My fiancee and I are trying to concieve. I have been having pregnancy symptoms . I have been really tired lately ,going to the bathroom alot, I had what I thought was Aunt Flow but now I am not so sure as my periods have been really normal . this time it was normal at all. my belly is bloated and my boobs are tender, I have some discomfort in my tummy . I know this is not pms symptoms as i lack the hormone that causes pms symptomd so I Don't get any warning when my period comes . If I am pregnant I would be about 5 weeks I have taken 4 hpt and they were neg . I did go to a pregnancy center twice both neg. I don't know if it is becuase I lack that hormone or not. please if you have any advice let me know . I have no insurance so going to the doctor is out of the question

Could a free clinic give you a blood test for pregnancy? That would one of the most for-sure ways to tell, because the pregnancy hormone would have built up in your blood by now. Sometimes pee tests can be wrong but blood tests don't usually lie. Good luck!

Which hormone do you think you're missing? Progesterone? Estrogen? Those are the two that are linked most to pms and without one of those, there is no way on earth you are pregnant, sorry. If you are serious about conceiving, you need to see a specialist.

I was put on growth hormone when I was 14 and was checked to see If I could ovalate . everything was fine. The Doctor said I just won't have the normal symptoms of PMS. My Mom is missing the same hormone and had 4 kids . So I know it is possible that I am pregnant despite what the pee test shows . I have no insurance so going to the doctor is out of the question for me . I am a certified bra fitter and measured my belly and I went up 2 sizes in my waist and I went up a 1 bra size. I am so confused as to what my body is telling me. I also have had major cravings for toasted coconut marshmallows. I have eaten 4 back in 3 days. any other info you guys can give me would be appreciated thanks

I know you said you don't have insurance, but if you could find a free clinic to give you a blood test I really think that would answer your question. If you are pregnant you need to find out ASAP to start preparing! If your body is changing like you said, you need to know!! Try looking in your phone book for clinics and then call and ask about a blood test. GL!!
