  • Hi guys, my last period was 18/12/2020, I have had signs and symptoms of pregnancy, but still no period. I’ve take several pregnancy tests and all came back negative. I have a blood test on 3rd of March, as just want to know now. I’ve been regular my whole life and it’s just made me really confused. Can 6+ pregnancy tests be wrong?
  • I have PCOS.(My cycle was regular during this time) Last year I had a baby on March 24, 2020. I kept getting negative since June until August I got a positive. She will be one soon. 😭 My period came back but now ...
    My last period was Nov 8, 2020. I have been getting negatives again. I don't know if I'm pregnant again or is my period irregular but I will be getting a blood test this weekend to see if I am or not.
  • I posted about 2/14/2021. Not much of an update. Just now that my feet and legs keep swelling and my blood pressure keeps going throw the roof if am on my feet more than 2 mins. (No joke. I have my feet up am find I go to the bathroom and come right back to bed my feet and left leg is 3-4 times larger than when it was when I got out of bed) still no period. My doctors don’t know what’s wrong with me they keep saying am not pregnant. But yet they haven’t done any blood test or pee test in over month.(my husband and I feel like with my history but pee test is a waste of time and money and it’s only going to stress me out) I go in tomorrow to doc for high blood pressure again cause it’s going up to 200/114(that was the highs and I did go get seen earlier in the week for it. Now it’s goes up to about 180/100 mostly but if I live in bed and only get up to pee it was around 130/98 today around there but that is laying down all day and not moving as little as possible.) ekg was “okay” doctors words he said not worry. I’ve also have been drowning in saliva today. 

    So oddly the only time I’ve ever had problems with blood pressure is when I was pregnant with my twin girls had to be put on med for it. But after delivering it went back to normal. And when I had my miscarriage years ago when I fainted.

    so also on Monday I see my doctor for a fallow up on if my period has started yet. (Last period was 11/26/2020) or about it was 2 days late and kind of short. I have a 21-24 day cycle have since I got my period when I was 12 years old. I have been late a time or two and have missed few periods before but always was from meds or stress and never for this long with out being on birth control. I’ll try to remember to update here if I find anything out. I only remember about this post cause someone made a new post and popped up in my email.
  • 12 days overdue for my period.
    Handfuls of BFN home and doctors tests.
    Negative hcg in my blood work.
    Have all the symptoms.
    I will update ASAP when something happens???? Thanks to all the ladies who posted. I would love to hear some updates to see how I could progress or just have patience 🤔
  • Update. Got my ultrasound done. :( no baby and my full blood work came back. Platelet court is high, white blood cells are high, red cells are low everything is wrong. I got back to the doctor on the 23th. No baby and I may have cancer it seems. All I know for sure is it doesn’t look like I have any babies coming anytime soon. All I know for sure is I have infection somewhere in my body and it’s bad. More test are needed but my mother law had breast cancer 2 years ago and is now finding cancer again it moved in to her neck, liver and belly and her blood work looks lot like mine. Fingers crossed it’s not. But it’s hard not to look at the numbers and see it.
  • Sorry to hear your going through such worry especially when it comes to your health & you don’t know what’s going on.

    I have exactly the same happening to me. 
    They said I had a really bad urine infection no symptoms. x3 I tested my urine which they said I had an infection but urine when lab tested came back normal. But my blood work was really high wbc and low bc. Took antibiotics and still my urine tested bad urine infection again no symptoms. I’ve had another set of bloods and everything looks normal now after 4weeks going back and forth to the doctors. I have nausea & feel dizzy, way too overtired, and bloated everyday I feel like this. And to add no period I had spotting for two days 20/2 & 21/2. I also worry a lot about my health because it effects my home life & work life. I’ve taken some time off to look into this and I try to only worry 1hr a day at 8pm. Women are so precious and we definitely need to look after ourselves I hope and pray everyone is healthy, happy, and 🥰 loved. Will update.
  • Am trying not to worry about it. Last month my blood test was only little off. Little high white blood cells and my platelets were just A little off. And everything else was good. A year ago everything was normal. I hope u feel better too
  • This completely happened to me . Close to the end of October I had terrible headaches , nausea where I’d get sick from smells , back pain and I constantly wanted to sleep . I took a few test because my friend who was pregnant at the time said it was all the symptoms she had so I did and they all came back negative but the symptoms I was having only got worst - come the beginning over November my period came and all my worries about being pregnant went away because of course I’ve heard you can’t be pregnant while having a period even though my grandma told me she had her period for 3 months while pregnant with my aunt and had no clue until her period went away one day . November after my period same symptoms came back , the sickness, the back ache and I started spotting light blood I took a pregnancy test again NEGATIVE . December comes and my period never shows I take a pregnancy test and there my big fat positive came , from my thoughts I believed I had to still be early in my pregnancy this had to be new when I went to the doctor I was further then I should have been . After a few appointments they asked a few questions because my baby was 5 months which meant I got pregnant in October they asked if I hadn’t known because of birth control which I was not on or if I had irregular periods I said no to all those questions it turned out my levels were too low and somehow my baby was still fighting to be brought into this world .
  • Wow an amazing story thank you for sharing. I finally got me period on the 18/3 of course relief was felt given at least I had an answer. But I also had an ultrasound on the 19/3 and everything seemed to look fine no baby though?? ❤️ But the images need to be sent to my specialist doctor with all my hormone test results and maybe get an answer to why this happened. Will keep updating 🙏🏼
  • Hello everyone! May I ask if you were on birth control when you conceived when you found out when you were pregnant? I am very curious :/ I've taken 9 pregnancy tests (all negative) and would roughly be around 12 weeks. I am on birth control and these last 2 months I bled heavy for 2-3 days on my normal period days then it went away. 9 tests in almost 2 months, could they really be lieing?
  • Hi everyone
    So I'm really looking for some help , I've had symptoms of pregnancy now for 4 weeks , I had two hpt that showed a very very faint positive line , after wanting to clarify with a gp after seeing these results and sharing the most amazing joy with my partner of us having our own little family, I was devastated to receive negative blood test results back . Myself and my partner are devastated 💔 . I'm showing every possible sign or pregnancy from morning sickness, back ache, spotting, cravings and aversions. I even have a bump at only what I thought was me at 6 weeks pregnant. I'm currently waiting on a scan and I'm hoping to see a beautiful baby on that screen . Please give me some advice on what to do xxxx
  • Hello all! So for the past 3 weeks I have been getting constant positives home urine tests on different brands/ well over 30 but when I go in for bloods they tell me I’m not pregnant and my level is 0. What could be the reason I’m getting all of these positives that seem to get darker by the day?
  • Hey Ladies, I'm hoping you an give me some advice. I have Pcos and I had a period in January and at that time I had been off bc for a month because I didn't schedule an appointment for my refills in time and thought I may have been pregnant. So I took several tests after I started having symptoms but they were all negative. I made sure to space them out to give time for the hcg to build up but nothing. (Had an immediate bold positive with my first) So I scheduled a Dr appt and she did a urine pregnancy test which I feel like is the same as a hot and it was negative. She put me on provera to start my period and bc. (If iwas pregnant i would have been around 8 weeks at that time) So I had a period after the provera but it lasted much much longer than it should have with the bc and I still had different pregnancy symptoms through all this and still am now. It's just weird because I've had times in the past when I thought I might have been pregnant but once I had a negative pregnancy test or a period it was like it went away and I moved on but for some reason I just can't move on this time. Idk if I really am pregnant or if my mind us playing trucks on me or what? How do I go to the Dr and ask for an ultrasound because I think I'm pregnant even though I've had negative pregnancy tests without sounding crazy?
  • Lexxii I have the same problems at the moment and even have a bump I demanded a scan from my Dr and I'm due to go for it on 5th of May after having 9 hpts  be negative and 3 with very very faint positives,  had 2 bloods tests first one negative and 2nd one showing abnormalities in the hcg . Put your foot down and demand a scan xxxx
  • Hello ladies needing some help.
    I have so many of the symptoms of being pregnant, but have taken multiple tests and most came back negative had 2 with faint lines. Also did a blood test and that also came back negative. I need answers because my boobs hurt so bad and my mom is convinced I'm pregnant, but everything is telling me otherwise except my symptoms. I got off birth control back in December and haven't really had a real period yet. What should I do?
  • Is anyone going through pregnancy symthoms and yet doctors think your nuts that everytime you ask for a ultra sound or something they look at you funny or just give you meds to try and solve some issue that the meds dont help because you take tons of urine and blood test for them all to be negative but you still have the same issues and they all point to pregnancy also when everyone tells you that you look pregnant or that you are and the doctors dont think so or will do anything about it.
  • can any one see the baby on this as Dr's think I'm nuts ?
