I am nearly three months late for my period. I have had a ton of pregnancy symptoms like morning sickness, mood swings, dizzyness, swelling of the breasts (they appear a lot firmer and the nipples are darker in colour and my stomach has got bigger but I haven't put weight on anywhere else. However when I did a pregnancy test it came back negative.
I did several tests before deciding I definetly was not pregnant and went to the doctors to see what was wrong with me. The doctor said it sounded like pregnancy and sent me for a urine test. The test came back negative (no suprise there) so when I went back to the doctor she refused to do anything else.
I am now confused although I am sure I am not pregnant I am concerned it could be a cyst or a eptopic pregnancy. However the doctor swears that a urine test is 100% accurate and even shows eptopic pregnancy as well.
I don't want to be a hypocondriac so feel stupid demanding tests etc. Has anyone else had a similar problem?

You need to find a new doc as you are having problems that the doc is not addressing. Even if you are not pregnant you are having problems like missed period, dizziness and mood swings etc that need to be checked out. Find a new doc if yours won't at least help you figure out what is going on.

If it was an ectopic pregnancy and you were 3 months on you would certainly know about it. They cause a great deal of pain and rarely, if ever, reach the 3 month stage. Late periods can be caused by dieting, being underweight, stress. Are you suffering from any of these? There is also the phantom pregnancy that can be caused if you desperately want a baby and have not conceived one. All the symptoms are the same as a normal pregnancy. I would make an appointment with a different doctor, if you can, and explain your worries. It sounds strange that your doctor is refusing to explore the possibilities any further. Do you have a history of making unnecessary appointments? It may be that require a different type of help from say a therapist, but your doctor should explain why she refuses to treat you any more so that you can understand where and what your problem really is. If you are unhappy about the way you have been treated by this doctor you can always ask for an appointment with the practice manager and tell him/her what has been happening. That is their job and I am sure they can find out what is happening for you.

i have a doctor who is pretty dismissive just as your's is and I know how frustrating it is and how bad it can make you feel. I would suggest seeing another doctor, or even maybe looking up on the internet or phonebook to see if there is any "well women" type clinics in yoru area. The fact you are getting morning sickness, dizziness etc should not be ignored as it means something is wrong, i am appauled at Doctors these days, it makes me so angry. You are not being a Hypocondriac, you are not well and it sounds like these symptoms are persisting. No test is 100% acuarate and even if you may not be pregnant perhaps there is another reason for your symptoms. Please see someone else that can help you. Best of luck x

i know its hard demanding tests from you dr but i reckon you need an ovary scan that would show any cysts or anything else.
tell your dr its really worrying you and your worryied about your health, remember drs are there to do there job like everyone else and there getting paid a hell of a lot of money for doing it.

Keep going back, it is your body and you feel something is not right.Are you wanting to be pregnant? If so it could be a phantom pregnancy. Another issue is your age, could you be menopausal?
