Am I pregnant?

Question

I havent been using any protenction for the past 3 wks and well I haven't gotten my period.. I don't even remember the lst time I got it. Well sometimes lately I've been having some cramps and think I'm going to get it, and I don't! i am married and have a two yr. old son, I used to take birth control pills after giving birth to my son but know that I don't qualify for medical, I haven't been able to get the pills. So I don't know if I'm pregnant. Can someone please give me some advice? Thanks!

Answer 1

Star, sorry about the rude answer you got from that one chick. Good grief - if she didn't want to answer your question, she could have moved on to a different one!
Okay, back to your question. There's a pretty good chance that you could be. Since you don't know when you had your last peroid exactly, it would be hard to tell when a good time to test would be, but I think that you could go ahead and test now. If you get a negative result and still don't get your period in another week, then test again by all means.
As you might remember from being pregnant with your son, the very first part of pregnancy often feels like you're going to start your peroid any minute but never do.
Grab a test and let us know what you find out. Best of luck.

Answer 2

There is a chance you are pregnant. Take a test, and call your doctor. Birth control is much cheaper than a child, if you do not wish to have another child at this time,(if you are not already pregnant) call your doctor, or go into a Planned Parenthood Clinic. Your doctor may have some samples he can give you to help with the cost, and at the clinic the cost is based on your income.

Answer 3

Hey, check out saveontests.com they have Hpt for really cheap!! You pay $1.50 per test for five test this includes shipping and they ship it to you pretty quickly. But if you are really nervous go to a clinic-they have a sliding scale for your income level. Get checked out, it will save your nerves a little. I am glad that you are married-that is something that is starting to become extinct in this world.

Well, I hope all goes well, I also hope this helps, if you need anyone to talk to just email me. My son will be two in July we were hoping to be expecting by 2008(preferably sooner than later,but it is in the Lord's hands).

Take a test. We are not able to predict if you are pregnant or not. Unprotected sex leads to pregnancy !!!!

There are pregnancy signs to look out for but they only appear a lot later in 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.

Answer 5

is your period late? The best way to know for sure if you're pregnant is to take a pregnancy test. You can get one at a drug store or check your area for free clinics.
Some symptoms of pregnancy are:
fatigue, breast tenderness/swelling, backaches, nausea, headaches, frequent urination and food cravings.

Answer 6

Is your period regular? Have you missed it yet? You could be pregnant and should take a pregnancy test. Stress and other factors could also make you late.

Answer 7

Take a test

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!
