My friend and I are looking from answers from people, women mostly, who have been in this situation.
Megan, my friend, has missed a period, or I should say, is missing one right now. She's taken one pregnancy test, a few days before Christmas, and the result was negative. The problem is because her body is so irregular, and she's under some stress right now, we're not sure when her period was supposed to come. We've counted back from when she thinks her last period was, and it should be around now.
As soon as she wakes up today, we're planning for her to take the second pregnancy test. We looked it up on the internet and found that the First Response test has the most accurate chance of catching the HCG hormone 4 days BEFORE her missed period.
She has all of the signs of early pregnancy: tender but not swollen breasts, hungry often, tired all the time, dizzy spells, a slight cramping in her uterus, and she spotted about a week ago for less than a day.
What are your opinions?

Her periods are irregular because of chronic urinary tract infections, or so she says.
Also, we're thinking that even if she is pregnant and takes a test, it might be too early to tell.

She could be pregnant, but her symptoms are also those of a menstrual cycle. Your friend definitely needs to take a First Response test and if that comes back negative she needs to see a GYN to determine why her periods are irregular. The doctor will most likely giver her hormone pills to regulate her cycle and then she will be to track it using a calendar or a website that I find helpful www.mymonthlycycles.com. Good luck and God bless!

You said yourself that she's irregular. Also, you've said she has the symptoms. I say she should wait another week or so. If her period is irregular it may be on its way still. Also, if someone thinks about the possibity of being pregnant enough they can convince themselves, and their bodies, that they really are. And this can results is symptoms even if they're really not pregnant. She needs to give her body some time.
Also, your friend needs to keep better track of her period. Write it down! That way she doesn't have to go off of what she "thinks" or "remembers".

Im going through the same thing as your friend. A blood test is really accurate unless you take it too soon. Make sure her period is missed then get a blood test done.

I suggest going to your local health department or doctor to get a test. Although the store bought ones are good the ones at the doctor are more accurate and plus they could do blood work to test for horomone levels. Good luck!

my opinion is da... if she has irregular periods then she won't know when she's suppose to get it. all the symptoms mean nothing because you can trick your body into thinking you are pregnant. I get tired, cramping, dizzy before my period anyway. I have gone 8 weeks before getting my period the stress will make if worse if you keep worrying.

These things can also happen due to stress, but I think the best solution is to go to the doctor or clinic and find out for sure.

I've been in this situation, and one time I was pregnant, and several times I wasn't. It could go either way. I've felt pregnancy symptoms and not been pregnant a couple times...Good luck to your friend,

The e book of Genesis, written via Abraham replaced into provided in parables. as an occasion, the earth and all issues have been created in seven days. there replaced into no calendar interior the beginning up, so what did sooner or later equivalent? Genesis replaced into written with the certainty of words of the Prophet Abraham's time. Adam and Eve have been accounted for, being first guy and conventional woman, and that they had greater desirable than 2 sons. Cain and Abel have been accounted by using homicide of one and the punishment of the different. What approximately brother Benjamin? Why replaced into he accounted for in Genesis? i could think of, although no longer documented, that incest wasn't an argument then by using fact the objective replaced into to be "fruitful and multiply". the nice and cozy button is this. build your faith in understanding that the international as all of us comprehend it replaced into created via somebody greater desirable than us. If we had all of the solutions, why bypass for the duration of the trial of existence, to show ourselves worth to be decrease back in His presence? someone could contemplate the flaws seen and unseen, tremendous and small, and intensely than ask why, bend your head and pray approximately it. learn your scriptures. The solutions are in there. build your faith that there is somebody greater desirable than guy.
