HELP!

AF was due Friday. AF is never late! But I got a BFN.

I had no spotting but AF cramps.

Saturday I got another BFN and very, very mild spotting and more AF cramps.

Yesterday, (Sunday) I had another BFN and still mild spotting (no red whatsoever) and more cramps.

This morning I woke up with an awful cold, my temp is below the coverline, my cramps are worse, and still very very little spotting.

I feeling nauseaus (nerves), crampy, and I can't stop crying.

I call the Dr.'s office and they want me to come in for a blood test, but I feel SO horrible and I can't bear the thought of driving all the way there only to have blood drawn and get another BFN. Plus the cramps are killing me.

I feel like I am burning up but I took my temp and I have no fever.

Should I go to the Dr.? I tried calling my mom but I can't reach her and that is making me cry harder. I can't remember the last time I have felt so awful.

Any advice? I just cannot stand the thought of going to the doctor's office.

My chart is attached.

Thanks so much,

Shelley

Shelley-

I'm so sorry! I know how hard it is when you have conflicting symptoms. I hope you do go to the Drs office today and get yourself taken of. You need to be nice and healthy if you are pg and even if you're not!

Take care of yourself.

I know how you feel! I've been off and on spotting for the last couple weeks. AF was due Thursday. I thought she came because I had some light red bleeding, but I have only had brown spotting ever since. I have no cramping, but occasionally a tight feeling in my abdomen and sometimes a sharp pain in my one breast. I haven't felt anything like this in years, yet I took the test today and got a bfn! I couldn't believe it! I'm 4 days past due for a normal AF.

I am hoping it starts soon, just so I can feel normal again. I am also calling the doctor to make an appointment.

Big {{{{{HUGS}}}}} Shelley. I would go ahead and go to the docs. You never know, you may end up with a BFP on a b/t. Sending ++++++++vibes+++++++ to you. I am sorry you feel so bad. Maybe it's m/s? ;0) I will keep thinking positive until I hear otherwise :0D.

Shelley,

I'm sorry you're feeling so bad...what a horrible way to start off your week! All I can say is that cold symptoms, feeling hot, and AF-type cramps are some of the classic PG symptoms I've noticed girls on our board describing. I hope this is the case for you!!

I know it would be no fun to go to the Dr. and get another BFN, but I'd say if it would put your mind at ease, you should go. Again, I hate that you're feeling so bad. I hope it gets better SOON!!

Shelley, I'm so sorry you're not feeling well. Go to the doctor and have them check you. I know it's hard getting that BFN, but you need to know if that's indeed what it is or not. What if you're PG and you're all stressed and worried and a jumble of nerves the way your are now? That's not a nice environment for your growing baby. If you get a BFN then you can grieve and at least you know. I know it's scary to think of getting yet another BFN, we've been TTC for 1.5 years now, that's 17 BFN's in a row-I do understand but I also know the sense of relief I feel when I DO know. Then I feel bad for a bit and start up again. I want it so badly, there's no way I'm gonna get down enough to stop trying! Pull it together, wash your face and go in there and have the blood test. You could be doing all this worrying and get a BFP. Take care, a big hug to you. Know that we're all right there with you ok? Lots of love to you, Sweetie.

Hi Shelley!

I'm sorry you feel so poorly but I agree with the other ladies here that it's better to get to the Doc and get everything sorted. I hope you come back with some news of a BFP for the b/t!! Here's some ****AFSA**** Vibes!!

((((HUGS)))))

Shelley,

I've heard two things: that a cold can delay your period (this has happened to me) and that when you're first preggo you get cold like symptoms. I know that doesn't answer your questions either way. But you should definitely go to the doctor so you can feel better!!

Good luck!!
