Pregnancy Info HOME

Update from dr.s appt today. I have a bunch of tiny cysts on each ovary and one that is about 2cm on my right ovary which they think is stopping my periods. I'm starting progerterone for 10 days which will hopefully start my period, then we see if my cycles start up normally again.

ok i am very young and my period is 7 weeks late... i took 3 tests and one came out postive w/ a faint line and now the other two i just took was negative... i have morning sickness and i throw up... my stomach is bigger and my family can notice it but what do i do now... am i pregnant?

Hey I have been trying for 3 years now coming my thrid year anniversary with me and my husband. I have a step daughter i a blessed with so for the most part he is good but i seem to be having all the problems in the world. I was prgnant last year and at 10 weeks had a miscarriage that was the first time i found out i was RH negative. The last period i had was march 1st it lasted 5 days and now it is may 20th do the math hahah and I went early on about 4 weks ago had a faint positive so I figured just go on and I had like 3 tests done there and a pee test and then i went to the hospital had a back up HCG test and it was negative. Today i felt a flutter on my lower right side it wasnt gassy feeling it felt like i butterfly flapping around it was awsome took another test and it was negative I have spent over 500.00 in the poast 3 years on tests alone and docotrs visits and everything over 2000.00. I am getting tested for all sorts of hormone stuff in 2 weeks but i really want and ultrasound done big time that would pretty much rule out if i was or not and then i would be all hunky dorey to proceed and keep trying and do anything i had to to get pregnant. This is my life ambition i want to be a mom the idea of being a mom makes me feel like a better persona dn I have already bought things for my baby or babies whenever we have tons of stuff i am so ready for a baby. I have names picked out and colors and daycare and all the basic necessities like crib etc... i know everything i want. I know the hospital how much it will cost. the doctor everything i even know i want a sesection because beiong RH negative can put my baby at risk the long i am in birth so it is safer to have a sesection and it ensures no mixing of our blood in caes i have a positive baby so it is safer all around. I mean nop offense but i sware I want to be a mom more than anyone it feels like. I mean i spend my life around having a child my proffession, homes, cars, everything. I am past the point of confused it is just chaotic and it kills me eqch and every day but i just perk up and say move on keep trying dont give up you are young it will happen I mean i am only 20 but all my friends have been pregnant all of them I mean all of them and yet i am the only married one LOL. I am just going to be poked and protted and everything to see whats wrong if i have hormonla issues all of that icky stuff. but it will be good to help myaslef if anything is wrong and detect it sooner rather than later when i may have a chance to reverse what could happen by me not getting pregnant if i never helped myself. Its all for having a child i will do anything. So ladies just figure out anything if you are having troubles getting prgnant then go to your doc and get blood tests done to make sure your homones equal and there is like 20 tests that are all blood tests that need to be done so if the doc just takjes you blood li,e one or 2 times and hes only says a few things he is testing you for there is a heck of a bunch because my doctor thinks i might have polyfibercystic ovaries and that is where instead of ovulating every month you may only ovulate like 5 or less times a year to evwn never ovulating and if put on hormones and detected early enough it could prevent early menopause and high guarentee of pregnancy so check all of that out read up on it and dont disreguard i am a heavier set woman and I have hair growth like on my tummy and i break out easy and i usually have regular periods but i big one is irregualr periods mood swings and it can be a major cause for the possiblity of you being larger so balancing hormones can fix all that you loose weight if it works the way it should and you ovulate and if it can be fixed with just hormones you wuill be okay but there can always be other problems beside that if you cant get pregnant easily so good luck i will check back on soon enough. tralk to you later. bye ladies!!

Hello--How is everything with your pregnancy-hopefully great!! I was wonderring if you would share: did the OB/GYN have any explanation for all your false-negative tests? Have they checked your blood hCG again? Have you had any positive pregnancy tests now? Your story is facinating! Congratulations on your pregnancy!

Wow, this sounds like what I'm going through. I had my last period on April 6th. About 2 weeks later I started spotting old blood for 2 weeks on and off and having period like cramps and bloating. The only time I've ever spotted between periods was when I was pregnant 9 years ago. I've been on b/c pill since then (and I'm currently on it now). I took a HPT and it was BFN. I went to the nurse a few days later and she did a pelvic exam and said everything felt fine. She wouldn't even consider that I might be pg since I'm on the pill. She did schedule an U/S for later that week b/c she thought I might have a cyst or fibroid or something that she missed in the exam. The U/S showed nothing at all. The nurse said it's normal and just wait it out. It is not normal for me (especially being on the pill!). After spotting for 2 weeks I called back and the nurse finally agreed that it wasn't normal and told me to come in for blood tests. They checked my hormones, thyroid and did a blood pregnancy test. All the results were normal (I would have been about 4 1/2 weeks pg by then if I am at all). So, I'm left wondering what is going on. I'm exhausted all of the time, can't sleep enough. My nipples are very sensitive, always erect and sore (not usual for me). I've been having some heartburn too, which is also not normal for me. I drink tons of water so I pee all the time to start with, so I can't use that as an indicator. I don' t know what to think. My boobs are becoming increasingly more sore and I get random waves of nausea after I eat sometimes. My stomach is getting bigger too. The nurse told me to stay on the pill so I did. I'll finish my pack on Sunday and would have a withdrawal bleed next week. I never had one in the beginning of May. I'm wondering if I am pg, would I still have a withdrawal bleed and if so, would that hurt the baby? I guess I just have to wait it out, but I just want to know now!!!

Hey everyone! here's what i'm wondering about.. first of all, my last period was at the beginning of feb. have sex around when i suspected ovulation. now, i have to mention that after my feb period i stopped taking the pill. i expected my period to be late, but before it was only about 2 weeks. i estimate if i was pregnant i'd be 12 weeks. i've taken like 8 HPTs and all BFN! i've had some signs, like i was really tired. even after 10 hours of sleep i could barely wake up. these last couple of days i've been less tired. i've been nauseous (in my throat not stomach like someone said before) but no vomitting. increased cm. around the time when i should have gotten my period i had a little spotting. i read about implantation bleeding on the net and how they described it was exactly how it was. i've felt lightheaded.been really moody lately. and my stomach feels weird. i don't really know how to describe it. i'm very aware of it, if that makes sense.it feels different. full. and awkward. and how i lay sometimes feel uncomfortable and weird, but it never did before. i had a doc's appointment yesterday and they did a blood and urine test. both BFN. just got the blood results about 20 minutes ago. also did a pelvic exam. now, my question is, by this point (12 weeks) it would be pretty obvious from lookin inside if i were pregnant or not, wouldn't it? i mean, my cervix would be blue and my uterus enlarged and she would have been able to tell by now, right? i know i should just let it go and believe i'm not, so that's why i'm asking. i just want to know if i should give up hope.

go to the doctors and get an ulta sound to see if thers any thing in ther

I completely understand. I would be about 14 weeks, but I too feel like I need to stop thinking that I have a possiblity of being pregnant. Maybe it's all in my head. I too, had a pelvic exam about a week ago, and he said everything looks fine and my uterus is not enlarged. (it would be by now) Yes, when you are pregnant, your cervix does turn blue-ish, and sometimes your labia too. Yet, I keep feeling pregnancy symptoms. I've even started feeling flutters! I've had two negative blood tests. Crazy, huh?

TO MANDY: Congratulations (belated)!!! Your story have really touched me. Can you believe that science could fail so miserably.7,8,9,10 weeks pregnant and the test HPT still doesn't work. I am soon to be in your situation myself and I was wondering if I could bug you for some answer. I am 11 days late and there is NO sign of my period. My breasts are sore and I pee every five minutes. I have taken tests but they all came out negative. Two of them turned positive after 2 days and one turned after only two hour. I know that you aren't supposed to look that late after, but neither of them changed back to negative. When I forst missed my period I was a bit upset but I am now starting to get excited and I am afraid that I will get disappointed if I'm not pregnant. You see, my brother in law passed about a week ago and my boyfriend and I are convinced, that if I am pregnant, it is him who has found a way back. LOL I'm not crazy, just a little superstituous(spelling?). Anyway, the questions that I have for you are: "What kind of tests did you use?" Did you get a blood test? Did you ever see a faint line on your HPT?

I'm trying not to think about being pregnant, but obviously i can't. i know there are some people that don't even find out till they're like 4 months, but the chance of me being one of those people isn't very likely. chances are, i'm just not pregnant. of course, until i get my period, i'm still going to hope. i just want to get it over with and come already. every though the tests says no, i still think of all the symptoms and everything and wonder how can it be that they're negative. before i went to the doctor i was almost positive that i was pregnant. there should be a sure fire way to know if you're pregnant right away!! like when you're playing the sims, and you hear the baby music. that should happen in real life!! would make things a hell of a lot easier!!

Oh my Mandy, I am glad you finally had a CLEAR responce to your doubts, I think HTP's are not as accurate as they claim to be, I am more than a week late now and I am a VERY regular 22 year old woman, I took an HPT a few days ago and showed Negative, but I still haven't got my period, I'm not having all the pregnancy symptoms, but I have lower back pains, I feel tired even when I sleep more than 8 hours, they don't seem to be enough now, I pee a lot lately, LOTS of headaches, almost everyday :-s , and today I felt dizzy while sitting and that is the most weird thing 'cause I never feel dizzy, so I am really frustrated with this, I try not to think I'm pregnant because I don't want to trick my body, but still I feel there's something weird with my body, I'll update in a few weeks to inform you all if I'm pregnant or not, because after all the things I've read here, I think i should not trust my HPT's results.
Thank you all for sharing your stories, specially Mandy who went through a lot, CONGRATS MANDY!

Melissa, isnt this the absolute worst thing of your life? I mean I have headaches, back aches, HEARTBURN (which is the wierdest because its a first) and I am so tired, also which is wierd I feel dizzy a lot. My HPT's are negative. How late am I? 2 days, but i wonder why the heck i just cant bring myself to the doctor and get a blood test. My boyfriend is making me do it today. No matter what the results are, we are happy. It is just so hard to wait and be confused. It makes me more emotional and make my symptoms even worse. I have like 3 tiny white bumps on my left areola, any comments on this?

Hello from the Netherlands.....I had no idea so many women have had or are having the exact same experience as me. Mandy's positive result have given me my hope back. If I am pregnant I know I am only between 4 and 5 weeks. I have done 4 hpt's (all neg). Other then my period not starting I really have had no other symptoms....early on I did throw up once, never thought anything about then the next day I had some mild spotting, then low and behold mt period didn't start...My periods have been like clock work for the last three years (since I started paying attention) maybe always. A couple of nights ago I had some mild cramping. But still the HTP's are neg. I am 42 yrs old and my husband has since schelduled a visectomy (I can't go though this stress again so I suggested it) so it's now or never for me. I am afraid of a neg. result when I see a doctor for more thourough testing but I must because the stress of not knowing is making me (and the people around me :) bonkers. It's just nice to know I am not alone. Fingers crossed!!

RAV and Donna, my advice to you is to wait another week and then test again if you don't get your period. I know that's the hardest thing to do (as I'm doing it myself), but if you are pregnant you will still be in another week. In the meantime, act as if you are and be kind to your body. I missed my last period about 3 weeks ago and went in for blood tests couple of days later. It was negative. I'm still having symptoms and have decided to just wait and see if I miss another period next week. HPT's are too expensive and too stressful! If you do go in for testing, please let us know the results!

Well ladies, I got my blood test yesterday but because of the Memorial day weekend I wont get my results til Wednesday or Thursday. I'm still not sure how I feel about this whole being pregnant thing. I am only 23. Unlike most of you here who are trying to get pregnant, I was on the pill trying NOT to. I guess there is a plan for all of us. I'm not even sure if I am going to keep it if I am. ANyway, I'll keep you guys posted and let you know if I'm pregnant or not.

I see the Doctor on Wednesday morning, so hopefully I will have some answers soon. I will let you all know
