I am 21 years old and I have been tying to have a baby for 2 years now. I am taking me prenatal and Me and my husband have been trying and I finally think that we have done it. I am 3 days late and my breast are really really sore, not the whole breast just the nipples and the outer sides of my breast. I have light discharge no smell no color, and for the past two days I have had minor headaches. I don't know what is going. I don't know if I want to be pregnant so bad that I'm making my body act this way (False Pregnancy), if it's from me stressing over being pregnant or if I really am pregnant and its just to early. How early can pregnancy be deteted with the blood test?

Some one please calm me down

Pregnancy can be detected on a blood test at least a week before your period, if not longer. If you were to take one now, it would be accurate

I aggree with buggage, blood works 3-4 weeks after end of last period but urine should work about now as well, have you thought of buying an at home test kit.

Hope it works out for you.

I have taken 3 at home test and still negative. I am going to wait the 10 days and then take another one. I will let you all know on Saturday.

Thanks

Make sure when you take the test you are using first morning urine, no matter what the directions say. See, FMU has the highest concentration of the pregnancy hormone hCG. So, even if the box says you can use it any time, you are going to get a more accurate answer if you do it in the morning.

Also, understand that HPTs tend to give more false negatives than false positives.

You are 21 and only 3, well now 4 days late. Even for women who are perfectly regular, this is not really late.

Yes, you could be stressing and your body could be reacting as such, however, you do seem to have the symptoms. If the next test reveals a negative and you still do not start your period, you should make an appointment with your GYN to see what is going on.

Good luck to you!

Thanks for all of the information, but my period came on the 14th and I am so very sad.**Tear** But I still have all of the symptoms (CONFUSED). I started takign prenatals just in case and I am going to continue to take them. I will continue to try and I registered with one of those online ovulation calender websites, hoping that it will help me conceive. But this is the sexond time that my period has done this to me. In Oct/06 is arrived on the 28th day then in Nov/06 is was 5 days late then in Dec/06 it arrived on the 28th day and now once again in Jan/07 it was 5 days late. I don't know what is going on but I will talk it over with my doctor. I will continue to watch it closely for the next two months.

Once question with me taking prenatals before I conceive will this increase my changes of having a baby?

Taking prenatals definitely can't hurt. It might be able to help to make your body more prepared for it, but I don't think there is any connection between that and helping you conceive. Just makes your body a more favorable place for when baby does come along. ( I personally wonder if maybe it doesn't help with morning sickness, as I was taking folic acid for 8 months before baby and prenatals for the last 4 months before I got preggy. So 12 months all together. And I didn't have ms. as badly this time as I did with my son, where I didn't start taking them until my first prenantal appointment. But there is no proof to that, just my own opinion.;0)) as far as you still having symptoms and your period being late and stuff. It sounds just like what happened to me for a while. I wanted to get preggy again so badly, I was tricking my body into the symptoms, and causing my period to be late. Its hard to believe that you can actually do that to yourself, but its true. Your mind is a powerful thing, esp when you want something so badly.glad you are trying out the ovulation calender website. Hopefully that will help. Just keep your chin up, and enjoy the process. Remember the disappointments for the time it takes to get preggy, will only make it so much more special when you finally do get preggy.

Thanks... I hope the day will come soon. But I know it will only come when I am ready. It feels good to hope though.

Take Care
