I think a baby would be nice! Are you going to the store?? Or are you going to wait till tomarrow?? Some people have better luck with the over the counter tests, but I had great luck with them! I would think that if it wasn't a baby it would just be the begining of that time! I hope its a baby though... thats way more fun!!

I'm going to wait till tomorrow. My tummy still feels like crud and I'm getting a headache.
I have to grocery shop anyway so I'll get one there. I think I'm going to go lay on the couch and watch some Golden Girls for a while.

I'll let you guys know soon as I know!

Under the cats, mostly.
Sounds like a likely explanation - I have to admit that the home pregnancy tests are pretty darn good. Definitely spot on with mine at least! But you're not supposed to take the test until after your periods due date. I would suggest getting a twofer, take one now, and one after Friday if you're late. You'll be surprised how accurate they are. for you!

Simple test for you though, if you're feeling nauseous, eat a ginger biscuit. If the nausea lets up a bit, my bet would be on you being pregnant
Actually, it's where I'm putting my money anyway, but only because I love babies!!


It could just be that because you're due on friday that your body is busy doing all sorts of wierd stuff. My body generally is pretty predictable, but sometimes on rare occasions, it goes into complete hyperdrive and makes me feel awful! But yes or no, it's good to know!! Keep us posted!!

I'm usually so predictable that my first cramp arrives at 11:30am on Friday and my period at 12:30!
Sometimes it'll wait till Saturday at 12:30 though. Prior to going on BC, like 5 years ago, I would get one or two good cramps a day for three days and then it would come.


I'm getting ready to run my errands now so we'll see what I find in the store. If I can, I think I will get more than 1 brand and enough so I can take one after I'm due for my TOM too.

Well I picked up a three pack and the first came back negative. I think I'll take one in the morning and one Friday or something like that.

I've heard it's best to take them first thing in the morning as your pee has sat in your bladder accumulating those pregnancy hormones..or something like that

Thats what they say but I have not found that to be the case.

1 I took in the middle of the day and glow like the north star positive. I was 12 weeks.

3 tests I took either mid day or at night the day I was suppose to start and the glow like the north star positive.

I don't know really. I'm ok with it, but I'd have been excited to have a positive result too. I guess I'm just trying to keep my hopes in the middle range here.

Best to rule that in or out right away!

I agree on the two pack of preggers test. If you read the instructions, some don't want you to do the test until the morning of your first day. I guess your pregnant hormones are most predominant.

Good luck! Hopefully you find an answer to your stomach aches!
