Signs And Symptoms Of Pregnancy

Sometimes it can be difficult to tell if you’re actually pregnant or just experiencing a flu or PMS. 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.

Hi guy's, I'm new to this forum, but wanted to make sure I joined as I was reading everyones posts desperately trying to find answers last week!! now I can help!! I have a 5 month old baby boy and found out 3 days ago I'm bfp again (can't wait) but had to go through the heart ache of bfn's and negative blood tests first - with my first 2010 I went to doctors "feeling pregnant and with a hpt positive" but came out the doctors deflated as his urine test said negative, I wasn't convinced and went to another doctors on my way home, they got me in there and then, my urine test came out positive, sent me for blood work and again positive... Not all doctors urine tests can obviously be accurate... This last months I'm 3 weeks late for af, no symptoms, 8 negative hpt's ( over the 3 weeks) went to doctors last week, bloodtest came back negative, hpt this week finally BFP went back to doctors, he didn't believe me and took some convincing to send me again for a bloodtest, got a phone call personally from him at 6pm in the evening and apologized and congratulated me on being pregnant, apparently my hgc levels didnt become high enough till I was 6 weeks pregnant, please have faith and patience, as false negative tests happen all the time xxx baby dust to everyone xxx

I'm new to this forum and don't know if I'm pregnant or not. My fiancé and I want to conceive, but we've had trouble in the past. I've always had irregular periods and the last three times we tried, I experienced rejection, followed by a week's worth of hemorrhaging. This time, it's been about 2 1/2 weeks, and I'm experiencing. Nausea (no vomiting), tender breasts, mood swings, and very gnarly food cravings. I know that every woman is different, and we all experience pregnancy symptoms differently, so I'm hoping. I took 2 at-home pregnancy tests, and they came out negative, and the other one couldn't decide if I was pregnant or not (they were digital). I have a Dr.'s Appointment on tthe6th, so I'm hoping to hear good news. (Wish me luck!). I've studied medicine, and know that women whom have an irregular menstrual cycle often-times show multiple negative results. But, with the way I've been going, the lower back pain, and the slight weight-gain along with frequent urination, my fiancé and I think we might have gotten lucky!

Congrad to everyone who got their wish. I am new here and want advise on whether I could be Pregnant. I am always on time for the last 8yrs, never missed a period or late. This month my period was three days late, on the third day it was late it came brown discharge that can only be seen when I wipe. On the forth day it was light pink in the morning then turn heavy and red. I am still feeling quite tired, lightheaded, heavy boobs and that feeling that of pregnancy. I have 4 kids already and my body feels off. Can someone tell me if they think I might be pregnant. Like · Reply · Unsubscribe · 12 seconds ago
