Okay guys I am 21 and I haven't had a period since may 5th. And my belly is starting to become hard. I am also getting stretch marks and my breasts have become larger and sensitive. When my grandma and mother was pregnant the home test never picked up the hormones so they had to have blood tests. But I am tight on money to pay a outrageous lab fee if I end up not being pregnant. Also I have to pee every 20 minutes it seems like. Just in case if I am I quit smoking and drinking. I even started to eat more healthier. I also been having like little pains which I dont know if its kicks or not. Can someone please help me , what do you guys think. Please I need to know so I can get the help I need to make sure if the baby will be healthy
Hi Leandreal,
Take the home test. They've come a long way in the past few years as to being reliable.
Be sure to use your very first morning urine when you test for the best accuracy. By now, it should be accurate.
Regardless of the outcome you need to see your doctor. If you are pregnant you need prenatal care. If you are not, you need to find out why you aren't having your periods. It can indicate a hormonal problem.
Good luck.
Ok thanks , I will go out and buy one. How do I know whih one to trust? And if I go to my doctor do I ask for a lab or ultrasound sound? Or both? And thanks for your reply.
Use a name brand test, not a cheap dollar store one. Let your doctor decide on what tests to do and when.
Good luck.
