possibly pregnant

[courtcoco]

So, im 20yrs old and I've had regular periods all my life, they happen every month at the same time, lasting up to 4-5days. this month tho my period hasn't come at all,i was supposed to start july 26 but its now august 3 and still nothing and it maks me 8 days late. Ive had a few cramping and fell like my boobs are getting bigger and my food craving has changed and I've been a little more emotional( i was crying the other morning cause i couldn't find a hair band of mine) I've takin a few HPT but they all say negative and i take them in the mornings. i want to go see a doctor but they won't see me till a test says positive but all mine come up negative. Whats going on?

No they'll only see if you're pregnant. I use to smoke weed every day and when my OB did do a drug test I already stopped smoking but it was still in my system but I explained and he wasn't concerned at all he understood and reminded me there could be worse things in my system!

Also weed can't harm your baby especially if you just occasionally do it so don't worry just quit as soon as you find out

if i do a blood test will they also look to see if i smoke ? do a drug screen?cause I'm an occasional smoke of weed or will they just do a blood test to see if I'm pregnant and they dont drug screen ?

Mostly all clinics do a pee test you could possibly ask for a blood test just mention you might be too early to detect a urine test but that's really up to them I know some clinics do a early pregnancy test but that's in California idk if all states do it at their clinics

Avas mommy, I experienced symptoms two days before my missed period so what I'm simply saying is if she hasn't had a period since June 26 and isn't getting a positive test that she's obviously not even a month yet which is rare to get symptoms so quickly and stress on the mind will cause symptoms

Imma keep my appointment tomorrow. When i go its at the 1st step here where i live. and they will be doing a pee test. what kinda test do they use? is it better then the 1st step hpt I've been using?

Just be patient. There's no point in stressing because if you are pregnant it's not safe for the baby. And if you occasionally smoke you're fine just stop once you actually find out. I was four weeks when I found out and I was smoking and drinking and I'm due Wednesday and my son is completely healthy.

I know it's so cliche to say but just be patient.
Plus it sounds like you are pregnant So just be positive and be sure to keep us updated!

I would keep your appointment to be safe. And I disagree with comment above. I found out I was pregnant at 5 weeks and had symptoms 2 days after my missed period. Every woman is different.

we've been sexually active not using anything for a good year and a half or so we've been together for 3 years now, and my period hasn't changed I'm just nervous if i am pregnant i just wanna hurry up and know cause I'm an occasional smoker and have stop cause I'm thinking I'm pregnant but the test say negative so I'm just waiting it out i hope it would come out possitive id be so thrilled

Even if you were pregnant it'd be way to early to experience symptoms so that's probably just you over thinking and stressing yourself out which is normal. Of course anyone would stress.

When you become extremely more active with sex it will change your period cycle and vice versa. I use to always have my periods at the end of the month 5-6 ALWAYS normal when me and my fiancé got together and I became a lot more active it changed to the second week or so.

I would still go it wouldn't hurt you to check. If it comes up negative and you still don't get your period just wait it out and be patient. You could be pregnant and not get a positive just yet!

i have an appointment tomorrow for a pregnancy test with my healthcare should i still go to it or wait longer?

[courtcoco]

I've never have missed a period in my life like never been late and well recently me and my boyfriend have been active and not using anything. I've also have a few symptoms but nothing major. when would be a time to test? how long should i wait for the next test?

[xojensen_]

Have you've been having sex more or less often? Stressing at all? All three things can be a change of your cycle.

Also wait about a good two weeks after your missed period to take another test.
Also reccomend possibly looking into a women's clinic for a pregnancy test

You could still be to early to detect on a pregnancy test or you thinking your pregnant can make your body delay your period
