New & Anxious/Nervous

brittany&justin

Hiladies! This is my first post on here and I?m pretty nervous/anxious tosee what everyone has to say!

Firstoff, I want to mention that I?ve been married for 10 months now.I?m working full time and going to school part time, and my husband willbe going back to school full time in the spring for accounting. We?removing next week to my grandparents (they have an apartment above their garage)and will be able to live practically rent free until we finish school.

 Okso now that I have that over with, I can get to why I?m here. On 10/6 Iwas scheduled for AF to arrive (and put my NuvaRing back in), but instead of mynormal 3 day visit, it was less than one day and extremely light. I reallydidn?t think anything of it then so I kept on with my normal routine.This past Monday night, I ate dinner, and as soon as I did, I felt this majorwave of nausea come over me. I was also having hot flashes and then the chills.DH and I both thought I might be coming down with the flu. Tuesday morning Iwoke up and was still having hot flashes, but also cramps and I felt drained,but still thought the flu. I ended up going home from work and sleeping allafternoon and missing class. I was so hungry but the thought of food made mefeel nauseated every time! By Wednesday morning, I just knew somethingwasn?t right with my body. I started looking up flu symptoms, but I justhad this feeling that it wasn?t the flu. Something brought me to think Imight be pregnant. So of course I started looking at my calendar and there is achance that I could be pregnant. I also immediately thought of my short visitfrom AF (my sis knew she was PG since her AF was off?about the same asmine). So of course I couldn?t wait, so I bought a test at lunch and tookit. BFN. Bummer. I mean I know that we?re definitely NOT stable enoughfor a child, but I can?t help but to get excited to know that somethingmight be growing inside of me! Anyway, something was still not right with mybody and I kept on reading, anything and everything! There are so many womenwho have conceived a child on the ring, and there are so many false negatives. Ihave my annual checkup next Friday, 10/21, so I?m going to get a bloodtest if I still keep getting BFN?s between now and then.

 Sothat night, I sat down with DH and let him know. I was surprised at his reaction?nervous/excitedplus very supportive. I know those are all things he should be, but witheverything that?s going on and will be in the near future, I didn?tknow how he was going to react. Thursday morning, I decided to take anotherswing at it, but again, BFN. I think all I did was read more and more! Somethingis totally going on with my body and I?m determined to find out what! Wedecided that we wouldn?t say anything to anyone until we know for sure,which is killing me because I want to just call my mom so bad, but if I am, I wantto be able to have that surprise factor! We ended up going to a Art and Winewalk to support some friends of ours who?s a florist. She?s PG withher 4th! DH and I decided that maybe we should get her input onthings so we let her know. She is great, I must add, because with 3 kidsrunning around in the background, she reassured us that everything will be ok! Ithink that relieved DH quite a bit, because no matter what he says, he?sscared.

 Anyways,it?s been 4 days and the symptoms are still full force. Tender breasts,full stomach, light headaches, nausea all the time, vaginal discharge, and ofcourse the fatigue, but then there?s the BFN.

What do you think it is? Or what should I do??

Dr.Loretta

I think you're not pregnant and you're having what a lot of people have happen on NuvaRing--spotting or weird periods and pregnancy scares.

Call your dr and explain your symptoms. See what they want you to do.

I'm pretty sure you're not pregnant.
