Should I wait and take another pregnancy test?

Once you begin feeling symptoms of pregnancy, it’s usually ok to take a pregnancy test.

Normally, if you cycle is 28 days long, you would have ovulated around day 14 of your cycle. If your period is due on July 2nd, you should have ovulated around the 18th of June. This is when your egg would have been fertilized. Then it free floats through your tube and into your uterus. It normally takes about 10 days for the fertilized egg to implant into the lining of your uterus. So.. implantation would occur about .. today. THIS is when your body will release the hormone called HcG. HcG is what gives you pregnancy symptoms and also the hormone that home pregnancy tests look for. But it normally takes a few days for the quantity of the HcG hormone to be detected and for it to cause symptoms. You can take a home pregnancy test today.. if you really are pregnant, it might come back positive. If it is negative, take another on Friday.

If you were already experiencing pregnancy symptoms and think you may have gotten pregnant last month (some women will still have their next period.. but it’s normally lighter than usual), then a pregnancy test today should confirm. However, Dr’s tests are very accurate, so I would doubt that his/her test was wrong.

Anyway.. take a test today.. ease your mind. Hope everything works out well for you!

If you are NOT pregnant.. these could also be symptoms of anemia, or even the flu. If your symptoms are not going away, and your home pregnancy tests still come up negative, I would go back to the dr and ask him/her to do extensive tests to find out what the real problem is. It could be serious.. and it could be nothing.

Luck to ya!
