Hi, I have posted before and I am not sure if this falls within the TWW but the symptoms I am experiencing I have never felt in my life.

I am 18 DPO, however I was not tracking my ovulation and this is an estimate based on my cycle, so I may be incorrect.

I started to feel pregnancy symptoms very early. It started with sore breasts, nausea, heartburn, indigestion, and the kicker is the dark areolas with tiny pimple like white bumps. I can also smell like the bionic woman, everything smells 10x what it usually smells, which is causing me to not want to eat.

Then I started to experience very weird, never in my life, symptoms with bleeding and blood clots. I took three HPTs, and 1 blood test at 9 dpo (which was BFN). I also had a urine test done at the urgent care last night, and that was a BFN; but, I still feel pregnant. I am starting to think that I am crazy, and it is really scaring me.

Here is a short breakdown of my recent symptoms:

*Last period was 5/9/14
*Tried to Conceive while ovulating (5/23-5/25)

12 DPO - Extremely heavy bleeding with tiny blood clots. When I say heavy, I mean I woke up and when I stood up a pool of blood expelled. (TMI? Sorry) I also had dizziness, cramping (pelvic/abdominal), and frequent urination, and dark areolae. Very abnormal for me, and I have never had a period like that.

13 DPO - Heavy Bleeding, not as heavy as the day before, but abnormal. Same symptoms as the day before, plus nausea. Bedtime hip/leg aches - painful but more flu-like than sharp prominent pains. Put a pillow between my legs and it helped.

14 DPO - Tremendously lighter, I didn't even need a panty liner, and by the afternoon I had no residual (even up near my cervix). Same symptoms. The frequent urination is about every half hour. Then that night I had some stimulation (clitoral, not vaginal) and I started to bleed bright red blood with tiny clots after and orgasm. (Sorry if this is TMI).

15 DPO - No bleeding, no residual near cervix. No cm (at all - not even watery or thin). Symptoms were nausea, dark areolae, frequent urination, indigestion, gas (excessive burping), pelvic cramping - left side, abdominal cramps, left leg cramps, sensitive nipples.

This night I experienced the same type of bleeding as the night before, the same way; however, I did go to the urgent care. They made me feel like I was nuts. The NP ended up telling me that I am not anemic and that I basically just had an irregular period and I should be lucky that I've gone this long without ever having one. I am not anemic, I don't have STDs, no outstanding medical issues.

This made me cry (bawl):cry: because I have never experienced anything like this in my life. I thought i may be symptom spotting, but then the bleeding, and my cervix is so high up that I can't reach it in any position.

Can anyone shed some light on this...I feel like a loon?? :nope:
 
Not too sure what could be going on. I would try to see another ob for a different opinion. PMS symptoms and pregnancy symptoms are extremely alike. If possible do a blood test or you may be having a phantom pregnancy where you can symptom spot so much you trick your body into thinking its pregnant
 
Thank you for your response, but I don't believe that its a phantom pregnancy. Yes symptoms can occur, but I've never read (or heard) about the bleeding issues i have been experiencing. I do appreciate you taking the time to answer my question, and I will be seeing a new OBGYN and my GP to follow up. It's just so bizarre.

Also, the blood test I took was before AF was due, about three days before. I'm not saying that I'm pregnant, but I am concerned with what is going on with my body. Each time i discuss my symptoms with a nurse, doctor, or search online, the first thing that comes up is pregnancy.

I am just wondering if there are any women who have ever experienced something similar to what I am. It's very scary and uncomfortable. Not to mention the great patient care I had at the hospital where they treated me like I was insane! :( I am a true believer that there has to be a medical explanation for what I am feeling physically.
