Should i take a pregnancy test?

Question

Hello,
​
​So I'm in a bit of a dilemma and im hoping someone will have some helpful insight.
​
​I reallllyy want to be pregnant!
​
​My last normal period started on march 24, and since then my husband and I have regularly engaged in sexual activity, including during my fertile window. Based on my cycle, AF was supposed to arrive on April 26. I am NEVER early and my period lasts the full seven days, just the amount lf bleeding decreases after 4 days.
​
​This time around i got what i think is my period on April 24, it was normal heavy bleeding but brownish in color. It lasted only 2 days, and then 3rd day pretty much nothing. Since then no bleeding at all, pads r totally clean! This has nt happened before!
​
​I am also experiencing symptoms. Ive been constantly feeling nauseous and  have headaches. Also, I have diarrhea. The other day someone was smoking outside and once they came and sat inside i felt a sudden urge to vomit! And my head started hurting more. Also, other smells of like essential oils are putting me off. N today, i was brushing my teeth and the minty taste made me want to barf. Should i take a pregnancy test or are these signs perhaps just manifestations of my desire? :(
​
​I have also been feelig a tightness in my lower abdomen if i cough or stretch. Like i hold my stomach when i cough. 
​
​Help please! Any insight will be greatly appreciated!

Answer

Yes definitely test and it could be a false negative at this point so wait a week and test again!

Answer

I'm in a similar situation. I started what I think was my period 4 days early but it wasn't quite as heavy as usual. Now on my second day and I'm not bleeding very much which is unusual because usually my second day is my heaviest.
​I've been nauseous and peeing constantly. I'm buying a test today and I'm going to probably take it in the morning just to ease my mind if nothing else. I'm trying not to get my hopes up, as I know it's unlikely I'm pregnant. But, I just want to be sure as I didn't get a chance to test before because the period came on 10 DPO.

Same thing happened to me with my February period. I was early, had heavy bleeding the first day, the second day was medium, and then it was gone. I felt nauseas, extremely fatigued and weak and had stomach aches... I ended up taking a pregnancy test a week after the "period that didn't feel like a period" and unfortunately it was negative. :( I've had two periods since then too. Sometimes I wonder if it was a chemical pregnancy .. Or if I'm just crazy. Haha.

Answer

I definitely think you should take a pregnancy test. If it comes up negative wait until your period is supposedly due and take another one. It sounds to me like you could be pregnant and that the two days you bled could have been implantation bleeding. I would definitely take a test

Answer

The mint and smells turning you off sounds like it. It did the same thing to me, even now after 5 year I still can't chew gum.
