First i would like to say thank you to all who share their thoughts on what to do first during those symptoms that what i've felt the past few days. and yes its positive, I'm pregnant though i want the OBgyne to say it lol. But before that, yesterday me and my friends bought a herbs its a parsley herbs as a lot says that its a safe herbs that can be use for those who got delayed menstruation though it will be dangerous if your pregnant so they advice that the cause of the delayed menstruation is not pregnancy before taking the herbs. i just forgot to buy the home pregnancy test coz i was tired yesterday i only have the herbs.
And so yesterday i already brewed it as a tea and let it cool before i drink, then i receive a call from my sis that the whole family will be having a dinner out since i'm not living with them and since its her birthday, i actually forgot that its her birthday coz im not aware of the date yesterday and after dinner i bought the home pregnancy test and was excited to try it today when i wake up and its POSITIVE. I really hate myself and feel so stupid like what if i already drink the tea as they said its very effective if you really want menstruation, in fact it can also be use in extracting the baby but its not advisable that's why they said to check first if your pregnant or not before its too late. Thanks god he saves me baby.

Congratulations that you have a baby. I'm glad you were not able to drink those herbs or you could have lost your baby. Nevertheless, you have to visit your OBGyne and ask her for the right vits to take. For Iron, i would suggest Hemobion as it got a high elemental iron and got folic acid which are essential to pregnancy. You need to drink milk and eat a lot of vegetables too. Good luck and I hope that you'll have a healthy pregnancy.

Congratulations on the pregnancy, I hope the herb tea did not harm the baby. Go see your doctory right away for a positive confirmation, although the pregnancy tests are very accurate but sometimes if you take them too soon you can get a false positive but if you were a month late it is probably safe to say that you are pregnant.

It is good that you did not drink the tea... Thanks for the unexpected call... If you feel some strange about your body always check first before taking any medication or something... especially if you suspect that you are pregnant... That is very serious for you are not only handling yourself, but your baby's health as well..
CONGATULATIONS to you homeshopper!!! I am very happy for you!!! As I said, that is the most wonderful gift that you received this coming christmas... A gift from God! 
Take care and have a healthy pregnancy. Go and schedule a check up with your OB as soon as posible...

Congratulations on the news that you are pregnant. I am really pleased for you. It wasn't your fault that you took parsley herbs because at that time you didn't know you were pregnant. If a lady gets pregnant on day 10 out of 28 she won't be able to test with a home pregnancy test until day 28 or later. Therefore there a lady won't know she is pregnant for a few weeks. I hope that you will have a happy and healthy time in your pregnancy. I wonder whether you will have a girl or a boy.

Oh how exciting and congratulations on your baby. Just go to the doctor and tell him of the herbs that you have taken and see what he says. But don't worry, hopefully everything is okay and you didn't know that you were pregnant at the time you took the herbs.

Congratulations first and and for most are you happy about being pregnant? If so enjoy this time my suggestions would be to start a journal for no pregnancy is the same and some of the things that happen or feel you will want to remember for the future and for the little one growing inside. Herbs can be nice and some can be dangerous so please check things like that out and be careful with that new life growing inside of you. Maybe you will need us more now on other topics such as morning sickness and feeling sad or extra happy when there is no reason for it. Oh what I would give to be in your shoes again. My little one is 5 and he is my last for I have 5. Again Congratulations.

Take those vitamins eat healthy (even though there will be those moments of junk) Stay active it truly does help tremendously during labor. Follow the doctors advice and you will be just find. And throw those herbs out!!!
Smile and be happy we all have worries during pregnancy but they always work out.

hi homeshoppers...
Congratulations that you are positively pregnant. You must be happy that you are safe now even if you take that parsley herbs.It was not your fault for doing that since at first you are not sure if you are pregnant or not. Most of the women experiences delayed of menstruation but it does not mean that you are pregnant. I have experience that myself. But if you are delayed for a month you must see an OB-Gyne to make sure and safe.
Again congratulations...
