Getting pregnant

Hi ladies, I'm trying to get pregnant. My first blood and urine tests were negative. Could it be too early to test? My last period was on August 6th, so I still have 7 days to go. My last intercourse was 2 days ago. Can I still be pregnant and when should I test? Please answer as soon as possible.

    As soon as possible answer, can I be pregnant?

    I've been urinating more often, feeling nauseous, vomiting, dizzy, and there's fluid coming from my breast.

    It's just so irritating that you open 7 topics to ask the exact same thing!!!!
    7 days before your period is too early to test. Seriously... Just wait. Your symptoms could also be caused by other things. Test at the earliest 4 days before your period. Then you might see a line if you're pregnant. And if not, test on or after your period. But stop creating new topics.

    I completely agree with Joy's opinion!

    Yeah, sorry about that, but I just want to know for sure if I'm pregnant or not.

    We don't have a crystal ball, do we? Blood tests don't say. Of course Maja says everything that you're not pregnant because 7 days before your period is nothing measurable. So wait and see. Everyone has to go through this.

    We can't give you that certainty here. We can only empathize with you. Hang in there a little longer. Seven days before the expected period, implantation might still be ongoing, and there may not be enough hCG in your blood yet to test for it.
    Patience is a beautiful virtue.

    Yeah, but I have all the symptoms.

    No one here can give you certainty whether you're pregnant or not. At 7 days past ovulation, symptoms aren't really that significant yet. You'll just have to wait and see. That's really the only advice.

    When can I test then?

  11. EstHe #12

    As was just said. At the earliest, 4 days before your due date. But that still doesn't give real certainty.

    I think it's better if you stop posting the same question over and over again. There are no answers yet.
    You'll have to wait, just like everyone else who is trying to get pregnant.

    Okay, I'll do it.

    For someone trying to conceive, it might be helpful to read up on the menstrual cycle . As mentioned above, it's still way too early to test, so if you really want certainty, you'll have to be patient for a few more days. Opening 100 threads here won't give you any more certainty.

    By the way, I'm wondering, if you say blood and urine tests are negative, which doctor was so foolish as to test this early... I only got a blood test after I had a positive test...

    So my tip: read up on the cycle and read lots of posts here on the forum. You'll also realize that 'symptoms' don't mean much. A woman who really wants to get pregnant can easily be misled by her own body.

    Sorry, but am I the only one who thinks that if someone is so unaware, meaning they don’t even know how it works in terms of days, etc., they shouldn’t start having kids yet?
    Read up, gain knowledge about what to expect, be prepared, and then go for it.
    No, 7 days before your period is not enough to detect pregnancy. There’s too little hCG for a positive test. Of course, there are exceptions. But demanding an answer when you’re testing negative is really unnecessary! And impossible too.
    Chill out, have regular sex, talk about the stress of waiting, and read up. It’ll definitely work out. And most importantly; have fun!!

    I just checked; you're pregnant! Congratulations, you can go ahead to "expecting May 2020"

  16. Joy #17

    Hahaha Mila, your post

    Just because you have all the symptoms doesn't mean anything at all. Our bodies are really good at fooling us. I spent 3 years trying to get pregnant and how many times I thought I was pregnant because I had symptoms... Unfortunately, it wasn't true! If you have a 28-day cycle, you can wait at least 4 or 5 days before taking a test, but it's best to wait a week. How long have you been off the pill or are you trying to get pregnant now?

    What do you think? Pregnant or not? Took the test on DUE DAY.
