Pregnancy Info HOME

Brightmoon, i know this isent easy im grateful to have my 2 munchkins too but i would have loved to have anthony as well. I wish everyone the best.

Hi Everyone! I am new to the site and just read over all the forums, I am in a similar situation which is killing me to find out if I am pregnant or not. I have noever in my life had heart burn and now it is really severe, my mom sais it is from worrying so much about being pregnant. I also am tired more than normal, take frequent trip to the restroom, cramps in lower abdomen, pain under my b___st area (upper stomach area)tightening feeling, slight nausea only when I eat and I am getting really full quick...Which is not like me at all. I am 2 weeks late for my period and have tested one time using a Kroger brand in the evening time and it was negative. I guess some of the symptoms could be coming because I have been worrying about it this week but It just doesn't feel right...I hust feel so different and I know if I am not pregnant then something else maybe wrong with me............................SOme of you commented on having low thyroids being the case (hypothyroidism) has very similar effects of pregnancy and it can take multiple blood testings to find out if you have it. My aunt has it and some other family members and they had about 3 blood test before it showed up as having low thyroid function, If you read up on this online you will find this out, I found out from family who had it for years before detecting it. It is more common in ages 20-40...I don't want to scare anyone but I wanted to let you know this. I will buy another hpt in a couple days and see what the outcome is, and I will let everyone know...Has anyone else tested negative at 2 weeks late for a period and actually been pregnant??? ~Brandy :)

Oh! I forgot to mention that a majoriy of people with low thyroids skip their period for 3-4 months at a time and some people even skip periods all together. It is hard to be active with low thyroids because you stay tired and gain alot of wait, you swell easy and their are many more symptoms...If you think you may have it or if you have gained alot of unexplained weight gain have your thyroids checked out. You will need to have it checked out through blood work and 80% of the time it does not show up on the blood work the first time so you will have to get checked a couple (2-3) times at least if it is negative. But generally the other symptoms like nausea, b___st tenderness, constipation, heart burn, dizziness,etc indicate pregnancy symptoms and not low thyroid function. I get worried sometimes that I may have low thyrpids and have been tested 2x so far and negative both times. I have gained alot of weight a while back, I have sunken eyes which makes it hard to put on mascara and I have stretch marks where you normally wouldn't see them, and I have swollen joints and achy joints (hands, anckles, feet) and puffy cheeks. I wasn't going to say this but I have stretch marks that go down my legs, up my arms, on my whole back area, and on my stomach and b___tocks...The stretch marks are bright red and noticle on my arms when I wear a shirt...I gained 60 lbs in 2 months and I went from a ring size 5 to a size 9 because my fingers are so swollen...I have been through multiple tests and I don't know what is wrong with me but I do know that something is...I also have had very irregualar periods. This is not the first time my period has been late but it is the first time I have experienced pregnancy symptoms. I wish everyone best of luck on ttc and baby dust to all who wants it. ~Brandy :)

I'm also in the same boat! I had 4 negative HPTs when period was 3, 4, 5 & 6 days late. I had 3 days of bleeding (1day like period, 2days not) BEFORE period was due, then no bleeding. Could this have been implantation bleeding? - would have been 10-12DPO if I ovulated. I was on the pill, but am not the best at taking it - missed1 and loads were 12hours+ late. So I'm feeling pg - period is now 1w2d late and I'm gonna try to wait a few days before taking another test/going to the doctor. Normally, when I stop the pill for my 1week break, I bleed until I start taking it again, but I've had no bleeding during the week and 2 days that I've been off it - I normally bleed too much! I would be 5w3d pg now if I am. Good luck!!

Hiya ladies,I am too getting the symptoms of pregnancy,got the iud fitted and never had a problem at all until september when my period was due i only spotted.I have had 4tests and bllod test and thyroid test which are all negative.I am swelling in the pelvic area as you do when your pregnant and im so confused.The docter is adamant that i am not but i know my body and i cant enjoy pregnancy if im not pregnant.Ive been told to wait another few weeks.I also had bleeding last week bright red but usually i have pmt but last bleed nothing no pain.What can i do?

Kecia, How did your u/s go yesterday? Did they find anything?

well i did get my u/s yesterday. but she wouldn't tell me anything except hold your breath i guess to get a better picture. i couldn't see what i was looking one screen to me look like a head, but it was hard for me to tell. she took a pictures of something and measured somethings and listened to something it was very weird to me. she did ask me after she finished have i ever been pregnant before and i wondered why she asked me that and she kind of smiled and said we will send our findings to your doctor in 2 to 3 business days which means i won't hear anything until next week or the week after with my doctors office. this is my last resort here. all my other tests were neg. thyroids, blood work to check see if i have a tumor because i am producing milk as well. they checked my plactin levels but according to them non-pregnant is starting from 3.0, pregnant is 10.0 and peri-menopause is 12.0, my levels were 9.8 and still producing i squeeze drops of it out. which they sometimes can happen when stimulating. my b___sts have been stimulating for almost 12 years and this has never happened and if it did i think me or my husband would have noticed it i think. i guess now it is just a waiting game for me now. how is everyone else fairing. gia i seen those pictures you look like i do now. right now i would be about 17 weeks.

Well that good be good news kecia, just so you know you have the right to ask the place where you got your u/s done to give you copies of your u/s. This way you can stare at then yourself just till the dr cals you with your results lol. I wish you the best,

when you miscarry you will know it, big time, you will cramp like never before, almost like someone is pulling out our insides, that is how it was for me, the feeling that something is realy wrong will let you knowl=

now can i ask a question. what i did see was something round in which she took measurements. now in all the health books i read i don't think we have anything in our bodies that is round do we? i thought about that all night even asked my husband about that. i have seen my daughter's u/s pictures and the only thing i got a picture was her head and it was round as well. does anybody have any suggestions as to what it could be in our bodies that could be round in our abdomen. i tried to think but couldn't really come up with anything. need help on that one or any ideas.

kecia, well, the only thing that I can think about that could be round is your ovaries. But, to tell you the truth, I think that you may really be pregnant and that the technician just didn't want to be the one to tell you. Sometime they won't tell you anything but you do have the right to ask what they find in YOUR body. Hope you get answers soon. Call doctors on Monday and pester them for results. And Gia is correct, you can get a copy of your U/S.

I still feel pregnant. I wonder what the heck is up with me. My b___sts are tingling like crazy like when they are getting ready to lactate, I am having cravings, my tummy is still big, I feel sick every morning and sometines during the day, certain smells and tastes are bothering me, my b___sts are getting bigger and firmer (my fiance totally noticed this one-lol). What the heck does that sound like to you all? Pregnant? I think so.

I gotta say kecia, it sounds like you might be p/g and unless the pregnancy was stated by your dr at the time of your u/s, the tech wont tell you anything, and as far as getting your results, i know cause i did that back in july. Brightmoon, my b___sts have been killing me lately and they never bother me not even when i get my period. Just another day in this confusing journey huh ladies.

Keely.....my partner and I are going through that exact same thing...it's so frustrating. We even had a negative blood test recently and her abdomen is really bloated and growing.

Gia, yeah my b___sts have been extremely sensitive lately also. My daughter, who has been off b___stfeedings for almost 6 months now has been trying to lift up my shirt and saying "milk" (does she smell something?). I am just so confused. If they have found not baby, why do I keep feeling and looking pregnant. I still feel flutters in my stomach also. Just another day in the mist of this perplexing situation, huh ladies?!

Kecia any news yet? I feel pregnant all the symptoms for almost 2 weeks also for the past 3 days (my period due then) Ive had a little pink when i wipe only once a day, dont even need a pad, am now 2 days late have done lots of tests all neg!!! Ive also had a feeling that i need to poo all the time and i am more than usual? Does anyone else have this? Im getting myself into a real state thinking it might be early menopause!! HELP!!
