I think im pregnant.. 10 points for the BEST ANSWER!?

Question

my fiance & i have been celibate for about 2 years & then we decided to have s*x on July 24th. My last period came on July 9th. it lasted 6 days (it always lasts 6 days) so i estimated i would be ovulating between July 20th - 28th. (im not 100% sure how many days i have in my cycle). July 24th.. we had s*x & he came inside of me. July 29th, i started spotting just a little tiny bit, like i wiped 2x & had very light blood on the tissue & that was it. i was told implantation bleeding takes 3-6 days after conception.

i tried the whole lifting my pelvis in the air & laying there for a while so the s***n could swim upstream after s*x. we've been having unprotected s*x since 2002 & i believe i was pregnant 3 times before but miscarried due to fighting.

my question is, what are the chances i am pregnant? i took a home pregnancy test on August 8th but the test came out negative. i used EPT. i have thyroid problems & i was told i have a hormone inbalance (whatever that means). i figured this is probably why my test came out negative but then again it might've been negative because im not pregnant. i usually get my period before my mother does & my mom is already done with her period so i know mine is late. i really dont want to get my hopes up so im trying not to think much of it but i reaaaaaally cant help it. i know that your mind can trick you into thinking you are pregnant and you can develop all the symptoms but this really isnt the case. i actaully keep doing the opposite. i tell myself that im not pregnant so that i dont over exaggerate.

i have been a tad bit stressed these past couple of days over a family issue but ive had worse stress before & it never threw off my cycle.

i felt a lil soreness in my abdomen at one point but that feeling went away. it seemed like the pain was coming from my cervix. ive been having mild cramps that come and go. i do feel pressure on my tummy & ive been very bloated. ive also noticed that ive been drinking a lot more water because i become dehydrated easily as if my mouth is dry. i also have what seems like hot flashes where i feel like i need some sort of sugar & i need a fan in my face. i told myself this is because of the heat but im always in the house near a fan which keeps the house cool. my breast are sore and my nipples are highly sensitive. my nipples also stay half erect most of the time which is not normal at all. also, lots of foods dont agree with me although i dont throw it up (cept once but it only came half way up). it just turns my stomach a little when i eat them. i feel very sluggish and tired all the time but i think thats because of a poor diet.

i began spotting a little about 2 days ago. it comes and goes. its a very light pinkish color or very light brown. i usually have an average or heavy flow for 6 days but its been 2-3 days now and its still very light and coming and going. i dont even have to wear a pad just because its only there when i wipe.

i talked to my fiance about this and he says that im making up excuses for all the pregnancy symptoms to convince myself that im not but i just may be. i honestly reaaaally hope that i am. i just dont want to be disappointed with another negative test. i do plan on testing again (if a dont get my normal flow).

i dont have a doctor so i cant call or see one yet. i dont have any form of health insurance at the moment.

PLEASE DO NOT get it twisted. i can AFFORD a doctor but i DO NOT want to go to the hospital and have to pay 500+ dollars for a bill and the tests come back negative.

& if i am pregnant, you qualify for free insurance and so will my child once it is born.

do you have any advice on things to try?

what are your opinions on my chances of getting pregnant or that i am pregnant?

i dont want to take a home pregnancy test again because i dont want to be disappointed with another negative test and i dont want to go to the doctor until i am 100% sure that i may be pregnant.

PLEASE no stupid answers & 10 POINTS TO THE BEST ANSWER!

Answer 1

I know it is disappointing to get a negative HPT. For right now,I would have to say just let things run there course. And, I would say that implantation can happen up to 14 days later. The pinkish and brown spotting could very well be a  good sign, But, only time can really tell. I am in the same boat. and, I am like you and alot of others, I can't take the disappointment. I understand you not wanting to call a doctor as this present time. You can got to babyzone.com and set up a calender that will help you know approximately when you are ovulating. If you need someone to talk to email me at [e-mail]. Good Luck!

Answer 2

I would say if you want to be pregnant, quit fighting!  If you miscarried because of it several times, if you become pregnant again, you will probably miscarry again.  Work on that before you worry about being pregnant.

Answer 3

WHY IN GODS NAME WOULD YOU WANT A BABY BY SOMEONE WHO BEAT THE LAST BABIES OUT OF YOU... I CANT ANSWER THIS BECAUSE IT IS SELF OF YOU TO BRING A CHILD INTO THE DRAMA THAT YOU ARE ENDURING. GOD HELP YOU.

Answer 4

From what you said it does seem like you have all the symptoms of being pregnant. You said your last period was on the 9th and counting the days from your last period to when you had s*x, it is possible that you were fertile on that day, that is saying your on the 28-32 day cycle.

Home pregnancy tests can be inaccurate, there are some that still show negative after 6-8 weeks of being pregnant that is because of low hcg levels in their urine, so I wouldn't depend much on that. If you do feel the symptoms and is spotting, that is actually normal if you are pregnant (light spotting that is) but if the cramps you are feeling are not tolerable anymore you have slight bleeding (not spotting, but not also your AF) then you better go to an OB coz it might be your having miscarriage.

I know how disappointing it could be when you wanted to have a baby, and tests would show a negative. I would suggest that you wait another week before testing again, or you can buy a progesterone pill (which I did) I just don't know if you can get this over the counter because this was prescribed by my OB. The pill will make you bleed if you're not pregnant, and don't worry if you are pregnant it won't harm the baby, you just won't have your AF. Take it twice a day, and after 3-5 days you should be having your AF if you're not pregnant.

You can also opt for a blood tests to check your hcg levels which can be detected as early as 3 days after conception. It will not cost you $500 to have the tests done. You can also check your local clinics coz some do it for free.

Well, this is the advise I can give you. I hope you get the result you wanted. Goodluck and baby dusts on your way.

Answer 5

d**n...you like to talk.

Answer 6

Try to live your life as normally as possible. And relax. You will be able to tell more readily in a couple of weeks if you are pregnant or not. If you don't want to use a pregnany test than don't.  

Answer 7

Hi,

I have had four pregnancies and been through a lot. So I know what you are going through.

Just because the test comes up negative does not mean that you are NOT pregnant. So buy another test kit and try again if you can. My doctor did a physical exam and told me I was NOT pregnant when I WAS!

I had spotting for the first three months for all my pregancies. There was no one to tell me that it was normal. Only after the internet came through did I see that spotting IS normal. My doctor told me that she had NEVER seen anything like that. The fear the my child was slowly being "drained away" finally led the pregnancy to a miscarriage :(

Now that i know its hormonal changes that make some women spot or even bleed slightly (almost like a light period) during pregnancy and that the BABY is perfectly FINE!!! phew.

Stop worrying and if you have the internet, do some slow yoga and lots of meditation to keep the stress away. Stress is NOT GOOD whether you are pregnant or not.

The changes in the body, bloating, sore b*****s, etc could also happen to people when their hormones are out of balance (like during peri-menopasuse). Hormones may be affected by stress too. I rememeber that during my exams, I would always delay my period by worrying too much.

Whether you are pregnant or not, (which only time can tell), you need to take care of yourself and be stress FREE. yeah, I know that is easy to say, but do take care as many miscarriages happen because we worry too much.

Go for walks, sleep well and take very few medications if any. NO pills for anything (like headaches) if you can avoid it. Also see how your hunger has changed? Do you feel hungry all the time? Are you feelign sick of certain foods>? Are you nauseous in the morning? Do some smells make you wanna puke?

There are many indications of pregnancy. None better than going to the doctor for a physical exam. Of course, my doctor did the exam and told me I was NOT pregnant when I was. Stupid me, I went back to the same doc and the idiot made me lose my full term child.

So there, life is strange. I did find a wonderful Indian physician (in the USA) who finally helped me have two beautiful daughters!

So keep up your hope and keep dreaming of that beautiful  baby! All the best!

Mayavi :)

Answer 8

If you have an "average" 27-28 day cycle then your timing to conceive would have been perfect and you would be over a week late.  Spotting can happen in the beginning of a pregnancy and it's just the remnants of the egg burrowing into the lining of the uterus.  Dollar Tree has $1 tests and are very reliable.  www.peeonastick.com has different tests and shows how sensitive they are.  An EPT test is accurate but you need to be further along for the hormone to be picked up.  Dollar Tree the hormone can be really low.  A friend of mine just had a baby and her beginning signs were drinking a ton of water too and peeing a lot.  So you never know, you could be!  If you're periods are regular and you know you're late you most likely are.  All you can do is take another test in the morning or wait another few days and take another test.  I hope you get the results you want!

Answer 9

I was going to try to answer  your question, until I saw it was a page long, so I figured your probably a very clueless individual and that your probably expecting an answer that's like you question. One ENTIRE page. So my best response would be stop being a silly (this is me being nice) person and just buy a pregnancy test . that's it! SIMPLE! And I expect my ten points please!!

You said nothing about having to know the answer for the ten points!!

Nobody knows for sure. you went two years with out s*x? really?. fighting made you have a miscarriage? and your still with him?? and you still want a baby with him? WOW! maybe I should have read you whole question.

shane - it amazing what people look at as an "important question". I was astounded by the number of responses.

Answer 10

Well i suggest you take a blood test isn't expesive so then for sure you know if you are pregnant or not. Al the symptoms for me are of preggo, the bleeding could be tha implantation.  make a test tomorrow and if it became negative make a blood test. Good Luck and let us know the ++++  

Answer 11

........................................... okay ummm ya know  , wow yeh i say you are pregnant but ya now i mean spotting is what gets me . usually you dont spot but ya know sounds lik somethingis up so i ay go to a doctor just to get reguraly checked up and if your preg THAN GREAT if not STILL YOU KNO THAT YOU ARE OK. yaknow what im saying!!!  :) well i wish you well

Answer 12

err...smaller story please, no one is gonna be motivated to read all of that.

Answer 13

I am a CMA

If you spotted pink for no more than 3 days that is possible implantation bleeding... It takes an egg 5 to 7 days to implant itself after fertilization.

Reading your symptoms about drinking water and feeling dehydrated and nauseous with certain foods and feeling tired when you eat certain foods sounds more like you may be diabetic.. or hypoglycemic

You should see your doctor to rule out diabetes or to confirm a pregnancy as diabetes and pregnancy are not a good combination

Best Wishes

Answer 14

wow. girl everything ur feeling right now i am too. idk yet though either. im waiting for another day to take another test. i just want to know if i am pregnant or not. try testing in a week again with early response tests. im not that experienced in all this but im with you., whe you get an answer let me know k? may be the same for me and i'll do the same as well. i wish u luck chika. =)

Answer 15

The fact that the first EPT test came back as negative is not proof positive. I took 2 test before I got a positive result.

Now the fact that you are under stress could also be the reason why your period is not doing as it normally does. I have over the years stressed so bad that it skipped all together, and of course as I am sure you are aware the only cure for that is to try and find a way to relax and calm yourself down. As for the pregnancy test I would give it a day or two and try again. I think that your chances of being pregnant are high. I wish you all the best.

I'm not looking to be the best answer, just want to help.

All the best to you and your family.

Answer 16

you sure sound pregnant to me....just take another pregnancy test...youre getting your hopes up by thinking abuot it all the time, and so youre doing the opposite of what youre tying to accomplish...

and jeez...thats A LOT to read

Answer 17

Usually if you think you are pregnant, and your period is late its best to wait at least 14 days before taking a test.  If you are really anxious & cannot wait.  I suggest going to the doctor to have a blood test done.  That way they can give you a straight answer & let you know if your thyroid problem is going to be a major problem trying to conceive.  They will suggest some options to help you become pregnant.  

In the meantime here are a couple things you can do to try an conceive:

-Have s*x every other day, sperm lives for up to 3 days inside the woman's body.  So every other day increases your chances

-Start taking folic acid now; it helps to prepare a woman's body to carry a child.

-Continue to elevate your hips after you have s*x, try to hold that position for at least 15 minutes if possible.

Good Luck!!
