Am i being played?

[~shazz~]

does this doctor have his own practise ??? cause when i googled his name he came up as a doctor of emergency medicine in a hospital. ( i didn't think they class having a pregnancy confirmed as a emergency )

Oh, Shaz, go the research!!!!!

I have been lurking waiting for another update from Josh.. i wonder how things are going? I am hooked to this story now i want to know whats happening!!

[Maybe_played]

ok guys a little update:

got a text from Mel saying "gimme a call when u knock off work i got some results for you" so i gave her a call where she sounded really upset and after some coaxing i got from her that she went to the doctors today and they said that shes pregnant.

anyway yesterday i asked her to organise a letter from the doctor to be available for me to pick up from the clinic, and today she said she had such letter but they refused to keep it at the practise (i'd have thought if they didnt keep it there, they'd mail it out) anyway she said that she possessed the letter.

so i high-tailed it to her place after work to receive this letter... a block from her place i found mel was walking so i pulled over she hopped in the car. she was very upset and crying and she said that the mother had ripped up this letter...

she handed me a bunch of torn paper so i went thru it and i was able to decipher her name and address and 'Serum hCG" and on the back of one of the bits of paper was written 'positive'.

so anyway i took mel back to her place to find out why her mother torn up this paper. mel and her mum nearly had a punch on, and i grabbed mel and got her to calm down which resulted in her running away throwing her sunnies on the concrete and declaring her hate for her mother...

so i talked to her mum and discovered that at the doctors they did a urine test which the doctor reported as 'inconclusive' and ordered a 'serum hCG blood test'.

so after my very long winded story, my summary is:
-the docs pee test was inconclusive
-there was a blood test ordered, but mel chickened out (scared of needle lol)
-her mum ripped up the pathology request for the blood test (didnt really get a reason for that)
-i have no idea why 'positive' was written on the back of the pathology request form. a doctor wouldnt record any test result on such a form i imagine.
-mel still thinks shes pregnant, and i've done my best to encourage her to get this blood test as it's very important.

so i'm still hanging in limbo here... but all i can do is wait.. hopefully she gets a duplicate tomorrow.
i said that i would go with her to the pathology for the blood test to help her. (lol i told her to not even look at the needle... just close eyes!)

Sincerely,
Josh

Hmmm... well, I had a positive HPT, then I got a neg HPT at the Dr's, then another 2 postives HPT's at home, then a neg at the hospital, but my hCG levels kept increasing, so it looked as though I was pregnant... in the end I miscarried, but it was after loads of BT's and ultrasounds. So perhaps she is going through something similar... but the fake HPT's were a bit bizarre.
I hope everything is going to turn out ok.

So was her mum in the room with her in the doctor's surgery and is she confirming what Mel said?

Stating the obvious, I think you just have to get her to do the blood test even if it means frogmarching her down to the pathology place.

You really need to get her to get the blood test done so you know for sure...as everything is just he says, she says atm! im sure if you or her phone the doctor & tell them the pathology request was misplaced & lost they would gladly write you out another one!

I think you need to get it worked out asap to save both you & your ex the stress of it all..if she is pregnant (not that i am saying she is) the stress wouldnt be helping the baby at all!

maybe get a digital pregnancy test if she doesnt want to go get the bloodtest (as you cant force her to) as these are usually (IMO) fairly accurate & very easy to read! then take it from there

Good luck

This really is an awful situation. If she is indeed pregnant (which I don't think she is), why the hell would she be drinking, knowing it could hurt her child?

And, if she's three months pregnant, she'd have a little pot belly by now too! Has she had any other symptoms? Has she had any morning sickness (BTW - just a name, sickness occurs any time of day or night). When I was pregnant, I couldn't stomach toast, nevermind drinking alcohol!!!

Josh - I feel so bad for you. What a terrible thing to put a person through, especially if it's all a lie.

[StrawberryMumma]

Oh Josh, far out, what a stressful situation!

Surely she's not pregnant, but maybe she has really convinced herself that she is.

If she missed a period in March (I think that's what you have said) then you would think that even a doctors wee test would show a good strong positive. If you guys haven't been DTD since March then I bet she has been off with other fellas trying to get UTD.

Hope you're able to sort this out soon.
