I was wondering...are hpts and blood test very accurate? Also can they determine pregnancy by doing a pelvic exam?
The reason I am asking is because I have had 3 hpts and 1 blood test and they were all negative.. but my last normal period was on the 5th of Nov.... Ive been waiting and waiting to see if my body would go thru any changes and it has.. but it can all be in my mind because I am more aware since my period hasnt come.. I went to the doctor because I wanted them to do a pelvic exam in order to see if they could see any changes in my uterus... but she didnt give me one she just took more blood and run more test... I dont want more test.. I want an internal exam so that can see that shit for themselves.. so they can tell me if Im pregnant or if Im miscarrying... I need to know something... Im really growing impatient and Im about just give up hope... Is there anyone who can give me a little advice?

Hi there! My last "normal" period was in November as well. I haven't had a blood test yet, but I went to the doctor this morning and (strangely) the doctor did a urine pregnancy test. It came back negative. However, the doctor did do a pelvic because of all of my symptoms of pregnancy. He discovered that my uterus WAS englarged, and I have an ultrasound scheduled for tomorrow to see what's going on. I'm a little suprised that they did not do a pelvic on you. They did one on me even though I've had two urine tests come back negative.

HI, i am in the same boat as the two of u. My last period was Nov 9th and I have had two blood tests and many hps all neg...So i just thought i wasn't. I went in for a pelvic exam and the doctor told me that my uterus was enlarged. She said that there were only a couple of reasons it could be enlarged and being pregant is the most obvious. I have a ultrasound sched. for tue the 8th, i am nervous having to wait a week. Let me know how you two come out..Lynne lets us know about the ultrasound tommorow!! good luck

Tee: I've been in your shoes, which is the exact reason why I haven't gone to the doctor's yet. The incompetence is beyond baffling, isn't it?!
I've begged an OBGYN in one of my last pregnancies (that ended in miscarriage) for help, and she didn't absolutely SH*T. It ended up in a miscarriage.
You need to get another OBGYN, preferrably one with a midwife on staff. A lot of doctors that I've encountered (and I've seen around four or five in the past year) simply don't care. And only you know your body. Advocate for yourself!!! I know you're tired, but keep pressing on.
I too haven't had a period since late November and I swear the only reason why I haven't seen a doctor is because I'm so afraid I'll go ballistic if I encounter another fool.

Its pretty hard to tell if you are pregnant without a confirmed preg test. I feel sick sometimes if I'm late and have the same symptoms as pregnancy. Sometimes I could have sworn I was pregnant when I was not. I've had 5 babies and now am 42 years old and I am having pregnancy symptoms again...but the preg test was neg.(ladies first remember to stay calm, stress does do alot to your body.) I've went through 3 to 4 mths before with no peroids and the doctors have said, nothing was wrong...only stress. Hang in there and don't always think of the bad things that could be wrong(cause I know you do ;) ) See a doctor and take care of yourself but above all....stay calm and relax. God bless.
