Question:
Ok, so it's been like a three week process now, and I still have no idea if I'm pregnant. I have tested negative two times, but I have read about several women who only showed positive on a home test after a few months. I went through about two weeks of nausea and even had constipation, but I thought it was a stomach virus since that seems to be going around...but this was directly after I had a short abnormal period. I am on the pill, so this all compounds to make me more period, since I had trouble with cylcing in January. It is now march and I thought everything should be fine, but my mom is convinced that I am pregnant. I now have a stuffy nose, and I'm hoping it is due to allergies...and I am waiting for my next period. It should come in about 5 days. But the last one was about 3-4 days shorter than normal...and I always have a 7 day period, that was my first warning sign. So, was it just a stomach virus, or am I pregnant? I'm freaking out because I just don't know, and it may still be too early to tell. If my next period is wierd, then I guess I should just go for the blood test, but how soon do they show if you are or aren't pregnant? I just don't know what to think. Somebody help! I need some advice here. Confused in Texas

Answer:
The only way to find out for sure is from a pregnancy blood test. There is no point in driving yourself crazy wondering when you can get the real answer from a doctor.
