could i be?

Question

i haven't had my period in just over a week like 9 days late. i don't want to buy a pregnancy test yet because they never seem accurate this early... many friends have taken a test after a week of being late and it came back negative only to find out they were pregnant.
i'm gonna go to the doctor as soon as i get settled on moving into my new house and get paid next week.
i have slight pains on my lower left side of my abdomen (near the ovary area)
i've been moodier than normal (says my bf)
and i've lost my appetite recently (only eating one meal a day)
are these pregnancy symptoms for this early or is it possible i could be about to have my period and i'm worrying about nothing?

i'm 20 btw and my bf is 23. we aren't really worrying about it til we have proof but i'm a girl and we all know girls worry about everything.

i haven't had sex since my birth control ran out january 19th. so wow 9 days ago lol.

not really morning sickness.
like tuesday or so i felt like i was gonna throw up but i was on and off feeling that all day then it stopped and went away. haven't felt it too much yet, unless i eat more than once a day. and i haven't had any alcohol in over a month. for no apparent reason. just haven't felt like drinking i guess.

Answer 1

it could be pregnancy, it could be stress from moving.. whatever it is im sure a pg test would be pretty acurate now. i took a dollar store test 3 days befor missedperiod and it came back poitive, my son is now 7 weeks old...either way good luck, (if you are im sure your going tocatch slack because of your age.) dont even sweat it, I had my daughter when I was 19 (pregnanct for graduation) and my son at 22. I heard so much crap, but I love being a mother and Im happily married. Husband has a great job I have an ok CNA job until I compleat my courses to be an RN. Its possible to have a wonderful family young and still be sucsessful. Dont worry if you are I promise you will love being pregnant and being a parent. Good luck..

Answer 2

You def could be pregnant but if u just stopped taking birth control that can affect your period also..as well as your appetite changing..sometimes can delay your period...a home pregnancy test can very well detect whether or not you are pregnant at this point..but a doctors visit i think would be better for you the doctor can explain to you all the reasons your period could be late...so good luck and hope u get the anwser ur looking for!

Answer 3

You could be. When did you last have sex?

If you are nine days late, then a pregnancy test should be accurate. Some of them are so sensitive you can take them five days before a missed period. Slight pains might be implantation; I don't know about loss of appetite. Your breasts might be sore or tender as well.

Good luck - Either way, I hope you get the answer you're looking for. :)

Answer 4

if you ran out, completely of birth control pills then you may not be pregnant. it can take a while for your body to adjust to not being on the pill or whatever. my first few periods after quitting the pill where late like 12 days or so. i didn't get a chance to see how long before i regulated though because my 3rd month off the pill i conceived.i'm now 26 weeks. so you can wait awhile longer or go ahead and test. good luck.

Answer 5

could be stress, sounds like you have alot going on. take it easy with the pains, take tylenol, i myself would avoid any alcohol, or prescription medication until i knew for sure. we all know moodiness goes along with our periods, but also can with pregnancy too. any morning sickness??? I would wait another week or so then get tested. you could always go to a planned parenthood for your pregnancy test alot of them do them free, especially is money is a concern. good luck small snacks and lots of water to keep your energy up. a multivitamin with folic acid is very important so this would be something i would do right away. good luck, i hope everything turns out the way you hope.
those boxes will be there believe me, i just moved. take your time and don't over do it!!!!

Answer 6

You may be pregnant. At 9 days late you could take a home pregnancy test. With a first response it should give you an accurate result. You really need to know because you could be experiencing ovarian cysts. If a hemorrhagic cyst ruptures you could become very ill.
I know it's stressful to move as well, but I don't believe it would make you this late.

Answer 7

if u were having regular cycles otherwise it couldbe . After 9 -10 days the card test r positive when done on a morning sample .
The morning sickness & loss of appetite may or may not be due to preg. sure way is by testing.

Answer 8

9 days late isnt too early to take a test. If you were pregnant it wold probably come up by now, so i say take test to ease your mind. If it comes up neg and you still dont get your period then I would go to the dr. good luck.

Answer 9

you can take a test now, tests can detect pregnancy 5 days before your missed period, take it in the morning when you first get up, thats the best time.
