Have you missed your period yet? If you haven't then you may want to wait until your next one is due to see if it comes or not. If it doesn't, or it does but is very light and spotty, then you may want to take a pregnancy test. If you don't want to wait for that then you could take one now just to ease your mind. However, it may be to soon to show a positive if you are pregnant! I hope it works out for you! Keep us posted!
ok soo im really scared now, i have nothing but cramps in the lower part of my stomach, and a dull pain on one side ? how long should i wait to take a pregnacy test..?
It is called: OVULATION discharge:)
It is possible that could have been the discharge from you ovulating. Also, when you get pregnant your discharge changes as well. Wait a couple weeks and you might want to go take a hpt to see if maybe you are pregnant! Keep me posted
