Went for Blood Test today!

Hi All!

I don't post here very often, but wanted some good luck from everyone. Went to dr's office today for a blood test. I am on cd48 today. My cycle is normally around 32-38 days. I took an HPT on Monday and it was -. Last Thursday I thought AF was coming because I was cramping and felt nauseaus and then cramped for 2 more days and then nothing. I have a very mild yeast infection and twinges in my bb's and lower ab (not painful bb's though). The last times DH and I BD'd were last week after AF was already due (and before that, I don't remember). I'm hoping that maybe I O'd late and now could be PG???? I've only just started to become educated on fertility and wish that AF will either come, so I can chart or I'm PG. Does anyone have any thoughts about the cramping and nausea last Thursday, Fri, Sat??? Can this be a sign that a yeast infection is coming?

Thanks all

Baby Dust to all!

Hey there! I'm right with ya on being 48 days and no AF and I cycle longer, like you, too. Best of luck with your blood test!!!!!!! Mine on Monday was negative, but my doctor still thinks I AM really pg and that my hcg levels are low. He told me to do another hpt on Monday, then it'd be time for an ultrasound. So, just so that you know a negative blood test does not always mean you're not pregnant. I don't know for sure yet. But, both my doctor and others on here have told me of unusual cases where the hcg levels are low and it shows positive later with an ultrasound. Now, as to your Q about the nausea and cramps being related to possibly having a yeast infection coming on..........I'm not a doctor, I just play one on tv.....hehe.....But, I've never heard of those symptoms when a yeast infection is starting. Double check that with your doctor, but it doesn't sound like yeast infection symptoms to me. Best of luck with your blood test! I know the waiting is HARD!!!!!! :)Missy<-------M.D.....haha

Thanks for your reply Missy. I hate this 48cd stuff, it's making me crazy... I feel like something needs to happen here. I'll get my test back in the morning. Cross your fingers!! Wow, that's great your dr. still thinks you are PG. I hope, hope, hope so for you!!!!! Since every woman's body is different, I believe all things are possible, especially with a pregnancy. Let me know how your HPT goes on Monday. Good Luck!!!! Do you have any idea when you O'd in this long cycle? Do you think it was a late O?

The mild yeast infection I thought I had is gone now. I feel fine down there. Maybe it was soap irritation or something. I did try a new shower gel yesterday; won't use that again. I still have twingy cramps and I slept for 3 hours today. I was so tired and could have kept sleeping, but my dog wouldn't leave me alone 'cause he wanted to go outside.

Anyway, I will post my results for tomorrow!
