you are!!!!

Answer 9

I'd say wait another five days or so, then take the test again. If it's negative again and you still haven't started your period, you should probably have a doctor do the test in his office, where sometimes they do blood tests instead of urine for more accuracy. You can look at your genitalia in a mirror. Pregnancy causes blood congestion in the area and will cause your genitalia to appear almost blue. This is one of the early signs of pregnancy that doctors use.

Answer 10

Maybe you should do some more studying before you try to take the test again. Your probably just late because of all the worrying about if you are preg. Try to chill out some and you'd be surprised what might happen.
