Could I be pregnant?

Question

I think I am, then I talk myself out of it ...?
I have irregular periods. The last 5 months have been very regular. I had a period around Dec 7th. Im not on birth control per doctors orders so I use ovulation test to make sure before having intercourse. The last time we did anything the test was negative for ovulation. Weeks later feeling moody, nausea, etc. Then week and a half later started my period. It started Dec 29th. It has been quite a bit lighter than average and pretty much painless, minus the gassy pain. Which is not normal. I haven't had any cramps, usually they feel like im in labor again. (Correct me if im wrong but isn't the clots that come out part of the linning?) Only two very tiny clots came out. Ive been feeling similar symptoms to my last pregnancy. Ive been told that you can hope and obsess about pregnancy to the point where you have symptoms. The thing is, we're not trying to concieve, and this would be an unexpected one at that. What do any of you think? Thanks!

I have taken 3 home tests. They were all negative. But they were from the dollar store. Does that make a difference?

Answer 1

All I can tell you is to test. I'm in my own conception nightmare right now. I was sure I was pregnant 2 months ago (all the signs), but wasn't. I've also been having irregular periods since we started ttc (was regular before). So I really do believe that wanting too much can screw up your body. Test once a week for the next month and see how it goes.

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.

Pregnancy tests are like soda: they cost pennies to manufacturer, but the resale markup is huge. In this case, the low price really is a great deal! Many women have reported accurate early detection with these $1 bargains. I have experimented with many of them myself and have never seen a false positive. Some have faint evaporation lines, but most tests do. So long as you know what an evap line looks like and how it differs from a true positive, save your money and shop at Dollar Tree!

Talk with your dr., he will be the only person that I would finally calm my feelings.

Answer 4

That depends on what you like to hear. Looks like you want a 'No" answer.

But, the best I could come up with is a 'may be'. Your age is a factor. People do get periods, irregular may be, even though they are carrying a baby. Stranger things have happened.

I wish I could be more encouaging. But can't. Without further tests it is impossible to tell.

One thing for sure - if you are preg, it is not my doing. LoL.

Answer 5

If you have sex, it's possible to be pregnant. Ovulation tests are not 100% sure that you aren't ovulating, even though most doctors would love for you to think so. Best way to know for sure is to get a pregnancy test if you haven't done so already.

Answer 6

No unless she has another unfertilized egg that was left in the tube from the last ovulation. Very rare though. Women CAN'T get pregnant again while pregnant though. Although if you heard of fraternal twins its possible to happen that way. Good luck.

Answer 7

Sounds like you could be. Take a pregnancy test.
