Q: Has Anyone Had This Happen

I've posted this before. I have more questions. For those women who had there period durring there pregnancy. How long did it take to show up on a pregnancy test. I'm on my 2nd month of a really wierd cycle. I've taken a bunch of home pregnancy tests and had one done by my doctor. They have all been negative. But there has been so many strange things going on. Last month I had bleeding for 3 weeks. And now i'm not supposed to start my next period for another 2 weeks and I started bleeding again. I've been going nuts for 2 months thinking i'm pregnant, then thinking i'm not. Is it possible or am I overreacting?

Hey I started bleeding right around the time that I was supposed to get my period (in august) I am still bleeding now.
I went to the doc b/c of what I thought was an irregular period and they took an urine test and told me that I am pregnant. Still, to confirm, they sent me to get an ultrasound done and I got the surprise of my life!

My little baby was in there and I heard the heartbeat (i was 7weeks 4days at the time)

i don't know the exact problem that I am having since I still have not seen my ob (still waiting for my first appointment) but from my research I think I might have some problems with my placenta. I have been bleeding for 2 months straight now.

Have you been feeling nausea or sore breasts?

I have had nausea off and on. I've been getting these dizzy spells (which is normal, because I have low blood preassure) i've been on a weight loss program since january and for the past couple of months its been extreemly hard to lose weight. I've been retaining a lot of water. Like I said, i've taken alot of pregnancy tests, and they have all come up negative. I've noticed certin foods are making me want to vomit. Seems to be mostly really greasy stuff.

Have you had a blood test done? (i suffer from low blood pressure also)
sometimes pregnancy tests don't read that you are pregnant until later on.

If you haven't had any bloodwork done to see if you're pregnant than I suggest you ask for one. Either way it would be helpful to find out.

If you are pregnant maybe it's not the best time to be in a weight loss program (especially if it's one that deprives you of some things that you might need during your pregnancy) and depending on your diet it might throw your body off a little and make you feel a little dizzy more often.

I really suggest to have bloodtests done and ask your doctor for an ultrasound. If you are pregnant you need to know soon, and if the bleeding is being caused by something else than you also need to find out soon.

I really hope you get answers (i know what it's like not to get answers from the docs)

Yes I did have a blood test about 2 weeks ago. It was negative.At that point I would have only been 3 weeks. But my blood preassure is usually low. It runs in my family. The weight loss program I am on is more about eating a more balanced diet. Its not a real depriving one. Its pretty well built off of the food pyramid. Since its a weekend I can't call my doctor until tomorrow. But when I talked to her last month she told me that if the same thing happened in this month to call her and make an appointment.
