I drove myself crazy for the first three months of trying, thinking every little thing my body was doing was a sign of pregnancy.
Honestly, it could be either one at this point.
My advice to you is, to avoid disappointment this month, wait until your period is 7 days late and then take a HPT.
Also, my doctor told me that 70% of healthy fertile couples conceive in 12 months of trying, so to expect 12 periods before a positive. This has helped a lot as I still hope that I do get a positive before than, but it's taken the pressure off.
Good luck! I hope it works out for you!View Thread

Lower abdomen cramps could be so many things...
I would say, go to the doctor and discuss with them. I doubt you're pregnant.View Thread

I think the best thing for you at this point is to go to the doctor. Otherwise your head will be spinning about whether or not you are pregnant.
Good luck! *hugs*View Thread

And, it is possible you are being psychosomatic about the symptoms

I have done the same thing for a few months now while trying to conceive.
First, find a way to destress and not worry too much about it - otherwise this could cause your period to be late and more stress

Second, wait until your period is about a week or so late and then test.
Good luck

Women typically ovulation 14 days before their period and the egg only lives 12 to 24 hours (I'm TTC and my doctor just informed me of his
)I wouldn't stress too much about it, but if she's a week or more late, take a test just to make sure.View Thread

However, if you are anxious (which I would definitely be if I were 18 again) then you should go to the doctor and tell them whats going on and you want to know why you are so late.
It may turn out to be nothing, but it's better to know than stress about it.View Thread

I wasn't pregnant.
My doctor told me this... the majority of healthy couples trying take 6 to 12 months to conceive - expect to get 12 periods when you start trying.
When you get your IUD removed, it kind of messes with your body (especially when you have the hormonal one). Getting mine removed messed my cycle up for a few months (2 weeks late the first month and a few days early the next month).
Good luck! but don't drive yourself crazy.View Thread

BUT - if you are having odd discharge and cramps, then you could have an STD.
If you have not had your period since you had unprotected sex or your period was lighter than normal, than there is a good chance you are pregnant.
First - go to the doctor and get checked out. There are a lot of women's clinics (Planned Parenthood) that help young women just like you. Make sure you aren't pregnant and don't have any STDs.
Second - find a way to get condoms and use them. Even if you don't plan on having sex again for awhile, in the heat of the moment you don't want to be without. Always be prepared.
Good luck!View Thread

I've been on several different types of bc and each time it has a different effect on me.
chances are that it's late because of the switch, but if you don't have it by next week, take a test to see.View Thread

If I were you I'd take a test... good luck
