Symptoms VS Doctor

My doctor told me it's too early to be having some of the symptoms in having but isn't each body different?
I'm due for my period this week. But last week I had and still have nausea and dull adominal aches.
I've been so tired but if I try to sleep at night it just doesn't happen. I'm hungry all the time but nothing sounds appealing. I had fire nipples they are so tender some days while others are more bareable than others boobs are a lot fuller.
May be PMS someone help?
Haven't taken test yet because I wanted to wait until first missed period.

Re: Symptoms VS Doctor
You may have PMS or a stomach bug. You may be pregnant but those symptoms are unrelated to pregnancy. Way too early.
Take a test and then you'll know. There are tests that can tell you before you've missed your period
Make a pregnancy ticker
Sore boobs and other symptoms can be period or pregnancy, there is no way to know until you turn a test. I will say however that there is almost no way there is enough HCG in your system that early to have severe nausea and exhaustion.
Here i am with severe insomnia and when i do sleep its weird dreams and interrupted. Headaches, thirsty all the time. Im going to test in a couple days and see if I get my BFP.
But insomnia like what your describing seems far more like it's anxiety based then pregnancy. And even if it were caused by hormone fluctuations due to pregnancy, you could turn a test now.
Hoping for good news.
I miscarried in november and I'm pretty torn about it still.
I saw the test a positive test a week and a half before AF was due. went for a test in
clinic it was negative had to get a blood test and they congratulated me. week later i was crushed.
I was told I'd be high risk I had to get a shot for RH factor? they aren't sure if anti bodies were created.
So I rather have a blood test for further analysis if I am.
Safe than sorry.

If you have a positive hpt of course call your doctor, as with your history of loss they will want to check your hcg doubling numbers. But there's no reason to do any of that if you're not actually pregnant.
A waste of a doctors time? Really?
And my time? Insensitive much?
A concern for ones self and a potential being is not a waste.
You haven't gotten a positive test yet. That's what it all comes down to. All of this symptom spotting means nada. Nothing. So yes, wanting to go to the doctor to be treated as if you are pregnant is a waste of time.
This is why the healthcare system in the US is so messed up...people are taking up valuable doctor time and appointments that others might actually NEED for something that can be easily screened for at home.
Your doctor will likely refuse to do a blood test if you haven't received a positive HPT result at home first. Because that is how this works. In fact, if you insist on going to the doctor before testing at home first, the doctor will make you pee in a cup when you arrive and charge you 10 times what a drug store would to use an HPT to screen you before ordering bloodwork. this is how it works. i understand you want to be pregnant, we've all been there. but until you have a positive HPT in your hands, or you haven't had a period for 60 days, there is no reason to call your doctor.
As i said, because of your history of loss, i'm sure that as soon as you have a positive HPT your doctor will want to see you and order bloodwork. But ordering bloodwork for sport isn't really what doctors do. What you want to do is take up the time of a doctor, a nurse or technician to take your blood, and the lab workers who would test your blood just to get the same response that peeing on a $1 stick at home will get you. that is preposterous.
Now what...
