Answer 1

This   are some  symptoms  when   you are   preggo  :)

Implantation Bleeding:

Implantation bleeding can be one of the earliest pregnancy symptoms. About 6-12 days after conception, the embryo implants itself into the uterine wall. Some women will experience spotting as well as some cramping.

Other Explanations: Actual menstruation, altered menstruation, changes in birth control pill, infection, or abrasion from intercourse.

Delay/Difference in Menstruation:

A delayed or missed menstruation is the most common pregnancy symptom leading a woman to test for pregnancy. When you become pregnant, your next period should be missed. Many women can bleed while they are pregnant, but typically the bleeding will be shorter or lighter than a normal period.

Other Explanations: Excessive weight gain/loss, fatigue, hormonal problems, tension, stress, ceasing to take the birth control pill, or breast-feeding.

Swollen/Tender b*****s:

Swollen or tender b*****s is a pregnancy symptom which may begin as early as 1-2 weeks after conception. Women may notice changes in their b*****s; they may be tender to the touch, sore, or swollen.

Other Explanations: Hormonal imbalance, birth control pills, impending menstruation (PMS) can also cause your b*****s to be swollen or tender.

Fatigue/Tiredness:

Feeling fatigued or more tired is a pregnancy symptom which can also start as early as the first week after conception.

Other Explanations: Stress, exhaustion, depression, common cold or flu, or other illnesses can also leave you feeling tired or fatigued.

Nausea/Morning Sickness:

This well-known pregnancy symptom will often show up between 2-8 weeks after conception. Some women are fortunate to not deal with morning sickness at all, while others will feel nauseous throughout most of their pregnancy.

Other Explanations: Food poisoning, stress, or other stomach disorders can also cause you to feel queasy.

Backaches:

Lower backaches may be a symptom that occurs early in pregnancy; however, it is common to experience a dull backache throughout an entire pregnancy.

Other Explanations: Impending menstruation, stress, other back problems, and physical or mental strains.

Headaches:

The sudden rise of hormones in your body can cause you to have headaches early in pregnancy.

Other Explanations: Dehydration, caffeine withdrawal, impending menstruation, eye strain, or other ailments can be the source of frequent or chronic headaches.

Frequent Urination:

Around 6-8 weeks after conception, you may find yourself making a few extra trips to the bathroom.

Other Explanations: Urinary tract infection, diabetes, increasing liquid intake, or taking excessive diuretics.

Darkening of Areolas:

If you are pregnant, the skin around your nipples may get darker.

Other Explanations: Hormonal imbalance unrelated to pregnancy or may be a leftover effect from a previous pregnancy.

Food Cravings:

While you may not have a strong desire to eat pickles and ice cream, many women will feel cravings for certain foods when they are pregnant. This can last throughout your entire pregnancy.

Other Explanations: Poor diet, lack of a certain nutrient, stress, depression, or impending menstruation.

Answer 2

The pregnancy HGC hormone that the tests detect aren't strong enough in some women until a couple of weeks after your missed period. I took a test 3 days before I was supposed to start and it was negative and took it again the next day and it was positive. Don't waste a million tests like I did, I know it's hard but I would say wait a few more days and take it again. If you're still not satisfied schedule an appointment with your doctor and they can get more accurate results. (Urine and/ or blood tests)

Good Luck & God Bless!

Answer 3

I feel your anxiety. I'm now 3wks late and have all the feelings of AF coming but nothing. I have negatives test and assure myself that I am not pregnant this time.

Your body is obviously going to be different to mine as everyone reacts differently to pregnancy. I would suggest to chill another day or two and then take another test.  Take note of the smell of things. if they are really noticable or your stomach churns when you open your fridge door you will have another indication of a positive pregnancy.

Sometimes.. just sometimes.. the hpt doesnt show up straight away. for some people it takes up to 2 wks late to register.

Good luck Luv!

I wish you all the luck and baby dust in the world for you to get your bfp.
