TO TEST OR NOT TO TEST---THAT IS THE ?

Okay...well my mom had to take my SIL to the store so i decided i would go with just to get a test and put my mind at ease...come to find out my SIL was going to get a test too!!!!!! this is the 3rd time we both thought we were preggers at the same time!  the reason i decided to get a test was because i was up at 4:30 a.m. with bad nausea, then at 8am started throwing up and it passed around 1p.m. long story short...i haven't pee'd in 4 1/2 hours so do you think i could test now and it show up or should i wait???????????

well, my SIL doesn't want nayone to know just yet since all 3 of her pregnancies ended in an m/c....between 5-7 weeks.........but i could see her point! i didn't want to test because i felt it was to early but i am definitely testing by next Friday if not by next Tuesday/Wednesday! as for my symptoms they seem to be more prominent this morning! i went to the webmd symptom checker and the top ten reason for my symptoms in the same order are: sleep apnea-pregnancy-ectopic pregnancy-breast infection-UTI-uterine fibroids-GERD-PMS-insomnia-medication reaction!...... i am not quite sure what the symptoms of some of these are and i am on no medication so that rules out medication reaction, and i am sleeping too much so i guess that rules out the insomnia.....i have no idea, but hoping for a baby this go around is not my intention.....i just wish that my pregnancy symptoms would either be true and actually be preggo, or for them to just stop messing with my mind and emotions! i am at a loss!

maybe it's implantation?  

When I got pregnant this time, I could swear up and down that I felt the fertalized egg move down before implantation!  My husband thought I went bonkers!  Ahaha

But maybe test again in a few days, possibly the hcg isn't high enough yet!!

Hehehe what if you and your SIL were prego together?  Did you find out if she had tested already?

I don't know...I'd personally wait a couple days until I was 5 days before my period so I didn't get a negative and get bummed out...BUT if you have had success testing very early before then maybe you'll get lucky again!

8 days before AF is supposed to arrive, but with my son i had a heavy period in sept., and tested 3 weeks before AF was supposed to show in oct. and found out i was 5 weeks!

ooops forgot to say, that 4 hours inbetween the times of going pee, is best BECAUSE your hcg levels build up during that amount of time to make the test the most accurate!  Good Luck, keep us posted!

I would say just take the test! Have you missed a period yet? I tested 4 days before my period was due and got a very obvious positive!
