Pregnancy Info HOME

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.

It's now been 9 weeks since my last period.. so basically 5 weeks late. I'm on the pill so at first I thought it could be just that, but I've started to have the whole nausea, sore back, tender breasts thing (it feels like somebody elbowed me, ouch). Also my stomach isn't as squishy, and the waistbands on all of my pants (even my baggy fat pants) feels really uncomfortable and snug. Last week they were still baggy on me. Every test I've had has sadi negative but I'm going to go talk to the women's clinic tomorrow afternoon to see what they say. Several of my friends think I probably am since the timing of when I had sex was smack in the middle of when I would of been ovulating (most likely) had my pills not worked. I kinda missed two days in a row and had to double up... not very responsible of me but sometimes these things happen I guess. Part of me really hopes I am. I'm graduating from college and am at a stage in my life where I think I'm ready to become a mother. I guess I'll just hope for the best what ever the best might be :)

I'm 6 days late, had a negative ept today. this would not be my first pregnancy if i am, but i was wondering if you could have every symptom in the book for your first pregnancy, and almost no symptoms for the second pregnancy,my gut tells me i'm pregnant, but i don't feel like death as i did with my first pregnancy. thanks in advance for any responses

With my first pregnancy I tested positive at home and figured I was 3 to 4 weeks pregnant then. It was hard to say because I wasn't sure when I conceived and was not having regular cycles since coming off the pill. I was in the UK where there was a waiting list for doctors, and when I was finally seen (2 months after the test) the doctors said that my development in the uterus was only perhaps 5-6 weeks. Then they sent me home and I miscarried shortly after getting off the bus. Those doctors did not support me very well because I was only 21. One foreign nurse even said that although my blood test was positive, I need not worry since I'd likely miscarry like most young girls do. I wanted to slap her.

I also had a D&C and I found that I didn't get my periods again for a few months. We came to Canada 2 months later, in July, and it hadn't arrived until the fall.

2 years later, I feel I am pregnant again, yet I have tested negative on two urine tests (the ones that worked so effectively last time). My peroids have been regular for quite some time as I live with another lady who takes the pill and we're always menstruating at the same time. Yet my last period was in March and I expect I am 2-3 weeks late. If I am not pregant I would say that I am very sick. I am always tired, irritable, sore breasts (and I have never had any PMS symtoms apart from bloating), I am gassy and I always feel like crying. However, I am also getting sharp, stabbing pains on my left side in my ribs, right under my breast. I also fainted and was getting sick on the weekend. The other telltale sign from the last pregnancy was the way my waistline which was slender and curved, is now just as thick as the rest of my torso. And, the comment about the pains could be attributed to the tissue and growth in a region where I had a surgery many years ago. However, with the negative test results, I just worry that something more serious (and much less pleasant) is actually happening instead.

This isn't an answer, I'm kind of looking for someone to talk too! I'm really confused!! And this is a really long story... My boyfriend and I have been together for 8 months and we are intimate with eachother, at the time I was wearing the Ortho Evra Patch. My last normal period was March 16th-21st. After that week my patch kept falling off and caused me to get another period about 2 weeks later. That was probably at the beginning of April, I never wrote it down and now I wish I did! I had surgery on April 13th and had just put a new patch on that day because I had not been wearing one for some reason and that night I noticed that my patch was off, thinking maybe the doctor's took it off, i dunno. My boyfriend and I have been having unprotected sex all this time, but he's been pulling out, and I know that's not a real birth control method but thats what we were doing. After a while I started to feel different, my stomach felt bloated, I got crampy and thought my period was coming but it just turned into gas, I had heartburn, (which id never had b4) I was moody, EXTREME gas!!! I always felt "wet" like I got my period but it wasn't, and I've been peeing a lot. And last week just for curiosity sake I was checking to see if there was a difference in my boobs, and when I squeezed a little a white substance came out of my right boob, nothing from my left. I've taken a lot of hpt's but all negative, and after the white substance incident I went to my doctor's that day and they did a urine test that came up negative, for some reason they don't do blood tests so I dont know where to go to get one. My sister told me that her friend was pregnant and doctor's did a urine test on her and it came up negative until they did a blood test. Then also, my friend told me that her boobs have leakage all the time, and she can't be pregnant she's a virgin. So I really don't know whats going on! I need to talk to someone, I feel like I should just wait it out and see if my period comes. Could someone help???? cassandrarose27@yahoo.com thanks for listening! :-)

I just got back from the doctor she wanted to do another blood test for pregnancy and a few others. She said it's not normal to miss two periods on the pill, one maybe, but two is a little much. She took my temp. and it was 99.3, and she said that this could be a sign of pregnancy, apparently many women that are pregnant have a slightly elevated temp. I'll know my results at 4:30 central time. The temp makes me hopeful since I almost never run a temperature :)

Where can I go for an ultrasound in Albuquerque, NM since my doctor will only accept a positive pregnancy test to show that I am pregnate.????? Help Please

hi amber......i'm a healthcare professional, so i know a little about these things. I know you cannot have an ulrasound wihout a prescription and I'm almost sure that your insurance company will not want to pay for an ultrasound if you got a negative test result and you are otherwise healhy. So basically your docor is reluctant to do it b/c he won't get paid on this test. This comes down to money. I know that these test can be costly, i'm from NY so I don't know about centers in NM. My best advice would be to pay out of pocket if you can afford it, or call a public clinic and explain the situation as they will probably be more willing to work with you. I hope this was helpful....good luck!

Thank you, Maggie. I think I will have to pay out of my pocket, because my doctor says the only way that I can find out if I am pregnant is with a urine test, and she does not want to do any other test on me.

The test is still negative, but I had a feeling it would be. I hope the doctor that I saw will call me back, she said she might. This is so frustrating. The nurse that talked to me simply said it was negative but still offered no reasons for my lack of period. I think I'll just have to wait another month. After three months I have a feeling my mother might be willing to loan me the money for an ultrasound, atleast until I graduate and can find I decent job. I'll have to wait 3 weeks before that point in time.

Greetings, i wanted to post because i am scared that if i am not preggy what could be. my symptoms are as follows, i have been nausious for well going on 3 weeks, my back is killing me, i have taken 3 preggy tests all negaitvie, i am thristy craving i think tea, and going to the bathroom alot, i am scared if i am not preggy there is something going on

I have talk to someone that says his brother's girlfriend tested neg.and they did not know she was pregnant until her stomach started growing. He said she also did not have a period and now she has 2 kids.

I'm guessing myself to be almost four month pregnant, but this past Monday May 9, 2005 my doctor told me my blood test proved negative. I'm experiencing all the symptoms of a "pregnant" woman does with my tummy growing firmer and round each month and yet, the test proved negative. My doctor said my hcg was a 2 or so and she's assigning me to have a pelvic check, but I'm scared have it done because I know for a fact I could be pregnant. I don't know if I should trust the doctor or trust myself. I really do believed I am pregnant for sure. I think the only way for me to know is to have an ultrasound. Response back anyone.

i have taken about 10 equate light + 3 ept + 2 target + first respose- the test at the dr office was - blood test was - i'm 27 dpo my breast have been swollen since 7dpo and i have huge veins in my breast i look like a road map my nipples are very sensitive my breast are my first clue to pregnancy i've had 2 children and 2 m/c my body is telling me i'm pg what would cause a blood test to be neg if i am pg i ovulated the 16th of april and we bd on the 15th & 16th i'm just kinda stuck in limbo i'm gonna give it til the end of may and call the dr back i'm afraid if i keep calling they are gonna think it's in my head.

I don't know Amber waiting doesn't sound good to me. What if this is something else? I am also pissed off actually with the healthcare system here...I am going to see nurse tomorrow and if she refuses to do anything I would just go to some other doctor and wouldn't even talk about pregnancy but complain about pain and demand ultrasound. If it pains then it is something wrong happening in the body, isn't it? As for myself I have such an acidic awful taste in my mouth and on the lips and breast is just burning inside...I can't sleep at night prperly I have unusual condition in my stomach, mu abdominal part is paining and pelvic part too, and after all of that my friend tells me I've convinced myself that I am pregnant so much??? Well I want to be pg but I can never make my body produce this horrible metallic/acidic taste which I hate... I even have some small bumps around my nipples...And all tests say negative! But you know girls last year at the doctors office I got postive urine (strip) test and it was false positive!!! I was student at the university that time in the middle of my final week and I was in shock to get positive, as it turned out they got bad strips and then they appologized for creating nightmare for me. So no I am thinking where is the guarantee that they messed up my qualitative blood test??? And Casper I think you need to take an action and go to the doctor. If you think you can provide your child with proper care and raise him/her well go for it. Of course the best would be for you to go to college but you know what? If your parents will help you out you can still get career with baby too. As for the boy whom you don't talk to well my story is that I had boyfriend for 3 years and he has M.S degree and job and once he found out that I am possible pg he turned his back on me, we don't talk anymore...But I couldn't care less, nobody should decide what will make me happy, and what I am supposed to do in my life only I can...So be yourself, go with what your heart tells you. I am sure your parents love you very much and if you'd explain them your feelings they will support you...Keep me posted on what was your final result.

casper...you sound EXACTLY like me. i just went to the dr yesterday and in the morning i am going for a blood test, the last i had sex was feb. 6...but i've just been tired, sore nipples for a couple days, and sometimes i get queezy, i get hot flashes too. but i guess i'll find out! good luck...ps a pap smear isn't that bad
