Missed period--Inducing, but what if pregnant?

[singlegirl.livejournal.com]

Hello all,
First off, I just checked the memories for this community and have taken some notes down about inducing periods using parsely flakes. I happen to have some at home that I use in some recipes, so I will be trying that when I go home this afternoon.

So here's my deal: My period was due last weekend, as I ovulated on the 20th of December and I normally have fairly regular cycles. My luteal phase (time between ovulation and AF, for those of you not charting or doing other fertility stuff) has always been 13-16 days. Today, day 18, I still have not seen her.

However, on Friday, day 13, I had some light pink spotting and just assumed I'd wake up with AF the next morning. I'm a little confused as to what is going on.

I suppose it's possible I could be pregnant, but I have no symptoms of pregnancy. Other than sore nipples, which I frequently get around the time I'm supposed to get AF, so I'm not too concerned about that.

Basically I guess I'm wondering what happens if it turns out I'm pregnant but I try this parsely tea anyway? I have read that the parsely tea is not harmful to an embryo, but just wanted some reassurance. Why don't I just take a pregnancy test, you ask? :) Because I don't think I'm pregnant and feel silly spending that much money on something that will just tell me what I already know! :)

Thanks for the help! Oh, and how long does this tea take to work? If I drink 4 cups today, can I expect AF tomorrow? Or the next day?

ok so yesterday morning i woke up and found i had started my period. so i put ita *reg* tampon and went about my business. when i got home from school, i had realized that my flow was too heavy and had soaked thru the tampon and onto my brand new underwear. i dont want my mom to know that i basically ruined my new pair, so if after she starts the wash and i throw it in, will it get rid of it or not. is it too late to do anything about it, or am i stuck with the stain forever?
