Can you tell if your pregnant?

[lubecki161]

You know how people say you just 'Know'?
I've put on ALOT of weight recently mainly around my tummy- my breasts have gone from an E to a G etc but but ive always had problems with my periods and ive always been quite weighty! So when i google all my problems pregnancy always pops up! Im finding it hard to tell as ive never really understood my body! I've only had sex a few times since September and i just don't feel pregnant! Does that make sense? What do you guys think?

Your body can change at a certain time of the month anyway.

The only way to tell for sure is to do a pregnacny test.

Get yourself down to Boots/Superdrug!!!!!

the only way to know for sure is to do a test, but you know your body best and you should go with Your instinct.

[lubecki161]

Ive only got a boots in my town! Ive got the doctors tomorrow so ill see then i guess!

[redcrx]

ask them to run a test.
it could just be that your weight is fluctuating a lot and there are things that affect periods other than pregnancy.

Any news?

Just in answer to your question, personally I didn't 'KNOW/FEEL' pregnant until I had done the test & it said positive! In fact I came on this site & asked the same questions you just did, signs ect. As for the weight issue, I wouldn't put that down to pregnancy (my opinion). I've only grown a bump outwards & that took 4 months.

Well i took a text at 5 last night and it was negative - i had a doctors appointment this morning and he was as helpful as ever! Said the fact ive had no periods for months is normal and fine! And the fact that ive put on 2 1/2 stone is prob down to diet! Rubbish!

[redcrx]

so did you ask for any tests?

i did once go without a period for 5 months, my weight didnt change though.

I'd go back and see another doctor if I were you. Pregnancy tests are supposed to be better when you take them 1st thing in the morning, but I don't suppose it'd matter if you were a few months along.

Sometimes changes in weight can make your periods stop but you need to find out for sure whats causing it all.

Hi, go back to the doctors and ask if they will test your Thyroid too it sounds like a cliche but that may explain the weight gain, periods and have you been feeling tired alot too?? its worth a try and won't do any harm, just a thought x x

I agree with the above posters - if you can't afford a pregnancy test, just make an appointment with your GP and get a proper answer, as well as decent advice etc.
