Hello ladies
My name is Rachel, in a bit of confusion at the moment as to whether I am pregnant or not. Have had symptoms since April which have got progressively worse, done about 30 tests and still nothing. The other day I thought I had developed "come and go bump" but now it just doesn't go and it is hard with a visible bump on the left hand side. I have also lost my appetite and work colleagues are starting to stare at my stomach, and everyone is asking how I am (that doesn't usually happen)(not sure if I am just getting totally paranoid)! Doesn't help that I am a size 10-12 and have a totally flat stomach and that I got married in May and people are always commenting on how little I eat and asking "are you always that good". GP has been VERY unhelpful and suggested first that I have a hormone imbalance and then that I am having a phantom pregnancy- she refused to do a blood pregnancy test (or to check my hormone levels!!!) but tested me for everything else under the sun including liver and kidney function!
Taken matters into my own hands and booked in for a Scan on Friday morning, hopefully then I will know either if I am going insane or am in fact pregnant! My husband stated that I look very pregnant, which I would totally embrace if I knew I was pregnant! Oh and to make things more confusing I have been on the pill, antibiotics, changed the pill, stopped the pill as I was convinced might be pregnant and didn't want to harm the baby! What a mess
Anyway, rant over! If anyone has experienced something similar to this and then found out what was going on I would love to hear from you!

Welcome to BnB! Wow, you really are in limbo! I hope you get the result you want at the scan 
I think I am confused about the result I want, I will be very happy if I am pregnant but only about 6 weeks...if it turns out I am 4 or 5 months or something crazy like that I wont be very happy. Especially as I went back on the pill and was drinking alcohol as I had to get on with things if it was indeed phantom. Also I am on medication that I really don't want to be on if I am pregnant, so I really need to know! Just soooo confused!!! xxxx
