I have posted here a couple of times a couple weeks ago. I thought I might have been pregnant because of all the symptoms I was having. I am due to start my period sometime between today and Thursday but I have been having symptoms since September 6. Since then I have been having even more symptoms and several tests have come out negative. I don't know what to think. My symptoms consist of slight cramping and backache, a little light headed at times, tender breasts and nipples, clear nipple discharge, metallic taste in my mouth, gas and my cervix is high and unusually wet for this time of month. Now if I were pregnant and had enough hcg to create all of these symptoms wouldn't it show up on a test. And if I'm not pregnant, what are all the symptoms about?

Hey, I know how you feel. My last period was Aug. 18th, which makes me a week late. Two tests have given negative results. I have slight abdominal cramping and light headedness occassionally. I don't have sore boobs. Any way last month i was 1 week late so i think i'll wait until friday or saturday before testing again. I don't know what to think of our symptoms if we're not pregnant. But i just wrote to let you know you are not alone.

Good Luck!

Thanks for the response. It makes me feel better to know that there are others that are going through the same thing. I just called my doctor and I'm going in for a blood test when I get off work. They should have the results by tomorrow sometime. I'm really nervous that it is going to come out negative. I've really gotten my hopes up over the past few weeks. Well at least I will know for sure and get rid of all the questions that are swimming around in my head. Please wish me luck and I'll do the same for you! Thanks again for responding!

Well I just got a call back from my doctor. I thought I would finally find out for sure and lay all these questions to rest but they said I have to wait another week before they can do a blood test. I don't understand that. I know I have read on here that women have had a blood test done way before their periods are due and since I am supposed to start today that's not good enough for them. They said if I'm not at least a week late then it is just wasting money. If it came out negative they would just have to do it again. I am soooo FRUSTRATED right now. I just hope I am not putting myself through all of this for nothing and I finally do get a positive!! Thank you for letting me vent a little and good luck to all of you.
