Shall i get pregnancy test or wait?

Question

i have a relatively short menstrual cycle (ca. 23 days) and now i'm on my 28th day and nothing yet.... i just have this feeling : ) then again it does feel like i'm getting my menstruation any day, with lower back pain. but this any day feeling lasts since over a week now. tests are very expensive here, so don't wanna wast money too early.

Answer 1

When I missed my period, I had the same symptoms as before menstruation. And lower back pain too. I was pregnant. You can get a test at the dollar store, they are good too.

Answer 2

Hi, its only 5days late. u can either wait it out or buy a store brand home pregnancy test its cheaper and works the same (about 7 to 10 dollars)

Answer 3

just wait it out and try not to think about it cause you'll start to stress and that alone will throw off you cycle  

Answer 4

I had the 'coming on' feeling for the first 6 weeks or so of pregnancy.  if tests are too expensive then wait by all means but if you aren't already taking folic acid, get some now or start munching sprouts broccoli etc to boost you levels.

When you do buy a test, buy a multipack because you will do more than one test, never mind what the result is!  Works out cheaper too.

Good luck - i hope you get the result you are wanting.
