what the heck

i have yet to take a pregnancy test, and i'm pretty sure it's early to be showing if i am pregnant, but within the past few days my stomach is looking a little bit rounder, not bloating, and i'm not one to bloat before i get my period. i'm waiting to take a pregnancy test because it hasn't been 2 weeks yet, almost but not quite. two questions, one is can i take a pregnancy test a few days before the two week mark or do i have to wait? and two, why is my stomach looking this way?

Remember to take the home pregnancy test in the morning with first morning urine, as that is the most concentrated and most likely to have the most accurate result. The first response pregnancy test is typically the most accurate, as it can detect the lowest amount of pregnancy hormone of almost all the tests, but you can use any home pregnancy test brand that you want. If you are on a budget, you can even buy a home pregnancy test at the dollar store.

Ovarian cysts are typically pretty small and you might be able to feel one, but it's not all that likely. More typically they are found during a pelvic ultra sound. If you have a lump that is not going away, it would be a good idea to have it looked at by your doctor.

alright well i'm going to take a pregnancy test tomorrow, although i don't think i'm pregnant but it's better to be safe. also, earlier i wrote that i felt like i had a lump or like air pocket feeling thing in my lower abdomen. tonight i felt it again and it was really, really hard. but it isn't there all the time. i'm not sure if it's just like air build up or what. but then i felt lower near my pelvis/hip bones and felt on each side, one lump. they kind of felt like cysts. but i'm not sure if you can feel ovarian cysts if you have them? i'm not sure. i'm trying not to stress out.

You have to wait at least 2 weeks since having sex or else the pregnancy test won't be accurate and you can get a false negative. You want to wait that long because sperm can survive inside of you for up to 7 days and also because implantation can take about a week as well after fertilization, so it is a 2 week wait before you can test.

It sounds like bloating to me, which can easily be from PMS, stress, illness, etc. It is extremely early to even be close to 'showing' if you were pregnant. Even women who "show early" in there pregnancy are typically just bloated and don't actually 'show' for another several weeks, if not more. Try to relax and wait for the 2 week mark and then take a home pregnancy test.
