Alright, so, normally I'm not the type to ask questions or look for advice, but I'm at my wits' end and I'm not sure what to do or think.

The last period I had was in early June. Ever since the beginning of July, I've been getting sick regularly after eating, and sometimes for no reason at all. My breasts have grown in size, are tender around the nipples, and they're giving milk, but they're not darker as far as I can tell. I've gained weight, and the muscles in my lower belly region have been hurting in the same way an arm muscle hurts when you pull it. I just took a test and it came out negative, but I figured that it would.

My real question is...is there any home test that I can take that would read positive where others haven't? Maybe one that is more sensative than others? I have a feeling that my body is one that doesn't put out enough hormones to be readable on a normal test. Is blood testing my only option? And if I'm not pregnant, than what could be wrong with me?

Try First Response Early. It is one of the most sensitive one's you can buy and it is great. Have you had an AF (period) since June? Or are you just irregular? You can also contact your doctor for a blood test that would be even more sensitive than HPT! Good luck.

Nope, no period AT ALL before July, and none that I remember in June...though if it was in June, it would have been the first week. I know that I'm pretty regular on a 29 day cycle. I tried an EPT brand test, but I'm doing some research on the sensativity on brands and I'm going for a blood test tomorrow.
