Q: Please Tell Me What You Think!

Okay, i'm two years out of highschool and was not planning on pregnancy.

About 2-3 weeks ago I got a bacterial infection that later turned into a yeast infection. Around that time, I started feeling bloated as if I were going to start my period. Soon after I got constant headaches and backaches that are still going on. (i have constant dull aches everywhere in my body and i'm still feeling fat)

about 2 weeks ago I started craving salads and chocolate milk. I also became constipated around this time and am still having constipation. I also started getting sharp pains in my abdomen around this time.

About a week ago, I started cramping like I was going to have my period, but I never did. Morning sickness also set in at this time. I don't get sick every day, nor all day... But more like just radomly. It seems like the smallest things take it out of me too. Just doing the dishes makes me feel lightheaded and like I need to sit down. I took a pregnancy test at this time, but it showed up negative.

The other day I was at my fiancees parents house for dinner. My legs started going numb and I couldn't sit in one position for very long. The day after my right leg hurt all day long. I'm still getting numbing feelings in my legs every now and then.

My backaches are constantly nagging me. It hurts so bad that my fiancee can barely even touch it.

My mood swings are horrible! I get so irrate over the smallest things. I'll cry hysterically over nothing. Its usually at night that my mood swings take place.

I've also been getting cold chills alot during the morning and day, but at night i'm so hot that I have to get naked. Sleeping is horrible... I can't get comfortable at all! It takes me 1-2 hours just to fall asleep when it used to take me 10 min!

I took another test today and it again showed negative. I'm now 3 days late for my period but am still having light cramping that comes and goes. I'm on the patch so I normally start my period the day that I take it off or the day after. And my cramps come with my period, not before it.

I got an apt. With the doc. For a blood test. They told me that I could come in anytime within the week. I want to go in today, but i'm afraid of it showing up negative. I don't know what on earth i'm going to think is wrong with me if i'm not pregnant. I just have this feeling that I am though. Womans intuition I guess. I also think that I knew the same night of conception. I had a weird feeling after sex and I had even told my fiancee about it. I don't know.... I feel like i'm going crazy or something!

So... Do you think its too soon to get the blood test done?

They usually make you wait until youve taken so many urnie tests and are so many days late for your period. Thats just my experiance.
Good luck

Im almost 4 months pregnant and I never recieved a blood test, both of my hpt were negative and I finally went to the doctor and all they did was give me a urine test. I had some of the same symptoms that you explained when I found out I was anemic, the numbness in the legs and getting dizzy after standing for only a few minutes, and then I would get real exhausted and not be able to get comfortable enough to sleep. But I hope everything works out for the best. Good luck.

Thank you.

I went ahead and went to the Dr. For the blood test. I'll find out the results in about 40 min. I'm nervous!

I think I had some implantation (sp?) bleeding today. I usually have really really heavy periods. But today I noticed a little tiny streak of pink on the toilet paper. I put in a tampon to see if I was bleeding and there was a small amount of brown blood. I put in another one while I went to the Dr. Incase I started my period. There was just a tiny amount of brown still. Nothing is coming out while I pee or is on the toilet paper anymore... Its really weird because like I said, I usually have really heavy, red periods.

Sigh!
Well it came back negative. I haven't had anymore bleeding than just the tiny bit of brown. The doctor told me that if I haven't started my period by the 6th, then I need to come back for another blood test.

I still just feel pregnant... I don't know if its cuz I kind of want to be, or if its because I am, but I just have this feeling that something isn't right and these tests are screwed up.

I dunno... I'm 3 days late so far, is it normal for the blood test to still show up neg.?

Test
Yeah actually it is. I was pregnant and had a blood test done a wk bf I found out I was pregnant and it was neg. I was like you I was convinced that I was so that following week I took another home test and it was positave. So yeah I guess it depends on who you are. And how your levels do.

I am sorry that it was neg. But sweety you have plenty of time to worry about having a baby. Dont rush it when the time is right you will get pregnant trust me.

Yeah, you're probably right. My friend told me to just accept it as a negative and if I haven't started by the 6th, then i'll go from there. I have a Dr. Apt tomorrow with my family Dr. Maybe he can tell me what else might be wrong with me or if he also thinks its pregnancy.

Thanks alot you guys!
