Need some comfort...

Hello, I am usually on "the nest" but today I am jumping over here to get some help or advise. I have been really sick lately and I'm worried if i am prego. I am surprisingly neutral about if I am or not. But it is really driving me crazy because I just want to know. So here is what is going on. My period is not due until next week so I can't go by missing a period because I haven't pissed one yet. I went off of my BC a few months ago because i ran out long story but anyway we have been using a condom instead...sometimes. But I have been extremely exhausted, I get really sick..like out of no where. At first I thought maybe the flue but it comes and goes I can feel fine and then just get sick. On top of it my boobs are Killing me they are so sore. My back hurts and I just feel fat. My husband swears I am prego but he is bias because he really wants me to be. I am waiting for the resutls from blood work which I should find out about tomorrow but until then I still am thinking about it. I heard that if you want to be prego bad enough you will start to feel like it and get some symptoms however I really would accept the results either way so i don't think I am just thinking up the symptoms.

I did take to home tests but both came back negative. My doc told me not to go by those because they wouldn't be exactly right because of the timing? but anyway I was wondering if anyone has taken home tests and they get a negative but are actually prego.

 

I just want the results

It's much more common to get a false negative than it is a false positive. When I first took a pregnancy test, I tested first thing in the morning and got a faint 2nd line. When I got home that evening DH wanted me to test again and the 2nd test was negative. Turns out that the pregnancy hormones are much higher in that first morning urine output. That's why most of the test's instructions will encourage you to test in the morning.

Okay first off it could be as simple as you O'ed late and therefore you period is off a little.  Anything that put you or your body under stress can cause your body to O later than normal and thus your period is later.

Try to hang in there.

I think what your doctor is saying is you could be pregnant this cycle, but it is too early in your cycle to tell.  If you tested negative, then your "symptoms" are not because you are pregnant.  You can't have symptoms without the hormone that your body produces after implantation.  The hormones are what the test measures.  If it was negative, then no hormone yet.  If you are feeling that bad, there may be something else concerning going on.  And yes, if you "think" you are pregnant, phantom symptoms are common.  Wait until your period is due then test again.  Good luck and I hope you feel better.

The waiting sucks but you could very well test neg on a home test and still feel some symptoms.  I was dead tired and my boobs killed with a neg then 2 days later BFP and positive blood test.  Test in the AM.  your blood test will pick up even the smallest trace so you should know as soon as you get that back.  Good luck:)

Please don't say prego.

I know it can be frustrating, but you really just need to wait it out. If AF doesn't show in the next few days, POAS again. If you end up going 60+ days without AF, call your Dr.

Good luck!
