Am I pregnant?

[flowerr]

My last period was on December 15 2012, it lasted about 6 days it is now Jan 21 2012, about a week late. When my period was due, i woke up with a light brown spot on underwear, then nothing after that. My boobs are sensitive, i dont have cramps at all, but i off and on get a lower side pain (stabbing feeling), ive been feeling extremely faint, and tired alot. sometimes it feels like i have to throw up, but i dont. I have took 2 tests yesterday (Jan 20) both negative. Is it to early to tell? Has this happened to anyone? Please help. Any advice or feedback is really appreciated!

Hi how long are your cycles??

 

[flowerr]

My last period lasted 6 days, normally a 30 day cycle. I always get it around the 14th or 15th it was never this late

I didn't get positive home pregnancy tests (even the ones that say they detect early) until I was over a week late for my period. With both children. So, it is possible. Only early BFP was when I was pregnant with twins.

Either go to your doctor and tell them to check your HCG levels by blood test, or just keep waiting.

Good luck.

It should show up on a test if you're a week overdue.
Could you have ovulated late?

I would go and see your doc if you're still not getting a bfp and are usually regular. I hope its your bfp soon though.

Doctor says my late BFP's are due to low HCG levels. Something maybe caused by my hypothyroidism. It sucks and makes for a longer TWW.

This happened to me my period was due 4th january and i usually
get a normal 5 day flow.. and i had nothing then i had pink spotting the
day after then nothing and the day before it was due to stop i had black/brown
discharge barely anything.. no flow at all and i had :Bfn:'s i would
say go to the doctor like others said if you don't have a flow and bfn's thats
what i was going to do but im waiting for my next af to see what happens

 

[dizzy65]

maybe wait a few days andtest again if AF hasnt showen up.. i didnt get a positve hpt tell i was 2 weeks late.. the doctors tests are more sensive too so if your still late and getting bfn get a doctor one done

I got my early BFP today which make me worry about the twins thing since I lost my last seta 6 months gestation. With my single births, I didn't get BFP's until 21DPO.

Good luck to you!!!

LeighAnne - I was just diagnosed with hypothyroidism too. Well, technically I am not hypo yet, I have hashimotos, which is the thyroid antibodies present, so I am on Synthroid now...I do feel better though (who knew I didnt feel good before, ha!). Did you ever have issues with ttc and thyroid? My doc said I should be fine, I am just curious

And CONGRATS ON YOUR BFP! AMAZING!

 

[LeighAnne]

My hypothyroidism undiagnosed and untreated is the reason (they say) my twins went to sleep at 24 weeks gestation. It wasn't until 3 months after I delivered them that I was diagnosed. Hypothyroidism untreated can cause miscarriage. I am taking Levothyroxine. I need to call my doctor and make sure that my levels are good as I know that when you are pregnant you are supposed to up the dose.

I'm so nervous. My hypothyroidism (they say) also is what causes me to hyperovulate. I release several eggs, instead of just one. I will wonder until my first ultra sound if there is one or more....

 

[jchic]

Yes, I am on the same thing, which is Synthroid. Interesting! I wonder if you have 2 beans in there!

 

[LeighAnne]

Well, I'll tell ya this much... I am having that same "gut feeling" that I had the last time. Also, the early BFP and my belly already sticking out like I am way further along than I am. These are all things that happened with my twin pregnancy. Maybe its just a mental thing because that was the last time I was pregnant, but I can't shake this feeling. If there are two, dear Jesus, I am going to be a nervous wreck. I have to keep positive though. This time I am taking all the proper medication and am healthy.

Fingers XXX

I heard that keeping the thyroid in check is key. I was put on the same meds and go for my 3 month check up on Friday! Once monitored, I heard its very easy to manage. Fingers crossed for you hun! xx

I also have hypothyroidism (taking Levothyroxine, 75 mcg), and upon this month's check it was at kind of a high level of 13.5. My doc sent me to endo asap, prob to increase the dose. Do you really think it may cause low hcg level? I am 10 dpo today, already had one bfn two days ago, but dying to test again, of course.
