Pregnancy Info HOME

I have not posted in awhile and wanted to update you on my situation. I had my reversal done in Feb. and have been charting online at fertiliyfriends.com. It really explained to me how my cycle works and lets me know when I am most fertile. You should check it out. Two cycles ago I did not have my period...spotted. Doctor did sonagram and said it was my hormones. A hormone imbalance will give you the same signs of pregnancy unfortunately. This past cycle was on time and ovulated on time this cyle. The odd thing is I feel fluttering in my abdomen every night and after my meals but do not feel pregnant. My husband has felt it. I have nasea once in a while but from what my doctor has said, it could be hormones. So confused. My mother in law was pregnant for 4 months having her cycle the whole time. Since I have 1 tube open, it has been difficult for us to get pregnant. Charting helped me understand a lot about me though. Tests come back negative. My af due June 20th so we shall see.Last month I passed out twice and kept getting lighteaded and felt off balance.Now I feel fine so our hormones really do have effects on us. After I ovulate, my brests start to get full every month and right before af they hurt to the touch. This has to do with a certain hormone.It is so hard to tell when we are pregnant. I sarted taking prenatals right after my surgery to start adjusting my body for the baby. That was recommended by my doctor.

I hope this info helped you guys out. Good luck with your testing. I know how upsetting it is when they are negative every month. Let me know if anyone else has had flutters...don't get it. Oh and I have heard a lot of Clomid...what is it? Does it help with positive results?
Good luck...Stefm

Clomid is a fertility med that forces ovulation. It's used quite commonly with women that have trouble getting pregnant after more than 6-9 months. I am going on it starting with my next cycle.

Idntown- I dont know if this might help you in anyway. Friends of mine ive just found out were ttc for a very long time. She said that she just got into the routine that she got pregnant it was all good if not keep trying.
Well after a year and a half of trying she finally fell pregnant. I just wanted to give u a little bit of reasurance. She is now 4 months!! So im wishing u so much luck. Please keep me updated.

And to everyone else please keep me posted and I will try to give advise as best I can.

K I still havent ovulated just yet and its my 18th day into my new cycle!! I started testing on the 14th day!! Do you think I ovulated before the 14th? I hope so more chance I oculd be pregnant!! I just dont want to go through all the negative results again I was getting so low so I do know what your all going through!!

Im getting bad tummy pains though over the week like period cramping and got a very light bleeding for about an hour on Monday morning and now nothing.

Good luck guys xxxxx

hey fulhamgirl-thank you so much for the support! I actually think I may have jumped the gun once more and fallen pray to dreaded mistaking pms symptoms for pregnancy symptoms. Ya know when we are all trying so hard to get pregnant and then you feel something "different" than normal the first thing we jump to is the obvious "could I be pregnant?" and its not even a conscious thing...we just want it so bad and so it just happens that way. I am kind of bummed because early this morning all the way until now I have gotten the obvious cramping and normal signs that my period will be right on time for today/tomorrow. But all I can say is maybe next time :) Gotta keep my chin up and we gotta keep each other positive. It's a hard business TTC.

Thanks again for all the support! I'll be starting clomid this next cycle so here's hoping for the best!

And also fulhamgirl-I read that some women test twice in a day because you could test in the mornings and then your LH surge happen in the afternoon and by the next morning it won't pick it up. Just a thought. Could be that you have already ovulated, but if you want to be sure ask your doctor to perform a progesterone blood test on day 21-23 and it will tell you for certain if you did ovulate that cycle or not.

Good luck all! :)

Just an update on my situation. I have not had a period since February 13. And all test come back negative. The doctor has pulled blood to check all kinds of stuff. Then sent me for an ultrasound. The ultrasound tech said im definitely not pregnant, and she thinks she sees one cyst on my ovary. I dont have the results of the blood work back yet or the official results of the ultrasound. But he put me on a progesterone type pill for 10 days to try and jumpstart my period, i finished that this past sunday and still no period. Can one small cyst do all this? Even after being put on progesterone?

i have been also feeling flutters for about a week now every day at least a few times a day i went to the doctors and i got 2 negative blood test and a few negative hpt. So when i went back to the doctors the other day he ran more test to check for tsh and someother kind of hormone test that should show in your blood. But one of my coworkers had a cousin who had also tooken blood test and hpt test that keep coming up neg and her doctor kept on telling her that she was not pregnat. Then she had went to the hospital due to the fact of just feeling very sick cause of the last few weeks she was going out and having drinks. Well to belive it or not they end up telling her that she was 4 mo pregnat. Well when i told my doctor that story he said that he dnt belive it so now i dont no what els to do. this month will be the 3rd month of me not having my period. I guess i will wait to see what my other test results will say
Has anyone been throug this same thing

cooper34,

I am glad to hear I am not the only one feeling it. Maybe you should get a second opinion from a different doctor asking for a sonogram. If I don't get my period this month and find out I am pregnant but farther along , I am going to tell them I told you so. We know our bodies better than a doctor. If you have not had your af, and you are not pregnant, maybe you are not ovulating. Good luck to you!!! I have a friend who is on the bigger side and just had a baby. Five months later, she has not had normal af and felt weird. Went to doctor and said she had a tumor in her stomach. She went into the hospital for the surgery and this woman said she couldn't do te surgery because she was about 4 months pregnant. So, it was not a tumor, a baby. Crazy stuff. Since I have had 3 kids..youngest 7, my body is very different so I would not be able to tell till I was farther along either.
All we can do is live as we are pregnant just in case. I am going on vacation in 3 weeks and should know by then so I can hopefuly party a little. Thanks for the info. Best of luck to you.

it really feels strange that blood test is negative what about hcg if its less 2 ???i am also through a diff. situation... 6days are up 2 neg.blood, 2 negv.urine... now diagnsoed with peptic ulcer but still no periods... everyday i see one small red line ...i dont know what to do... cbc is clear no urinary infection....
i have checked in diff sites i didnt find that due to ulcer anyone can suffer with menses disorder...

Hey ya guys,

Well I'm here to inform all my soon to be mothers that I started my period today. :( What a bummer so I will try again soon I was really hoping that I'd become preggo. I hope that someone will hear good news and I'll keep you all in my prayers

Cocoa04-I started mine yesterday...boo! I hate that--maybe next month we'll both get lucky! I start taking my clomid tomorrow. I've already prepared my hubs for a rough and emotional week. I am hoping it doesn't make me too hard to live with ;)

naz, fulhamgirl, StefM, blue_star & cooper34 what's the updates?

well heres my up dates still no cycle went to the doctors last thurs the did another urin test came back neg they drew blood for thyroid and other stuff really cant remeber the names of what els they drew but when i called on friday to get the results ever thing was normal no thyroid or anything the doctor told me he didnt wnt to do and ultra until my urin test come back
+ what kind of crap is that. i really dnt no what els to do this morning when i woke up i was so dizzy if felt like i was going to pass out and i still bein felling like that on and off today. And the last cycle i had was the end of March. I am thinking of waiting to the end of this month and go to a diffrent doctor office if my cycle does not come. Just was wondering if anyone had blood test that came back neg and was still pregnat or if you no if that happen to anyone

cooper34 i have not heard of that happening, but it doesn't mean it's impossible. if it doesn't start soon i think that a 2nd opinion would be a great idea. and it's possible that your doc will prescribe some meds to bring on your period if the ultrasounds says you aren't pregnant. have you been under a lot of stress? that could cause you to miss your period. but even at that i don't think it would make you miss it for as long as you have been with out one...keep me updated as you find out more information.

started clomid today!

Hi guys,

Sorry I have not gotten back to you. I have been very sick the two weeks. I saw my family doctor yesturday cause I came down with a horrable cold that feels like the flu but not. It is viral and lasts 2- 3 weeks. Lovely. On top of that I discussed all of other issues and he took a lot of blood. Testing thyroid, white blood cells, pregnancy, and some other tests. I should know Friday whatever is goig on. I have very nauseas...got sick a couple of times. My blood pressure was high and gained 10 pds. I am not even eating much cause I feel like crap. Can't wiat for answers. Doctor seems concerned. I am expecting the worst but hopefully pregnancy will be positive. I am due for AF this weekend.

Idntown, good luck with Clomid.
cooper34..see if the doctor can put you on a fertility drug to help you ovulate if you are not getting your cycle.
CoCO4 ..just means you start fresh this cycle. I will let you know if I get mine. Probably will...

Good luck. I will touch base soon

So i just finished taking my last pill of clomid yesterday. I feel so much better today...was extremely emotional and irritable ha ha. Now we just have to have lots of sex! ha ha. Here's hoping it works!
