2 weeks late and afraid to test
| Fri, 09-19-2003 - 3:03am |
Hi,
I've been going through this for six years. I give up, start school figuring we couldn't get pg. I'm doing really well in college and bam I'm now 2 weeks late. I really don't want to mess up school and I've obsessed during the last six years enough for everyone on the board. I have had false positives in the past which the docs think was due to cysts.
So my husband and I decided to say to heck with it and moved on with our lives. It's been really hard lately because several of my friends are either pg or just had a child. I do not want to psyche myself into thinking I'm pg if I'm not. I stopped tracking everything a year ago but I have been tired with some wacky muscle pull feelings in my lower abdomen. I snuck in a pg test this past Sunday which was BFN. I didn't look to see if it was expired and can't remember when I bought it but it was some time in the last year. When you get two or three false positives over the years you tend not to trust the tests anyway. My lmp was 8/7 and as of today I'm officially 2 weeks late. I missed my yearly last year so I don't know if I should call the doc or not. My husband wants me to wait especially since we have had so many disapointments in the past. I really do not want to go through thinking I'm pg only to find out my body is playing tricks on me. I usually have 24 to 28 day cycles and do not count it late until the 29th day. What do you suggest I do. Should I wait or call the doc and schedule a yearly asking for a blood test? I'm 30 years old and don't think I can emotionally handle another disapointment. I won't allow this to get to me and my husband is doing the best he can to be supportive but it's hard for him too. Thanks for any help or advice. Good luck to all who are trying!!!

Are you having any pg symptoms? Remember, if you are pg, you can still go to school. In fact, if you are it's really perfect timing because it will be a May baby.
Good luck to you and try not to stress too much. Call your doc and find out for sure what's going on. You are a strong woman that can handle anything that comes along. Keep telling yourself that. I am strong, I am strong, I am strong.
