Am I pregnant?

Hi, I'm 21 years old and usually have regular periods. In december it was the 31st and in january it was on the 30th, so in February I thought it would be the 29th but I didn't come on until the 6th of march. So I guessed this month it would be the 6th or somewhere before but it is now the 8th and I still haven't come on my period. My nipples are really sore and I have really bad back ache (although i did a lot of sweeping up last week) and I'm having some stomach pains on and off. I can't afford to buy a test because I don't get my wages until may 7th but I can't wait until then, if I probably am then I will go go the doctors and do a test but if I'm probably not then I don't want to waste their time. Help??

They can do blood work but if you have a dollar store in or near your town those tests are perfectly fine and its much cheaper than a blood draw or dr appt. Blood work would give you a definate tho but thurs shouldn't be to early to tell if you go then. Also you can have free tests given at planned parenthood or a place like that. They don't charge anything.

If you had a baby 6 months ago then that is why you are leaking milk from your breats, you wouldn't leak milk during pregnancy at only a few weeks. I had a miscarraige a few years ago when I was 18 at around the same stage as you and there were clots in my blood for months after, the body can take a while to clear it out. The discharge can be normal but it sound as though you have maybe a water infection or something. I doubt that you are pregnant but you should take a test and if you're not I'd still go to the docs about the discharge x
