Hello fellow mommies! I just had a quick question. If I am showing signs of pregnancy will a test be accurate? I had a period two weeks ago but it was very light although on time because I'm taking birth control. Have any of you had this happen to you?
Thanks for reading!

So What Happened?

Thanks for y'all's input. I did take a test this morning and it said negative. The issue I'm having is that I'm only on week two of my birth control pills and my boobs are very sore. I've had this happen before but it's always closer to my period whe they start getting sore. Anyone else have sore boobs in the middle of their cycle?

I buy the package with two tests in it... then I force myself to wait a few days to take the first one.. and if it is negative, than I take the other in a week or two, that way I get the test out of the way, knowing I have a back-up if I tested too early. It is best to wait until you have a missed period, but than again, everyone is different, especially if you are having routine periods due to bc. Good luck!

FYI You can get tests at The Dollar Store for $1. Taking one now would not be too expensive. You can take several without being concerned about the cost.

I had a light period while on birth control and I was pregnant. I knew a girl who continued to have periods for the first 3 months. Take one now to ease your mind or at least start planning early

If you had your period 2 weeks ago then you should be ovulating right about now. If you got pregnant like in the last day or 2 then no way would you have enough hormone to show up on the test. But I am confused, are you on the pill now? It is possible to get pregnant on the pill but not common. I would wait 2 weeks and see if you get your period.

If you think you are pregnant from last cycle (and that light period happened when you were already pregnant) then you should be able to test now with an accurate response. Normally tests are most accurate if you take them the day you are due for your period.

Are you sure it was your period? Nothing will show up positive 2 weeks after your last period though, it is too soon.
But I second the dollar store tests. I took several without feeling like I blew out my wallet because they're only a dollar!
