To help you distinguish between being pregnant and just thinking that maybe, possibly, you might be pregnant, take a look at our signs of pregnancy and pregnancy symptoms sections or try our on-line pregnancy test. If you're still not sure but you have a pet, then take a cue from them. As Sensing Pregnancy explains, pets are often intuitive when it comes to pregnancy.  Some common early pregnancy symptoms might be morning sickness, tender breasts, frequent urination, tiredness, moodiness, and food cravings.  If you have any of these symptoms you might want to think about taking a home pregnancy test.

Well, I my period was three days late, it really didn’t start until after I had an argument with someone. It only lasted for three days…. I have been bloated for three weeks; I have been waking up in the middle of the night eating. My back is killing, I have been overly emotional. I went to the Dr’s office and they gave me a Pt but said it was negative, but the same thing happen when I got pregnant with my son. (Help please)

Ok been reading this sight for awhile finally got the courage to post. I have a very regular 28 day cycle I ovulate on day 14 or 15 always get the ovulation cramps. Cd 14 and 15 we had sex had the o cramps and everything and loads of cm. 3 days later I had a (tmi alert) glob of discharge when I wiped just like a load on the tissue scared me so bad thought I had a yeast infection when to the doctor he said I was fine no bacteria and discharge looked normal. Today is 6 dpo and still have a lot of cm through out the day. I usually get some cm about three to five days before af but she's still 8 days away and three days ago was to much and to soon any thoughts please
