My name is Ashley and I am 23 years old. My symptoms started around, I would say, April. My period is irregular already. They always have been. So that has made it very hard to tell if I was preggo or not. But around April/May I would have periods, but they would only last 3 days and then stop, and they wouldn't be heavy. I have not seen my period since June. My stomach started to get stretch marks on it and it seemed really bloated. My husband said maybe you are pregnant. I took a pregnancy test...negative. I went on...ok long story short, I am just going to list my symptoms.

Nauseated, eating alot, tired ALL of the time - (keeping in mind that right now I am unemployed so I have NO reson to be tired, however, I am), my boobs don't hurt, but my nipples hurt all of the time, my lower back is always killing me. MORE STRECTH MARKS, bigger stomach, flutters/kicks in my stomach. I mean, I could go all day with my symptoms.

I went to my OBGYN back in June, he gave me a blood test - negative, and the ultra sound showed nothing. So the thought of being a mommy went out of my head. But, that did not stop my symptoms. Instead, new symptoms came along every week. I started having the CRAZIEST craving for mustard, and to this day, I still have it. I don't need preztels, or a hot dog. I just want mustard, by itself. And cheese. My friends and family think that I am crazy because I continuously have negative preggo tests, to this day. I just took another test Saturday and it came up negative. I am getting very frustrated and for the past month I have felt alot of kicking. I don't know what this could be and I am getting worried because I drink wine on the weekends. If I knew for sure that I was pregnant, I would definately NOT be drinking and after I drink just 1 glass, I'm tipsy. And when I wake up in the morning, I have the WORST hangover off of 1 glass. That started about the end of September. Back about 8 months ago, I could drink an entire bottle of wine BY MYSELF and have a buzz when I went to bed but be TOTALLY fine the next morning. The fact that I am tipsy off of 1 GLASS now, people have told me that that is a symptom of pregnancy. This would be my first pregnancy, but even with me not knowing what the body feels like when you are pregnant, I KNOW that I am. My mind is telling me I'm not but my body just won't let me think otherwise. And the fact that I watch that show "I didn't know I was pregnant" does NOT help ease my mind. I don't want to have a baby just slide out of me unexpectedly. PLEASE help me.

Obviously something is changing. Ask your regualr doctor for a check-up and list your signs without suggesting that pregnancy is the cause. Maybe you have a glandular problem or some other hormone disturbance. GL!

June may have been too early for a blood test. Go back and get another one, and maybe a scan. If it's still negative, you should probably get checked up anyway to find out what's causing such long delays with your period. It could be a hormonal imbalance. Good luck!
