Am I pregnant? Help!!!?

Question

Hi,

My last period was December 9th 2006 and now being January 22nd 2007 I am really worried. I have done 4 Home Pregnancy Tests and all negative.

Even though I have:

Really sore breasts (they've changed shape and got bigger)
Going to the toilet more often
bloated tummy
Sick feelings in the evening
Feeling hot
Mood swings (crying over silly adverts on telly, cartoons etc).
Slight brown spotting (tinged discharge(that I never usually have)

I went to my Doctors last week and he said to give it 2 weeks until I go back for a Blood Test. Even though this is now only next week I really want some advice and reassurance.

I already have a daughter who is 7 and we have been trying for about 2 years for another.

Has this ever happened to anyone else and if so were they pregnant or what was their problem. I have heard that some women just dont show positive results until they are further gone.

Please help as this is starting to annoy me with the not knowing.

Answer 1

Awwww, sweetie, it's gonna be fine. You very well may be pregnant. According to your symptoms, I would gather so. The only thing that concerns me (and not a lot) is the spotting, but many many women spot although they are pregnant. Go ahead and get a blood test done, I think that they are so much more accurate as they give levels of hcg which could tell the doctor so much. Relax, everything is going to be fine, Sweetie.

Answer 2

What u have done is a strip test using urine sample.This test for pregnancy should be performed 14 days following the missed period.You seem to have done it for more than once prior to this required 14 days.Possibilities for all those tests to come negative lies within.This test usually becomes positive 42 days after the last menstrual period.From the 9th of Dec till now it's been 44 days.If you haven't done one in the last couple of days,u may try once again.If even then the result is negative,there are other tests that can be done.You need not get all tensed about it.There are other more sensitive pregnancy tests available.Just give it one more try.

hi..
first i do wonder if your period is regular. if it is regular and you already done 4 home pregnancy test , i think that most likely u r not pregnant.
by calculations you would be 6 weeks by now, most if not all pregnancy kit would discover if ur pregnant by now.
i reccomend quantitative blood b-hcg test, if it shows a result more that 1500 (which is very unlikely since most home kit can detect it if more that 30) then u need an ultrasound test to document fetal viability.
but if the result is low (less than 2) then i am afraid that ur not pregnant.
lastly i would agree with ur physician , u need a blood test in a week or 2 to be sure, since in very rare occations , pregnancy may occure so late that it is immediatly befor ur next period so when u test pregnancy after the missed period u'll find it -ve.

Answer 4

Well, lets start off by saying you have the majority for the sytoptmys. Those home pergancy test isnt a 100% accurate, so basically the only thing you can do wait for the test to come back from your doctor. GOOD LUCK!!

Answer 5

are you under any amount of stress? Stress can affect the regularity of your period. If not, it sounds like you're pregnant. But wait for the blood test. That is the most accurate test you can take. Good Luck.

Answer 6

First of all stress can cause ALL of those symptoms. Second of all you may very well be pregnant. When my mom was pregnant with me the tests my mom took said she wasn't pregnant until 4 months into the pregnancy.

Answer 7

you could be but the only real way to find out is to wait that week and go in for the blood test goo luck

Answer 8

with my son I got 3 false negatives

Answer 9

not sure but I've heard that brown spotting is associated with miscarriage.

Answer 10
