still nervous

I'm now 8 days late and have been experiencing naseua daily when I wake up, fatigue, and frequent urination. Every test comes up negative. I'm never late. Today I got light brown spotting, but only a little bit when I pee. It would be about 21 days after ovulation. Could this be implantations bleeding? I'm freaking out. I desperately need advice.

Nervous

So
here's the deal, I sort of need advice. My fiance and I recently relocated to the other end of the country and life has been hectic. In may I ran out of my birthcontroll pills, and abstained for a week or so then continued our usual routine of 3 times a day. I got my period on June 20 and wasn't worried. Since then ive had lost of unprotected sex, and after the fact, I came to find that we had when I was predicted to ovulate. I'm now 2 days late. The reason for my concern is, even though I tested on the day of my expected period and it was negative, I've been feeling funny the past 2 weeks. I wake up almost every morning with a headache, I sleep for ages, I feel quesiness come on quick then pass from time to time, I'm suddenly crying over stupid things, my cha-chas are incredibly painful and swollen, I have to pee 6 times a night, I have wicked heartburn (even when I first wake up in the morning), and I'm constipated ( sorry if that's too much info). Could I be pregnant?

To Erica

Hi Erica,

I wanted to tell you to wait a little bit before you take the next test. When I found out I was pregnant, I didn't get a positive test for the first week or so, because I had actually ovulated late.

There is also the possiblity that you, too, ovulated late this month and you period is delayed. Stress of waiting for you period to come and the thought of being pregnant can also affect the start of your period.

If you still have not gotten your period in a week or so, go straight to your doctor and request a blood test. They can detect much smaller amounts of the pregnancy hormone HCG. If you are not pregnant, the doctor can prescribe something to bring on your period.

Regardless, God will not give you more than He knows you can handle. Babies have a way of bringing families together, and you might find that they are supportive. Considering that you're married, you are one step ahead of many people that find out they are pregnant. And, remember, you can't wait for every single situation in your life to be in order before you have children or you will never have a baby!

Good luck and be thankful for the support of God and your husband.

Am I?

So, i am a little over a week late for my period. I took a pregnancy test and it said I wasn't pregnant, so I figured i took the test a little prematurely and that i would start my period i a day or two. that was 3 days ago. I still haven't gotten my period. my husband and i both want kids but I'm not sure that i am ready for children YET. He keeps telling me that either way it will be fine but I'm just not sure. Typically for my periods they are not steady, but i am not normally this late. Im one week and one day late. I waned to wait till i was out of college to have children.

I don't want my family to be upset with me. My sister is the problem child and I am the one that they had such hopes and expectations for. We all figure by now that my sister would be pregnant, no one thinks i will be. I can see their faces if i am you know? the disappointment. I know that my husbands family will be supportive, they will have a few snire faces here and there but mostly supportive. Im not too sure how my family would react. they are the typical New England family. All prim and proper.

i'm just scared.

My husband says, what ever happens it will be ok and that we will be ok, i'm just so scared.

ive wanted children for a while now but actually having one is differant i wanted to have a child when i was done with school and we had a house the whole 9 yards.

Im just so scared.

I guess now its up to God.

I know he had a plan but im still scared. i haven't had any pregnancy signs that i know of. no nausea, or cramping or anything like that.

Im just so scared, we want kids but we just aren't ready for them yet.
