How do you know if you're preggy?

Question

BEcause I feel like crap, and my lower stomach hurts, and I'm 4 days late.. But I'm to scared to ask for a test.. Help please.

Answer 1

TAKE A HOME PREGGO TEST!

Answer 2

If you are only 4 days late, you would only be around 2 weeks pregnant, so you would have very few symptoms at this stage.
I've not heard of lower stomach pain during early pregnancy, could it be pms?
Go and get a home test kit and find out for sure, you'll be happier once you know.

Answer 3

Implantation Bleeding:
Implantation bleeding can be one of the earliest pregnancy symptoms. About 6-12 days after conception, the embryo implants itself into the uterine wall. Some women will experience spotting as well as some cramping.

Other Explanations: Actual menstruation, altered menstruation, changes in birth control pill, infection, or abrasion from intercourse.

Delay/Difference in Menstruation:
A delayed or missed menstruation is the most common pregnancy symptom leading a woman to test for pregnancy. When you become pregnant, your next period should be missed. Many women can bleed while they are pregnant, but typically the bleeding will be shorter or lighter than a normal period. This symptom is commonly explained by other reasons. If you have been sexually active and have missed a period, it is recommended that you take a test: Order my pregnancy test

Other Explanations: Excessive weight gain/loss, fatigue, hormonal problems, tension, stress, ceasing to take the birth control pill, or breast-feeding.

Swollen/Tender Breasts:
Swollen or tender breasts is a pregnancy symptom which may begin as early as 1-2 weeks after conception. Women may notice changes in their breasts; they may be tender to the touch, sore, or swollen.

Other Explanations: Hormonal imbalance, birth control pills, impending menstruation (PMS) can also cause your breasts to be swollen or tender.

Fatigue/Tiredness:
Feeling fatigued or more tired is a pregnancy symptom which can also start as early as the first week after conception.

Other Explanations: Stress, exhaustion, depression, common cold or flu, or other illnesses can also leave you feeling tired or fatigued.

Nausea/Morning Sickness:
This well-known pregnancy symptom will often show up between 2-8 weeks after conception. Some women are fortunate to not deal with morning sickness at all, while others will feel nauseous throughout most of their pregnancy.

Other Explanations: Food poisoning, stress, or other stomach disorders can also cause you to feel queasy.

Backaches:
Lower backaches may be a symptom that occurs early in pregnancy; however, it is common to experience a dull backache throughout an entire pregnancy.

Other Explanations: Impending menstruation, stress, other back problems, and physical or mental strains.

Headaches:
The sudden rise of hormones in your body can cause you to have headaches early in pregnancy.

Other Explanations: Dehydration, caffeine withdrawal, impending menstruation, eye strain, or other ailments can be the source of frequent or chronic headaches.

Frequent Urination:
Around 6-8 weeks after conception, you may find yourself making a few extra trips to the bathroom.

Other Explanations: Urinary tract infection, diabetes, increasing liquid intake, or taking excessive diuretics.

Darkening of Areolas:
If you are pregnant, the skin around your nipples may get darker.

Other Explanations: Hormonal imbalance unrelated to pregnancy or may be a leftover effect from a previous pregnancy.

Food Cravings:
While you may not have a strong desire to eat pickles and ice cream, many women will feel cravings for certain foods when they are pregnant. This can last throughout your entire pregnancy.

Other Explanations: Poor diet, lack of a certain nutrient, stress, depression, or impending menstruation.

I wouldn't sweat it yet. Trust me I am a mother of 3....I know the signs. Alot of women have different signs and symptoms of pregnancy, the most common is late period and tender breasts. Your craps and stomach pains could just be from stress. Wait another week or so. If your still late or your boobs begin to hurt, then I would get a test.Good luck!!!

Answer 5

are you four days late from when you had it last month or four days late from your average. because my girlfriend had the same problem but it turns out that your only realy late besed on the month before.EX: she had started her period on the 20th of january which was 3 days later than in december and then she had her february one 5 days later on the 25th of feb. she thought she was over a week late because she the 16-18 was her average but it turned out she was only 5 days late because it is based on the month before. so give it a few days untill you get realy worried and if you miss then go ahead and take a test its not hard to ask you just gotta say to yourself "id rather get embarrased askin for a test then be surprised by being pregnant" i mean i have gone in and baught a home test for my girl because she was scared to but i made her come with me and she realized it wasnt so bad. so just buy a test if you skip and also stress can cause your perod to fluxuate and if you think your pregnant than your bound to be stressed. Just chill out and wait.
