Late for my period
by Calientemommy, Oct 12, 2006 12:00AM
Ok, As of September I got my period 4 days late, It wasn't as much as it normally is! I have Endometriosis so for me not to have a horrible period is very od. this month I have not gotten my period I'm now 1 week late. I took a Digital test two days ago, it said " not pregnant" but the strip had one dark blue line, and one very faint line.. Does this mean anything?
Then I took the second test out of the box, and it caused an error.. but when I took the strip out The second faint line, is now VERY visable!!! I was told by a friend that she did this same test and the same thing happened to her, and that she was pregnant!!!! I have had very sore breasts, morning sickness that last through out the day.. my tummy is a bit swollen... I guess my question is... is it possible I am pregnant? What test would anyone suggest I get now to re-test?
Thank you!

It sure sounds like you are pregnant.I dont think your tummy would be swollen this early in a pregnancy but the sore breasts and morning sickness sound suspicious. I think you should go see a doctor and get a blood test. At the moment, I would presume that you are pregnant and not drink alcohol until you find out for sure. Any doctor can give you a simple blood test and you can find out quite quickly.
Take another test in a couple of days.
The lines inside a digital test are not like the lines on a regular hpt. You can have two lines and still not be pg.
You really should go to the doctor and I do agree with the others until you know for sure you shouldn't risk anything by drinking or taking any OTC meds that aren't allowed during pregnancy. Good Luck!
