You can take a blood test at the doctor to detect pregnancy. Your only other option is to wait about 9 months and see! ChaCha!

Negative Pregnancy Test, but….?

Q: I’m 9 days late for my period but the thing is i have always been irregular. I used to take birth control but i’ve been off of it since april. My period stopped coming and just resumed last month on the 16th and lasted until the 20th, which my doctor said was fine since I stoped taking birth control and my body may be “confused”. Besides being late, I have frequent headaches, night sickness instead of morning, increased discharge, decreased appetite, and im sleepy even after a full nights sleep and later on in the day a nap! I know people say go with your instincts and if you think you’re pregnant you probably are, but could almost swear I was about a year ago and I even had symptoms (but i probably made them up because I wanted to be pregnant) but that was jus “visual” stuff, now it’s actually internal things that i can’t pretend is happening. I took a pregnancy test Thursday around 3 pm and another first thing Friday morning, both negative. Later Friday morning I started having really bad cramps, like I was getting my period but they only lasted for a couple hours and they went away, no bleeding no nothing. Oh and I’ve also been very very emotional, but I’m thinking thats from other factors, I just moved to New York. So I don’t know of I should beleive I am and take another one in a few weeks or just forget about it. What do you think?

A: Wait another week and test again. If your period still doesn’t come, go to the doctor and ask for some blood work and push for an ultrasound to make sure everything okay. Since you are irregular and were on birth control, your body may still be adapting to the changes, so try not to get your hopes up, although you do have pregnancy symptoms. Good luck and I hope things work out to your favor.

should i keep trying?

Q: I’m 5 days late for my period but the thing is i have always been irregular. I used to take birth control but i’ve been off of it since april. My period stopped coming and just resumed last month on the 16th and lasted until the 20th, which my doctor said was fine since I stoped taking birth control and my body may be “confused”. Besides being late, I have frequent headaches, night sickness instead of morning, decreased appetite, craving for warm pb&j sandwhiches and beenie weenies, and im sleepy even after a full nights sleep and later on in the day a nap! I know people say go with your instincts and if you think you’re pregnant you probably are, but could almost swear I was about a year ago and I even had symptoms (but i probably made them up because I wanted to be pregnant) but that was jus “visual” stuff, now it’s actually internal things that i can’t pretend is happening. I took a pregnancy test thursday around 3 pm and another first thing yesterday morning, both negative. Yesterday I started having really bad cramps, like I was getting my period but they only lasted for a couple hours and they went away, no bleeding no nothing. Oh and I’ve also been very very emotional, but I’m thinking thats from other factors, I just moved to New York. I also hae had a high increae of discahrge, no funny smell or color…jus clear. So I don’t know of I should beleive I am and take another one in a few weeks or just forget about it. What do you think?

A: Yea you should keep trying. If your doctor hasn’t told you you’re infertile then I don’t see why you should stop trying for a baby. Maybe you should go speak to your doctor and they could refer you to a fertility doctor. Good luck and much baby dust to us all TTC!!!

Mini pill/birth control/possibly pregnant….. what to do?

Q: So I was an EPer until my DH came home from his deployment. I started taking the mini pill about 1.5 weeks before DH came home. After his return I started pumping less and there were a few days in which I forgot all together to take the pill. I stopped pumping all together about 4 days after he returned. Even when I took the pill after he returned it NEVER was at the same time. I’m not late yet, but I’m beginning to wonder when I should start the new birth control I got Ortho Tri Cyclen (spelling). I’m just wondering if I maybe pregnant now, DH made a comment today while at Walgreens when we walked down the baby isle/feminine product where they had pregnancy test. He’s like you’re going to need a few of those and some orange juice so you can take 7 tests in a row. LOL (he was referring to the new movie “Juno”) Possible TMI, but I got my period 2 days before DH returned (Feb 17th) and ever since Feb. 19th we have been having sex without protection, but I take the pill when I remember during the day, I think I forgot to take the pill Feb 20th-Feb 22nd….. Since then I have taken it everyday, well besides maybe a day or two where I forgot and the next day took 2 pills at the same time….So do you all think I should start taking the new birth control now or wait till after I get my period (fingers crossed)? When could I test? I think it’s too early now seeings as I should be ovulating right now (I think)….

A: the mini pill MUST be taken at the same time every day to be effective and even then it is less effective than dual hormone pills. I got pregnant on the mini pill taking it on time each day. Don’t start on your new pills or continue taking the mini pill if you think you are pregnant. Stop and wait until you can test. In the meantime use condoms as a backup
