About a week late for my period....am I pregnant??

OK I am engaged and plan to get married soon. My fiancee and I are financially stable and have tried to have a child. We don't use any contraceptives and have sex once or twice a day. For the last 3 months we have been unsuccessful in getting pregnant. I guess I should add in that I have never been pregnant but I did have an abnormal pap about a year ago and they wanted me to have a colpolscopy to see why and I haven't had it yet, keep putting it off..i know thats bad. Anyway I am afraid I may be infertile..or possibly my fiancee. But ok well my 1st day of my last period was the 23rd of september, last month and I havent started this month. . I am late I guess. Yesterday I had cramps here and there but did'nt start...today I sorta have cramps but havent started...not even a little. There is no bleeding at all. Can you have cramps when you are pregnant? Should I take a test or wait a little?

 

Go ahead and take a test. You are a week late so the test will be accurate.

 

Oh and I forgot to add that my boobs have been extremely tender....I don't even want him to touch them....but then again that comes with your period...but they seem to hurt more than usual...and also I have been getting hot flashes.....

 

Omg.....I just looked in the mirror and around my boobs theres alot more bluish veins !!!!!! They werent there before!!!! What the heck!?

 

Sounds like it's definitely time for a pregnancy test.

 

Well..cramps are still coming and going...I am gonna give it a few more days and if I still havent started I will take the test then...I have thought I had been pregnant in the past and was disappointed because I ended up not being pregnant after all....after taking the test...so I will up date after I take the test...

 

I'm a psychic also and I see a little bastard causing you a lifetime of grief!

Hooooooooeeeeeemmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...........

 

I make no claims of psychic-ness, but I'm also getting very, very strong pregnancy vibes from you.

Good luck, and I hope congratulations will be in order when you take the test!

 

same here!

Duuuuuuude. Take the test, let us know!


*is on the edge of her seat*

 

Well I took an EPT and went to a clinic and took a test and I am about a week pregnant....yippeeeee. Tommorrow I go back to get my first ultrasound...wish me luck.

 

Well I have one question. Since I didn't know that I was pregnant and started to get cramps, I thought I was going to start my period...so i took a few ibuprofen...will that do any harm...i am sorta worried.?

 

YAY!!! Congratulations! Hope all goes well....what an exciting time for you!

I wouldn't worry about the ibuprofen. Especially if you just took a couple. I would still probably ask the doctor/midwife just to ease your fears, but I'm sure he/she will tell you the same. Worrying won't do any good now anyway....just be sure to start taking care of yourself and enjoy being pregnant!

~Peace~

 

Actually, you're probably more like 5 weeks pregnant. The official beginning is the after the last day of your last menstrual cycle. It's confusing, I know. You're "pregnant" before you get pregnant!

Edit: silly me...Congratulations!!

 

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

Does anyone know if tea is bad for you when you are pregnant...I love green tea but want to know if I should drink it if im pregnant?

 

Well since i still live at home with my mom...I had to tell her, and i was very nervous since i am young, am not married and haven't finished college. She herself got pregnant with me when she wasnt married, then married my father a month pregnant with me. She has been a single mom for a long time. Well I am torn because the baby news didnt make her too happy, she was away for the weekend at a friends house and will be home soon. But she is disappointed in me and she made a comment like I still have time to change my mind. This makes me sooooooo angry! Does she really think I would get an abortion?! I told her no way...and she said no matter what she will support me emotionally cuz I am her daughter. I feel like I let her down and cant be totally happy because of her reaction....any comments?

 

Well I am going to be 23 in 3 months and my fiancee is 23. I have always thought of myself as more mature than most my age though. And yes my fiancee is sooooooo happy...but he also wants the best for me and is a little worried that I wont finish school....but I still have time after the baby though. I believe everything happens for a reason, bad or good. I got pregnant for a reason and will have this baby for a reason...and it will be a good one . Thanks for all the advice and congrats guys, much appreciated.

 

Niteowlchick, when I finally told my mom that I was pregnant, she was pretty disappointed, too. But, then she started thinking about being a grandma! She turned around pretty quickly!
