Pregnancy Info HOME

Hi ladies. I am so glad to hear I am not the only one going through this! I am 22 yrs. old. In the twelve yrs. I've been getting my period, I've never been late or missed one. I am now six days late. I took an HPT at three days late and it came back negative. I took another one at 5 days, and got the same answer. I used the First Response tests that are supposed to detect pregnancies even before your missed period. However, my body just doesn't feel right. My breasts and nipples are really sore, I've been getting nauseus, (but not throwing up) I'm always tired, and have been getting weird pains and pressures in my abdomen. Should I try to wait it out, or test again soon? So confused!

Casper, I also worry about this. I think now maybe it will be better to go and do ultrasound, because as you wrote maybe it is something more serious than pregnancy and we need to find out instead of sitting and waiting. I spoke with my mom and grandmom and they both had a first symptom like something got stuck in your throat and it hardens swallowing. But they never had pain in the abdomenal area and I do have it. My friend who has 2 babies said that with the 1st pregnancy her breasts didn't hurt, but with second child it was hurting her. I really would love to have a 1st child and I can't believe that your mind can trick you so much that you will feel sick. When I have pain it is hard to believe in it really...I read somewhere that girl had 3 blood tests and even quantitative all were negative and she was 2 and 1/2 month pregnant and then she had miscarriage, but doctors thought she was crazy after getting 3 negative blood tests and 5 negative hpts. So even though my qualitative test was negative I would ask for ultrasound no matter waht they tell me. I can't even concentrate on my work wondering what is wrong with me. I lost interest in food and even when I eat I feel nausea a bit, I actually have more evening sickness I can't even sit on my bed for long beacuse of abdominal pain...And nowdays my jeans are tight in the lower abdominal part and lower tummy is sticking out so I feel embarassed at work...And believe me I am not overeating!!! Did anyone had anything similar and was pregnant? Casper please keep me posted about your situation. Also are you in 25-30 years category or younger? HAPPY MOTHERS DAY TO ALL OF YOU!!!

I guess my cycles are considered to be irregular...anywhere from 35 to 50 days. Anyways, my last period was Mar. 22. Since then, I have experienced an awful metallic taste in my mouth, breast soreness, feeling of being bloated, nausea, vivid dreams (not normal), veins on breasts are more prominent, etc. I am a mother of a 3 yr old and showed a positive urine test 17 dpo then. So, far I have taken numerous hpts and 2 urine test at the dr's...all I get is a neg. my heart tells me that I am, but with all the negatives...its sort of discouraging. I have an appt with the obgyn tomorrow morning and i'm scared of another negative.

Hi there, I had a missed mis-carriage in week 9/40 had D&C on 17th Jan, no period until 28th April which was normal time of month, now Im 3 weeks late. I have no symptoms of being pregnant and the 3 tests that ive done have been negative. What do you think ?

OK You all will think I am insane but here goes... I havent had my period since very early january. I took 2 generic brand hpt's and they were both negative. That was in lat Feb. I am what they consider morbidly obese at over 300 lbs. Pregnancy is very rare in women of my size, and usually full of complications. I dont have a car and the nearest clinic is quite far from here so I havent seen a dr yet. There arent any buses either. I have had several symptoms that could be explained other ways. If I lay on my stomach or lean against a wall I can feel a canteloupe sized lump in my stomach. Tumors run in my family. I have had nausea, heartburn, fatigue, restlessness, abdominal soreness, mood swings, fluttery feelings in tummy, metallic taste, oversions to foods and smells (especially hubbys cigarettes!). I have occassionally missed a month in the past but never more than one consecutively. I am going into the 5th. Two days ago I had some brownish spotting followed by some more noticeable pink, but today it faded back to brown and is now gone. Any suggestions or ideas other than "go to the dr" I know I need to go sooner or later. Thanks!

yes i went through the same situation even an ultra sound was negative. so the doctor had to draw blood.and that was the positive out come for me. the only thing is i wish i could have found out earlier.i end up haveing a miscarriage

Erin, you really sound pregnant to me, I hope you post back here and let everyone know!

Can anyone explain to me why qualitative blood test might not show you are pregnant? I read it gives answer if hCG is present or not in the blood, since in nonpregnant woman it never shows up in the blood...Then how come women still end up being pregnant with qualitative test being negative??? Please someone explain!!!!I am going crazy here!

And I forgot to mention that this was happening (negative qualitative test but pg) NOT on early stage but at 2 months pregnancy!!! (I read some responses on this website) I just don't understand. I need to know because I feel pg but my blood test is negative ad urse told me there is no point of doing quantitative if qualitative appeared to be negative!!! Help!!!

That was meant to be last period on 28th March!

Well... here it goes. Well, test after test came up negative, Doc had compassion of a damn hippo... As much as i would love to have a child of my own, (wasnt planning on it) .. gave up years ago. As i have wrote before.. I was suffering.. literally.. so bloated.. couldnt wear even the (FAT PANTS) I dealt with breakouts, bizarre headaches, and boobs would not fit in the bra.. I bout cried everytime i left the house. I had a mc in Jan.. so i thought maybe even though I had AF in march.. maybe just maybe. I began getting cramps on the left side.. staying on the left side.. felt weird in abdoment, almost like a flutter, but it was constant. I had MONTGOMERY BUMPS.. i never have more than 2... I had exactly 21 on one breast and 27 on the other. sorry TMI.. nips. went from pink to light brown.. then it happened.. cramped a bit harder.. lower abdomen, and both sides. left shoulder pain severe.. thought OMG.. I am etopic... well, do tothe fact that hubby is worrying about my doc bills already from jan.. I chose to wait it out.. and prayed hard. Well i began spotting light brown, then dark brown then red, pink, and back to brown.. stopped for a day.. then it returned again, then it went from super red spotting to a pour.... Doctor may think i am crazy... not important enough when you dont have insurance card in hand... I cried as one by one the weird type clots came. I dont know.. Maybe i wasnt pregnant.. Maybe i was.. all know.. 3 days of agony.. and now... I have excess skin on my breast.. my cramps have stopped.. my face is clear. bloatedness gone.. No more metallic taste, and no more nasal passage clog... and sadly... No more dreams... I wish you all the best. And remember.. you know your body.. DOC.. no the normal symptoms.. but they dont know everything. They dont know the word.. Different.. its OMG.. so different.. they dont know.. plese just ease my mind.. give me a blood test.. they dont know.. us.. especially when you dont have the insurance card... If something just feels different... I can tell you this.. MY neighbor, was 4 half months along, before urine test showed positive.. testing every 3 days. My sister, was 3 months along before it registered. and my test 6 weeks each time.. negative.. HCG level you can see on blood test /but for what ever reason it came up negative on HPT. .... best wishes.. Rhonda...

hey tania,
i was kinda freaking out the other day, i just want to know whats wrong with me i don't feel comfortable with my doctor but i'll wait till the 16th when i have an appointment with the FPA and if i still don't have it then, well i will ask if i can get a blood test, i mean i peed in a cup again today and it still said negative, i have never had one of those swob test ( u know the stick the thing up there and get it tested for cancer) so i've scared at even the thought of maybe havign to open my legs for some chick to look around. i'm trying not to think about it too much till after my appointment with the FPA i'm just glad i don't have to pay for my tests ( i get them from the midwife centre) i haven't talked to my mum about it god she'd kill me with questions concidering i don't even talk to the guy i was sleeping with back in feb. i know my sister has had some problems with periods and my nana had cancer of the uterus.i don't know what to do or think, i'm 19 by the way just turned. i don't know if the weight i have put on is from me just eatign to much or what, god i went to the gym the other day and my tummy was hurting much more than i though it shoudl have been. i mean normaly id always had protected sex but when i was with cody for some reasion we just didn't use them i slept with him a bit. that was back in feb, god i haven't had sex sents then, it's the 9th may last time i got it was the 9th feb. so after the 9th i'd probably slept with cody like 12 times before the end of feb, i dont' know what eles to say, this is just driving me crazy. all these youge people find out they are pregnant and don't want to be and go and get ride of it, i want to be and don't know if i am.

I have been experiencing the same thing. My story is; I was on the pill and I was on the pill for a year and then I got off for a year, I got back on the pill in January and now that I am back on it, it has been very weird. The last time that I had sex was in February and it is now May. I was not too good in February and I missed a couple of pills but I would always double up on pills the next day. In February I was about 4 days late on my period and I started to worry because I have never been late on the pill before, I was always on time. Then in March it happened again where I was late and my period did not last long and it seemed to be light. When my period was late again and did not last that long I started to think I was pregnant so I went to a clinic and took two test and they both came out negative. Then in April I did not start at all and so I went to the doctor’s office and she gave me a pregnancy test and it came out negative. The doctor also told me to go back in 10 days where I will take another pregnancy test and she took me off the pill. I am now 16 days late. My friend that just had a baby started to notice a change in me. One thing that she had been noticing was that I was really emotional lately and for some reason she thought I was pregnant. I started to tell her how I was late for two months with a light flow and that I am now 16 days late and that I had been feeling pains in my abdominal like if I was going to start but I don’t and that for a couple of weeks my breasts are really sore where it sometimes hurts to go up or down stairs. I don’t know what to do, I think I am pregnant but then I get negative tests. I also tried to get the doctor to give me a pelvic examination but she told me that they can not diagnose pregnancy that way. I want to go get an ultrasound but I do not know where to go and get an appointment.

Hi Nica
I am going to the doctor tomorrow after work. I'll let you know what happens. Every sign/symptom tells me I am but the test tell me no. I wanna know either way. I have a friend in work that had a negative test too. She got a blood test and it came out in her blood test. She said sometimes the HCG doesn't show up in your urine. She didn't have any in her urine but showed in her blood. So I'm gonna have my blood checked.
