Answer 1

UMMMM. . . The lack of a period! And if your pregnant I'm going to pray for your child.

Answer 2

Some women have no symptoms until a few weeks in when they begin, so the fact you have no symptoms does not mean the test is wrong. You can get false negative tests but not false positives. You have to have the pregnancy hormone in your body to show positive up on a test. When a women falls pregnant she may have a lighter bleed around the time her period was due - you may have experienced this but again, women sometimes do continue with 'periods' throughout. When you are pregnant your breasts become enlarged & sore & tender, you may feel sick or be sick, you may urinate more often, go off certain foods or smells & feel tired a lot. These are common early signs. If you continue to have bleeding & you are pregnant however make an appointment with your doc as ANY bleeding during pregnancy needs to be checked out. Find your local family planning clinic, they can help & advise you also. All the best.

I have no idea how old you are, but be smart, go see a doctor if you aren't sure. Having a baby is at least an 18 year commitment. This isn't something to be taken lightly. I had a period when I was pregnant with my second daughter, so it can happen. Get checked out, if you are pregnant, you need to see an OB/GYN every month for the first months then every two weeks for the eighth month and then every week at the end. Prenatal care is really important!

NINE EARLY SIGNS OF PREGNANCY

Soon after you suspect that you're pregnant, your body will confirm your suspicions. While the symptoms differ in each woman, here are nine early signs of pregnancy:

1. Fatigue – you no longer have stamina for usual activities, such as walking up a hill or staying awake until midnight. This is because your body is demanding huge amounts of energy to make the changes for pregnancy.

2. Nausea and vomiting – morning sickness may be confused with the flu or feeling like you're "coming down with something." You may feel queasy, have nausea all day long, or vomit and have dry heaves. (See Morning Sickness)

3. Missed menstrual period. While non pregnancy-related issues, such as stress, can cause you to miss a period, this is a first sign of pregnancy, too.

4. Slight staining or spotting. Bleeding at the time of implantation can be mistaken for menstruation. Some women have bleeding in the early months of pregnancy at the time when they would have menstruated.

5. Aversions to odours, alcohol, and smoke. Once you are pregnant, baby-protective mechanisms click in. You will notice how coffee, alcohol, and cigarette smoke make you ill.

6. Food cravings. Once you become pregnant, you may mysteriously crave foods that you seldom ate before. Your tastes may change from sweet to salty or vice verse.

7. Breast changes. The changes are similar to premenstrual feelings in your breasts only more dramatic: nipples tingle, breasts feel tender and fuller, the Ariela begins to darken, and tiny glands on the Ariela enlarge.

8. Cramp pelvic discomfort. This discomfort may be felt throughout the lower abdomen and pelvis. (A sharp one-sided pain is not normal and your doctor should be notified.)

9. Frequent urination. From the beginning, you will urinate more often due to pregnancy hormones. (Later on, you will have frequent urination because of pressure on the bladder from the enlarging uterus.)

Answer 5

Actually, you can get a period when your pregnant. And you can have false positives, too! Go see a doctor for a small blood test. It's the best way to know for sure!

Good luck with everything! :D

Answer 6

This girl is on here for help and advice, not to be bombarded with others moral values or their opinions on whether she is irresponsible or not.

Home pregnancy tests are very accurate these days, so I would say that there is a good chance you are pregnant. Go to your doctor and ask them to do either a high sensitivity urine test and a blood pregnancy test.

Good luck

Answer 7

I think your best getting this confirmed - if you don't want to go to the doctors then maybe a local Brook Advisory or Family Planning Clinic would help - don't worry your not the first and you certainly won't be the last through their doors. Do you have a friend or relative that can be trusted to help you out?

Answer 8

If it is positive then you are pregnant.. NORMALLY. I would look for sore breasts, nausea, vomiting, tired, hungry, etc. Google early pregnancy symptoms and you will find some. Here is a site that has a bunch listed. Good luck

Answer 9

Well the only reason when I took my pregnancy test b.c. I felt a big change in my body.I was getting sick all the time & my body just felt so different.

Answer 10

well a miss period is usually the clue but seeing as you have had yours - breast tenderness, nausea, tiredness, and i mean extreme tiredness, i used to keep falling to sleep before i found out i was pregnant
if you have had a positive result go and see your gp, they will be able to confirm the pregnancy if you are pregnant
good luck
