Just curious...

But what (other than the obvious of "being late") were the symptoms that you had that prompted you to get a preggers test?

Cause I've looked up the signs on the medical websites and nothing applies to me other than "being late." And I don't want to waste money on a test in case I am just late which has honestly happened before. And my husband doesn't need a heart attack right now.

    you could wait another couple of weeks, I mean if you're not you'll have saved yourself the price of a test. If you are, then chances are you still will be in a couple of weeks. I don't think husbands hear very much difference between "I'm 5 weeks pregnant" and "I'm seven weeks pregnant"

    with my 2nd one I didn't even notice I was late and the first sign was nausea, then when I counted back I found out I was about 7 weeks gone, and asked my husband to buy a test, which was positive. I have a friend who went all the way to 5 months before finding out she was pregnant, because the only symptom she had was indigestion and as she has PCOS it was normal for her to miss her period for several months. She only found out because a doctor examined her stomach to try and find the cause of the constant indigestion.... well he found it all right lol and booked her in for a scan.

    Dollar store tests are great. And a dollar. ;)

    Mine were all different. My first - before I was even late, my boobs KILLED. I couldn't even lay down to sleep. My second was just a general queasy feeling that I couldn't shake. My third... I just knew. Woke up and had that 'well crap' feeling. Lol.
    That sounds bad. I was shocked but it turned out just right.

    I had NO idea I was pregnant. My friend told me on April Fools day she was engaged and I said yea & I'm pregnant. Thinking she was kidding. Boy was I wrong! I had NO signs what so ever that I was pregnant. LoL

    Sore breasts, nausea, and most of all, an aversion to strong smells.

    Sensitive nipples, sense of smell was insanely stronger, and I got car sick (which never happens).

    Nada! I didn't find out until I was 5 1/2 months along. Spend the $10 and find out.

    breasts aching is another sign, but that didn't start until i was about 8 weeks pregnant. also more pain and cramping in that area... being late, obviously! you could even take a test now if you wanted to know. i found out when i was only like 5 weeks pregnant or a week after my missed period.

    I was eating everything in sight and was losing weight. My craving was mexican pizzas from taco bell with sour cream and a large soda...everyday...for about 3 weeks. If my boyfriend didn't eat and drink his food fast enough, I ate his too...:laugh:

    I had mild cramping and AF wasn't due for like a week! I would just pick up a test at Walmart and find out for sure... Good Luck!

    I'd just get a test from Dollar Tree (or similar). That way you're only out $1 and you'll know. Not knowing is just added stress for me. Good luck either way :)
