Strange Symptoms... Posted: 06-25-06 11:00am
If I am indeed pregnant, my body is
keeping it a secret. I have been to two
clinics and two tests for pregnancy have
come back completely negative. I am
having dreams associated with being
pregnant, I am not under any undue stress,
yet my body is still acting as if my
second child is on the way. Why would my
abdomen continue to grow if there is no
child in it? I do not have ibs.
I am thirty-eight and had my last
pregnancy at twenty-eight. I recently had
myself checked for diabetes and that test
was negative. My nipples remain sensitive
in between cycles, and my breasts are
chaanging as if I were expecting.
What else could this possibly be?
Fraternal twins run in my family. Thought
you'd want/need to know. Thanks for
answering....

I still have my gall bladder, I am not
familiar with cushings syndrome, and to my
knowledge, have no family history of
stomach cancer.
I've set an appointment for a pap smear.
Will these questions be answered or
confirmed by it? All of this does not
address why my breasts would continue to
grow and my nipples are darkening. Thank
you for your answer. Are there any other
"problems" that might explain my symptoms.
It may even be ibs, yet I doubt it. I
don't show enough symptoms.
The "pregnancy" signs have been around
since 3/22/06 this was my last sexual
encounter and is the date the symptoms
started.
I know I am not premenopausal because
women in my family ovulate into their late
forties/early fifties. I am only
thirty-eight. I still feel stretchingdown
around my c-section scar. My son was born
ten years ago. Does this change the
diagnosis any? If it does/not, how?
Thank you for your continued support. I
highly appreciate it. Zoe cameron...

You need to see a gynecologist and get a
check up. Explain the missed periods and
the stretching. It is a hormone imbalance
that is preventing your period from
starting and the breast tenderness. You
never said whether you had your period or
not... I guess.. But a pregnancy test
would have come up positive by now if you
got pregnant on 3-22.
There are also cases of wanting to be
pregnant so badly that your body will
mimic pregnancy symptoms.

I looked up cushing's syndrome and I do
not show other signs of that disease. I
also would ot say it was pre-menopausal.
Women in my family tend to cycle into
their early fifties. I am only
thirty-eight. The only other thing I can
think of is an hysterical pregnancy.
I've experienced them ever since I became
a woman in the first place. I had to have
a doctor swear that I was pregnant with my
son ten years ago, because I didn't
believe him.
I've scheduled a pap smear for the 13th of
july. I'll take the symptoms to my doctor
to see what he says. Thank you for your
help; I appreciate it.

Thank you all who responded to "strange
symptoms" I will be at the doctors getting
a smear and possibly an ultra sound done.
It should clear up once and for all what
is happening, or not happening. I will
keep all posted. Thanks again,
