hi ladies!
the first day of my last period ws september 3, 2009.
i am expecting for my period to arrive on october 3.
however, 2 weeks have already passed, and i still don't have my period.
i had 5 pregnancy tests - the first 4 revealed a weak positive result.
just a faint line on the test band of the kit.
then i consulted my OB-GYN.
she told me that i am 6 wks pregnant, however, i only have a thickened endometrium on my transvaginal ultrasound.
i did another pregnancy test, and it was a clear positive.
i am worried that my ultrasound revealed just a thickened endometrium, plus my left ovary is not visible.
could this mean a more serious health issiue, and not pregnancy?

thanks.

Did you ask your OB-GYN what that means and if it is a cause for concern? I had a lot of complications with my first pregnancy (son was born healthy at 40 weeks) but one think I learned, is to make sure you ask a million questions, don't let them leave until you have your answers, otherwise you will go crazy not knowing. I would suggest talking to your doctor, because I've heard of thickened lining for several reasons...you are still really early in pregnancy, so it's possible things just aren't very visible yet. Let me know what you find out from your OB!

Hi, I dont know where to post questions at!
Anyways, I have been having acid reflux, frequent trips to the bathroom, some breast soreness not really though, I feel like I may get my period soon, but at the same time I feel pregnant.

I think I've missed my period for this month as well.

Could I be pregnant?
