I just need someone to tell me, who has been through this already, what are the signs that you could possibly be pregnant? I know the whole no period and nausea thing but i dont wanna wait that long. I'm worried about nothing here. Just need someone to convince me to stop worrying about nothing please. Meaning I'm pretty sure I'm not but i still worry because i worry about nothing. Help please

Not sure what you are asking here OP?

What are you worried about?

Lineman · 28/08/2019 06:28

How can i tell really early that I'm not pregnant? So that i can stop worrying for nothing. Like what is the earliest you can tell?

I had tender breasts in the first few weeks. Can't you just take an early test?

Yes that's exactly what ill have to do. Thank y'all so much. I just have trouble not being too dramatic or worrisome. Thank you all again

You need to let HCG build up in your body, that's why they say to wait until you miss your period.

I can honestly say, the two times I have been pregnant I didn't have any symptoms until I was about 6 or 7 weeks.

I am sorry you are worrying so much, there isn't really s sure fire way to know unfortunately.

You're unlikely to have any definitive symptoms any earlier than you can take a test. Have you missed a period? If so you can take a test now to check.

I had painful boobs before I got a positive test - before I'd even considered taking a test actually. We were trying for a baby but I'd managed to take it as it comes rather than obsessing so I wasn't particularly looking for symptoms but I could not ignore how painful my boobs were. Hope you get the result you want. Try and stay calm.

Well, testing before you're due on your period is sometimes too early to detect any hormone changes in your pee.

I had ZERO symptoms I was pregnant. I woke up a day before my period was due and bought clear blue early detection as I just woke up and felt different, but not in the sense that i had sore boobs or anything like that.

I just had a weird feeling that something was going on. We weren't officially trying to get pregnant, just a sort of "let's see what happens, no pressure" anyway, so it's not like I had pregnancy on my mind 24/7.

My symptoms started after my BFP. Sickness started at around 6 weeks and lasted until 17 weeks. Sore boobs from 5-9 weeks, tiredness generally all the way through first trimester..... and I got super hairy on my tummy.

There are no definitive ways to tell unfortunately bar a test.. and you can’t rely on those two early on. Your best bet is a First Response where you can test 6 days before your missed period in theory but that’s early. I’ve never got positives until much nearer my period.

Pregnancy symptoms kick in at 6 weeks preg for me. Prior to that, I had heartburn a couple times which I only ever get when pregnant.. but otherwise nothing!

Why are you so worried? Do you want to be pregnant or not so worrying?
