Hi ladies, I've never posted on this board before, but I'm really hoping someone could give me some advice..
I'm not exactly TTC right now, I have in the past though, unsuccessfully. I have NO idea what's going on right now and the Drs are NO help either. Here's my background and sorry if TMI, but I'm just so confused I don't even care anymore.
I've been on Yaz BCP since December of 09, with no problems. Never missed AF or had excessive cramping or anything negative. In April of this year, I missed AF, which I thought was possibly due to stress, but I took 3 pregnancy tests (one at a week late, one a week after that and another after three weeks late-all negative) Since all were negative, but I still hadn't started AF, I restarted taking the BCPs (which apparently is a big no-no to stop if you think you're preggo, who knew) I had tons of symptoms though, like my boobs were huge and super painful and I was nauseous, had constant headaches...

I have made an appointment with a new dr so hopefully I get some results and get this cleared up.
I always feel like I am being argumentative when I point out things like this but it's important we all have the right information. Obviosusly I am no dr but God help me I have had the unfortunate circumstances come up in my life that have required me to learn about this stuff and quickly.
I am not at all saying you weren't pregnant. There's just no way anyone could know at this point. I just wanted to point out that you can have a level as high as 2 or even 3 while you're not pregnant.
Thank you all, I really was thinking I should be seen by someone else, but I didn't want to think that this was all in my head and I was being a hypochondriac or something.
I know a level 3 of HCG doesn't say yes, for certain, but that's the only test I ever had for that, but I know that a normal, non-pregnant women should have 0 HCG in her blood, but I do find it very odd that they wont just tell me what's going on. I have a gut feeling that something isn't right and I've felt just awful for about two months now and I'm sick of being so run-down. But, when the dr is telling you that you're fine, you just start to second-guess yourself.
Thanks ladies!!
I'm going to echo what Wendy and Chelle said: Please, please get another opinion and if you need to, write down everything that is/has been going on (in a timeline) so s/he can get a true picture of what you are going through. I know that once I get into a dr's office I'm much more likely to keep my mouth shut if I don't have everything i want to say written down, and then I leave the office feeling as though I didn't get my point across. Please be your own best advocate and find a doctor who will help you. You should not be in pain like this AND even if it wasn't a miscarriage you may have PID or severe endometriosis that needs to be addressed.
Good luck chica. (((HUGS)))
I would absolutely, positively, find another OB ASAP! Like tomorrow. Or now.
It sounds absolutely as though you had a miscarriage, and that you now have a uterine infection. I don't know why your OB
