I'm having a lot of symptoms, such as:
Exhaustion all the time. Breakouts. Stringy, falling out hair. Brittle, flaky nails. Irritability/mood swings. Hot flashes. Weird dreams. Gained 8 lbs within 3 months. Insomnia at night. Gas. Discharge. Increased acid production. Bad eye sight? (I just got a new prescription). Congestion/headaches. Back pain. Forgetfulness/inability to concentrate.Cramps/pulling feeling in lower abdomen. Leg flinches. Gagging on my toothbrush in the morning. Joint pain (usually in hands and knees). Skin tags. Twitching of the uterus. Cramps/twitching in my side.

A lot of people are telling me I am pregnant, however, I have had my periods on time (although significantly lighter- 2 days instead of 6). I tested back in July when I would have been 7 weeks, and got a positive. I immediately went to the doctors for followup and got a blood test and another urine test and both were negative, however, I'm not sure which TYPE of blood test they did... not sure if it matters. I was very surprised, so I waited a while and did 2 more HPTs with a different brand and they came out negative. Waited a while and did one more- negative. Then, once my symptoms didn't subside, I took another one about 2 weeks ago and it's still negative. I never had a miscarriage, I just figured it was a false positive or chemical pregnancy.

However, as time goes on, these really weird things keep happening to me. Some more than others. I don't have the whole "morning sickness and sore boobs" complaint. I don't know what being pregnant actually FEELS like... so I'm wondering, if I'm not pregnant, what could this be? Could I still be pregnant?
