Pregnancy Info HOME

Hi guys (I mean gals:)

I know what you're going through. I myself have been having many preggo symptoms, a very short,spotty, late period (if it was one), and negative urine tests (3 so far). My period is late again this month 4 days already. I had a much less convincing case of feeling pregnant one time before, only to be disappointed when I found I was not and annoyed by medical professionals who didn't seem to take me seriously. Scientists, after all, notoriously rely on evidence gleened from the 5 senses and not the feelings and knowledge of our bodies that we do as women. Yes, that time I was mistaken, but the point is most women in my place, given my symptoms, would've thought similarly-you girls are living proof. Just so you guys know, I have done alot of researching myself, both on the web and from books. It is not as oddballs as many doctors would have you believe to be pregnant and not be able to get a positive result, especially on urine tests. My own ob-gyn said she needed a blood test to confiirm her 7 week pregnancy. I have read more than one story in forums about women, even months pregnant, who could not get a positive result on even a blood test. Some women apparently are slower to produce hcg. The other thing you should know is that other things can give you what to us would seem like preggo symptoms: thyroid conditions, gastrointestinal probs, PMS, even age-related hormonal changes (including perimenopause). If I can, I'll give you guys web addresses in a different post. I should tell though that you have to read "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" I had heard reference to it on other sites and not paid much attention, but I recently bought it and found out alot of interesting info. Has anyone read it? Anyone have any thoughts on any of this?
