i absolutely HAD to respond to your post... i have been going insane for the past three months. i had all the symptoms of a pregnancy early on, had a pregnancy test through my doctor's office (!) and it came back negative. i was completely stunned, balled my eyes out, and then spent the next month and a half becoming increasingly confused as i watch my belly and breasts expand away. i should be 4 months pregnant now, and i look it. when my negative result originally came back, my doctor even ended up telling me maybe i should see a therapist because i might just be stressed and making myself sick, mimicking the early symptoms of pregnancy... but when i've always been underweight and struggled to maintain the little bit of fat i had, i can't see how i can look the way i do now and not be pregnant. i've been doubting it too because of that negative result... but i really do look like i'm pregnant. my belly's sticking straight out. i keep covering it up trying to hide it because i'm worried someone's going to ask if i'm pregnant and i'm afraid to sound crazy if i say yes when my test was negative. i've had my periods as well, but lighter than usual... the last one was one or two days of a very light flow and maybe four days of spotting. my periods have always been perfectly regular, no matter how stressed or sick i was, so it makes no sense to me at all. i've been contemplating having a physical exam to check to see if i'm pregnant... but i'm so afraid to ask and sound completely nuts if i'm wrong. i can completely relate, and i totally feel for u! i wish u the best of luck! ↑
o wow im so happy i got to read some of the messages on this..for the past 4 months i felt like i was alone... now heres my story ive always been the type of person that gets her period on time every month. now back in april me and my boyfriend had unprotected sex.. that month my period was supposed to be on the 27th but it came on the 29th two days late i didnt think anything until i told my bf it was the best period ever, short and sweet no pain nothing and it was light...now it last 4 days and im the type that goes for 6 days..so anyway after that i didnt see my period till june 15 i was worried again short and sweet so i was conviced i was pregnant.. i went to the doctors though and got a urine test done and it came back negative.. i was so confused and then in july my period came on the 22nd again short and sweet but late.. now its the 28th of aug and no period. but again last tursday i took an at home test negative again if im pregnant im around 4 months.. and im starting to show and i just feel it.. i have all the systoms.. so i guess im just glad im not alone out there i have an app sep 14th to see the gyn lets see what they say and im def. going to get a blood test done.. but thx fr all these stories its good to know your arent alone :-) ↑
Hi. Reading this forum has once again confused me?? I had my last mp July 4th and yet to have any spotting, bloating, or normal cramping. Ive been told that i look as if ive lost a little weight. my eating habbits have changed in the past month. I am tired about 90% of the time i sleep alot more than usual. I have occasional headaches. My breast arent swollen though (i mean their huge but they've always been like that i cant really tell the difference). But sometimes they itch and sometimes my nipples feel sore. I have a dark line from my belly button down. Ive never noticed before (but im pretty sure it wasnt there) Talk about mood swings. Usually when i dont get my mp and i think im preg. the signs are completely different. I eat more thinking i am and i eat alot of chocolate. I'm not really stressed about not having my per. but i want to d o the right thng. A few times i have felt like "squisiness" in my lower abdomianl ( i know silly why of explaining it). I took 5 hpt and they all came out neg. i just got my blood test back and it says neg. O and i feel dizzy sometimes. I do have a gyn appt Sept 7th hopefully my per comes (and normal) but it would be nice to be preg. I had a mc before so this would be m y first. Any suggestions? ↑
I am so glad I found this board. I see a lot of you women having the same symptoms as me. My last period was July 28th and my cycles are normally 28 to 29 days. It's day 32 and no signs of a period but a lot of symptoms of pregnany. My fiance thinks I am nuts. I have taken 3 tests so far and friend of mine thinks I may be testing too early. I have another appointment on Wed with the free clinic (I have no insurance) so I pretty much just have to go by what the tests say there until I can find out for sure. I am usually never late! My breasts seemed to have gotten a little firmer and EXTREMELY sore. I can't even walk w/o a bra on or hug anyone it hurts so bad. My friend thinks I am pregnant and there is something inside me telling me I am as well but there is something else that is making me think I am not. Can anyone give me any advice please. I am going nuts. I really want to be pregnant. ↑
I gave birth in April of 2006 and then bled for a month straight. After that, my periods went back to normal. My last period was in June. I have not bled a drop since then. I've taken 12 HTP's, all of which came out negative. What's the deal? So many people tell me they think I'm pregnant. I'm going to take another test. We'll see!! ↑
I too am going through the same thing, although I have only taken two HPT. From past pregnancies, I look to be about 3 or 4 months, however, negative results. I have not went to the Dr. yet because I dont want to look foolish. But I do know my own body and I look pregnant. I cant fit into most of my pants anymore., and also am get nausea spells a few times a day. ↑
I just wanted to thank all of the woman in here who share their lives with all of us. Over the past few months this website has given me hope, and helped me believe in my own body and what it tells me. Because of that, I started to take prenatal vitamins & take care of myself as if I were pregnant, even though I had numerous home pregnancy tests and blood tests that said I wasn't. Now after not having a period for many months, and feeling pregnant since early August 06, I finally had a positve home preg test on October 22, 06, and confirmed it with numerous more tests since. I now have my first prenatal appt on Friday and I will finally be able to see how far long I am. I am so thankful for this website because it helped me see that the doctor's can be wrong, and that I know my body better than anyone else. Good luck to everyone else having similar situations, hang in their and take care of yourself because it is possible that you know your body better than docs do! I will let you all know how far along I am next week, and this should be interesting! ↑
Hey everyone. I'm eighteen years old and started my period when I was ten. It has been pretty regular since....I have been sexually active and I haven't had my period since June 2006. I took a home test (twice) around august and both came out negitive and then later in September I took another urine test at the doctors which also came out negitive...I didn't think much of it after the Doctors appointment, but now it has been five months (including this month) since my last period, and I was wondering if I could possibly be pregnant. For the first few months I felt really ill, sick to my stomach and what not. Now, I feel like I have to urinate more often, my lower back has been sore and my I've been getting headaches more often then not. Like I said before I haven't really given it much thought until I found this forum....so I'm pretty sure it isn't just a trick of the mind...
Anyways, I was just wondering what ya'll had to say...or if you could give me any ideas...
Thanks!

It is so reassuring to read everyones stories. I am 27 and think that I am about 4 wks pregnant, but all urines tests have shown negative. I am going to make a dr appt next week. I have been nauseous, tired, a little moody, and my breasts have been really sore. I had my period on the 6th of Nov, but it only lasted for 2 1/2 days. My breasts got sore about a week before my period and have been sore ever since, and seem to get more sore by the day. Thank you all for your stories. ↑
I know what your going through. I have three daughters and I did every thing I could to find out if I was pregnant and the tests said no including blood tests but come to find out I was and I didnt find that out until I was almost five months. ↑
i have a question...and no one answers it directly...anywhere...i am over a week late for my period. my boyfriend and i do not have sex...but we mess around...so...his penis...has never been inside me. so here is the deal...i am over a week late...i have taken 3 different pregnancy tests...1 EPT,2 Answer and 1 generic brand....all are negative...
is it common to get a false negative? or are the tests generally correct?
i haven't had any other symptoms except for more acne than usual...
and i do have some discharge.
just let me know...a straight answer from ANYWHERE would be amazing. ↑
hey i was due on the week b4 lst i did a pregnancy test it came bk neg now im 2 weeks late iv never missed a period b4 shall i take anutha test or am i just not pregnant can some 1 help thanks xxxxx ↑
hello all....i havent had a period in 3 months (going on 4)....no spotting....no urges to urinate more (i'm a teacher so would have to hold it anyway)...i've taken 7 home pregnancy tests (three different brands) and all have been bfn. people say its stress but as the months go on i'm leaning towards its not stress. i had 2 periods in september and that was the last time af showed. anyone have a positive blood test after 7 failed hpt negatives??? ↑
I am going through the same thing I havent had a period in 3 almost 4 months and neg tests but everything in me says I am prego and the symptoms (it cant be in my head that my bust size has went up a cup size) the last resort is an ultrasound. My mom had the same problem all the test were neg and finally found out she was prego with an ultrasound so I still don't know if I am prego but if it's any help I am going through a simular problem. Hope this helps and good luck! ↑
i did go to the doctor, and i had a negative test there. and what do you know af decided to show her face, 45 mins after i left the doc. i guess i got one of the rare false positives (with my luck it was a defective hpt). he said it was more than likely just stress related. a little disappointed but relieved at the same time. mixed emotions. ↑
Hi everyone, I can't believe that there are so many other people experiencing what I am going through.
My last proper period was Dec 07, since then I have had 3 months of very light periods. I have 2 other children and these past few months I have been having the same pregnancy symptoms as i did with them.
The last week or 2 my waistline has got bigger my jeans are now beginning to feel tight on me, but I have done 4 preg tests and they have all been neg.
I have made an appointmen to see my doctor, because this is driving me mad. Me and my husband are not trying for another baby, but a couple of months ago we got a bit carried away, but he withdraw in time. I know you can still get pregnant. I feel sick every day, even cooking food (especially dealing with raw meat), makes me heave, and this week I have been having really bad dizzy spells.
hey I'm four weeks late and bfn!!!! no spotting and no light period. i just skipped my second period yesterday! Tell me how you make out at your appointment ↑
i havent goten my period in 3 months and i have taken home pregnancy tests about 5 of them and they came up negative. i look 4 months pregnnt and its not just chubbyness ITS HARD. i was in the emergency this week for bleeding and they made me pee in a cup and they tested me for being pregnant and it came out negative and that i had a bladder infection. i have been very tired, sleep all day. when i wake up i feel like im gona puke. after i eat i feel like im gona puke and just feel like sleeping. i never have energy anymore. and i have a feeling deep inside that i am pregnant because i can feel it. me and my boyfriend have been havin unprotective sex for 6 months now i have to be pregnant. im goin to go for a blood test this week maybe then it will show up that i am pregnant. but if im not pregnant wat else might i have? ↑

Well I'm seeing my doctor today, have to say if i am not pregnant , my stomach sure look like i am. Scared to go out in case someone ask's me when it's due. Having to wear elasticated trousers, as my usual size 14 (uk size), jeans don't fit to good now.
Well I have been to see my Doctor and what a complete waste of time that was. Firstly he sais that seeing as the tests were negative and that I had some blood, then there is no way that i can be pregnant.
When I explained that i am not desperate for a bby, so therefore My body is playing tricks on me, he then turned and said to me "What do you think is wrong with you". At this point i felt like screaming at him thats what you are there for.
Told him that i had looked on the internet and there are lots and lots of women on there who have or are going through the same as me, and some of them even had 4+ tests come back neg and they ended up being 3+ months pregnant.
He finally agreed to do a water sample, which I then suggested I wanted a blood test as well.
All i know is that something is not right, I am not saying 100% i am pregnant, but i sure as hell look it.
Hi Everyone,
Here's my story-for the past month now I have been having pregnancy symptoms. I was 2 weeks late on my period and then when it finally came it only lasted 2 days and then just stopped which is very unusual for me as my periods are always about 6 or 7 days and very heavy also I'm always like clockwork!I have this strong intuition that I am pregnant even though I have took about 10 urine tests which are all negative. My stomach has suddenly become swollen and it feels heavier and tighter on the right side...I can feel movement at times and I' m sure I could possibly be 4 or 5 months pregnant but no one believes me! So I went to my doc for the 6th time and demanded an ultrasound scan which I luckily enough am getting tomorrow at 2pm. After reading all your stories I thought it would good for me to report back and let you know what happens.I feel sick all the time, boobs are swollen and tingly and nipples have enlarged, had a strange clear jelly like discharge tinged with blood a couple of times (like a glob when I wipe), bloody metallic taste in mouth, leg cramps and feel like the veins in my legs have begun to hurt(I'm assuming this could be from the 50 percent more blood that pumps around the body when pregnant), tingly under ribs, abdomen and back, backache, headaches. When i ly in bed on my back my right lower abdomen feels tight and I have this sharp pinching sensation behind my belly button also feels like a pulled muscle but I haven' t done any exercise! I look and feel 5 months pregnant just can't wait to see what the scan shows tomorrow, my instict is telling me that I'm pregnant but with the urine test sayin neg it puts doubt in my mind! My nan had 3 months of periods throughout her pregnancies so she was unaware. Anyway I'll make sure I report back tomorrow and let you all know how the scan goes.x ↑
hiya im 18 i have a child who is 11 months and now i feel pregnant again but i have dun about 15 tests and they have all come back neg, last month i came on ma period but only for one day and it was very light i dont want to go to the docters cuz they only look at you as your mad and that they no best and if a test didnt show then ur not can any one help !!!!! ↑
Hi im a little over a week late and feel so tired and sick just like i dad last yr b4 my miscarriage, ive taken 2 test and both neg... So am I preg or is my thyroid playing up again but last time it did i bleed for 3 weeks... what ya think?? ↑
I know exactly how all of you feel - I definitely FEEL pregnant (lower back pain, very tired, nauseous, headaches), and my period is inexplicably 4 days late. It's always come on a Wednesday, and now it's Saturday. I'm not under abnormal stress or anything like that, and I just wish I would either get a positive test or my period, I can't stand any more of this inbetween! I know tons of women promised to come back and post when they found something out one way or the other and didn't, so I will try to remember! ↑
hi everyone just to give u an update im not preg and it was my thyroid evan thou my Dr kept tellin me it wasnt... my blood work came back and it is lol. so all i can say to u girls is check ur tsh levels 1st as it will mess ur hormones up just like a pregnancy good luck to u all xx ↑
