I heard that I have to wait until my missed period to know if I'm really pregnant. So i went to the doc, and he said it was to early to know. The test came out negative. But he said there were possibilities of being pregnant, still. How long do you have to wait to know if you're pregnant???

9 months

Wrong forum my dear.
Read this thread and I'm sure it'll answer your questions :D

1 month, I would assume. You have to wait for one missed period to be positive. Those pregnancy tests usually don't work until it's very close to your period time.

Thanx guys!!

lol...well sometimes the mind can play tricks on you. women have been know to be really late on there period because they thought they were pregnant. Only later to find out they were not. Take a test in a about a week and a half to be sure.

And if you are congratulations you just signed away 18 years of your life.

why dont u talk 2 ur doctor about this? besides, some people menstruate during pregnancy...

or about an hour of scraping...

No, they dont.

A good month should give you the right results.

well, its not menstruation, but it's bleeding similar to menstruation...and its often confused with the cycle by pregnant women...a missed period doesn't equal pregnancy

You guys do know pregnant women can still get their periods. Its really rare but seems to be pretty common now a days it seems...

How long has it been in the first place?
Perhaps get a home pregnancy test..You can normally find out if you're pregnant 7 days after your missed period but hcg levels for some women are still low so you will get a better result after 17. Although some newer tests on the market claim that they can tell within a couple days, still wait the 7-14.

Also there are 11 early signs (found these) of being pregnant..:
The 11 Major Early Pregnancy Signs

1. Breast Changes – This is often the first sign of pregnancy. Hormones immediately begin preparing your body for breastfeeding. As early as a week after conception the area around nipples becomes darker and breasts feel swollen and more sensitive.

2. Missed Menstrual Period – Missing a period is an obvious sign of pregnancy. But there are also other reasons for a missed period, such as stress, dieting or medicine. If your cycle is very regular, missing a period can be an early sign of pregnancy.

3. Spotting – Light bleeding may appear 8 to 14 days after conception. The fertilized egg implants itself in the uterine lining causing pink or brownish spotting. Many women mistake this for a menstrual period, when they're actually pregnant.

4. Cramping – Cramps similar to those experienced around menstruation are sometimes a very early sign of pregnancy. The uterus walls can contract as a result of any kind of physical activity.

5. Nausea – Feeling nauseated and sometimes even vomiting is called "morning sickness," but it can happen any time day or night. While nausea is common between weeks four and eight in about half of all pregnancies, some women experience symptoms as early as a week or two after conception.

6. Tiredness – During early pregnancy your body is going through major hormonal changes. Your heart pumps harder and blood flows faster to bring nutrients to the baby. Exhaustion and fatigue are understandable and usually go away as your body adjusts.

7. Frequent Urination – Many women experience more frequent urination as early as a week or two after conception. The most intense need to urinate typically takes place in the first and third trimesters of pregnancy.

8. Dizziness – Blood sugar is the primary source of food for a growing fetus, so it tends to drop more quickly than usual. Skipping meals or going too long without eating can make you feel dizzy, lightheaded or even faint from low blood sugar.

9. Mood Swings – You're not crazy, it's just hormones. Mood swings are common, even in early pregnancy. This can include irritability and crying for no apparent reason.

10. Increased body temperature –Your basal body temperature (BBT), taken first thing in the morning, is higher when you ovulate and during pregnancy. So, it's a good early indicator of pregnancy when your BBT remains high.

11. Constipation – Pregnancy hormones slow down digestion and bowel function to insure maximum nutrient absorption.

If I were you, I'd wait at least a month. You should definitely be ready by then.

I just heard that you can get your period when you're pregnant. which doesn't make any sense to me. wouldn't it be more like spotting [which I honestly don't know the difference between the two] ... anyway good luck with that whole, figuring out if your pregnant or not.

ROFL

I would say that if you're late on your period, by just one day, and take a home pregnancy test, the results should be highly reliable.

It's not your period. It's bleeding that looks like menstruation. It's not normal, kinda rare that it happens, it's not necessary a bad thing.

You can go to your doctor for a blood test. Or wait a week and order a high power urine test. Or wait till around your period and take a regular pregnancy test.

^ Hah, I was just going to say that about the menstrual thing.

There were two other posts with that. If you're pregnant you're not going to ovulate.
