Pregnant or not?
BibiGuest ·
Hi ladies,
I'm 3 days late today. I've taken a test every day since Thursday, but they've all been negative (Action brand). I usually get my period regularly, so 3 days late is new for me. I also don't have any typical period symptoms; normally I get some cramps a few days before my period starts, but not now.
I've been feeling very tired for a few days, have quite a bit of lower back pain, and am very emotional. I'm worried I might be pregnant because I had 3 glasses of wine a few days ago! I want to do everything right, but my partner and I were planning to start trying in October. I was a bit careless this month and had unprotected sex 2 days before my ovulation. I honestly thought I wouldn't get pregnant, which is why I had those glasses of wine.
What do you think, is my body playing tricks on me, or is there a chance I'm really pregnant? By the way, I'm 24 and my partner is too!
Hope someone can help me out here.
Love, Bibi

Has anyone else had a similar experience? And still ended up pregnant? -

Just do a test again in a few days. As I read it, there's a chance you're pregnant. Did you use morning urine for the test? That's best because you drink more during the day, so your urine is more diluted then; morning urine is the most concentrated.
Don't worry too much about those wines. Last weekend I had 3 (quite large) glasses of wine, and in the weeks before that, I also had a little wine here and there, and last week I found out I was pregnant (about 6 weeks).
It's true that once you know, you shouldn't drink anymore, and if you're actively trying, you shouldn't either. But some women find out very late (I know someone who found out at 7 months) and did everything in between that's actually not supposed to be done when pregnant. That doesn't necessarily mean something is wrong with your baby. The risk is just higher, but you could still have a healthy baby. -

Hi Lena, thanks for your reply.
I'll pick up the tests from Kruidvat tomorrow. I heard they're very accurate and don't need much of the hormone to detect it. I did the tests in the morning, but they were still negative. I've read on the forum that other women also tested negative at first, so it's just a matter of waiting.
Fortunately, those few glasses of wine probably didn't make a difference. I'm not really a drinker, so these were my only glasses in 5 months. From now on, I'll completely avoid drinking just to be safe.
I'm really curious and think I won't be able to resist testing again tomorrow. I'll post an update here if I know more!
