Should I take another pregnancy test or?

Unread post by bloop1234 »

I had a late period for 2-3 weeks. So I took a pregnancy test twice within that time. However I’m still showing symptoms of pregnancy such as:

-Sore breasts
-Watery cervical fluid
-High fatigue
-Weight gain

I was wondering if I should take another one or if it’s actually just a missed period and I’ll be fine waiting till next month for my next one.
Also the last time I had sex, it was only anal.
I don’t want to have to waste my time on another test, so what do you think?

If you have taken two tests properly with negative results, you can be certain you are not pregnant.

Know that the things you are listing here can be symptoms of a lot of things, and some won't be of a pregnancy at all (for instance, weight gain won't start so soon). But these do sound like things you might want to check in with a healthcare provider about instead, just to make sure nothing's the matter in general.
