    I need to know if I am pregnant.
    Hi all. I am a new user. Just wanted to know something that has been bothering me for a long time now. My husband and I have been trying for a baby. Now this month my period is 12 days late. I have taken 2 home pregnancy tests and both showed negative.

    I have had sore breasts as well. No specifif tiredness. But if I work a bit harder than usual I get tired more than I used to. I have these cramps in my stomach and for a week or so my body has been feeling a bit wired as well. I feel like I am going to get my period because of the cramps I get in my stomach but it stops very soon.

    I am really confused and worried please help me. What do you girls think?

    It would be really nice to know if you girls have been through the same thing.

    Go to your doctor and get a blood test. Blood test is more accurate. Also book an appointment with your ob.

    There are times where the home tests have come out negative even if positive. Just get yourself checked out and then there is no more guessing.

    Goodluck

    As Joe said, a blood test is more accurate then hpts. Also if you get an exam with your ob/gyn, they can check for more defining signs of pregnancy. (an enlarged uterus and the blueish purple tint to the vagina that accompany pregnancy)good luck

    Um, I think Buggage meant the bluish tint to the cervix not the vagina, so don't get concerned, your vagina won't turn blue, LOL. This blue tint is caused by increased blood supply to your uterus/cervical area during pregnancy.

    Also, when are you taking the hpts? First morning urine is best as it contains the highest concentration of pregnancy hormone called hCG. But, yes, they are all correct in suggesting going to the doctor for a blood test. If you do not currently have an OB yet, your regular GP can do a blood test then refer you to a good OB.

    Good luck to you!!

    Mild cramping in pregnancy is common, due to ligaments stretching, to make room for the fast growing uterus, but the cramping shouldn't be severe and there should be no bleeding. Take a test using the first urine you pass when you wake up in the morning. Good luck. Here is some ******baby dust****** hope it works for you. :)

    Some Females there body dosen't show with a home pregency test. I would set up a Dr. Appt. It could be something else going on. I'll say a special prayer for you.
