Hello everyone, this is my first time post (i think) but Ive been a member and have lurked for about 5 months. I am so afraid to take an hpt. I think I have to. Im 8 days late, Im never late. Im nausous all the time throughout the day, when I eat something it seems to make it better, my lower back is hurting and I have mild cramps. I am very very tired all the time. Im in bed by 7:30, and I'm bloated all the time. Please someone if you could give me some advise. I wont have any money till pay day in 1 1/2 weeks so I cant go buy a test and I cant go to the local clinic here (long story). So I need your opinions. I know I need to take a test to actually get an answer, but hearing from anyone may help me. Thank you! Take care!
