I am two days late for my period, so I decided to take a pregnancy test today it was neg.?

Question

My husband and I have had unprotected sex this month and of course there is a possibility of pregnancy or not being pregnant. I know periods can be late and that was another reason I didn't pay much attention but today I started feeling a little nausea but at the sametime I was cramping a little everynow and then(no blood associated). I just want to know what if I should test or not again. Im not stressing out about it I just want to start prenatal care if I am pregnant. Any suggestions on what to do from here?

Answer 1

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.

Wait a few more days and test again. I had neg. pregnancy tests for weeks (although I seem to be the exception not the rule - my blood test at 6 weeks was negative but two weeks later my blood work showed I was 8 weeks pregnant) Cramping as you know can mean either early pregnancy or period onset so that doesn't say much and, well, as for the nausea...with the holidays and all I'm sure it could be a flu bug...or of course it could be morning sickness. Sorry I'm not tons of help! All I can say is give it a few days and retest, if that test is neg and you still don't start then see your doctor asap to get checked and rule out any other potential problems. Good luck!

Answer 3

You should give it a little more time. Get one of those pregnancy tests that detect the hormone variant early, like ept. The nausea and cramping may be a sign of pregnancy or it can be your mind playing tricks on you. It sounds crazy I know, but it happened to me once. I would say give it 2 or 3 days and take a test again. Make sure you test early in the morning. The hormone that determines pregnancy has higher levels in the morning and it's easily detected. Good Luck!

Answer 4

If there's any chance you might be getting pregnant soon, you should consider starting to take your prenatal vitamins anyway and getting into a pre-natal state of being. Do a blood test, which can detect lower levels of the pregnancy hormone progesterone, as the reagents used are much more sensitive to the presence of progesterone. Remember that with the over-the-counter test kits, you CAN get a false negative, but there's no such thing as a false positive: if the pregnancy hormone is detected - you're pregnant.

Answer 5

I wouldn't celebrate with a bottle for new years if i were you. Just give it a week and test again with a good quality test like ept or clear blue easy. NOT Digital, they dont show the hormones as early as the regular ones do. Good luck to you both!!!

Answer 6

It seems like your stressing out even though you claim your not just wait about a week before you take another test if your period doesn't show go to the doctor and ask them to do a blood test.
