Please mark what you think the doc will
do! If i'm pregnant I think I will be
about eleven weeks. Maybe more maybe
less. Eleven is going off of when my
symptoms started.

A doctor will more then likely take a
urine sample first...Then if they arent
satisfied with the results they will
probably do a blood test.

I voted pee test, obviously. If you are,
then they'll schedule an ultrasound

See that's just it though I know I won't
show up on the pee test if I am pregnant.
Well I guess I should say I doubt I would
show up on it. I've only showed up on
one hpt and that was a month ago.

I voted for ultrasound, because that's
what my doc did. I guess its easier
because they have the u/s equip right
there in the office. All they have to do
is turn it on, vs drawing blood, testing,
etc.

My doctor doesn't do the ultrasound, the
ultrasound technician does. It's so much
more expensive to do an ultrasound than to
do a simple pee test. The pee test
doesn't take that long. The first time I
got a pregnancy test in a doctors office,
they asked if I wanted a blood test or a
urine test. Tell them you want a blood
test even if they don't ask.

Yeah, I think I will it's a waste of time
to do a pee test. If i'm pregnant that
is. I really think I am, but i'm really
concerned that something could be wrong if
I am. My belly has started making a
little pouch and my appetite came back
after a lot of nausea and no appetite what
so ever. I've had a lot of the symptoms,
but the only one's I have now is my belly
and i've gained 2 pounds. Which could be
normal for me! Sex feels so much more
unpleasant and everything I do now feels
different. Like when I jump around with
my kindergartners it feels heavier in my
boobs and stomach. It's so frustrating!
Especially after that one test I took
that was positive.

Yeah, i'm hoping, but i'm worried.
Either way if i'm pregnant why are my
levels so low. If i'm not why did I have
all these weird symptoms happening. Do I
have a tumor or something? It's kinda
scary!

I voted for blood test because when I
first found out I was pregant...I didn't
show up on a hpt but two for a long long
time. But the doctor checked my levels on
the blood test. I am not sure..You could
go through the same thing I was going
through.

Well, I spotted on august 22 which I never
spot and that lasted two days! It's not
birth control either I can't handle that
stuff. On september 19th I believe I
had what seemed to be a normal period, but
it lasted for three days. I'm a five
dayer. And now my stomach is growing!
If I lost my baby on my last period you
would think it wouldn't be growing at all!

How did your mom know she was pregnant
then without a period?

She didn't with me and my brother until
she was three months along I believe.
With my sister she didn't know till she
was four months along. Although she'll
admit back then she didn't pay much
attention to charting. She actually had
a docter look at her and tell her she was
pregnant with me, but my mom didn't
believe him so she went to another doctor
who said the same thing. I don't think
hpt's were very commen then.

Bobbi, if the first test comes up
negative, make sure you push for more
investigation. Explain how you feel and
your symptoms and that you have had a
positive and some negative pee tests, but
that you really need an answer to this.
You may just be one of those girls who
ain't gonna show on a test and it might
have to be an ultrasound. I haven't voted
because I think you need a combination of
the tests for a definitive answer.
One old doctor once said that the only
definite sign of pregnancy is delivery of
a baby 
i hope you get the answer you want.

Thanks kia!
I will ask her for more if my test comes
up negative. All I want right now is
peace of mind and so far I have'nt got it.
I hopefully will tomorrow though. I go
in the morning to see her so i'll let you
know what she said.
