I had a slight fever, maybe around 99 degrees, and headaches can definitely be caused by hormones. Like others have already mentioned, the cheapest test will still show a positive if you're actually pregnant. Good luck!

rapidrider3 said:Honestly, that test is just a massive money pit. It’s expensive and, frankly, a complete waste of cash when you consider that $12 already does a killer job and stays incredibly accurate. If you're going to bother doing it at all, you might as well use your first morning urine to get any sense of reliability.

Look, just run the test yourself first, then you can worry about what β˜• thinks about it.

I'm with you on that. Clearblue is a total rip-off. Any other brand will give you the exact same answer whether you're pregnant or not...

Either the test will come back negative, or you'll be 37 weeks along just like I am in a few months. πŸ˜‚

Chris Grant7 said:I’ve scrolled through enough similar threads to lose my mind, but I felt compelled to start my own because the sheer volume of existing posts is just overwhelming.
So, here’s the situation: my period is two weeks late. Given the symptoms I’m dealing with, I’m fairly certain I’m pregnant, but I have to askβ€”is it actually normal to deal with splitting headaches and a fever?
I haven't even taken a test yet, so there’s still that nagging doubt. Is it possible this isn't pregnancy at all, but just some random bug or illness? This is all brand new territory for me, so please, don't hold back on the adviceβ€”give it to me straight!
I did read that Clearblue tests are pretty reliable; has anyone here actually used one? πŸ€·πŸ™πŸ™„πŸ™‚

You've got a few options here:
1. Go find a psychic in Greenwich Village to read your crystal ball.
2. Call one of those 1-800 psychic hotlines; they'll definitely tell you for sure if you're pregnant.
3. Ask a fortune teller on a street corner to read your palm.
4. Just mash your keyboard and let us guess if you're pregnant.
5. JUST BUY A DAMN TEST FROM $10!!!!!

e driftingpanther42 you gotta be kidding me.......

I honestly couldn't help myself. I had to jump in here...... I truly don't get why you're wasting your breath on all this nonsense and drama........ it's been two weeks now.. instead of just heading to a CVS, grabbing the cheapest test available, and getting it over with so you can have some peace and quiet in the Mississippi 🀷🀷
Look, honey, aren't you, what, twenty-something? and please, "what if it's some disease"....... I mean, seriously, people can be as angry as they want, but I just DON'T GET how anyone could say something that stupid... it makes zero sense!!!!!!

I decided to take a test after being two weeks late, though I honestly "felt" something was up before I even bought one... I'll never forget that night when the mere smell of cigarette smoke made my stomach turn; and believe me, I usually smoke like a chimney. πŸ˜›
btw. go ahead and take a test πŸ‘

Also, I spotted a Clearblue test at the drugstoreβ€”has anyone here actually used one before?

You’ve already had people flooding two different threads with the same adviceβ€”just go buy a test!

Yeah, but honestly, it gets exhausting when people constantly come up to you asking if you're pregnant.

Why don't you just go out and buy one to see if you're pregnant or not?πŸ˜•

Look, I get itβ€”everyone seems to think we’ve got some sort of psychic superpower or something, so they figure it’s just easier to ask us directly instead of using their heads.πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ‘

πŸ˜‚ πŸ˜‚ πŸ˜‚ oh man, that gave me a good laugh!!!

But seriously, I don't get it eitherβ€”is it really that hard to just grab a test?? 🀷 We can sit here debating whether someone is pregnant all day, but what's the point when there are tests in every single CVS or Walgreens??!!

Look, ladies, if there isn't a legitimate concern involved, then what is the point of even taking a test? Why does this thread even exist if those of you who recognize the symptoms won't step up and offer some insight? It shouldn't be this difficult. For some people, $10 is more than enough. I don't envy anyone going through this uncertainty, though I am certainly not indifferent myself. However, I have no intention of rushing to a CVS just because I feel slightly nauseous. Nausea can stem from countless different issues. I refuse to buy a pregnancy test every single time my stomach turns. Please, try to be helpful when we ask questions; remember how unsettling it felt for you when you were facing that same uncertainty.

Yeah, whatever, I bought three tests and went to get my blood work doneπŸ˜‚ πŸ˜‚ πŸ˜‚ Honestly, all five, but there's no point guessingβ€”either see an OBGYN or just take the test....

Look, she literally said her period is two weeks late. If that isn't a good enough reason to grab a test, then I really don't know anymore!!!

Perhaps she hasn't been active lately, so she’s wondering if it's some sort of divine intervention or a sudden spiritual shift? 🀷
You all are so quick to judge this poor girl without having the full context... honestly... 😲

Enough with the jokes. 😎
Two weeks late is a significant delay, not just a couple of days. , go get a test if you haven't already πŸ™‚
. None of us here possess any psychic abilities to diagnose whatever is going on with you πŸ˜‰

Hey, hi... I have a quick question. About two weeks ago, I hooked up with my boyfriendβ€”it was the 6th day after my period ended. We used the "pull out" method. We also slept together about 5 or 6 days before that, using the same method. The issue is that for the last few days, I’ve been feeling nauseous (I actually threw up yesterday morning), and I think smells are hitting me a bit harder than usual. My head has been killing me at times, I get these sudden hot flashes, and for the last two days, my stomach has been cramping like I'm about to start my period. I have some spotting, too, and my breasts are sore (not specifically the nipples, just the sides, I guess...). This morning, around 3:00 AM, I took a pregnancy test and it came back negative. But can I actually trust it? My last periods were on March 10th, February 14th, and even January 24th... they're a little irregular. I don't know... maybe all these symptoms are just from stress. Sorry for the long post.
