If you are young this could just be a change or imbalance in your hormones. This is common. But even if you are not so young hormone imbalance can happen. It causes your body to do mad things like such. It can even cause your body to do something described as a phantom pregnancy where the body thinks its pregnant. But in my experience sickness and hardness and tenderness of the nipples doesn't occur until later in the pregnancy.

It's possibly due to pregnancy, as some women do experience symptoms very early, at times before a missed period. You really are going to have to wait until you test to find out.

Thanks for the answers. But would it be to soon to take the test after two days of a misperiod? Does it matter how much the pregnancy yesterday cost or are they all about the same? Like if I went to walmart and bouht a 5 dollar one would that be okay?

Sometimes periods can be off a bit, so it can be best to wait several days after you would normally expect it in case it is just late. The waiting can be difficult, I know, so certainly you could try a test sooner.

They really are basically the same... all checking for the same hormone. Some will be more sensitive than others however, and this can allow for a pregnancy to be detected sooner with some tests.
Plenty of women get accurate results with store brands.

While of course you can try and test now, a few of the tests claim to be more reliable early ( not sure they are, but they claim it) but even a no now, could still be a yes in a week or two.

So if you want to test, go for it, will not hurt anything but the cost of a test, but if it says no, you will still need to test latter to be sure
