    Am I pregnant?
    Hello. I had unprotected sex with my fiancé 2 times. It was 10 days before my next period and I have no idea when I ovulate! My periods are usually 30-31 days. I am now 3 days before my period and I'm very bloated, stomach very weird feeling, slight crampiness in pelvic area and boobs are slightly sensitive. I took 1 hpt this morning and it was negative! Any chance that I could be pregnant or am I just stressing myself out? All the things I read say that ovulation is 14 days before next menstral period... Does that mean I'm in the clearing? Please HELP!!

    You could be pregnant... but then you might not be.

    If you're so worried about it, you might want to be more careful.

    Anyway, it's too early for a test and really, you haven't even missed a period yet so why worry so much? Wait it out and see what happens.

    Hello. I was sup to start my period today.. It didn't come and hpt was negative. ALL cramping has stopped. More bloating, whitish yellow discharge (sorry if tmi), a full feeling and weird feelings below my belly button (gasy feelings).

    Yellow discharge indicates possible infection.

    How late is your period? If you tested before it was two weeks late, you tested too soon. Wait until your period is at least 2 weeks late, then test using first morning urine. If that test is negative wait for your next period. If you miss it, test again or get a blood test done.

    Ok, normally before you miss a period, there are NO signs. You miss a period is the first sign.
    What you described are signs of a period coming in some women, But agree, a yellow discharge is normally an infection of some type.

    You have to wait till you are 2 week past due, to test, then test with first urine of day

    White discharge is normal. Anything other than white, indicates a possible infection. It all depends on your version of off white.

    You never did answer, how late is your period?

    And very very unusual for me because I'm NEVER late!! :/

    So you're at the most 4 days late?

    That's way too early to test. Wait until you're at least 2 weeks late, then test with first morning urine.

    If you're not concerned about the off color discharge, that's your choice. You have to decide when to see a doctor, we can't diagnose, we can only offer facts or ideas based on what you write.

    Good luck.

    It's too soon to test. You likely won't get a reliable result tomorrow. But, it's your money, if you want to spend it, go ahead.

    I'd wait until you're at least 2 weeks late, but that's just my opinion, based on pretty reliable medical information. You don't have to accept the advice, that's up to you.

    Good luck.

    I can understand that. All women are the same way, they all want to know right away. Sadly, that's not how our bodies work. Some women wait months before they get a reliable pregnancy result, even though they're well into their second trimester. It happens all the time.

    The only advice I can offer right now is to act like you're pregnant. In other words, don't drink, take prenatal vitamins (they won't hurt you if it turns out you're not pregnant), eat properly, and take care of yourself. If you are pregnant this can make a huge difference for the baby, if you're not, you won't harm yourself at all, in fact, you'll be doing a great deal of good for you too. :)

    Wait the two weeks, then test using first morning urine (that part is very important, your urine is more concentrated in the morning, therefore the test is more accurate). If that test is negative, then wait and see what happens with your next period. If you miss it, test again or get a blood test.

    Realize that infection can also delay your period, so can stress, weight loss, weight gain, illness, medication, exercise, and so many other things. A missed period doesn't always signify pregnancy.

    Let me know how it goes, keep me posted, and try not to stress too much (I know, easier said than done). :)
