2 days before I took a positive test I felt like I had taken a benadryl I was so tired! I never got sick or had any pain. Just very tired.
From my experience, an early sign of pregnancy is breast tenderness and an absence of a period at the time it is due, like a week or two late. The accuracy of the home pregnancy tests usually are a good indicator. Although when you first become pregnant, your body makes the HCG hormone and you go from zero to doubleing that amount every 48 hours. So it is possible that your pregnancy is just too early to trigger the pregnancy test strip. But if it doesn't trigger the test stip to be positive, usually the other symptoms are not there also. I hope this makes sence to you. Try not to be too anxious, it only causes you more symptoms. Your fatigue could be from lack of sleep as you stated. If you fail to have a period at the time it is due to begin, you may not have ovulated that particular time. This can make you periods irregular. Women can be as regular as a clock and then for unknown reasons begin being irregular in their cycle. One thing we know for sure.....time will tell, if you are or if you are not pregnant. Try to relax and enjoy the moment. I am a mother of two and a nurse for many years. Best to you...Helen
Just curios...were u pregnant???
I am 6 weeks pregnant with my second child, I have an almost 3yrd old little princess. I am experiencing symptoms much earlier with this pregnancy than with the first. Very tired, nausea from 10-12 every morning, heartburn from everything even water, forgetfulness and hormone surges. I actually started crying while watching Jeopardy because they announced that it was family week. Those are just a few of the normal pregnancy symptoms. Just remember every woman is different and every pregnancy is different......oh yeah & I feel like I have a UTI, especially when I wake up during the middle of the night to go to the bathroom!
Good luck, I hope you are pregnant!!!
everyone is different.The first thing I remember was a bladder infection.Try first response I used it and found out several days before my period.
if you think that you are pregnant, the best thing that you can do is schedule an appointment to see your Gyno. It is possible to be pregnant and have a negative test. Speaking from experience, I went through this time period where all of my friends were having babies, and i so desperatly wanted to experince the same that I had stessed myself to the point of having the same symptoms that you were describing, without actually being pregnant. I now have an 11 month old. When I found out I was pregnant, I was five weeks along and had only missed one cycle. I remember feeling tired and naucious, but no stomach pains until the about half way through the second month. The feeling like you have to pee all the time was almost instantanious for me. If you don't want to go into the doc just yet....wait a week to two weeks even if you miss your period and take another test. It could just be that you are pregnant and don't have enough of the hormone in your body to show (+) on the test. Make sure that when you test, that you do it first thing in the morning, you'll have the most concentrated amount of the preg hormone in your body at this time. Good Luck
Honestly, I would say wait it out and if you haven't started a couple of days after you think it is time then test again. I was in your shoes a couple of months ago and really wanted to be pregnant. I experienced all of the symptoms you have listed and I even took a pt early which was negative. I ended up starting right on time. I did a little research though and it turns out that your body releases the hormone progesterone immediately after ovulation that can slow down the digestive track, leading to heartburn, nausea, gas, and constipation/diarrhea. I hope that you really are pregnant if that is what you want but I wouldn't start picking out nursery colors just yet!
Tasha,
I felt the same way when I was first pregnant with my son. I had to use the restroom a lot more frequently, was constantly hungry and nauseous (not a good combination!), and felt bloated and uncomfortable. I took two tests the week before my period and they were both negative. Then after I missed my period, I took two more and they were both positive! I would just hang in there and wait until you miss or don't miss your period (some people have a period even though they are pregnant)! Good luck to you!!

Unfortunately, this is how I feel EVERY month, from my PMS symptoms! Wait til you are a week over due, then tak a test.
Hi Tasha,
I have had 2 pregnancys. I was very tired. I needed to pee all the time. My boobs were very sore. I was very nauseated and on the verge of throwing up and did throw up for 3 months. Sounds like you may be pregnant. Is this your first? You might go out if you have a dollar store and buy a dollar pregnancy test and they are very accurate for only a dollar. Hope you are pregnant if you want to be and hope you are not sick if you are pregnant. I am 49 and have grandkids now. hope I helped you. WRite anytime. Take care, Pam
Usually you will not feel those signs of pregnancy until you are a little further along. You could be experiencing those signs simply because you are fixing to start. Good Luck
These could be signs (that's how I felt). I also felt bloated, hungry...like I could eat a horse, and had a bad cold/sinus infection. Home pregnancy tests can give false negatives. I had three negative home tests with my second pregnancy. Of course I never got my period following my first child's birth, so I could have taken them too early.
The best test is at the doc's office. Good luck!
I have been coping with severe nausea and vomiting and nothing was helpful to ease my sickness unless I started drinking no to morning sickness tea.
Thanks to all of you for your responses. I have gotten alot of great advise. I have taken another home test and it is still neg. My period is not due for several more days so I will just be patient and wait it out. I will update again for anyone who wants to know i my symtoms were pregnancy related or not! Thanks again to all of you!
