Round ligament pain?? early?

Help! (long)

Here is my problem. I am 4 days late for AF (was due the 7th), I have no idea when I ovulated for sure, however, when I saw the proper CM, we BDed.

I have been feeling kinda crappy for the past few days. Slightly sick feeling (though I never throw up anyway, so what I am feeling is bad for me), I am really tired, and just my nipples are hurting- not the rest of my breast.

But- and this is the big one- for the past two days I have felt what is identical to the round ligament pain I had with my son! I haven't felt it since I was preg, and here it is again. I had a negative test yesterday, but it was kinda old and had been sitting around my bathroom awhile, which I read was a no-no on the packet.

With my son (long story, but basically I never got a positive home or blood test and didn't find out until i was 21 weeks that he was even in there, when I went for an U/S looking for a cyst) I felt the round ligament pain at around 20 weeks- or just before I found out I was preg.

It is normal at that stage, but even if i was preg, why would I have it now? I don't know what to do! I know it is useless to waste money on tests- they were constantly negative for me, even when I WAS pregnant. I have moved since and I know my doctor here won't believe my story that the blood test didn't work either. All it showed was high prolactin which is the hormone you make when pregnant for milk production, or for a type of brain tumor. Since I 'wasn't pregnant' they were about to send me for a CT scan, but my mom made sure I go for the ultrasound and there he was.

I can't go in to the doc with this story, they always think i am nuts when i say it. I could get a blood test, but I doubt it would show up... can I just go in there and ask for an ultrasound? I had a full normal AF on May 7th, so I worry it would be too early to see on an U/S too.

AHHH! I don't know what to do, but I don't want to miss another pregnancy!! People joke about how easy it was for me, but I missed everything and worry about it happening again.

Sorry so long, thanks for reading.

If the first day of your last period was May 7th that would put you at 5 weeks today.

Thank you Wendy.

I think I am going to pop into the clinic today, if it isn't too busy (I haven't got a family doctor in this area yet) and at least see what they say. Last night I woke up and got out of bed a bit too quickly and I felt really nauseous- which is NOT normal for me ever. I really feel like I am, but I hate to be so let down if I am not you know?

At the very least I will test on Saturday with FRER- I don't know.. maybe that will make the difference.
