Not sure where to post this.. but... well, my period is over 4 days late. I have had a few cramps here and there but this isn't like me, if anything I'm 2 days early.. maybe 1 day late? Also last night I got so nauseous, the room looked like it was moving and I almost threw up. I hate throwing up, so I willed it off somehow. I never get sick or nauseous like this. It was bad! I couldn't move, just went to bed to sleep it off.
Mind you, I don't drink, eat fast food, smoke, etc.. etc.. I'm pretty healthy. Could I be pregnant? I know it's only 4 days late- and maybe I'm just over thinking I am pregnant but I can't stop thinking that is what it is. I took a pregnancy test today from the Dollar Store and it said negative.. but other forums said it could take up to 2 weeks of a missed period for the pregnancy tests to be accurate?
Thanks for any help and/or advice!

Re: Am I Pregnant?!
They sell pregnancy tests at the dollar store? I hope you're kidding. If I wasn't sure if I were pregnant I would definitely grab several pregnancy tests from a pharmacy/drug store to figure things out.

Re: Am I Pregnant?!
It’s almost always 1 or 2 days late, not 1 or 2 weeks. It was more like 1 or 2 weeks 30 years ago, standard cheapo tests these days will usually show a positive result the day or a missed period - sometimes a few days after, sometimes even a few days before.

Re: Am I Pregnant?!
I heard it was two weeks until pregnancy was seen on pregnancy tests but I'd still test anyway.

Re: Am I Pregnant?!
Of course you need to do a test, or better yet, several tests.
I hope that this pregnancy was wishful thinking. Otherwise, you need to use birth control or take birth control pills. which will be good for your mental health and peace of mind

Re: Am I Pregnant?!
Sometimes stress or other factors can mess with your cycle. It's good that you took a test, but it might be worth waiting a bit and testing again later if your period doesn't show up.
