OK.........I just posted that my blood test came back negative. But, my doctor's office JUST called me back and my doctor is NOT convinced by the test. He thinks I still really may be pregnant!!!!!!! And, told me to wait another week, stop drinking ALL the water I drink ( not stop, but I drink more than the average person ) and do another hpt in one week! My emotions are ALL over the place today!!!!! First, my hopes were up, praying I was pregnant.......then, I got the news that the blood test was negative and I was bummed......NOW, I have hope again.....but, again, I'm trying to not get my hopes up TOO high. I'm just wondering if others have had anything like this happen???? I thought once the blood test said NO, that was it. Many thanks to all on the boards!!! I truly appreciate your help, support and information! :) Missy

Hey Nikki!

Best wishes on your testing tomorrow!!! You said you had tested negative with both hpt's and a blood test with your son, then tested postive a week later. Was the positive test a week later a hpt or another blood test? Also, how many days into your cycle were you? Thanks for giving me hope!!!!! Again, all the best tomorrow......be sure to let us all know how things turn out! :) Missy

Hi-

The test I took a week later was a HPT. I honestly don't remember how many days into my cycle I was. The only answer the dr gave me was that I ovulated late in my cycle. That was 6 years ago. I wasn't checking my cm or anything back then so I really don't know. But at least people can know that it does happen, and I'll have to remember that myself when I start testing. I am not a patient person so this is torture for me. My biggest problem right now is moodiness. I am so crabby and everyone is driving me crazy! I hope I have an answer by Friday because we are leaving for a short family vacation--- and I know it will be no fun for anyone if I continue this moodiness. Anyone let me know when you have results!

Thank you! It is great news, but I don't fully believe it yet. I swear I've been so hormonal for so long now, and have had so many disappointments with this, I'm not sure what's real and what isn't any more. I think, not sure, but if you did a little searching you could find out for sure, that at 4 weeks ?? you can see the gestational sack, which would confirm pregnancy. I am sure though, that you can see the fetus at 5.5 - 6 weeks. I have no idea what day it is in my cycle. I am just estimating based on the length of time I've had these symptoms. I figure I would have had to have gotten pregnant at least a couple of weeks before the symptoms started. Did I say 9 weeks?? I ment to say 8!!

And you're welcome! You cheered me up too with your new doctor story! Good luck to all of us!

Yes, at 5 weeks they can see the fetus. I had a sono done around that time because my hcg level was so low for how long they estimated I was pg. They thought I was miscarrying, but I just wasn't as far along as they thought. Another reason why they thought I O'd late in my cycle. I have a sono picture from 5 weeks and he looks like a little jellybean!

Good Luck!

Hey Nikki!

Thanks for the info!! And, you're not alone with the MOODINESS......I am being such a B*****!! and that's just not like me. Everything's on my nerves! One minute I'll be singing to some song in the car, then tell my hubby to "TURN THAT OFF.....it's ON my nerves!" haha. Oh, and get this....I teared up watching a Jiff peanut butter commercial! LOL How pathetic is that? As for your vacation, just try to relax and do what I've been doing.....WARN everyone! haha I'm sure I ovulate late because my cycles are longer, so I'm hoping this week will tell the tale! All the best to you! :) Moody Missy

Hey Marmalade!

Thanks so much for all the info on the ultrasound!!! I know I've posted this somewhere, but am I right in how I'm calculating how many weeks along I am......IF I am.......by just counting the number of weeks since the start of my last period? In that case, I'd be 6 weeks. Sooooo, you're saying they can see a sac by 5-6 weeks, so I'm guessing if I still haven't started and am still testing negative by next monday, my doctor will go ahead with the ultrasound fairly soon!!!! Or at least I hope so!!!! I have been SO scattered today after getting the negative report, then a call back saying......WAIT.....the doctor isn't buying that test result, etc.....this board has kept me relatively sane today and offered great support! Thank you all! :) Missy

Yeah, missy, I'd guess they'll just schedule you for their next available appointment. Are you still feeling sane today? Do you know, I was rear-ended yesterday, on my way home from work. I just got the car in June. Luckily it could have been worse. If I hadn't had my foot over the break I would probably have been killed.

I really need to vent. It's been a bad month. If anyone's listening, you might be able to hear the whining in my voice through your computer.

Oh Marmalade!!! I'm so glad you're ok!!! Sounds like a guardian angel was watching over you yesterday in your car!! WHEW! You go ahead and VENT away! They really need a chat to go along with these message boards! We could have nothing but hormonal women venting away and getting it all out with others who are in the same boat! HAHA As for my current sanity level....lol....I'm doing pretty good. Still no AF and I'm not sure if this is a pg symptom, but I've been dizzy some today. Is that a sign??????? I am chomping at the bits to do another hpt tomorrow morning. But, my doctor told me to wait till next monday and that's my hubby's bday and he's really wanting me to wait it out and test on his bday. Soooooooo, I'm going to tough it out for him! Would be a very cool bday surprise! My sister from Dallas just arrived for a visit and dropped by work with her 6 month old. I had MY pending news blabbed out in NO TIME. She didn't believe me! I had to show her where my doctor took blood on Monday! haha I'm just trying to think positive and keep super busy!!!!!!!!!!! Sunday night, I'm going to lay off of all the water and TRY to get some sleep before I test again. It's going to be a LONG night! Let us all know how you're doing, Marmalade and vent anytime! :) Missy

Dizziness is definately a pregnancy symptom and one I'm very familiar with. Not really dizzy I guess, more like lightheaded and not really seeing right, or the edges of things look sort of fuzzy to me. Hard to explain. As for my input, you should WAIT! I don't know, but the anxious feeling of waiting, to me, has proven much more tolerable than false negatives. Thanks for your words! I'm going to vent some more tomorrow ;)
