Answer 1

You could be but you won't know until you take a test. The best way to know for sure is a blood test, as I have had both false negatives and a false positive with urine tests. Good luck!

Answer 2

I think that there are some harsh answers on this one! I can totally relate! When I see that single line on a test, I am so bummed out for lack of a better word. I am not crying, I'm not depressed, but I am just sad. I completely understand not taking a test right away. I can swing both ways, I will over test or just keep going to the bathroom looking for blood.

I am dealing with this my self right now. My last period was late, and I had very dark colored blood. That was Jan 6. I still have not gotten my period this month. I have taken two tests and each have been a negative, but still no period. I can not afford to rush to the doctor for a negative test (time, and emotionally) and so I have decided to not test again till next week. If my period doesn't come I will buy more tests, and then decide if I am going to the doctor.

So cut her some slack, she doens't have to test immediately. And I can completely understand your disapppintment

Answer 3

I think all women looking to become pregnant go through this stage, at least I know I did. To be honest, the only way you are going to know is by taking a hpt or making an appointment with your doctor. If you really don't want to do that now then your only other option is to wait it out and see what happens. It seems you really want to become pregnant and probably have been trying for a while now so waiting a few more weeks to find out isn't going to kill you :) I'll keep my fingers crossed for you and good luck.

Answer 4

"i don't want to make test yet coz i m afriad i am not and i will just get disappointed" Are you planning for pregnancy according to your sentence????
The only way for 99.9% sure to know is pregnancy test. Get tested. I know it's exciting but you will pass through this exciting moment. Don't worry much. Perhaps, your worries trigger you delaying your period and getting less. So, I encourage you to get tested. Good Luck whether you are expecting or not!

Answer 5

Be an adult and get the EPT test and take at least two to make sure for accuracy. If you are, you have a new life to look after. If you are not, then at least you will know.

Answer 6

Yeah. You should undergo a pregnancy test to confirm if you're really pregnant coz those symptoms can be a false alarm. (- -,)

Answer 7

The only way to be sure is to get a pregnancy test.

Answer 8

Answer 9

sounds like you are but just to make sure you call someone up(doctor) and ask

Answer 10

What does implantation bleeding or spotting look like?

Implantation bleeding, also called implantation spotting, does not look like a regular menstrual period. Implantation bleeding is scanty and usually pink or brownish discharge.
Implantation bleeding or menstrual period?

Implantation bleeding normally occurs a week to a few days before your period would normally start. Spotting that occurs around a week after ovulation is likely implantation bleeding; whereas, spotting that occurs very close to the time that your period would normally start may not be. A normal menstrual cycle generally starts off light and then gets heavier. Spotting can sometimes be the sign of an early period. If this is the case, the spotting will pick up to heavier bleeding. If you have spotting right around the time your period would normally start, it can be more confusing. You will need to take the wait and see approach or take a pregnancy test to determine pregnancy.
What if I feel like my period is about to start?

If you have had spotting and think it might be implantation bleeding you may be paying very close attention to your body. If you are trying to get pregnant, the good news is that early pregnancy symptoms feel very similar to the start of your period. If you are pregnant you may begin to notice symptoms of early pregnancy right around the time your period would normally start and sometimes sooner than that. If you suspect pregnancy you can test for pregnancy as early as ten days after ovulation.
How common is implantation bleeding?

Implantation bleeding is fairly common with pregnancy. Twenty to thirty percent of women will have spotting during early pregnancy. If you have some light spotting before your period would normally start this is not something to worry about and may be a sign of pregnancy.



10. 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.

9. 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.

8. Implantation bleeding
Some women have a small amount of vaginal bleeding around 11 or 12 days after conception (close to the time you might notice a missed period). The bleeding may be caused by the fertilized egg burrowing into the blood-rich lining of your uterus — a process that starts just six days after fertilization — but no one knows for sure.

The bleeding is very light (appearing as red spotting or pink or reddish-brown staining) and lasts only a day or two. (Let your practitioner know if you notice any bleeding or spotting, particularly if it's accompanied by pain, since this can be a sign of an ectopic pregnancy.)

7. 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.

6. 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.

5. 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.

4. 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.

3. 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.

2. 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.

And finally...

1. The proof: A positive home pregnancy test
In spite of what you might read on the box, many home pregnancy tests are not sensitive enough to detect most pregnancies until about a week after a missed period. So if you decide to take one earlier than that and get a negative result, try again in a few days.

Once you've gotten a positive result, make an appointment with your practitioner. Now head over to our pregnancy area. Also, don't forget to update your profile and sign up for our "My Baby This Week" newsletter. Congratulations!
