I'm still confused!!! I was seen by a Physician's Assistant - who was also training someone else, and she said you usually can't tell by an exam if you're pregnant or not - I wanted to SCREAM!! The woman in training is the one who did they actual exam and I'm pretty sure she would not know what she is looking for when feeling for pregnancy! They had me do a urine test and that came up negative -- but given my past history, hcg doesn't show up in my urine very well so I was disappointed they didn't do a blood test - at least then I would know for sure what was going on! Another thing, when she did my pelvic, it was EXTREMELY uncomfortable and I bled afterwards -- I NEVER have bled after an exam - I have known a couple of people who when they went in for their first pre-natal exam that they experienced the pain and bleeding like I did - have you ever heard of that? I'm probably just grasping at straws again. I am just sooooo completely confused! I still am having waves of nausea, going to the bathroom ALL the time, after I eat I get a really, really full feeling in my stomach, my stomach was tender to touch this morning (like it was when I was pregnant with my other kids), I have a headache right now, bb's are sore on and off -- am I just imagining all this!?!?! Should I just trust what the urine test said today and go with it, or hold on to possible false hopes of being pregnant?!?!? Is there even still a chance?

I know what you mean and people ask me what i have about going to the doctor. If it ain't broke don't fix it! I don't have much experience with this , but i'd probably chalk it up to the bad handling from the pa and plan to go again if af doesn't show up. Honestly it might hurt a little to get your hopes up, but i'd try to find someone to do a quantitative blood test. It make take a few days to get results, but that will tell you for sure.

I feel like i have lots of symptoms too but i don't have a reg. ob-gyn that i can get to so i called planned parenthood. If tomorrow's hpt is - than i'm going there. I already called and the one near me can do a walk-in blood test (40$) ouch! I have to wait 2-3 days but for me that's better that trying to deal with a new doctor and a physical exam. If it comes up + i'll find a well-established ob-gyn.

good luck and baby dust

Tweedle and Secert.

Oh my gosh I feel ya'lls pain. I too am another one who is irregular. I am anout 57 days late with all the same signs. Why in God creations would I hope to have sore breast swollen gut the feeling as if I alone could float my own hot air ballon. Who would want to feel this way if you where not preg. I know from my own experience that if I could have a peroid then at least I could start from the begin again. But playing the what if game I think is killing me more then finding out that I am not +. I really want another baby and I too have had a history of false neg blood test until I was 8 weeks preg. At six weeks they had done an utlr sound on me and said there was a sak but no baby so they checked agin at 8 weeks and the blood test with my daughter only gave a quantative test number of 48(there thinking was that I was having a MC) She was born full term and heatly.

Now I am having all the signs of a preg. but I have had 3 quantative test all consider neg. 10/17 .05- 10/31 .64- and 11/06 .58- . I have no spotting and still feel preg. I have a ob appointment Friday but I am so afraid of going because I dont know that I can handle them telling me in person that it is all in my head. So ladies how am I produce the HCG hormone if I am not Preg. Do you think that maybe I am and that my body is trying to tell me so. I know if it was a chemical preg. I should of started AF by now rite? Also Could it be possible that maybe I have not had the implantation yet? Please help.. I wish and pray for everybody in here and Tweedle I think that YOu should ask for a second oppinion the PA sounds very new and might just be unqualified in her job rite now. Besides a PA is not trained in the specific of all female anatomny. I really hope you are preg. it gives me hope. Secert I also hope you are too. When were your ladies last AF?

Thanks for your response!! I'm glad to hear that is is "normal" to be pregnant and not find out even with a blood test right away!! My lmp was 9/16. I wouldn't be so skeptical about the results if I hadn't spotted a few days after the date in which I KNOW I would have conceived (10/8). There just seemed to be too many coincidences tied in to being pregnant. Right now I'm just going to try to go about my business and assume I am not pregnant and if I don't get my period within another 2-3 weeks, I guess I'll go in for a blood test! What an emotional rollar coaster though!! I just don't understand how you can test hcg in your blood and NOT be pregnant!! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!! Keep me posted!

Good luck & baby dust your way!!
