irondrifter7 said:My period is 26 days late. I've been noticing some minor symptoms that align with what's being discussed hereβfor instance, certain foods suddenly smell revolting to me, or I simply can't imagine getting them down. I've also had some lower back pain, headaches, fatigue, and increased discharge. Nothing feels particularly intense, though I suppose it is all slightly more pronounced than usual.
On the other hand, I still smoke and haven't noticed any issues with cigarettes. Alcohol doesn't seem to bother me either, and I haven't experienced frequent urination.
Could someone with more experience in these matters please offer some advice? It would be greatly appreciated.
I should clarify that I am young, and this potential pregnancy is entirely unplanned.
Thanks in advance.
First piece of advice from the group: go buy a test!!!
They're like five bucks at CVS or Walgreens; don't waste your money on those overpriced specialty ones. Just grab one today and take it. Usually, you want to use your first morning pee, but since you're this far behind, it'll show up whenever.
Take the test, then come back and let us know how it went. (And if it's positive, the alcohol and cigarettes have gotta go π)
