I missed my period for two months (it's always irregular but never had been for so long!)..I took 3 tests a month after..and they came out negative...then I started to feel upset & tired..so I decide to visit my Doctor and he put his finger inside of me and he press my belly...I mean how accurate is that method???...I've heard about ultrasounds and blood test but never that method....My belly looks abit big..if I am preg I'm about 9 weeks....I just wana know if anyone had their doctor to this to them to check for pregnancy?

Yes. It's called in internal exam. Which is different than a PAP. That was totally normal. If my doctor doesn't do a PAP on me than i have to have an internal. See, they do that because when your pregnant, your uterus and cervix feels different. They have the skills and the knowledge to distinguish the difference. That was normal. They did that to see how your cervix and uterus felt.

when you went to the doctor he or she should have told you yes or no!!!When i went to the doctor after the fact i was pregnant she did stick her fingers inside and press on my stomach but usually they do that when you have a pap smear done too to check out your ovary's.If you are not pregnant that's probably what they were checking for.Now the boobs leaking white stuff i am not sure about i know i am 30 weeks and this will my 2nd baby and i didn't have stuff coming out until i was about 35 weeks and it is called COLOSTRUM its pre milk that produces for the baby...

well surprisingly it is accurate, I mean he is a DR. but why don't u go to the ER cuz they will do a blood and urine test which will be more accurate and they will most likely do an ultrasound too.
I don't think u'r stomach is getting big cuz u'r pregnant cuz it doesn't grow sooo fast but it could be suz u'r missing u'r period.
Best of luck

What he was doing was checking for a Fundal Height (aka if your womb was bigger than it normally would be) and he was checking your cervix for length. Your cervix closes and gets longer during pregnancy. You didn't mention whether you gave a urine or blood sample to him, he can determine whether or not you are pregnant that way.

Yes the Dr can detect pregnancy this way. Wuth my last one as soon as he checked me he said "yep, you're pregnant". I'm sure you will have blood work and other tests soon.

He was probably schecking to see if your uterus was enlarged. If so that means a baby if not no baby. I would think he would de some otehr tests though to make sure.
