Pregnancy Info HOME

I've been reading this thread since yesterday and finally decided to sign up! I am having the SAME situation occur. Back in November, my husband and I got married and we stopped using protection. I've gotten my period, like clockwork exactly when I am supposed to ever since then except for this month! I've never missed a period since I was 10 (and I'm 24 now!) Around Easter, when I was supposed to have my period..I had all the cla__sic PMS symptoms and the Friday before had a tiny bit of spotting--it was so little and so quick that only the very end of my tampon had a tiny spot of blood on it and then BAM..nothing. Now--I'm a girl who usually has such horrible periods that I have ridiculously heavy flow AND cramps that cause me to curl up for the entire first two days. So this was very odd and has never happened. I go about my business until Friday when I realized--wait a second..i never had a period. I checked my ovulation calendar which also tracks my periods for me rather accurately (based on previous doc_mented periods) and sure enough, April 2nd I was supposed to have my period. I know my body extremely well--I know I went through my ovulation, etc..I just never received my period. But I've also been experiencing all the signs of pregnancy (which I also know many correlate towards PMS) Exhaustion, sensitive/sore nipples, heavy b___sts, moody (I can cry at the drop of a hat recently and have! I cried reading my kindergarten students the end of a book!), odd hunger, mild cramps as if I could start my period at any time, even had milky white discharge--almost like lotion. Still no period though! And starting yesterday, I started to experience such bad nausea that my husband had to pull the car over because I threw my dinner up! Today..got sick and lost my lunch too. I have scheduled a doctor's appt for tomorrow because another complication has seemed to come into the mix--I either have a UTI or my peeing every five seconds is from pregnancy! Either way--all of these symptoms and a period MIA for 12 days isn't okay in my book and I want answers! SO--please cross your fingers, I would LOVE and I mean absolutely LOVE to be pregnant but if not--I just want some answers to all of this. I wish each one of you luck in your journey and I promise to update tomorrow after I get some answers, etc! :)

FORGOT TO MENTION! This might be helpful! My mother could never get a positive on a urine based pregnancy test either! She had to have a blood test done for both my brother and myself before she found out she was pregnant..and even then once a doctor tried to tell her she wasn't pregnant and sure enough..she WAS..with my brother! SO..don't lose hope!

Went to the doctor today--she had my blood drawn..she is having them test for pregnancy but also check my thyroid (T4 levels) and prolactin..she said prolactin is a hormone secreted when a woman b___st feeds but sometimes our brain turns it on and it can cause us to miss our period! She then handed me off a bag full of prenatal vitamin samples! Yay! Lets hope so :)

I am over two months late nd still getting negative results and it's getting frustrating. I get a blood pregnancy done tomorrow I am hoping I get a positive. Bby dust to all xxxx

I am almost 3 weeks late for my period (LMP was February 19 and now it's April 19th). I've taken at least 4-5 HPTs and they're all negative (even one at the doctor, she said I wasn't pregnant and it would have been positive by now, YEAH SURE). My boyfriend and I didn't have intercourse but we may have engaged in other activities that posed me at risk for a pregnancy. The problem is I can't remember exactly when these occurrences happened in my cycle and I'm not very good at keeping track of my cycles because generally I am abstinent and don't pay attention. I've had light brown spotting twice, once in early-mid March and once in early April. Other than that, no big signs of pregnancy other than the spotting. I became very anxious as the days went by and my period didn't show. Last weekend I noticed some clear cervical mucas in my underwear for two days (hoping that was a sign of ovulation) and now a week later my b___sts are getting sore (which is a usual symptom I get before my period). I hoping that I continue to get period symptoms and that my period comes by the end of the week. If I ovulated last weekend than that would make sense, because next weekend/end of the week would mark about 14 days (luteal phase). I really do not want to be pregnant and some of the women here on this message board have given me hope, that even if you're very very late for your period, you can still get it. Please Dear God, spare me this time!!!!

All the best Monique901. Update: Woke up on the 14th with a severe pain in my abdomen, by morning when I went to the washroom there was lots of blood and clotting. Flow lasted 3 days (normally 5 days). Now no more sore nipples and to be honest I feel normal. My mom is convinced I had a miscarriage. Good luck to everyone that is ttc.

Hi I'm 8 days late as of today. I've had bad cramping for about two weeks as well but today I took two pregnancy tests and they were both negative. Is it worth me going to the doctors to find out for sure or do I just accept that I'm probably not pregnant?

Well, I went to the doctor's around day 11 of my missed period and she just took another urine test and it came back negative. I've read some other posts and women have said that they're doctors recommend taking an HPT every week until you either get your period or are pregnant. Of course, if you want to know sooner you can go in to request a blood test, but even though seem to give false negatives sometimes. I know it sucks (because I am doing the same thing right now) but wait a week to test and then if you still don't have a result, then consult with your doctor.

You should definitely go to the doctor and see if you are pregnant because you don't want to go without prenatal care for too long because its not good.

Upadate: I went to the lab today and got a blood pregnancy test done and i get the results back in 48 hours. I will try to come back on here and share my results wtih you guys. Baby dust to all xxxxx

Hi All I thought i would offer you all some advice and hope, my partner and i were trying for 2 years, when i went to the Dr and was put on Clomid and on my second month of the pills i am now 12 weeks pregnant, my first signs were cramping and urinating lots, followed by very sore b___sts. I thought at first my cramping was a sign that AF was on her way but i waited and waited and no show, i left it 4 days and took a clearblue digi test and i was pregnant. The diffference in the cramping is that you feel it when you sneeze, laugh or even get up quickly it feels like a stretching sensation. I hope this helps and i hope all of you who are trying fall pregnant very soon. Lots of baby dust. Alison x

Alison So you are saying that when you are pregnant the cramps feel like a stretching sensation? Did you also have a white disharge milky like? Did you feel any fatigue? Please get back to me

Hi Monique The cramping was quite often at first but only lasted several seconds each time it was painful but not severe, i knew something wasnt quite right as i had never felt those sort of cramps but didnt want to get my hopes up. I hardly ever sleep in the day but i found after being out of the house for more than several hours i had to go home and sleep. I did also notice that i had quite large blue veins showing on my b___sts but still didnt think i was pregnant so i played the waiting game to see if AF showed as i didnt want to test too early and be given an inaccurate negative, i waited until 4 days late and then did the test. I didnt really have any mucus as first, when i was about 6 weeks each time after visiting the loo t_t was a little slimy (sorry if too much info) but that only lasted for about a day. Hope this helps. Alison x

I read on babymed.com that after 1 week of repeated negative pregnancy tests, that a woman's chance of actually being pregnant is 1%. I wonder if it is more often the case that women can detect pregnancy at 7 days pa__sed LMP than not. Usually I don't hear these cases because most of the forums are for people so frustrated because it's pa__sed 7 days and repeated tests are still negative. Like mine! In this case, I'm hoping that mine remain negative.

Thanks so much Alison that was really a big help for me. I don't want to get my hopes up or anything so I am preparing my self for the worse/ worse case sinario.I want to be pregnant so badly but i know there a chance the im not being though i kept getting negative results. I took one more chance finding out by getting a blood pregnancy test done which i get those results back tomorrow. Congrats you though!!

Update: I got my blood pregnancy results back this morning and it was a huge disapointment!! Once again negative results!! So i am not pregnant but its still leaves me wondering where my period is (?) Oh well i guess now i have to go get this CT Scan on my stomach so they can see why i am having these pains. Baby dust to all xx PS. I am not giving up my hopes and dreams i kno that one day i will see those two lines on the pregnancy test and i will be pregnant and happy!!
