Am I pregnant? Husband thinks so but I don't want to waste $ on a test ?

Question

My last period was July 24, cycles usually 32-33 days long. Today is day 34 and it doesn't feel like it's starting soon.

Symptoms:

- No usual PMS signs (sore & swollen b*****s, water retention, fairly strong cramps, chocolate cravings) PMS usually starts 9-12 days before my period

- Spotting twice during this cycle - once was bright red streaks in EWCM, 12 days later brown tinged CM

And these are the minor symptoms, prob. unrelated:

- Tired but can't sleep well

- Irritability (husband says it's abnormal)

- Nose bleeding more than usual

- Having to pee frequently (off and on, I might have 3 hours where I go every 15-30 minutes)

- Gas

I honestly don't think I'm pregnant -- I've had weird signs other months that made me think I was when I wasn't. It was just super-strong PMS.

But my husband has it in his mind that I am. If I were pregnant, wouldn't I feel a bit more... unusual?

What do you think? I really don't want to buy a test unless it's very likely I'm pregnant.

Answer 1

Wait another week and then buy a test.  They don't cost much at Walmart.

Answer 2

Congratulations!!! you are pregnant... you have to send some money to be sure though... but it very much sounds as if you are pregnant for sure

Answer 3

Get tested at Planned Parenthood.  It's free.

Answer 4

i started having signs i was pregnant even befor they could see my baby. I bought a test and didnt take it cuz i was going to the doctor the next day and when they done the test it was + so i took it at home cuz i couldnt believe it and it was +. So get one it will make u feel alot better to know if u r or not

Answer 5

u can buy a 1 dollar test at the dollar store!  

Answer 6

It sounds very likely to me- get a test!

The spotting could have been ovulation with the EWCM- and implantation with the brown. How many days ago was that?  

I had no PMS signs either except some cramping- but my period never came.  I really, really was surprised to get that + test because I was pretty sure I wasn't.  Wrong!

I would test tomorrow morning, for sure.

Answer 7

Waste money on a test?  You can get one for free at the pregnancy crisis center, or at the dollar store.

Answer 8

Walmart has two packs of tests for less that $4!!!

  Go there and do it-  Babies arent going to be cheap

Answer 9

You should definitely get  a test. The sell them at the dollar store! You can afford that. You really should take a test. It will be able to give you a better answer than we could.  

Answer 10

Are you late?

I would go to the Dollar store and get some tests.  They are accurate and cheap.

Answer 11

My last period was the 21 of June...I still dont feel pregnant and I am 10 weeks. No vomiting. Just the symptoms that you listed minus the nose bleeds. Take a test. Hubby sounds excited:)

Answer 12

I'd say buy a test...it's unusual but people can go full term not realising that they're pregnant...all of your symptoms point in the direction of pregnancy...good luck xx

Answer 13

dollar general/ 99 cent store. 99 cents is NOT too expensive. and its just as accurate if not more so than an expensive test. i refused to pay 20 bucks for something i knew was the same thing! it sounds pretty much like me when i was first pregnant...husband told ME i was pregnant. i didnt think so, but he was sure. sure enough, he was right. but get a dollar test...if tahts positive, then go to your dr and have them confirm. good luck!

Answer 14

Other than knowing I was pregnant (gut feeling) I didn't have any pregnancy symptoms until week 8.  

Tests are not that expensive - under $15.  Why not take one.  It will make your hubby happy and then you'll know for sure.
