Pregnancy symptoms but bfn!! Am I pregnant or just losing my mind!!!
Ok so I’m 26 and my husband and I have been TTC this cycle and AF is now two weeks late! For the last 3 weeks I have been having all sorts of pregnancy symptoms…nausea, metallic taste in mouth, headaches, extremely tired, have to go to the toilet more often and just the last week have had a heavy/stretching feeling in my uterus and my breasts get the tingling “milk let down” feeling. I have a young daughter so I know how it feels to be pregnant and I feel exactly the same as when I was pregnant with her. I also had a strange brown spotting 10 days before my period was due which turned heavier and pinky/red for 2 days and then went back to brown and very light for 5 days. I have a 38 day cycle and my periods are always on time and last for 5 days (being heavy for the first 2 days and light for 3 days) I have taken 4 HPT all negative and I even had a blood test 3 days ago which also came back negative! The only abnormality in my blood was my iron level was slightly low (which it was when I was pregnant with my daughter).
Is it possible I am pregnant? I have read that some people don’t get a positive on blood tests til they are 4 months along? My doctor won’t send me for an ultrasound, she just says to wait til AF comes and if it doesn’t she will give me hormone tablets to start it! I’m losing my mind! Has someone had a similar experience? If it’s not pregnancy what else could it be? Please help!!
If you havea longer cycle then it may take a little while longer for your two get a positive test. When I had my first, we weren't trying to get pg, but my period was slightly late and I had so many symptoms, but I never got a single +ve test. I even needed two blood tests to confirm it as the first one wasn't conclusie. I was close to 6 weeks pg before I had a confirmation of pg. I'm confused though as to why your Dr would rahter give you meds to speed up a bleed when she knows that you are actively trying to become pg. SHe should have ordered another blood test to give the HCG a chance to get high enough to detect.
Thanks guys. I don't have a regular doctor I just see whoever is available on the day. But I have seen 3 different doctors and they all rule out pregnancy because of the blood test. I'm just supposed to wait until AF comes but what if it doesn't and I am pregnant. Am I supposed to just wait and see if a baby pops out in about 8 months time?!!! So frustrating. I am going to see yet another doctor tomorrow so hopefully I can get some answers.
When you see the Doctor, TELL him you want a blood test! Don't wait for him to offer it to you. Having another blood test or a scan is the only way to confirm it if you aren't getting the +ve home tests.
How are your previous cycles? Is this your first cycle off the pill as it can take a while for AF to regulate itself of it is the case. There is also a possibility that you have pcos an are not ovulating. I would urge you to relax, it can take a healthy couple up to 12 months to conceive so there is no use getting so worked up about it so early
My cycles are very regular and last for 5 days. The only other time I have missed a period was when I was pregnant. I have been off the pill for over 2 years now.
I have just got back from the doctor (a new one) and he has referred me for an ultrasound! They can't fit me in though until the 28th. At least if my period still hasn't come by then I can maybe gets some answers from the ultrasound. My bloods came back normal except for my iron is slightly low (which it always has been) I started having some aching and pinching sensations around my ovaries yesterday afternoon so I can't wait to find out what's going on!
