I am 18 and I haven't had all of the symptoms of but I have had some. I've had feeling tired, using the bathroom a lot, spotting,backaches, headaches, and cravings, and nausea through out the day without throwing up. I haven't had tenderness of the breast though. I took a without test but I took it about 5 days after I stopped spotting so I think it might not be acurate. So how do I determine if I am Pregnant or not?:confused:

Once you miss your period, it is wise to wait one-two weeks before taking a hpt. It is not uncommon to be late or completely miss a cycle now and then, as well as having irregular flows. Some women do not have high enough levels of hcg(pregnancy hormone) built up in their systems for the test to accurately read, until weeks, or months after conception(some never register on a hpt) so waiting this amount of time is wiser for a more accurate outcome. If you miss a period, but your test says negative, wait for your next period, if you miss that, test again and if still negative, see your physician
