I know it's difficult to wait... but go to the OB/GYN on the 10th. They can do the necessary tests, plus counsel you depending on the outcome.
The ER is not for this purpose; they'll refer you to the OB anyway unless there is some other urgent problem you're not disclosing.

Lightheaded, fatigue, bloated, and crampy are not only symptoms of pregnancy but also pms. Are your periods usually that short? That period that started on December 19th, did it show up earlier than usual? It could've been implantation bleeding. When did you take the 4 hpts? Maybe it was too early to detect any hcg(pregnancy hormone) when you took them. Don't go to the ER unless your symptoms are really that bothersome. I know it's hard to be patient when you suspect pregnancy, but you have to have some patience until January 10th.

No, unless you are in alot of pain or bleeding extremely heavily.
pregnancy tests(over the counter pee tests) have a very high accuracy rate. And because you bled a little doesn't mean that it wouldn't show up in the test. A pregnancy test measures pregnancy hormones in the urine. Has nothing to do with bleeding or not. If you are that anxious. You can usually get into a woman's clinic that specifically does pregnancy tests. Planned parenthood. Family planning etc etc. Relax....perhaps your symptoms are caused by being stressed and worried about being pregnant or not. Again if you experience extreme pain or profuse bleeding( one pad every hour or less). Than go to the emergency room. Until then...get your jammies on and a heating pad..a bowl of your fave. ice cream and watch a chick flick. Take care of yourself until you can see your Doctor.
PS...if you were having a tubal pregnancy you would get a positve pregnancy test.

hmmmm...It is definitely not 'stupid'....the ER is 'primarily' for Emergency &/Or 'Urgent' situations. I'm not 'downplaying' your situation, however. I would call the OB/GYN Dep't tomorrow. Ask 2 speak 2 an Advice Nurse, or your specific Dr.'s Nurse, or the Manager of the Dep't. Someone, somewhere needs to see you sooner. The ER may or may not have the OB SPecialist there, etc. If u have access to an Advice Nurse on the telephone, thru your HealthCare Provider, I would Strongly Encourage you 2 Call Them...tonite if possible. If u stay persistent, & try as best u can, 2 b nice 2 them...& keep gently pressing to 'up' the ladder...as it were...It would B good if U could B seen tomorrow....

Home pregnancy test will not show an acurate reading until after the 1st missed period. There is a test that your doctor can do that can pick it up before this but you have to ask specifically for that test. Could you just have a stomach virus?

the tests are looking for a specific chemical in your blood, created by the body, when there is a fetus or new object in the body, many woam do spot while pregnant, so it doesn't really matter there, but if the tests are coming back negative, the chemicals are not there, or are to small to detect yet, wait a couple weeks, and check again, there is a time frame for it

yes it would be stupid because the home pregnancy test are extremely accurate and if you bleed at all you most likely not pregnant. also if you go to the er it will cost you a minimum 500 dollars just for the visit . wait untill the 10th.

its not an emergency so i wouldnt go to the er but if you had bleeding for 3 days probly was your period just a light one its normal to have periods lighter than others. and 4 negitive tests id say not pregnant but if your trying to get pregnant keep trying but if your not trying then get on bc pills. but if your pregnant youll still be pregnant jan 10th so thats not really going to change anything. but i think your not pregnant.

Well, not really, because if you WERE pregnant and it happened to be tubal (aka: ectopic), it may not show positive on your HPT and you may not be able to make it to the hospital without it turning into an emergency.
Lightheaded is something that is never normal, so myself, if it was that bothersome to where you felt you were going to faint, I'd present at the ER.

Make a doctors appointment and get a preganacy test.
I don't think you would have to go to the Emgerancy Room....
Unless your in a lot of pain and such.
Good luck :]
