Question

Had unprotected sex two days before ovualation and both days after. My last menstrual period was on feb.07th 2007. its now 22 days since then and i am having white, thin,odorless discharge, food cravings,clothes are tighter,cramping, sore boobs, full feeling boobs, bloating and am very tired, constipated at times. I also somtimes have this stretching sensation in my left abdominal area. When should i take a test if its possible pregnancy? Has anyone else had these symptoms? Please share your early signs of pregnancy with me.........very curious to know!

Answer 1

Truth of the matter is, no one but the doctor can tell you if you are pregnant. The symptoms do not matter as many women do not experience any at all and some that do, have a positive pregnancy test before they have any of the symptoms. And, others experience symptoms because they are either afraid of being pregnant or they want so badly to be pregnant. However, the very first symptom, will usually be a missed period.

I had no signs that I was pregnant. Believe me, I would have been aware of them because I had been treated for infertility for 8 years! When I was a week late, I did a home pregnancy test, it was negative, I repeated the home test 3 days later and it was still negative but the blood test was positive. It wasn't until the end of my third month that I really knew i was pregnant...because I developed hyperemesis.

If you miss your period, call your doctor and request a blood pregnancy test. Don't waste your time or money on a home pregnancy test since it is not as sensitive and so may give you a false negative.
