I would like to know if anyone has ever or has been experiencing true signs/sypmtoms of pregnancy and ended up NOT being pregnant?

I'm with you. My AF is 13 days late and I've had 5 BFN HPT's and 1 BFN blood test. I have the nausea, exhaustion, sore bb's, ewcm, and temps. I'm beginning to think I'm just crazy. Best wishes and baby dust.

Hi sara b. I am not quite in your boat just yet. My af is not due until Sunday or Monday, I have gotten a negative HPT, but since I am a late ovulator, I think it was way too early to test. But I feel some strange "activity" in my lower abdomen/uterus area. I've been pregnant before (unfortuantely had a miscarriage) and the beginning stage felt just like this. It's not painful, no spotting or bleeding, not really uncomfortable, it's just a weird pulling kind of feeling. I wish I had words.....it's just....ugh, I don't know, something is happening in there. But I think maybe because I want this so badly, my head is producing this feeling in my abdomen?? I can't think of what else it could be. I have not checked my temperature, I'm not exhausted or nauseous. Although, with the first pregnancy I was not nauseous then either. A little tired maybe, but not exhausted. I would like to know if there are women out there, who maybe convinced themselves of pregnancy when it just was not the case?

Frankschick- I wonder the same thing about myself often. Its called Placebo... You want to be, thus you are... Im not sure about it being placebo "this" time, cause my symptoms are so strong and consistant. They wake me up in the middle of the night and even keep me awake at times. I took a test yest. But, I also think it was too early. CD25... Will take another tom (if i can hold off) Good luck and baby dust to us all!

Roxy-yesterday was cycle day 26 for me, and yes, I think I tested too early. Especially since I didn't ovulate until cd18! We had intercourse about a day before I got a positive on the ovulation predictor kit test, then we did it again the day a positive showed up and then again the next day. I am just hoping that was enough to conceive. Actually I am sure it was enough, I just don't know if we succeeded in our efforts. It's so hard not to test every day! I want to test again tonight, but after last night's dissapointing BFN, I promised that I would wait until I was officially "late". Plus, these tests are too expensive to just go testing all willy-nilly!!!! But I still have strange "activity" in my lower abdomen.

I know what you mean by strange activity. I keep getting cramps (never have cramps with AF) and gas bubbles. My temp. is running around 99*F. I also have been pg twice before and felt the same with my first. If nothing happens by the end of the month I'm going to go to the ER and complain of uterine pain to get an u/s since my Dr. won't do one thanks to the BFN on the BT. Best wishes.

Uh...yeah. Like every month for six months! Pregnancy symptoms are the same as AF symptoms, it really is hard to tell the difference. I thought I was pregnant every month when we were trying and then AF would show up. The month I got pregnant, I had NO symptoms!

Hi again everyone! I still feel the same sensations in the uterus area. At night before I go to bed and in the morning, I don't really have it, but then as I start moving around, the sensation comes back. Today is cd 28 for me. No af yet. But my cycle is generally about 30 days, so I will probably test again over the weekend if af doesn't show up. My boyfriend (doesn't want to get his hopes up) keeps telling me that this sensation is probably "all in my head" But I know he is hoping for exaclty what I am hoping for. After the miscarriage though, it is very hard to predict anything that is going on inside of my body, and it sometimes takes a while for cycles to get back to normal, so even if I am late it may not mean that I am pregnant, but I am praying and at night, I also include this line in my prayers for all of you too "please let all of the women on the forum who want a baby be blessed this month"

Hello I feel as I am experiencing symptoms and I have tested and they have been negetive. I hate the way I feel because if Im not pregnent I just wish I could get my period because I dont want to feel this way anymore I have been like this for 2 weeks. Headaches, bloaty, missed period, naseaus, sore b___bs and my lower abdomen feel like fluttering or kind of like twitches. I am so scared there is something wrong with me!!

This happened to me. At the end of Nov 2005 I started getting symptoms a week before AF was due. AF never came the day it was supposed to so I tested and got bfn. As the week went on symptoms got worse, b___bs got veins and really sore, nausea, heartburn, dizzy, you name it. Went to dr got another urine test still bfn. He sent me for a blood test and it came back neg so he told me to wait a week and call him if I still didn't get AF. So another week later still had symptoms so went back to dr and he sent me for another blood test but this time the better one and it came back neg too. By this time af was almost 3 weeks late. After the 2nd blood test I tried to make myself believe that I wasn't pregnant and tried to get my mind off it. Then what do you know a few days later af came 3 weeks and 2 days late. I am really confused as to why that happened with all the symptoms, it really freaked me out that my body could do that and not be pregnant!!! The scary thing is that it is happening again this month after ttc over the new year. I am due for af jan 16 and my b___bs are already huge and veiny. I just hope this isn't happening again.

LauraB, I am also expecting af Jan. 16th. My b___bs do not hurt though. But in my last pregnancy, they didn't hurt either. I ended up having a miscarriage at 8 weeks. I wonder if the absence of b___st pain was an indication that all was not right with the pregnancy from the start? Any thoughts?

well, i'm 2 weeks late today. Am getting nauseauted each pa__sing day..but really don't have a ton of 'symptoms' you know? at www.twoweekwait.com they have real 'women' that post their symptoms. I seem to fit in with themm....ANYWAY my point is that, i think if one is ttc and they are late, then get period..that there was a pregnancy starting to happen, early pregnancy loss. I know its not 'fact' but i like to think that was what happened a few months ago, and right now...i want it to be true, but so far the hpts have been BFNs i have Dr. appt. on Wed. So hopefully if AF hasn't come, can get a blood test done!

 

lizardgrl - January 13

hate that PMS and Pregnancy have similar symptoms... just let us get the AF or a BFP!! (can you tell i'm frustrated?)

2 days late and still no af. I am worried that this is happening all over again. I can't go through that again with my body thinking i am pregnant and really I am not. Has this happened to anyone else?

 

frankschick2001 - January 17

It's Jan 17th, no period yet. But I am only a day late so I am not going to test just yet. Still the same pelvic sensations, some minor back pain. But no other symptoms. I read that ovarian cysts have the smae symptoms as early pregnancy, so I am wondering if maybe that is what I am feeling????

 

Laurab - January 25

So 9 days late and bfn's. I think this is happening all over again. Has this been happening to anyone else? I am going to see my dr on the 30th to get help.

 

Laurab - January 26

Help! Is anyone going through the same thing????
