Feeling pregnant

**Bumperstump Cummerbund** · November 10th, 2011, 07:38 AM

I feel SO pregnant at the moment. Yesterday I had the most vivid dream about being pregnant - when I woke up, I had to actually feel my stomach to double check that I wasn't!

Professor reckons it's because I haven't had a period in so long. My last one was brought on by Primolut....April I think? Absolutely ages ago. I wanna take a pregnancy test to prove to my mind that I'm not pregnant, but Professor thinks I'll get a false positive anyway, because my hormones are so high.

This is so freakin' weird, I can even feel my fake-baby move sometimes!

Has anyone else had this kinda thing?

I've never had that but it's understandable.

Test. You can't get a false positive from "hormones". The only hormone that will give you a positive is HCG, the pregnancy hormone. No other hormone will trigger the test.

I really, really hope and pray this is IT for you xxx

I've had false positives before N2L, I assumed it was the excess hormones. The blood tests ruled out the pregnancy sadly. I wonder what causes a false positive then?

**nothing2lose** · November 10th, 2011, 08:01 AM

I promise you the only thing that will cause a positive is HCG.

The only other explanations I can think of are -

1. It was an evaporation line (faulty test). This is common on cheaper blue dye tests. That's why I tend to only use FRERs.
2. There was HCG and it was a chemical pregnancy.

Do you know if the blood tests were qualitative or quantitative?

Hope this helps

Ps can you tell I have spent far too long researching hpts??

Hahahah, occupational hazard methinks

I can't remember the brand name I use, but they're not cheap ones, and they say PREGNANT or NOT PREGNANT.

What's a FRER?

I know one of the tests must've been quantitative, because he told me that I had a HCG of 12 which wasn't high enough to be a pregnancy.

That'd be right, we've given up on having kids and are just focusing on paying the bills!

Hahaha Forshelby! FWIW, they're not kicks, it's more pressure down below and a rolling around sensation. It's probably wind, lol

I would be peeing on every stick in the house like a madwoman, lol. FWIW I still get phantom kicks here and there. Now, go and POAS!

Protein in urine can give false positives.

Good luck!!!

I have just been reading everyones post and it just made me feel less insane. I have felt so different the last few months before af came along and thought it was because I was going to finally see the positive but I was wrong. I feel like my body and mind just want to torment me on a regular basis.
The up and down rollercoaster and pains and cramps my body is giving me doesn't help to be in the right mood for trying that's for sure.
Got married last friday and the honeymoon weekend was ovulation time so I am hoping that our relaxing weekend away as husband and wife has helped this month.
Fingers crossed and baby dust to you all.

Thanks ladies, but I'm not actually upset. I wanted to do the test before going on Primolut, coz I haven't had a period in something like 8 months. It would've been nice if there was a bubba there, but I knew it wasn't likely.

Thanks for stalking me though

**Maruschke** · November 11th, 2011, 05:40 PM

What is Primolut? Is that so you get a cycle happening again? FX hun!

**Bumperstump Cummerbund** · November 11th, 2011, 05:54 PM

I think it's progesterone? I take it 3 times a day for 10 days, and it'll force a bleed when I go off it. And speaking from experience, I'll have about 3 weeks of humungous bleeding, changing maternity pads every 20 minutes and bleeding through clothes and onto furniture. And just as I start to feel faint and concerned, I'll go to the hospital - at which point I'll stop bleeding completely.

Been there, done that
