I have periods every 5 or 6 months but I'm having pregnancy symptoms, how long should I wait to test?

I wasn't sure if I could still get pregnant, but my doctor told me that since I've been pregnant before, there is a chance it can still happen. I've taken two test that have come back negative and have taken a test at the doctor's office, but I'm still waiting for the results. I was wondering if it would be wise to take another home test before I hear from the doctor? I'm having some pregnancy symptoms, but myself and my doctor don't think I'm pregnant. My doctor also performed a pelvic exam and I'm wondering if he would have been able to tell if I was pregnant from that. Any advice or shared experience would be great. Thanks

Go to your doctor. I had the same problem. I wouldn't get my period for months and always thought i was pregnant. I went to my doctor and she diagnosed me with PCOS (PolyCystic Ovarian Syndrom) and in order to get pregnant i had to take pills. I am not saying it cant happen. I think that you should go to a doctor, not having your period for that long amount of time is not healthy (it is great though)And yes a doctor can tell pregnancy for a pelvic.

you are sooo lucky you only get a period every 6 months geez why cant i be that lucky..........i would go see a gyno so she can give you a more accurate test

My OB told me that 10 days after having sex, you can take a home preg. test and it (hopefully) should work. But, go to the doctors! They will give you a difinate answer! They can't tell from a pelvic exam but they will take labs. (draw some blood and/or collect a urine sample.) they did both to me. I got my results the same day though.

If you already have pregnancy symptoms, it is time to take a pregnancy test.
