Is this pregnancy?

Hi -- I'm new to the board, but am looking for some thoughts on the chances of my being pregnant... My last period was 8/21/03, but my cycle is fairly irregular -- In the 5 months since I've been off the pill, the length has varied from 30-39 days. At any rate, I have not had any of the normal signs that my period is coming... Instead, I have been very nauseated, peeing a ton, smelling things from a mile away, experiencing food aversions and appetite changes, having some breast soreness, and am quite tired (have been getting into bed within an hour of getting home from work). Some days it seems like I'm having increased vaginal discharge, but it's never even had a hint of blood, and I have actually lost a couple of pounds. Although my husband and I were not actively TRYING to get pregnant, we are very excited at the prospect and have not exactly been vigilent on the birth control issue. Anyway, all this has led me to believe that I am in fact pregnant, BUT I have now had 2 negative pregnancy tests. The first was on day #43, so I thought maybe it was too early. I repeated it on day #48, but it was still negative. The other thing that kind-of threw me was that the nausea disappeared for a few days over the weekend. It has now returned, but to a much lesser degree. Does that mean anything?? I just can't knock the thought that I am pregnant since I've been feeling so strange, but what is the meaning of negative tests?... Any thoughts? Thanks!!!

Wow, I can see why your confused/frustrated. Could you put in a call to your OB/GYN? That's the only thing I can think of to find out for sure. HTH, Beth
