Should I get a blood test..please help!
| Mon, 09-22-2003 - 5:34pm |
Okay I'm new so I don't know all the abbreviations so work with me :) Okay AF is 3 weeks, going on 4 weeks late and I have done 3 tests, one each week and one was at Planned Parenthood. They all say negative but I still haven't gotten anything and I'm experiencing the common symptoms plus other sysmptoms. Should I get a blood test or just trust the test at the doc's office and wait for my AF? Which is driving me nuts not knowing and I'm scared that what happened with my sis is happening to me. She did 3 HPT's and a doc's test, all negative, finally she requested a blood test and ended up being 3 months pregnant. So is this all in my head or should I seriously get a blood test? Wouldn't the hormone levels be high enough now? The clinic also continued me on the pill, is this bad if I am PG? Please respond...I'd really appreciate it :)

From what i know about the pill i would follow planned parenthoods advice this is why:
when you went for the testafter being one week late then you started the pill after that, that may have indeed pushed your period into skipping a cycle.I know this because i used to take my pills (21 pack) back to back to avoid getting a period, its actually something most female athletes do so they dont have worry about af coming during a game or event.
If I were you i would relax a little keep taking your pill and wait till your next period is due which by my calculation should be in the following week if you have been taking the pill for 3 weeks already (the last 7 pills in a 28 day pack are only placebos or "sugar pills" any way they dont really do anything but make it easier for you to remember when to take the pill and in MHO they are the culprits responsible in making us gain that unwanted weight)
I hope this has helped
best of luck to you
