Not sure if I could be pregnant...8 days late.

Hi my situation might take minute for me to explain so please bear with me as I really need some input from an actual doctor. Okay, I use an app on my phone to track when I should be getting my periods and when my fertile days are along with my day of ovulation, so I can keep up with it all. My boyfriend and I had sex back in August on the 15th and the 17th, which were two of my fertile days, and was three days before ovulation. I got what I thought was my period September 3rd and it lasted for about 4 days so I ruled out pregnancy. But the weird thing is that the period in September was 11 days late and I got it on day 12, which I found weird because they're usually only a day or two from what my app suggests. But I blamed it on stress or whatever and moved on. Well here I am today October 15th and I am now 8 days late for my period with TONS of pregnancy symptoms. I have intense heartburn that keeps me up at night, really bad bloating and heavy, swollen breasts, my areolas appear a bit darker and my nipples have this tiny bumps around them. I am also experiencing some stomach queasiness almost all throughout the day and don't have much of an appetite for anything even when I feel hungry, and I am constipated which is not me at all- I don't think I've had a bowel movement in almost 4 days :( I have also been peeing a lot more too, like I'll have the urge to go even when I e Barry drank anything since my last urination. The tiredness has kicked in today along with achy tired legs. My big question is, is there any way that I could be pregnant and I just got my period last month for some reason? My period seemed a bit shorter than usual too. Or maybe it wasn't my actual period because it was late? I do not use any type of birth control either. What do you think my chances of being pregnant are? Thank you so much for your time and I apologize for this being so lengthy.

I felt the same way, except my fiance figured out I was pregnant before I did. I ate a hotdog, and then throwing up and massive diarrhea on the greyhound bus.  the next morning I was in tremendous pain. when you are hunched over and your tummy feels like it's being torn... that's when you know your pregnant. I was rushed to the ER all tucked away in the CT scan and they administered a pregnancy test, and boom I was told I was pregnant.

I got my period 11 days late and the weird thing, is that its sooooooo much lighter and it started out brown and red. The red wasn't really too light colored but it wasn't as dark as it normally is. Today makes the 3rd day and its nothing but all brown and it doesn't even come close to filling up a pad, (sorry if tmi) lol idk I think I'm going to take another test. Should I?

Sounds like to me that you need to take a test. You can get them at the dollar discount or dollar tree for exactly $1 and they're just a good as the name brands at walmart. Good luck and let me know what happens.

I thought the cramping I had was my period coming, lol, so everyday I was just like "Oh, I'll be getting my period soon". It's funny because every other time I was late I would run out and buy a bunch of tests, and the one time I didn't worry, I waited like 2 weeks before buying a test, and I wasn't scared to take it because I was so sure my period was coming any day now.  It was a total shock because we were using biorhythms, and it changed by a week. So now I'm 22 weeks :)  take your test, it's definitely not too early.

Well I just took a pregnancy test a few minutes ago and it was negative. :( I don't understand it. I've got allll those symptoms I listed up there in my post and I just feel so blahhh. Idk. I'm so disappointed, because I really, honestly thought I was this time. :( and my period started too like just a few minutes ago right before I took the test but I took it anyway thinking it could've been implantation bleeding but the test was negative :( I wonder why my periods are always so late now which they NEVER used to be and why I'm having all these symptoms??

To cissy26: yes it sounds like it is very possible. If you had sex at all during your fertile week or on your day of ovulation, you could very well be. Have you been having any symptoms? Any like what I described I'm having? Let me know! and to Isabelle4jc: You really think so? I hope so! I am trying to not get my hopes up because last time I was 11 days late and got my period on day 12. :/ So who knows lol. I actually took a clearblue digital test today and it came up blank! >=|   lol so I am definitely getting a different kind!

Felt tight also. My period was late. About 2 weeks maybe a week before it was due I thought I had the flu. (Not throwing up... the other kind) I was sleepy and emotional. I also felt crampy so I kept thinking I was gonna start. I took a test when I was 5 days late. Good luck!

Definitely will do. Um if you don't mind me asking, how did you feel in your stomach area in your first few weeks? My stomach constantly feels so tight and full like I've eaten tons of food and I'm just really uncomfortable. Did you feel like that?

Thanks I appreciate the feedback. I actually have a clearblue digital but I'm not sure if it's the kind that would tell me how many weeks I am. I'm just nervous to take it because my period came after being 11 days late last month. But then again, I didn't have hardly any of these symptoms. I'll probably break down and take it in a day or so. Thanks again :)

Go out and buy a pregnancy test. There is literally no way for anyone to know or predict if you are pregnant or not. I would recommend the new digital ones that can tell you how far along you are if you are in fact pregnant.
