Ok ladies I'am so glad I found you all. I'am 28 and last month I had the weirdest period I started spotting only when I wiped, on Oct 2 usually I have the worst cramps but I hardly cramped at all. I did'nt need to take anything for them. I spotted for 3 days and then started lightly bleeding I figured it was just my period but still I had very light cramping (tolerable). I went to the doctor the next week for my pap and he said that I just got lucky and had an easy period which is something I have'nt had in years. Now this month I'am 10days late, I do not want to take another test cause as we all know they can be disappointing. I'am not sure how much longer I should wait to take one. People were telling me that my face was glowing but I had started bleeding so I thought nothing of it. Now that I'am late it is all just weird, I'am not sure what do. I just have my faith in God but I really don't want to take a test they are dreadful. ↑
There are changes in the cervix and uterus that a doctor could note from a vaginal exam that could indicate pregnancy. Also, if it isn't pregnancy, there are blood tests that look at estrogen, FSH/LH and Prolactin, that could point to why you're not having your period. Ovarian cysts (usually diagnosed through vaginal ultrasound) can prevent ovulation and cause amenorrhea (stopping of Periods). Most cysts eventually go away on their own in a month or two, at which point the period comes back.
For me it's been 8 weeks since my last period. My Urine HCG and blood BHCG are negative. I'm getting pregnancy symptoms, nausea, heartburn, dizziness, feeling faint, low blood sugar and food aversions/cravings. A vaginal ultrasound done a couple weeks ago didn't show anything. My doctor has ordered other blood tests for me and hopefully we can sort out what the problem is. Either way (pregnant or not) I'm taking pre-natal vitamins and folic acid, just in case I'm one of several "fluke" cases (as kindly described above) who don't get positive pregnancy tests, but are without a doubt pregnant.
Best wishes to all! Thank you for sharing your stories. ↑
Okay Im 17 years old, this all started about 2 months ago after the last time I had sex about 2 weeks later I started my period but it was really weird and irregular at first i started spotting for a few days and then i started and my period was HEAVY..then i was off and my mom recently got me on birth control like 3 weeks ago well ive had 2 other periods since the whole irregular thing happened and it was really weird because ive had a regular period for 5 years. Well in the past oh 3 weeks or so ive been really moody, getting into arguements for no reason, i keep getting really horrible headaches and i feel sick to my stomach alot...somethings wrong and i dont know what somebody please help. ↑
I just wanted to follow up to say that I finally got my period back. I discovered that the fresh Pomegranate juice that I was drinking every day caused me to stop ovulating. No ovulation in my case = No Menstruation.
Anyway, after some research I discovered that the Pomegranate fruit was used commonly in ancient times as a contraceptive. Animals studies showed that it was 100% effective in eliminating fertility in Guinea Pigs. Their fertility was restored after 40 days of discontinuing the Pomegranate.
I stopped drinking Pomegranate and my periods finally came back.
are there any other fruits / foods etc. that may cause women not to get their periods. i'm 15 days late, ttc last month but getting negative tests. would love to know other explanations besides that i'm going crazy! ↑
From a google search, these foods/herbs have estrogen-like activity, which I'm going to avoid: beet roots, parsley roots, sage, honey, red clover, alfalfa, black cohosh, Dong Quai, bloodroot, burdock, hops, kudzu, licorice, pomegranate, soy, thyme, yeast, ginseng, white horehound, potato tubers and yucca. Also, any supplements that contain: Isoflavones. ↑
My symptoms are the same as all of you but my situation is a little different. I have three bio children ages 27, 25 and 24. Then my first husband and I adopted a baby through foster parenting who is now 19. We have adopted 10 children from Russia who are 21, 19, 11,11,9,8,8, 7,6 and 6. My first husband and I were divorced 3 years ago and I am now married to a wonderful man who has 2 girls ages 12 and 10. So we have 10 children living at home with us. Now I am 50 and am experiencing pregnancy symptoms (day 51 from my last period). I would suspect menopause but my periods have been regular before and the pregnancy symptoms make me very suspicous. I have had several negative hpts. We are just going to wait and see if my period comes in the next few weeks. Never a dull moment in our lives! Mom of 16 and maybe 17 ↑
im 21, we've been trying to get pregnat since june/july and ver since we started my periods have been different.it has cut down to two days and once i completely missed it. i have taken pregnancy tests but all negative even been o my gp,told him all the smtoms and even he was sure i was pregnant but the test said negative, i started experiencing slight cramps around september i went eo the hospital the doctor said from wht she has heard i am definitley pregnat so she will do a test to confirm it but it was negative, so she said it was probably too early. now its december every month my period has been for 2 days and i feel nausea, headaches, woozyness, urinating frequently etc, and i am scared to take the test because i dont want to be let down again.my friend had her period up until her 6th month of pregnany, she experienced the same 2days and spotting-brown discharge. but why will i feel like this and not be pregnant? any help please? ↑
To Nadine123:
Please ask your doctor to do a Pelvic exam (which is a vaginal exam) to see if there are signs that you are pregnant. Generally there are changes in the cervix that point to pregnancy. Let us know what you find out! Best of luck! ↑
There are certainly a lot of people who post that they feel pregnant and have gotten negative tests...but nobody ever comes back to say that they did turn out to be pregnant! Does that mean everyone finds out they're not, or they just don't come back! I am going through the same thing and was hoping to find women who went through it and their instincts turned out to be right and they WERE pregnant despite a neg. urine test!
Anyone? ↑
There are at least a half dozen women online who have reported being pregnant (or know someone who was pregnant) with a negative HCG. I saved some websites where a number of women report this anomaly. It *does* happen. This site won't allow links, but if you are interested, send me an email at sea and only me at ya hoo dot com. I will forward the urls to you. ↑
cdpace- there are definitely women who end up being pregnant after a negative hcg test. for me however, it ended up that i just had one crazy long cycle and ended up ovulating weeks later than normal. our bodies are crazy! good luck! ↑
I have a doctor's appointment next Wednesday. I will definitely come back on here to let you know the results. I am still having pregnancy symptoms and should be 8 1/2 weeks now. Got another negative HPT this morning. ↑
I promised I would give a report after I went to the doctor. Went this morning and I don't know any more than before! I gave lots of blood and will be tested for thyroid problems, menopause and also pregnancy. Hopefully I will know something Friday. ↑
Got the results today. Blood test negative for pregnancy. All other bloodwork normal. Since I continue to have symptoms, I will just live as if I was pregnant and wait to see. Where is everyone else???? ↑
have you noticed any changes in your stomach like maybe it getting hard or pooching or anything? is it possible it's a hysterical pregnancy? all that aside, let us know what they say about the thyroid because that can throw EVERYTHING out of whack. it did for me. ↑
My middle is getting "thicker". I have gained 8 lbs in the past few weeks even with the throwing up and nausea. Thyroid bloodwork came back normal so that's not the problem. Now I have started wanting to eat everything in sight. If pregnant, I am 9 weeks 5 days. ↑
hmm, i guess give it until the 12-16 weeks for you to start seeing a baby bump and if you do and you still get negative, get an u/s and if that doesn't show anything, grab your doc by the collar and tell them to figure out what's going on lol. good luck! ↑
Not to sound alarmist, but with the stomach weight gain, nausea/vomiting, age 50, and lack of pregnancy evidence from laboratory and vaginal exam, I would request a vaginal ultrasound to test for ovarian cancer. It is treatable if you catch it early. My aunt had similar symptoms at age 52, and they found a non-cancerous tumor on one of her ovaries (through vaginal ultrasound) Her symptoms were stomach swelling, pain, nausea and heartburn. She had it removed and is feeling much better. ↑

i must be about 5months pregnant now or rather atleast i look pregnant.im a size 4 naturally and about 5months started feeling pregnant i have a 4 year old daughter already so i should know if im pregnant.i had a home test that was positive,the doctor did a physical check up and said i feel pregnant and way over 4months(this was a month ago)then came my blood and urine test negative.everyone says im pregant ive gained a lot of wieght and im not a big person apart from when i was pregnant with my daughter so im not sure what to do.its good to know though that im not alone i was starting to lose my mind. ↑
At least you've had a postive test! I would love to have had one. Then I wouldn't feel quite as crazy. Some days lately I start out the morning with no symptoms and think I'm not pregnant. Then by about 11:00 in the morning, I get really sleepy again and start feeling full, queasy and hungry all at the same time. ↑
HELP!!!
for the past two months (November and December) my period has been coming two days late which is not normal at all for me. i usually have my cycle every 28 days...
has this or anything similar happened to any of u and u turned out to be pregnant? thanks in advance 4 your help! ↑
I have an interesting story. I have no confirmation because I never sought medical attention, but iv been trying to figure out weather or not iv had a miscarriage. I took a home pregnancy test a week after my missed period and got a negative result. The next month came and still no period, so I took another test… still neg. The next month same thing. I started having other signs: mood swings, Brest tenderness, aversions to smells and meat, nausea, sickness(decreased immune system?), sleepiness, and slight weight gain with my abdomen becoming more rigid. I took one more test and it was still neg. by week 12-13 of my “phantom pregnancy” I had an extremely heavy period that was defiantly different then my normal periods. It was stranger. I felt week and spent most of my time in the bathroom, but other than that I treated it as just an extremely heavy period. What do u all think? ↑
I honestly think you'd have had some SEVERE pain at that stage if you lost a pregnacy then, but you never know. If you suspect you've been pregnant and lost a baby you should go and get checked out because you could make yourself ill if there was a problem. Good luck.xx ↑
ME!!!!
My story.... My daughter who is 8 today (1/10) Was a Neg hpt/blood/ u/s baby!!! I had my period till I was 4 months prego with her!! I KNEW I was pregnant because she was my 3rd... I went to my doctor and failed HPT (not uncommon for me) Then they gave me a Blood test... Failed that too... Then they gave me an U/S said they saw a "Blob" But they didnt THINK it was anything and it was nothing to worry about... So the VERY next week I stoped my period and Passed a HPT... As she grew they measured me and I was already 4 months prego!! SO YES It can happen... You can also get a Mental pregnancy (As I call it lol) where you can imagine that you are pregnant So bad that you get ALL the syptoms... But that was not my case as is proven 8 years later :-) Now why I am here today?? Well since her I had my 3 year ttc baby Christian... I didnt pass a test with him till I was 3 months prego... (But my period went away right away I just couldnt pass a blood or HPT) And we have been trying to conceive since him (he was born 9-15-05) and still nothing... With all that said.. I DO have Hyperthyroidism and Hashimotos disease.. both of which screw with your cycles... The longest I ever went without a period was 90 days (from the last day to the first day) NOW.... The First day of my last period was 9-1-07..... But I am still getting Negative HPT... I am going to the doctor after the 2nd (insurance reasons) of February and am hoping to know more by then!! Esp because in theroy I will be about 4-5 months prego?? lol. I will update you guys once I find out more :-) ↑
There aren't many posters on here lately so I thought I would update. I wish everyone who posts would keep us updated as to whether you are pregnant or not, or even just the symptoms you are feeling and how far along you would be.
This week has been much better. The nausea is gone most of the time. The backaches are better. Still no breast soreness but tingles and dull aches every once in a while. The bloating is much better. That has been the biggest problem for me the past weeks. Now my upper abdomen is smaller and my lower abdomen is growing. Much more energy this week and food actually tastes good! I have felt a few flutters this week also. Not strong enough to distinguish for sure if it is baby or gas bubbles. So that is my update and I hope you will all give yours.
Hi im new on here and its so re-freshing to read all the posts, im 24yrs and i have a 6 yr old daughter, i have had 2 misscarrages, but we have been trying again(fingers crossed),
Im only aweek late with my period but im normally regular, in fact i normally start spotting the day before, and theres no signs of me starting, i have done 2 tests and they have both been negative, i dont have any signs of being pregnant other than my stomach feeling bloated, but before my period was due i was feeling sick in the evening and feeling tired, i even went to sleep in the afternoon which is so not me as normally when im awake im awake. ↑
here's my update... lmp was oct. 5 and i have a 40 day cycle. "should" have conceieved late october. never got my period but i kept taking hpts b/c i'm never late. finally, around dec. 9, i got a positive test... didn't believe it but got 3 more. got our dating scan today to see how far along i actually am and i'm 8.5 weeks. so, while some people get negative tests and are pregnant, i wasn't, but got pregnant while trying to figure out what was going on. hope this helps! good luck everyone! ↑
