I called the doc today.The blood test I took came back negative but she told me that it was probably too early to tell.I mean my gosh how far along do you have to be for it to show up.If I count from my last normal period then I should be 10 weeks but if you count from conception then I should be around 8 weeks.I took the test on 09-21-05.They did the urine test that day but I still had a little blood in there from where I had spotted the day before and it came back negative.I have all the symptoms and I think im pregnant but I cant get the durn test to show it yet.It is about to drive me nuts.Im going to wait until I am supposed to get my period again and then go to an obgyn instead of a clinic.That way they can do an u/s to make sure.Hopefully ill know then.My mom thinks im pg cause of everything that im doing.When should it show up on a blood test?Please tell me.

Blood test are normally not wrong but well you could be producing the hormone alot slower then normal. That might be why its not showing up. I would just keep waiting and testing but defineatly act as though your pg just incase. It sounds like you are. An u/s would be the best idea.

This may sound gross but when I went to the bathroom earlier when I wiped I had this thick clear discharge on the tp.It was very gross but what do you think it could be?Ive never had that before.Ive also got this breaking out on my upper torso (back, top of arms, and top part of chest).It is a little itchy but not too bad and it just came up on thursday.I havent eaten anything id be allergic too or used any different kinds of anything.What could that be?Sorry for the details and for all of the questions.

Ok the discharge is normal when your pg. It happens. Breaking out in zits and stuff is normal too. Its your hormones your body is changeing since you sound like you are pg. Anyway those are kinda in a way signs too that you could be pg.

Well they arent zits.Its just like little tiny raises in the skin.Its weird and I have had zits on my face and I never get them.Maybe one or two around my period but nothing like this.Im just so tired of waiting.Now im probably going to have to wait until time for my period again before I go back to the doc.I started spotting 5 days earlier than when my period was supposed to start this time.Do I need to wait until around that time next month or my usual time?I dont have the money to be going all the time and I dont have any insurance at the moment.Thanks for the comments.

Heather I am in your boat. I keep having this niggling feeling that I am pregnant. Even tho every test I have done has come back negative, I had have 2 months of really light monthlys which is out of character with cramping.. Again out of character. The only thing that is keeping me thinkign that there is a possiblity is that I have agot a pooch out of nowhere.. And I stil have rather visable veins running though mt areola and my nipples are a dark red colour, have loads of gas and I am just beign attacked by waves of tiredness. I coudl go on and on as to why else I think I may be but like you I would be 10 weeks now I think, I took some more side pictures of my belly today..

Http://ludusequinus.Com/images/albums/9091 _1255.Jpeg is todays

and http://ludusequinus.Com/images/albums/9091 _5465.Jpeg was 2 weeks ago, ignore the dates on the pics I cant work out how to change them on the camera.

Now I failry fit and healthy, slender body and this wee pooch ahs come out f no where, at first I thought it was water retention but its not going.

But I can still suck it in, I can make it fairly flat and all. I really dont know what I would be feeling for if I were.. I can feel impacted feaces in my colon and thats hard as it normal is, but I would not knwo what a uterus with a baby in it would feel like!

I have a smear pap thing on thursday and I will ask the nurse a few things, see what she says. I feel to stupid tho, as for most people it sa case of have sex, get pregant, get postive test, have scans, have baby..
It dosnt seem to be that simple.. Cause I woul dbe 10 weeks now and I still dont know for sure.. But there is something niggling me inthe back of my mind that keeps on teling me I still might me!

If links dont work take out any capitializations that this site puts in!

It feels firm all on the left side of my abdomen.Not just down in my pelvic area but along the whole front left side.Its firm along the whole lower part of my abdomen but more so on the left side.I dont know its just weird and ive never noticed it before.Its not sore to the touch or anything.It was about 2 weeks ago but not anymore.Maybe im just imagining everything, I dont know.Im just so confused and stressed about this whole thing.This is wearing thin on my patience.Oh well guess ill just have to wait.
