    Question Possibly pregnant?

    Lately I've been feeling rather off and have had a very long list of symptoms. I haven't had my period in 2 months, am under no stress, do not take birth control, not crazily overweight. I've been craving meat a lot lately which is very weird since I've been vegetarian for 9 years. I've been bloated, gassy, dizzy, extra clumsy, my breasts have grown and are sore, certain smells are making me feel sick, my back hurts, I've gained weight, and I pee constantly. I've taken 5 home tests so far and 2 of them were positive and 3 negative (1 negative was this morning and 1 positive was last night). I went to the doctor 2 weeks ago to check and see if it's my thyroid but all results came back normal. She even checked to make sure that all my stuff is normal since I am vegetarian but it was. She suggested I wait until I would be around 3 months to come back and get a blood test. I'm going to wait another day or two to test again but I would really like to know now lol Has anyone else had this happen?

    I don't know why your dr. wouldn't give you a blood pregnancy test while you were in. It would be accurate if you've missed 2 AFs. My dr. accepts any positive as a positive. My only advice is to try another brand and make sure (like quadruple check) that you follow the directions to a T since they can vary HPT to HPT and everything from how long you pee on the stick to how long you wait to read the test can influence whether or not you get an accurate answer.

    Sorry I'm not more help! GL!

    I guess I'm a little confused. If you got a positive on a HPT, then yes, you are pregnant. Maybe get a digital test, it might help if you see that word "Pregnant" spelled out for ya! And then you can tell your doctor to quit screwing around and get you in for your new OB work-up!

    I wish she would to! Talked to her today and she said she won't be able to see me until the 26th so I guess I'll be waiting! I'm going to try and stop stressing. If it came up positive then I guess it is. I used 2 different types & I just got some more today!

    That's crazy... I'd go see another doctor right away and get the blood test done. I can't believe she wouldn't give it to you when you were there!!! That doesn't sound like the type of doc I would want taking care of me when I was pregnant!

    If you had positive tests, you're pregnant! However, with the negatives mixed in, it may mean that something isn't right. I had that happen when I had my chemical pregnancy and m/c.... you could have an ectopic or a tubal pregnancy, which can be life threatening to the mom if it isn't found and fixed! You really need to get in ASAP and get someone to check you out well! I feel like most docs would have done the blood test AND an ultrasound to check that everything is ok!
