100000th Question on pregnancy!?

Hello I've been going through most of the questions on here trying to figure out some things. I think I may be pregnant. My fiance and I were active from Sept. 3-13. I started my period Sept. 14 (as I always do, I'm very regular.) Last week I started feeling sick and had a terrible headache and sharp pains in my lower back. Then about 3 days ago I woke up and my boobs were killing me!! So Sensitive, they aren't so bad today but very swollen. My headaches are still frequent and my cramps are constant.

I just have a few questions.

1) How often do you go to the bathroom during your first trimester?? (it seems like l've gone every 5 minutes the last few days) Is this normal for only like 2-3 weeks?

2) I've taken two tests like 2 days ago and it said negative, is it too soon??

3) What websites or books would you reccomend to answer these questions? Like... step by step.

4) What about air travel while pregnant?? I have an appointment with my OBGYN to find out if I even am pregnant and I could as her then but I was wondering if anyone else has been through this. My fiance lives in the UK and l'm going over there for 6 months in November... probably less now if I am pregnant.

Anyway please help if you can!!

    Pregnancy tests are pretty specific to how high your HCG hormone is. So usually the soonest you can tell is 6 days before you are supposed to start your period and you have to buy the really sensitive pregnancy tests (like First Response) because they are built to detect smaller amounts of HCG hormones.

    As for all your other symptoms, yes they are all signs of pregnancy and it is possible that you are pregnant if you're getting those symptoms. I am pregnant with my second and feel I use the bathroom all the time and I'm only 9 weeks along.

    Pregnancy tests aren't usuallly accurate until the first day of your missed period, but I'm pregnant with my 3rd, and all 3 of my positive tests were taken 2-3 days before I expected my period.

    You have to check with your OB about air travel, but it shouldn't be a problem so early in your pregnancy. Just make sure you have information for local hospitals where ever you are going.

    I have always read "What to Expect When You're Expecting" for advice, and I love it! Its gotten me through 3 pregnancies;)

    Good luck!

    First I'd like to mention it is a very complicated query b/c no longer each and every crisis is the equal. There are plenty of variables. But if I was once in a crisis with an unplanned being pregnant and might no longer financially and emotionally help the baby I could selected adoption. I think the baby merits a danger at existence and adoption offers the baby that danger and offers a pair who cannot, however desperately wishes, a baby in their possess. If I might financially and emotionally help the baby, once more variables, I feel I could hold the little one. Having a little one alterations the whole lot to your existence and if you are unprepared for that difference and would not have a help procedure of your possess it's going to be an excessively complicated, difficult, and traumatic time. Think it over, might be speak to an neutral individual, like a counselor, who can consultant you. I want you good.

    a book you can get is What to Expect When Expecting. as for air travel i was told i could travel until i reached my third trimester. just be careful if you get really sick because it was hard on me to travel during my 1st and 2nd trimester.

    If you got your period on time on the 14th and haven't had sex since then...then no you're not pregnant. If you had gotten pregnant you would miss your very next period.
