Pregnancy Info HOME

Jst an undate folks, was at the docs and she took a urine test and send it to lab as HPTs dnt work for a samll precentage of women dnt find out my results to fri. She said i defo sound pregnant due to the symptoms im having as they are all pregnancy related :) so fingers crossed

hello vfab, i kind of have the same problem actually. i became pregnant this january and lost my baby in feb. i have no idea since i ovulated since then. my period only came after i took the after-morning pill. my last period was on 14th june and now i have no period. i've been having unprotected s_x since late June. and after i took off the birth control pill last august, i didn't ovulate in september because i didn't have my period that month. then in october, my period came but no period in nov, dec 09 again...until i found out that i was pregnant this january. i guess it's just frustrating because i wanted to take off birth control to regulate my system again and apparently it didn't work out. does it mean i have to go back to birth control for more uncertainties in the future? i also feel really silly to take folic acid now (because we're trying) because i have no idea when i ovulate and i can't track my system at all. i'm really jealous of ladies who have regular cycle sometimes.

I am a week and 2 days late. My period was supposed to be here the 11th of the month and the latest I have ever been was 40 days. I took a pregnancy test today and it was a negative. Im just wondering how long should I wait to test. I do have irregular periods but I also keep track of them so I know I'm well past the mark of when it should have come

I havnt had a period in 7 weeks but have taken 3 pregnancy tests.. Whats going on, please help!!

Hello, like many of your posts I am also almost a week late and am having negative pregnancy tests. I have been ttc for 6 months and skipped a period once (due to stress I think) and am wondering if this is about to be my second skipped period. I am also wondering if I could be pregnant? My cycles are somewhat regular but I have spotting for a few days before my regular flow - I just want to know if this is normal? is something wrong? am I pregnant and the hcg levels just havent shown up? Should I go to the doctor? Let me know what y'all think - it would be nice to know if there are some shared experiences out there!!

Wow the original post was in 2005 from Mandy, wondering how she doing now and how is the baby? Reading your story mine is pretty similar. Reading the hardship with your Dr is just like if I wrote those comments just your name is different. Anyhow, my story is here. I am 41 years old so I am contributing most of my problems to menopause, although noone confirmed it is or not. I never ever missed a period in my life except once when I was pregnant and had a spontaneous miscarriage when I was very young. Never missed since. My last period was February 21 2011. I am 21 days late on my period. I have a lot of pregnancy symptomes, from bad nausea, to exhaustion, to frequent bathroom visit to urinate, feeling fluttering movement in right side middle and lower and upper part thinking is gas as I feel bloated. My old pants are not coming up and if you look at my belly looks like I am showing. I feel sick and today only first time I felt my b___st feeling heavy like if my period is coming but no period. I had home pregnancy test March 31 negative, April 10 both negative. Last Friday had urine test in family drs office negative. I am not tryng to get pregnant but it is possible to be as I am not using any protection. My family dr kind of treated me as a mental case and put me on depression pill when I am not depressed if I am at all from the fact that noone seems to listen. She said the gain weight is contributed of the water retention she thinks my belly is all water. Bloodpressure was very high put me on blood pressure pill but I am not taking them as both I checked are not advisable if you are infact pregnant. I am feeling sick to my stomach when I cook not actually throwing up but sick. Anyone thinks I have a slight hope of a pregnancy or it is all in my head? I do feel different and sick as a dog :( Any input welcomed and Mandy update us how you are today :)

I am in the same boat totalconfused, I have all the symptoms and not period for weeks and negative tests, off to the docs tonight so hopefully will see what happens. Its driving me mad though and if its something else then would rather know but my tummys much bigger and feels bloated, my jeans are tight and its all at the front, I have not put on weight anywhere else

Hi Nataliejane, I hope you get answers to your question at your Dr. I have given up hope and decided to wait a week or two before I test again and if is still negative and I still feel unwell I will go to the hospital. Keep updating what happens and I will do the same.

Well went to the doctors last night and he was a total a***, he wouldn't do a internal exam (he made it quite clear he was uncomfortable doing it) and said he would send me for blood tests and then I could see his wife the other doctor in 2 weeks, he said well I don't really think your pregnant and said its probably hormones and said the nausea is probably down to a stomach bug!! I am pretty furious, he made me feel stupid and it was blatant he wanted to go home for his tea as I was the last appointment. My other half said well just keep taking folic acid and your vitamins and we'll carry on as if you are. I am sure the doc didn't believe me, well he should have been there when I had my head down the loo at 6.30 this morning! I am pretty angry with the doctor, he was a buffoon!

Just an update, I found out that I have very low vitamin levels which could cause the symptoms similar to pregnancy. The flattering movements I feel is caused by either gas, or low iron level low pota__sium and low B12. I also had one day light bleeding. Still feel sick and symptoms continuing. Last test was still negative. Gained 7 pounds and still feel something is not right :( I am sorry Nataliejane that you had a bad Drs visit. I feel the same frustrated I do feel something is not right with me. Started to take vitamins and will report if I do feel different. Thanks for the update and hang in there.

Well today I have had banging headaches and my nipples feel tingly as anything, been to the loo about 12 times already. Had my blood test done but if this comes back negative I have no idea. Am absolutely shattered and nearly nodded off at my desk today !

I read a booklet but we cannot post the link. Was very interesting. Basically it says that at 7 weeks after missed period, it can still be that the HCG is not detectable by HPT in some women who have a low value in their urine. Also it has to be the first morning urine for test as late on the day the HCG sometimes not shows. Also read it somewhere that there are pregnant women who never tested postive till they were in 3 to 4 months of pregnancy. So there is hope trust your body and keep testing. Make sure if they do the blood test it is quant_tave Beta HCG or else the other type is same as the HPT. The quant_tav will measure any HCG even if is zero or one they tell you the exact number. If you have a test for the other qualitative is just measures over 25 mul which is the same as HPT. Good luck and keep as posted.

I am in the same boat ladies...im almost 2 weeks late. I have NEVER been late. I have taken 2 HPT, all which were negative. And I went to the doctor 3 days ago and the blood test came back negative as well. After reading everyones story, Im pretty convinced the blood test could be wrong..maybe i went in a little to early. Cause I believe Im only 2 weeks pregnant. I have some symptoms...Im exhausted ALL the time..some foods I smell make me quizy...I get random ma__sive headaches, sometimes i feel really sick to my stomach like I have to throw up...I pee around the clock. My b___bs arent sore tho, which i hear is key. I just FEEL pregnant...its that feeling. I have ma__sive cramping here and there like I am about to get my period..I just wish I had some answers..i guess its a waiting game now...:/

Its wrong...It says im 7 weeks into my pregnancy also which is completly false. I believe I got pregnant a few days before i was supposed to get my period which was april 4th...so im only a couple weeks pregnant..which maybe be to early to detect on any sort of pregnancy test. Time will tell I guess, doctors telling me if i dont get it by may 4th, then come back in for another test.

Dancinagel, Those calculators are counting it from the first day of your last cycle. Of course you cannot be that far but Drs do count your expected due date from that day even though your date of intercourse was two weeks or more later. So count down 2 weeks from that or whatever time you think you conceived, but the dr still will say you seven weeks even if you only few weeks pregnant. Not sure why they do that. It is all depends on when you ovulated which is about 2 weeks from the time you had your last period. Some women even ovulate later. That is what causing the home test turn negative when you indeed pregnant. They say you should be 7 weeks when indeed you can be just four weeks or five. If you not conceived on the date that all Drs count the day then the timing of counting the pregnancy is off. When you go to the dr if you get pregnant they will still date your pregnancy from the first day of your last period. :( I knew my first pregnancy date exactly what they happened they still dated it back to the last normal period :(

Yes that is too early yet to detect I think you need to wait at least 2 more weeks.
