The lady just wanted a tip from experiened ladies,you do not seem experience yoursef the test kits aren't the most accurate either especialy for someone in a remote location.There are the false positives and the false negatives that leave a gray area.

There are some women who could just tell you from the signs.Thats what i hoped for atleast.

The earliest and most reliable sign of pregnancy, for women who have a regular monthly cycle, is a missed period. Sometimes women who are pregnant have a very light period, losing only a little blood. Other signs of pregnancy are;

Feeling sick: you may feel sick, or even be sick, not necessarily in the morning, but at any time.

Changes in your breasts: often they become larger and feel tender, rather as they may do before a period. They may tingle. The veins may show up more and the nipples may darken and stand out.

Needing to pass water more often: you may find that you have to get up in the night to do so.

Being constipated.

An increased vaginal discharge without any soreness or irritation.

Feeling tired.

Having a strange taste in your mouth: many women describe it as metallic.

Going off certain things like tea or coffee, tobacco or fatty food, for example.

Some women don’t even need these signs. They just know that they are pregnant.

my mum once told me that if you see you girl having unusual appetite for some food ,a habit she did not depict before then for sure that is the earliest sign of pregnancy.

She will want more and more sex and she will want to eat childish things like chocos all the time. I stand subject to ridicule and correction.

sdolphin has said it all. Anytime a woman wonders if she's pregnant, she is probably already having some of the signs listed. Some people know before they start feeling sick because of 'spotting'(light amount of blood and happens when implantation has occured).
A number of things can delay your period like stress, change in sleep patterns, worrying whether or not you are pregnant, 'morning after' pill',...etc. The mind is really powerful and just worrying about pregnancy can make you start noticing pregnancy symptoms, eventhough you are not pregnant - lol. If your period is 7-10 days late than you expected, chances are you are pregnant.

I know someone who wanted to have a baby so bad a few years back so much so that every month her period was late & she noticed pregnancy symtoms, her tummy was big too, etc. But each time she took a test it was negative. This went on for like a year by the way.

I will agree with Okie about the mind being powerful.

Phantom pregnancies!!!!!!!!
A few years back my mum's friend went through this.
I don't know the details, but she was convinced she was pregnant, everybody was congratulating her, she'd bought baby clothes, but 9mths later.....nothing.

Long story short...she had a complete mental breakdown when she finally had to accept that she wasn't pg.
