Ok all the sudden I got strech marks on my abs... I dont want my boyfriend near me.. I have been spotting for about 2 months..Sharp pains all over the tummy area on the sides.. Im have some trouble breathing sometimes only when the pain comes for about half a minute..My boobs have goss bumps and they feel like there hanging. Most signs say im going to have a baby but the test said no whats going on with me?And why dont I want him near me. He hates it soooo much I seriouly wont let him touch me

I would recommend going to a doctor! You could have an ectopic pregnancy or worse. Thing is...If the baby has stopped developing and is no longer living...You may not get a positive preggo test because the hcg level is too low. The pain and bleeding along with your other symptoms...Leads me to believe that there is a problem here. I hope all turns out okay....But please get checked out soon. :)

Stretch marks aren't caused just by being pregnant. Stretch marks are caused by rapid weight gain or rapid weight loss.

If you've been spotting for 2 months and getting negative pg tests it could be something else and you're just interpreting the signs as pregnancy. You really need to see your ob as soon as you can, especially if you plan to get pregnant in the future.

You're not necessarily pregnant. I'd get to the doctor's if I were you.

Are you on birth control? Could be the cause of spotting. The sharp pains worry me... Definitely call your doc.

sorry! I really didn't mean to scare you! :(
i just wanted you to know all the possibilities so you don't get your hopes up just in case. Now...You could be having a normal pregnancy...But what concerns me is the brief pain you describe that makes breathing difficult. You really need to be seen by a doctor to truly know what's going on.

You asked for more info on ectopic pregnancy...So here's a link to check out (i really recommend that you do):

you'll need to copy and paste this link into the address bar and change all the .C.A.Ps back to lower case for the link to work (the 'o' in .Org and the 'h' in .Html. :)
