Pregnancy Info HOME

Anyone know if your white blood cell count goes up with pregnancy? I went to the doctor because i have been nauseous, tired for the past 3 weeks. HPTs were negative. AF was 1 week late and lasted only 2 days. Doctor only did a urine pregnancy test. Had blood work done that's when she said my White Blood Count was high. I just feel pregnant. My b___sts are tender, growing, and recently i have noticed that my viens there are very noticable...Any suggestions?

hey out there, im goin nutz, im now 16 days late for my period, i took a blood test that was negative and 5 home pregnancy tests all negative, but i have all the symptoms, im so weak and tired, im sick to my stomach, my back is on fire and i pee all the time, I have sore b___bs and i know im pregnant . all the doctors are saying there aint no way, is it crazy for me to still think this?

Still no period. Saw the doc today. Still no physical exam. She wants me to go back on the pill for a month to induce a period so she can do a hormone test on day 3. :-(

Sandy- She wants you to go BACK on the pill, even though you think you may be pregnant? If I were you (and this is just MY opinion), I wouldn't do it. I wouldn't want to induce a period if I thought for one second that I could be pregnant. Did she discuss the consequences that could happen with this? I would advise against this if I were you, but then again, I'm not a doc. What are you going to do?

Mandy - The first thing I noticed before I was even found out I was pregnant with my first was a sudden revulsion toward the smell of cigarettes. I quit cold turkey one morning when the smell gave me a headache and it wasn't even hard, I never even craved another one. I would definitely recommend requesting a blood test from your doctor to put your mind at ease. I am in the same boat right now - only 10 days late and all negative tests. This worries me because it took me being 17 days late for my first to register on an HPT. From what I've been reading it isn't that abnormal for HCG levels to remain too low to read on an HPT test, even when you are VERY late. So hang in there, we are all going through hell here.

Hali - I was 20 days late for my period before an HPT would even slightly register a faint positive line for my first. Now I am in the same boat again - 10 days late and all negative tests, no symptoms just really tired from being so stressed out. I've read all over the place that even blood tests won't always pick it up much sooner so you could definitely still be pregnant. Good luck.

now 17 days late, no period, worst backaches now to where i can barley stand kinda like period ache except no period and my tummy hurts and im nauseated very much and im going CRAZY ..my hips are widening and my b___bs are larger and swollen and my achne is breaking out.........grrr

This is nuts- now 11 days late and still negative tests, no period. I'm going to scream! I can't do this anymore I just want to know. My back hurts and I feel like I'm going to explode into a period mess but it never comes. AHHH

I'm now 37 days late. I took a hpt yesterday morning, and they were both negative. (I took a first response and equate). I do NOT believe them. I KNOW I am pregnant. I just wish that a test would go ahead and confirm it for me. I don't have insurance at this moment, which means a blood test will cost me $175 out of pocket, up front. I will have insurance on me in the next 26 days. I have to wait for my probationairy period at work to be up. Why can't a test just go ahead and confirm what I already know? It would be much easier for my boyfriend. He wants me to be pregnant, he wants another kid. We have 3 kids collectively. I have a 5 year old son, and he has 2 daughters, 8 and 9. The kids don't know yet, and we don't want to tell them until it's confirmed. But I already know the answer. This is driving me crazy!!! I'm going to take another test or two over the weekend. Maybe SOMETHING will show up.

I'm going to wait on starting back on the pill. There's no harm waiting. I'm eating well and taking vitamins and not drinking. (I had a gla__s of wine on a couple of occasions after my negative blood test, but since I still haven't gotten my period, I stopped drinking again altogether.) I have an appiontment with a different doctor on 11/4. Maybe she'll be more responsive.

Now I'm really going insane. I just took my 20 millionth hpt and THIS time I swear there was the faintest pink line, where before there was nothing at all. Am I crazy? Obsessed? Probably, but I'll take another test on Sunday just in case.

hello again everyone. Today i had some more spotting and some painful period like cramps. Anyone have any ideas...I could really use some advice.

Ashley, I feel like screaming too! My periods are always regular Im now 10 days late, Ive never been late in my life, apprantly stress, weight gain etc can make you late but I havent had any of these (Well apart from all the stress im having now because of a late period!!!) Ive tired just chilling out and forgetting about it, but its always in the back of my mind that somethings wrong with me, plus I am having cramps like my period is about to start. I dont think im pregnant, have taken 3 tests which have been negative.

Hi! another update it is now been 9 weeks as of today since my last period. I took a hpt test last Tuesday. I went the doctor and she told me that it is normal for a new mom to be irregular. I have another appointment on nov 4th. I guess i'll update then.

Thats so exciting Mandy!!Just read your story, although mine is different,have 5 kids 24,22,20, 12,12..husband had vascetomy 4 yrs ago,am 46 yrs old..never miss periods, always regular,although 1.1/2 weeks late..help..menopuase???back cramps, swollen breats,stomach feels different,any one got an answetr

Claire- Yep I'm now 16 days late and still negative HPTs. The only reason I still think its possible is because for my first pregnancy it took around 20 days late for it to show up on an HPT. Grr it's the only thing I can think about, like it never, never leaves my mind. I'm crampy too - but you can get that when your pregnant too, I sure did for the first several weeks. AHH good luck
