My question is I am now four days late on my period. I feel sick all day long but doesn't always last all day I feel dizzy also and I also sometimes feel movement in my lower stomach. I took a pregnancy test and it was negative it was when I was two days late could it be to soon or should I wait for a little longer? I also start feeling really sick to certain smells? AM I PREGNANT?:confused:

It is possible if you are sexually active, I would suggest waiting a few days and testing again using first morning urine, It takes some women longer to build up the HCG hormone if you retest and still get a negative make an appt with your doctor for a blood test their much more accurate, as for movement it is way to early to feel any movement, this usually does not happen till at least 16 weeks with first time mothers and past 14 weeks with women who have been pregnant before.

Detecting movement... you were probably just feeling cramps. 4 days late is too early to worry. Sometimes being a little late will make you feel dizzy and you'll have a heavier flow. As pp suggested, take a pregnancy test in the morning... but I'd wait a few days and see if Aunt Flo shows.

It is impossible to feel any movement at this stage. The baby does not have legs or arms to move and is microscopic in size.

Most women can not feel movement until they are at least 16 weeks, and even then, only that early if they have ever had a child before... most others won't feel anything until 20 weeks or so.

Actually at this stage, it is rare that you would have any symptoms. Im not saying it doesn't happen, but typically the sickness will come around 6 weeks or later. It is possible that you are mentally psyching yourself out... it happens. Also the symptoms you are describing are also common symptoms felt prior to having your period.

Most women have no idea that they are pregnant until at least 6 or 8 weks along, and the ones who know sooner are because of the sensitivity of home testing now a days... it is really too early to get an accurate result on a HPT. The chances of a false negative. Are very high. You need to wait until you are at least 1 or 2 weeks late. Good luck.

Great advice above, but let me add that stressing about the fact that you could be pregnant can actually delay your period if you are not pregnant. The best thing to do is calm down, relax and take another test in about a weeks time. If you keep testing after only 4 days of missing your period you are pretty much just wasting money on pregnancy tests. You have to wait a little while so the hCG can build up if you are pregnant.

Now the feeling of movement in your stomach... gas. Plain and simple. If you are pregnant, you cannot feel it at this stage.

When someone is really scared about being pregnant, some times they get their mind set that they are, before they even know for sure. Sometimes when people get that mind set, they can actually start experiencing symptoms (like sensitivity to smells), but its all in their head. They are causing this because they have set it in their mind that they are pregnant.

Yes, pregnancy is a possibility with sex, period. But the best thing to do is not jump to conclusions until you have a definite answer. :)
