I have been monitoring my period's dates. Last period was Nov.11 with an average of 29 days. what i haven't monitored is my BBT. Although my daily routine sort of changed in november, so i'm sorta hoping that just a change in my routine caused me to miss my period. i had this kind of experience 2 years ago when i lacked sleep for almost a week that my period skipped for a month. I had sex on Dec 12, 13 and 14. I thought that it was safe (we have been practicing withdrawal method for almost 6 years). I was feeling bloated on the 10th and 11th, felt slight cramps on the 13th and 14th. Yesterday my husband noticed that i seem to have an above normal body temp. I am also acidic, always drinking coffee and eating cofee candies evry hour, and am a smoker. He and i are not planning for a baby yet. Could i be ovulating wen we had sex on the above dates? Could i be pregnant? Could home pregnancy tests detect it this early in time? i'm kinda worried. Thanks...
Well, it is good that you are keeping such good track of these things. Are you under high stress lately? That also can throw your period off balance. But I suggest you go and take a pregnancy test. That will be a sure way to know for sure.
A pregnancy test can detect a pregnancy as early as 4 to 5 days before your period, so yes the test is capable of detecting your pregnancy. But your missed period could be caused by stress....but you could just as likely be pregnant. Just take the test....
Just want to throw out there that you can get support in charting at www.ovusoft.com so you can avoid the 'two week wait' in the future! Definitely take a test!
