Question

So, my boyfriend and I use no sort of contraceptives so obviously there is a high possibility of pregnancy no matter what.
BUT - I have been irregular the past few months, it almost seems like it's been bi-monthly. My last period ended on the 4th of September. It was a normal 7 day period. Then I didn't ovulate until I believe the 4th of this month which I can't be positive about but I had the "eggy" stuff come out accompanied by those wonderful ovulation cramps. We have sex just about every night, sometimes more than once, a few nights we skipped.

Well, yesterday I felt a tugging in my lower tummy.

This was weird, it was not gas bubbles. I know what gas feels like, this was just weird. It was almost like something gently tapping on my right ovary, almost by my bladder and earlier that day I noticed my nipples were extra sensitive to the touch.

My breasts are a bit tender but not horrible this morning.

On top of that, I finally fell asleep at about 2am this morning and woke up at 3:15ish because I was extremely thirsty.

After about 10 minutes I fell back to sleep and had the most vivid dream I think I've ever experienced which woke me up at 6:30am and I can't fall back to sleep now. (it's almost 10am)

I have chronic constipation but yesterday and today is was loose. (Kind of gross, but hey..)
That's super strange for me.

Last, I just got out of the shower and had very itchy upper thighs on the outside that developed really tiny red dots.. Probably from scratching. It was strange.

I'm not sure if I ovulated, I'm not sure if AF is about to start.. I just don't know. Should I spend the money on a pregnancy test?

What do you think? This is the first month where I have been really doubtful about being pregnant

Answer 1

I would definitely take a test, especially if you are irregular. The symptoms you've listed sound like pregnancy ones to me. The dollar store usually has cheap tests that work just as well as a name brand test (though if you do get a positive, back it up with something reliable). You can also order cheap tests online:



www.early-pregnancy-tests.com



Or try eBay. Your friends might also have tests lying around in drawers (check the expiry date). If you don't want to tell them it's for you, say it's for a friend or relative who is underage, and you're helping them out.



If you get a negative test result, wait another couple weeks and test again.



Good luck!
