If Not Pregnant Then What Is Wrong?

Hello Everyone,

As a follow up to my previous post, I would like to say that I have still not started my period for this month. We tested at 1 week but it came out negative; we will test again later during the week.

The past couple of days my friends have been trying to be very helpful. If I'm not pregnant then what could be the problem. Someone suggested I might have high blood pressure (which I have never had in my life); someone else suggested fibroids or perimenopause or even cancer.

Like I said, before all the "help" I was fine. Now I am nervous. So I just wanted to throw this question out there to anyone who might be able to shed some light on this. What other ailments would cause symptoms similar to pregnancy?

I had been feeling all week & probably a bit prior, that I was about to start my period. Nothing was out of the ordinary in how I was feeling. PMS is something I have. Well, the period never came. I have felt so bloated, fatigued, at some points nauseous, heavy (which is a hard one to explain - I just feel, well, heavy). I am in no pain, just uncomfortable from the bloatedness. No unusual discharge or smells.

So if anyone has any suggestions, I would love to hear them. I plan on making an appointment with my obgyn regardless of what the next p-test indicates. I just want to know whats going on in my body. If its pregnancy, then I want to get on my vitamins; if not, I want to "fix" what may be wrong.

Thank you for listening to me. I love my friends but I think they may have made me more nervous than I was the other day.

Awww honey...I have no idea what could be going on, but I hope you find a resolution soon. When do you plan on testing again?

I am right here with you! Period due the 15th but got a BFN when tested. I did start vits. just incase I "O"ed late. Since I am trying to get pg I figure the vits will not hurt to take either way. Best of luck to you....

We are looking at re-testing on Thursday morning. Its a little nerve-wracking to say the least, all this waiting around for an answer. We wanted to re-test before making an appointment to see my obgyn. I'm just praying that its not something really-really serious like cancer. My husband told me not to be looking at all that stuff until we actually go to the doctor because then I just make myself a nervous wreck thinking the worst. So I am trying to stay upbeat.

How are you doing? Did AF show? Are you feeling pregnant? I was thinking of asking my doctor about ovarian cancer, too, but sometimes I can be a borderline hypochondriac. Well that and I get queasy pre-AF alot. I think that our bodies are just temperamental, and the stress or pressure of TTC gets the best of everyone at some point and time. I get a lot of PG like symptoms pre-AF and although I'm not TTC, I am sexually active (monogamously of course), and it can sometimes throw me for a loop. Overall though, it's just my warning sign that it's time to hit up the drug store (which it's time for me to do now :)

Sorry about that. Just needed to ramble a bit. Please let us know what happens Thursday.

I am here with ya. I am actually now 3 weeks late. I have taken test after test and all have been negative at this point I was hopeing that one would be positive than that way I would know what is going on. I hate not knowing I am sure you know what I mean.
I went to my regular doctor and they did a urine test and it was neg. I knew it would be, but than they took blood and checked my hormone levels and thyroid. They called me last week and said everything was normal. I have an appointment with the GYN tomorrow. I will let you know what she says. But more than likely I wont know anyhthing for about a week or so. I just hope that it would come already or I would get a pos. than I would know nothig is wrong!

last period for me was 4/20/07 So I am going on almost 2 months with no af. ahhhhh. driven me crazy.

I agree that you need to see the dr. I went through a no AF time that lasted 18 months and I was not pregnant... I felt almost exactly like you have described. I was diagnosed with PCOS you may want top pull up symptoms on the web and see if they sound like you it may give you a piece of mind.

After talking to someone at my Obgyn's office this morning, we've decided to wait till Sunday to test, which will be the 2 week late mark. It should give a truer indication by then if I am pregnant or not. I will let everyone know how it goes.

Thanks to everyone for replying!!
