Pregnancy Info HOME

Well I have a lot more symptoms now, including nausea :( If you read my earlier posting, I had a period that was not by any means normal for me (started on 8/14), and noted the veins and spots on my areolas. Well I now have more veins and more spots...I don't know what this is! I have not tested since 8/16. I have vowed to stop obsessing and not test again until I miss a period. So confusing!!! Has anyone one else had these? Know what a possible cause might be?

Are you taking care of yourself? You could be pg. I was, but you can mentally make yourself feel pg even if your not. That whole mind over matter thing. If you are starting to have more symptoms, I would recommend calling your dr, or going and getting a cheap test. If it is negative you might just be having some other hormonal thing that is making you this way, or you really want to be and your body is responding to that. Or it could be positive. But no matter what, just take a deep breath, if you believe in God have a honest conversation with him, and do what you feel is best. Let us know how ya feel in a couple of days.

Crystal, did you have these symptoms with the veins and what not. Just really weird because I never had any of this before. If anything it is the opposite, I have convinced myself that I am not pg! I can't lose that way:)

WELL..... I don't remember my nipples darkening. I had been pg so many times so close together at that point. I was just nauseated, tired, crying, all that stuff.. My nipples did only darken with pg though. The first one. Then the babies where so close together, they just recently changed back. My first was in 95, last was '01 with a total count of 5 pgs during that time. (But only 4 babies). I have had plenty of times when I thought I was pg, convinced myself because I was nauseated ALOT, sore boops, etc.. but no in none of the thought catagories did my breast ever change. I have had sever false alarms since '01, but never nipple change, other things yes, that no. But if I were you I would get it checked out. If your not pg and your breast are changing PLEASE PLEASE consult a Dr. Don't just poo poo it away. There might be something more significant giong on. Tell me what happens

Crystal, I will consult a dr if things continue. I have my annual in a few weeks, so if nothing else I will bring it up then. Thanks. So nothing at all with veins?

You can have veins show more as the blood flow increases to the breast and as the breast swell.. That is all I can say I hope all works out soon for you.

N.S.- i also started "my period" today. it is very different... extremely clotted. i still think we may have had chemical pregnancies that just didn't "take." anyone have any suggestions with ovulation predictors or "sure" ways to conceive? any thoughts welcome... thanks :-)

i agree with you rhonda....i do believe it was a chemical pregnancy....
my pregnancy symptoms are all gone except for the slight nausea i had this morning. i do want to concieve again....so if anyone has any suggestions...please help

I can tell you a couple of great books. Both of which are really great with information. One is Taking Charge of your fertility by Toni Weschler. This is just an awesome book. It will answer more of your questions than almost any DR or email forum! Another one I have had success personally with is "How to Choose the Sex of your Baby" by Dr Shettles I have used its methods I have 4 children two boys and two girls. It was not an accident. I have always concieved when using it. It claims 75% effective on sex selection, but I would say more effective than that. Even if you don't want to choose, but you really want to increase your chances use that book. I always got pg the same month of trying with those methods. So I hope this helps.

I just wanted to add to Crystal's comment about the book. I have started reading recently, and it has been extremely helpful, and I even felt like it reduced stress.

Well, I still have not gotten my real period. I was bleeding on the 18th after being 5 1/2 wks late, but only while going to the bathroom. And it wasn't like my normal period, but just clotting. Then it stopped and I began spotting on the 21st. I only spotted once while going to the bathroom and while whiping only. It was pinkish. For the past week or so, CM has been coming out clear. I have cramping in my lower abdomen and my lower back continues to hurt. I am not sure what is going on. Does anyone have an idea?

Hi, I'm so thankful to read all of your responses b/c I know I'm not alone. I stopped taking BC pills 6 months ago b/c I didn't like being on hormones. My boyfriend and I weren't planning (used condoms, but every now and then-the pull out method (which we know is risky). My period was due aug. 10th. I'm 15 days late. About a month ago I saw my dr. and told her I was always nauseous. She tested me for a UTI b/c i was also peeing alot. The UTI was neg. and I took my own HPT which was neg. (bought from 99 cent store-others are so expensive). She said the nausea maybe heartburn and reccomended Zantac. The nausea finally let up a few weeks later, but every now and then i feel it a little. I have a lot of lower back pain and "menstral like" abdoment cramps for a while now, but no period. I feel like there's a balloon in my stomach and I look fatter. I'm also peeing alot and lately feeling full faster when i eat. I took an "Answer" HPT last night and last Sun. both NEG and it's an early detection test-it's been 15 DAYS, no period-i'm so frustrated. I went to the dr. today and got a blood test . . . the dr. office still had pending results when I called and then they closed. The lab won't tell me the results. I might be able to get them tonight with the lab result 24 hour lline or i have to wait for the morning. I'm going crazy! I'm 28 and decided I could have this baby-I really want children and although I'm in the middle of grad. school I'm going to go for it if it's positive!

JC--I hope you get the answer you are looking for. Let us know how it turns out :)

I am about 5 days late and I took a Fact Plus HPT this morning and got a VERY faint positive result. However, after buying a First Response HPT later in the day to re-test, I am getting negative results...I've taken two of those. Does anyone know if it is likely that the first faint positive was incorrect? I'm not sure what to do from here...

Jennifer- Know that when you do it late in the day your urine is diluted. Try in the morning again. Usually a faint positive is a positive. Good luck

Thanks, Toni. :) I actually tried again this morning with my last First Response and got another negative...I'm so confused.
