I know the normal symptoms of being pregnant are fatigue, keen sense of smell, missing your period, and some spotting but is there anything else I should know about? I am late on my period, about 4 days and have NEVER been late before in my life. I have been noticing in the past week or so that I am really exhausted a lot of the time. I also got a little bit of a cold this week also. I've read a lot about having a keen sense of smell when you are pregnant, its gotten so bad that my nose will actually start to hurt when someone walks by with really strong perfume or cologne on! My lower back hurts at work because I'm on my feet for 8-10 hours a day. I have been through all the signs of being pregnant and even woke up this morning with some spotting and very light cramps. I have a doctor's appointment on Tuesday but I am stressing like crazy right now! Help!

The only reason I am asking is because I've heard a lot of people can mentally only think they are pregnant and have some symptoms because of it. Oh and another symptom I have is a clear discharge. I've NEVER had that either. Seriously, ask my husband.

Oh to answer ya'lls questions. I took a pregnancy test the day after I was supposed to start my period and it was negative. The same thing happened to my sister up until she went to the doctor and got a better test. I'm just scared I'm going to get too excited and find out I'm not pregnant. Alot of people say it could take up to 7-10 days before the tests turn positive.

Do a home pregnancy test. You can get a cheap one at a discount store. That would be the best thing to do to be sure.

If you never miss your period then you are probably pregnant. I am very regular and always know when I'm pregnant because I'm never more than a day or two late.
In fact, I don't always take a pregnancy test because EVERY time my period has been a couple of days late, I was pregnant. It's a failproof sign for me.
The spotting and cramping are classic signs, too, as is fatigue.
What you think is a cold might actually be related to pregnancy, too. I always get a sort of stuffy feeling in my nose when pregnant - the hormones cause tissues to swell.
You can get a really cheap pregnancy test today at the drug store and get a leg up on the doctor.
Best of luck!

My sister was never late with her periods either and was experiencing the same symptoms as you. She took a test and yes she was pregnant, shes due this June. Have you taken a hpt yet?? Since its been 4 days and still no period then I think you can get a good result with a hpt now. I would take one if it worries you so much or you could just wait it out over the weekend and find out on Tuesday. Good luck to you.

I'M THE SAAAAME WAAAY!!! WE'RE NOT ALONE, EITHER. There's a lot more people we don't know about that's in the same boat... I know it reaaal hard. Well, try and think how long it has been and take a home test. Your symptoms could be something else, so...

wait a few more days, if your period is a no show, take another test. if you are this concerned, schedule a dr appointment for a blood test.
otherwise if you get your period or get another test thats negative, you most likely aren't pregnant
