I am having symptoms like feeling sick,tender breasts, horrible cramps, ect. but more importantly my "periods" have been odd. 1st i am blessed to typically have few symptoms during my period, maybe slight cramps and bloating. But the last two have been heavy on cramps and light on an acutal period usually they are heavy lately its been real light. i normally have lots of clots but there have been none. and it lasted like maybe two days. i took three tests and they all came up negative. took them more than a week apart. the worst thing is that i take the test and decide i'm just crazy only to have the symptoms presist. (i went online looking for reasons for the symptoms and kept coming up with pregnant.) I guess i need to go to the doctor. but don't have insurance- if i were pregnant i could get state medical help i know this but i currently just feel like i'm completely nuts. i'm not sure if it's important but my mom didn't know she was pregnant with me til she was like 5 months along.

Make an appointment with your OB/GYN and there they can order a blood test which detects the "pregnancy hormone" hCG.

Well you could be, many are for months without knowing it. They do have free clinics to go to for pregnancy like planned parenthood. Depending on your income you may be able to get aid/insurance for yourself. Which you should look into because if you are not pregnant you really need to go to the doctor. You may have scar tissue or a cyst which can give you symptoms like pregnancy. cysts can go away on their own, but bigger ones don't always and they can burst and there is also a chance it could be a tubal pregnancy and that you do not want to let go. the history of your mother also could be something you will inherit. i wish you all the luck, but please do not wait any longer to get looked at. it sounds as though you have already waited a few weeks. no insurance is scary because of the bill, but nothing is more important than your health. medical bills can be paid a little each month. i wish you so much luck.

I know it's tough to go to the doctor without insurance, but it's VERY important with your symptoms. It could also be a ovarian cyst. The symptoms can sometimes be confused for pregnancy. Either way, you need to be seen by a physician. Try looking for a free health clinic in your area.
Also, depending on your income level, you still may qualify for state health insurance. And it's usually retroactive, meaning they'll cover things from a couple months past. You can usually talk to someone at the clinic or at state services about your eligibility for this.

You are not nuts, you are worried and rightfully so. go to a pregnancy clinic and get a blood test. I had my period for four months while I was pregnant and had no clue until I felt a kick I thought was a tumor. I am the one who is nuts..LOL If you have to, go to a church and ask for help with the money. I sure do wish you the best, I will say a prayer for you right now. Best wishes...

History indicates that your hormones are going out-of-whack. the symptoms point to estrogen dominance or progesterone deficiency. This too causes heavy bleeding, clots, breast tenderness.
Take some natural progesterone cream. If you need ayurvedic remedy

and then search using keyword "hormone balance".
