They didn't take a pregnancy test? That would seem like the FIRST thing that needs to be done. And your doctor would tell you how far along you are based on your last period. Or you could find that information online.

They didn't do a urine pregnancy test on you but they did do an ultrasound? That seems odd.

When will you be getting the results of your bloodwork? If I were you I'd discuss with my doctor whether or not I was pregnant. You can call the office and ask to speak with his nurse. They should have given you this information before you left the office.

Did you get a prescription for prenatal vitamins? An instruction sheet on what kind of medication you can take while you're pregnant?

You are not pregnant.

A doctor's office would never, ever, ever, ever in a million years advise a pregnant woman to take ibuprofen.

She told you to take ibuprofen. You are not pregnant. She would never, every recommend that if she suspected you were pregnant.

She gave you tylenol with codeine because you are in pain, dear. She probably wouldn't have given you that if you were pregnant, either.

Ok, let me say this in a way so it makes more sense.

PREGNANT WOMEN CANNOT TAKE IBUPROFEN. You said she told you to take ibuprofen for the pain. PREGNANT WOMEN CAN ONLY TAKE TYLENOL. Not tylenol with codeine. But regular, plain, doesn't really work, tylenol.

Sounds like you might have something else going on.

When was your last period?

So are you counting October 20 as your period or are you counting that as your missed period?

Because as of now, no pregnancy test would be positive because you haven't missed your November period. Wink

Your doctor will tell you if you are pregnant or not. But as of now, it doesn't sound like you are. Wait until you miss your period - and/or go in for your pap smear.
