Could it be...?

I wanted others opinions. I was about a week late for my period and just spotted for one day. I took a pg test the week after that and it came out -. I waited a couple days and took another and it still came out -. I'm have dizzyness, extreme fatigue, headaches, nausea, slight cramping, bloating, sore and swollen breasts and slight back aches. So having 2 - I went to my doctor today. She had me take a urine test, however I had gone before I got there and she told me just to do what I could. So it was just a bit of dribble. (sorry if too much info.) But she came back and said it's negative and she doesn't want to do a blood test because being 5 weeks it would show up by now. (however she also told me that most pregnant woman have a normal period the first two months...hmm..I think it's time to change doctors) And just FYI she said that she didn't know what my symptoms were from, so to say the least I don't totally trust her. Has anyone had - for a couple weeks past the 5th week? any other opinions? thank you!

I haven't but i ahve talked to alot of ppl that have, second a blood test would come up postive. And three'd for a doctor she is not very bright if she didn't know what the sypmtoms were from i'm going to say pregnancy cause they sound like you might be and i think you should go get a blood test but from a different doctor. Good luck

the doc is kinda weird if u ask me~

i didnt have ANY bleeding after i got pregnant w/ my daughter, except from some heavy lifting, and when i went into labor~ dont knwo what she's talking about!!

now, if you can call around and find a new ob, willing to do a blood test, i'd go for it~ but i'd almost wait a week longer, and test again, with a stronger test~ (here's a link about preg. tests) http://fertilityplus.org/faq/hpt.html

take the test 1st thing in the morn, and whatever it says, in a week, believe it- that would make you 6 weeks, the latest ppl usually find out about bein preggo~ that's the latest a pos test can show up, without having shown up before, if i'm remembering right (it could be 8 wks, not 6.. hmm...)

anyway, good luck!!
