Pregnancy Info HOME

i agree with what okay said about the phantom pregnancy thing because i had one!!! i had all the sign of pregnancy,my periods were lighter and only lasting a couple of days instead of my normal 5-6 days,even my belly grow firmer and rounder and looked 3-4 months pregnant,but tests were still neg but i honestly believed i was pregnant,then suddenly my belly just disapered along with the pregnancy signs,its hard to believe that something like this happens but believe me girls it does and its not a nice experience! for me i wont think im pregnant again until the test says so although i know these tests arent always reliable,but im not going to put myself through 4 months of what ive just been through again!

Are you sure you didn't suffer an early miscarriage? With a phantom pregnancy you have NO period, not a shorter/lighter one. A miscarriage in the 1st trimester often seems like a heavier than normal period. There have been women on this website that had shorter periods and negative tests, but later had a documented miscarriage (usually diagnosed in an emergency room.) I don't think you had a phantom pregnancy at all!

Hi ladies,
Well being on the internet I read about few diseases and by the way endometriosis has most of the signs of pregnancy...Check out this site for example:

only one thing I didn't find is missed period...

I am waiting in limbo like the rest of you. My last period was Mar 6. I am going to the doc for the second time on Wed. I've taken a couple of pg tests and all negative The first doc I went to just told me to wait 3 months and if AF didn't come then to come in and he'll give me a pill to make it come. No tests, no nothing. How can a doc be so insisitive? My DH just sits back and waits. I'm just sitting here wondering what to do next. I hope this doc will tell me something. I would love to be pg but honestly I just want to know why. I stopped taking BC in October so I should be all fixed by now. I just hope this new doc will do something rather then look at me like some stupid woman.

Is clearblue easy a better brand, because I need to get an answer. I should be 6 months pg. I have not taken a hpt in months now because they keep coming up neg. I need to know so I can know where to go from there.

Hi everyone. I am so glad to have found this site. I thought i was going totally insane. God's honest truth. I am addicted to hpt. they all come out slightly possitive but dr. says no. breast enlargment, nausea, i am tired all the time and very moody, period like feelings but no period i am 2 weeks late. i was never late before always 27 days apart with no fluctuation. I have even started looking up germ cell carcinoma the cancer that produces hcg. i feels so pregnant! but nothing confirmed yet.... help going insane in montana. for the record i have had 6 children. two were twins that passed away a couple of days after they were born. i know i O'd about a week late but something should show up soon. either a period or a pregnancy confirmation... any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Hi, wow, I thought I was going crazy because I have been having so many pg symptoms and had a very late very short af. but keep testing negative. I have been trying to figure out what else could be wrong with me, now I am thinking PCOS might be a possibility thanks Kelly for that website. I have a Dr. appt on the 18th so I will bring that up to her.

Wow, glad to know I'm in a similar boat! I'm currently 16 days late, and I'm usually on a 30 day cycle that comes every month like clockwork. The past two weeks, my boobs have hurt like heck, and I've been cramping slightly on and off for a week now, but no monthly visitor. I spotted for two days last weekend (light pink), but barely enough to fill an eyedropper, so I don't think that was my period.

However, every single hpt I've taken (six) have come back negative. I spoke to my doctor's office on the phone this week to ask them their opinion, and they said to wait another week, take the test again, and if it's still negative to call them and they'll schedule a blood test. We'll see.

This is so frustrating!!!!

I was nearly 2 months pregnant but kept receiving negative home pregnancy tests results. After 2 different attempts, I was finally informed of positive pregnancy results with blood tests. It was a emotional roller coaster!

I am having a frustrating time like many of you. I have had 2 pregnancys, the first a mc and the 2nd a normal pregnancy and a healthy girl who is now 2. Anyhow I've taken 4 hpts and one blood test at the drs. I've had a feeling that I am preg and am like 10 days late now, and am never late. I've been nautious, weird stomach feelings, headaches, gloating, weird appetite..the works. I am not convinced of the 5 negative tests but dont know when to test again. My first day of my last period was the 4th of April, and I only had sex once, on April 30th..which seemslate to concieve..but what else could it be? A few days ago I had some really mucousy discharge and a tiny spot of blood which was pink or redish. That was it. I just pray that God will reveal these things to us in good time. I don't think I am going to est again until I feel compelled to do so, maybe a week or so from now.

Natalie it can be stress, it can be gain or loss of weight, it can be cyst too...30th of April seems latevto conceive to me too...If symptoms don't stop in 10 days do blood test and the one that measures your hCG level not the one that says "yes" or "no". Did you ever have unusually long periods and very painful?If yes it might be endometriosis too then...Hope it helps...Good luck....

Ok....update. On friday I started to spot. but then turned into my period but it doesn't look like my period if that makes sense to anyone. It probably sounds crazy but it doesn't. Could I have had a tubal pregnancy? How would they test for something like that? Would the signs of pregnancy that I have had been the signs but the tests all came negative cause it was tubal? Any advice would help greatly. I'm really scared. I don't know what's going on w/my body. I know I'm sounding so stupid and nutty and I feel like I'm loosing my mind...but I need some help. Maybe someone's gone through this.

I am sorry I do not beleive in a phantom pregnancy. Not if it makes your stomach grow. It could be a possibility of something else like a molar pg.

i need help. i haven't had a period since march 2005. my husband and i are trying to have a baby and therefore i am not using any birth control. my breasts are so tender. i have taken 3 tests and they have all been negative. i am gaining weight and am very irritable. the last couple of days my body has been very sore. another thing is that i have been having some strange dreams. any advice and/or info. would be greatly appreciated. i am putting off taking another test because i am afraid of getting another negative result. it is very heartbreaking. thanks in advance.

hi cricket here again just wanted to update everyone. started spotting alot of clear stretchy mucus tinged with blood today. i was at my b/f house and just left. he didn't want a baby and i couldn't face seeing the releif on his face. i am upset! and hiding at home. having 4 children already who would have been very unhappy about this pregnancy and a family that would have been livivd and unsupportive.I still didn't care i wanted to have this baby and know i am in for another hard misscarage with no one but you guys to share my inner most feelings with. think i am going to go lay down and cry for a little while. thank you for all your help and support and good luck to all of you that are waiting desperately for a baby my thoughts and prayers are with you. cricket. legs4lips@aol.com

I've never been pregnant, I'm 24 and I've never missed a period. I'm 30 days into my cycle so I should have had my period 9 days ago. sometimes it will be one or two days late but never more than that. I had some light spotting when I should have gotten my period but that was it. I took a hpt two days ago but it was negative so I'm going to go to the doctor and get another test. One thing I was worried about is that I had a couple of nights where I have had 3 or 4 drinks (alcohol) and this was before I missed my period and I was wondering how this could affect my baby if I am pregnant. I was wondering if anyone has had experience with this. I haven't been drinking since I missed my period but I'm worried that if I am pregnant this could have hurt my baby. Has anyone ever done this before? Thanks for listening.
