Scared to take a pg test...?

Question

A little background on me...I have been married to my husband for a little over a year, I am 21 years old and don't have any medical problems to speak of. With that said...

I have been on bc pills for two years. I recently came off them back in August. Since then I have had only one period, and that was the first week of November. Since I came off the pills, everytime is unprotected.

For the past couple of weeks I have been having cramps in my lower abdomen and I have been tired but can't sleep very much. I have also noticed that I have been able to smell my deodorant more and it makes me sick. (This started about a week ago.) I sometimes feel queasy when the cramping occurs, but it's never severe at all...more like just being blah or uncomfortable. Also, my boobs don't seem to be sore.

I don't know if I'm reading too much into these feelings, or what...

I'm going to get a hpt tomorrow.

Hi Honey, here are some symptoms of pregnancy, check them and then see your doctor

Tender, swollen breasts
One of the early signs of pregnancy is sensitive, sore breasts caused by increasing levels of hormones. The soreness may feel like an exaggerated version of how your breasts feel before your period. Your discomfort should diminish significantly after the first trimester, as your body adjusts to the hormonal changes.

Fatigue
Feeling tired all of a sudden? No, make that exhausted. No one knows for sure what causes early pregnancy fatigue, but it's possible that rapidly increasing levels of the hormone progesterone are contributing to your sleepiness.

You should start to feel more energetic once you hit your second trimester, although fatigue usually returns late in pregnancy when you're carrying around a lot more weight and some of the common discomforts of pregnancy make it more difficult to get a good night's sleep

Nausea or vomiting
If you're like most women, morning sickness won't hit until about a month after conception. (A lucky few escape it altogether.) But some women do start to feel queasy a bit earlier. And not just in the morning, either — pregnancy-related nausea and vomiting can be a problem morning, noon, or night.

About half of women with nausea feel complete relief by the beginning of the second trimester. For most others it takes another month or so for the queasiness to ease up.

Increased sensitivity to odors
If you're newly pregnant, it's not uncommon to feel repelled by the smell of a bologna sandwich or cup of coffee and for certain aromas to trigger your gag reflex. Though no one knows for sure, this may be a side effect of rapidly increasing amounts of estrogen in your system. You may also find that certain foods you used to enjoy are suddenly completely repulsive to you.

Abdominal bloating
Hormonal changes in early pregnancy may leave you feeling bloated, similar to the feeling some women have just before their period arrives. That's why your clothes may feel snugger than usual at the waistline, even early on when your uterus is still quite small.

Frequent urination
Shortly after you become pregnant, you may find yourself hurrying to the bathroom all the time. Why? Mostly because during pregnancy the amount of blood and other fluids in your body increases, which leads to extra fluid being processed by your kidneys and ending up in your bladder.

This symptom may start as early as six weeks into your first trimester and continue or worsen as your pregnancy progresses and your growing baby exerts more pressure on your bladder.

A missed period
If you're usually pretty regular and your period doesn't arrive on time, you'll probably take a pregnancy test long before you notice any of the above symptoms. But if you're not regular or you're not keeping track of your cycle, nausea and breast tenderness and extra trips to the bathroom may signal pregnancy before you realize you didn't get your period.

Your basal body temperature stays high
If you've been charting your basal body temperature and you see that your temperature has stayed elevated for 18 days in a row, you're probably pregnant

Good luck.

Answer 2

You need to look at this question this way ... if you are TOO SCARED to take a Pregnancy Test ... what in the world are you doing having Unprotected Sex (even if you are married!).

Get up and Get the Test done -- that way you will know for sure whether or not you are Pregnant, and from that point onwards you can plan appropriately.

One of the touchy subjects here is this: was it a Joint Decision to get of the Birth Control (or did you just one day decide to chuck them out)? If it was Not a Joint decision to start a family at this time -- is that the reason why you are Scared of the Pregnancy test?

Answer 3

You mean you didn't get a temperature rise after ovulation? And you are charting diligently, every day first thing before you get up? Then what makes you think you are 12 DPO? Or that ovulation occurred at all? If you mean you don't have a second shift, creating a triphasic pattern, many women don't get that even though they are pregnant.

Answer 4

The sooner you find out the better. If you are pregnant than you need to start seeing an obgyn so she can monitor you and your baby so you both stay healthy. If your not then you need to get back on the pill if you dont want to have a baby.

Answer 5

Same thing is happening to me. I have been trying to get pregnant and I have lower abdominal cramps too and no sign of period. Lets hope we are both pregnant. HAPPY CHRISTMAS!!!
