Help! I need to vent!

Hi, I am new to this board. Sorry if this is a little long, but I just needed to share my story. I needed somewhere to vent my frustration. I am currently 15 days late for my period. Took a few HPT's myself, all were negative. I went to my family doctor on the 24th (9 days late) and had a blood test done which came back negative. At that point I put the whole pregnancy thing out of my mind. I went to my gyno to make sure that everything was ok on Thursday (12 days late). They took a urine test. the nurse came in and told myself and my husband it was negative, and discussed what my symptoms were. After she left, I could hear her and the nurse that actually performed my test talking. The nurse who did my test was saying "But it was postitive, I showed it to 3 other nurses" to which the other nurse responded "You are seeing things. It is clearly negative". So I said to my husband, could they be talking about me? I figured I would find out when my doctor came in. Well, she also told me the test was negative, and discussed what else could be wrong. She did not examine me, and told me to take another test in a week or so if I still don't get AF. I got dressed, and went out to the nurses station for my chart. At this point, my doctor starts questioning me again. She asks if I have been nauseous or vomiting, I told her yes, not vomiting, but I get occasional bouts of nausea and have had quite a few dizzy spells. She tells me "I think you are pregnant. Take these prenatal vitamins and retest in a week". I don't know what to say to her! Then the nurse who performed my test tells me "Your results were definetly positive, but went away after a few minutes. This means it is very early, and we will see you back in a few weeks". So now, I donn't know what to think. I took another HPT the next morning, which came back negative again (my husband told me to listen to the doctor and retest in a week). I have had continued dizzy/light headed feelings, fluttering in my stomach on anf off, and at elast once a day I feel like my period could be coming, but it doesn't. I also have very noticeable blue veins in my breasts, and about once a day I have been having a pretty heavy, clear discharge. Any thoughts? Anyone have a similar experience? The "waiting to see what happens" is driving me crazy! Thanks to anyone who responds!

I don't post here often, but I can relate to your story. My Dh and I have been actively ttc for 4 months going on 5. My period is actually due today and isn't here yet (it's likes to come in the AM). I agree with your Dh that you should listen to the DR. Better safe than sorry!


You said "I have had continued dizzy/light headed feelings, fluttering in my stomach on anf off, and at elast once a day I feel like my period could be coming, but it doesn't. I also have very noticeable blue veins in my breasts, and about once a day I have been having a pretty heavy, clear discharge. Any thoughts? Anyone have a similar experience? The "waiting to see what happens" is driving me crazy!"


This sounds exactly like what I'm experiencing. For the past 6 days I've been sure my AF is coming, but the old hag hasn't shown, but I am having a lot of clear discharge that makes me

What type of HPT's are you girls using? I am sure you are using the most sensitive, but I just thought I would throw that out there. The pregnancy hormone should double every 1-2 days, so hopefully soon you will have your BFP's!! I know several woman where it took 2-4 weeks after the date AF was supposed to show. I know that doesn't help with the impatience of waiting and it does seem odd that the hormone would be able to affect you enough to have physical symptoms but no positive test so I can't imagine it will take too much longer to show up. Everybody is different though! Good luck to you both and lots and lots of baby dust to you! :) Let us know what happens!

Hi ladies,

I have been reading your posts, and I wanted to let you know that i am in a similiar situation. I am not let yet, but I have a lot of the same symptoms. I feel that I am pregnant. My husband and I had unprotected sex on my most fertile day and when i ovulating...So there is a chance I am preganant.

My symptoms are what brought it to my attention though. I started having queasiness, a week ago. Then came the nausea, bloating, gas, increase in smell, food adversions, and smell adversion along with nausea. I have slight abdominal cramping on the right side..and it's real low also. It is also accompanied by a slight back ache. I feel my symptoms are worse in the afternoon, and at night get slightly worse. Sleeping can be uncomfortable also. i urinate two to three time in the middle of the night. My breasts are tingling and sore. I have bluish veins on my chest that are more noticable than ever! My abdomen is where all the action is happening! Laughing..I have taken six pregnancy tests and all BFN!!! Though it still maybe too early to tell....Tommorrow the 8th is when my period is supossed to arrive! I sometime go the restroom and think..It's here!, but nothing yet. I would love to be pregnant, I just hope that all of the symptoms i am having are not in my head. Oh..my husband says that i am extra sensitive..and not this bad with PMS. Right now i am queasy and dizzy. Ugh...

Anyway,

Good luck to you both! Baby DUST!!!! Let me know if and when you get your results.. Period or BABY!!!!

I too feel like I am in your situation. I am probably late for my AF day 56 of my cycle and I have been taking hpt's only to get bfn's. I had a blood test on friday and it was negative. BUT on saturday I took a digital test and guess what it said, pregnant! Then I took another three tests since then all, negative again! I am so confused. I took have had the nausea, dizziness, slightly sore bb's, abdominal cramping, and tiredness! I am so confused! I go for another blood test thursday!

I am in a similar situation. I am 13 days late and all the tests that I took came back negative. I went to the doctor for a blood test, which came back negative and he made it seem like it is very unlikly that I am pregnant, even after I told him I was TTC and I have never been late until now. If I'm not pregnant I wish AF would come already because I am very uncomfortable. If I am, I wish the test would just come back positive.

That was not my normal doctor because she is booked until the last week in september, so I am going this Thursday to get a second opinion from my Mother in law's doctor. I am still thoroughly confused. I haven't tested since last Thursday (that one was negative) and I refuse to spend any more money on HPT's- it is too expensive for all of these negatives. So, hopefully I will get an answer this Thursday! Although, with still no AF I have a feeling I know what the answer is!
