Pregnancy Symptoms OUT OF CONTROL with Neg HPT AND BLOOD Tests!!!

[CoCoPeaches]

Hello,

I just turned 35 in Feb and last month I tried to get pregnant for the 2nd time. My partner and I are using a donor and have yet to see that positive we are DESPERATELY waiting for! We inseminated on Feb 17. From March 2-4th I had light spotting and assumed it was implantation bleeding at first but I am really not sure. My cycle is normally heavier and last 5 days, not 3. (Well, 1 day of light spotting, 1 day of heavier spotting and 1 day of light spotting.)

I have had a million symptoms: headaches everyday, EXHAUSTION, like narcoleptic level sleepiness, mood swings (never apologized so much to my love ), increased appetite, nausea after eating, weight gain, bloating/puffiness/fullness, CRAZY loud stomach noises, like there is a baby tiger in there, sore, heavy, huge boobs that don't want to stay in my bra. I mean, the list goes on and on!

If I am pregnant, I would be six weeks this Thursday, but four negative pregnancy tests and a negative blood test all say otherwise. I know some women can go through many negatives tests and go as late as 10-13 weeks before getting the BTP but really, this is driving me nuts! I have honestly been hoping to find evidence that I'm making these symptoms up but EVERYTHING I read points to the possibility of me being pregnant! I also have two friends that had their period while pregnant. This is too much lol.

Even my NP and her nurse said they had the multiple neg HPTs and a blood before getting their posiives - and one of them even went to the ER because she assumed that if she wasn't preggers, something was seriously wrong with her! 2 1/2 months later, she was more than 3 months pregnant!

Excuse me while I go walk into traffic....... HALP!!!

Am I pregnant or not?!?!?!

Thank you for replying!

We are trying again because I ended up seeing faint lines on the OPK test strips. Not pregnant #boo lol I asked for my donation with a medium strength line and the next day, I had a very dark line before and after insemination. I test twice a day. I feel really good about this month taking into consideration the positive OPKs and my EWCM. *fingers crossed *

I do not monitor BBT because I don't like that method. I monitor only CM and ovulation. I am 8dpo today. I have had a few possible symptoms like gross post nasal nastiness (but I am not sick), bloody nose and gums, sore boobs and bad headaches.

Hoping for that BFP this month!

I would be inclined to say you aren't due to all the negatives. Yes, some can have that happen but it's very rare. A negative blood test almost never happens if someone is pregnant as it measures the hch which is always there when someone is pregnant. I will say that early pregnancy symptoms are all due to progesterone which is always present after you ovulate, pregnant or not. As you are TTC you are probably hyper aware of those symptoms so it seems like they are all signs.

EDIT - saw you didn't end up pregnant that cycle, but while TTC we become so aware of every twinge and symptom that we go crazy thinking we are pregnant when it's just the progesterone.

It can take a perfectly healthy couple a few cycles before they have success, so keep trying!

Thank you for replying. I am 9dpo today and I have noticed that I have had other strange things happening this time - my of which have never happened before. I am much less stressed about this attempt because I feel like I have finally been able to pinpoint my timing.

But this time:

- I had a small amount of cramping
- I have been easily irritated
- I had a nosebleed
- my gums bled randomly the same day as my nosebleed
- I have been hot and sweaty for no reason, especially at night
- my nipples are extremely sore
- for fun I took my BBT just to see if it was a higher and guess what? It was - 99.17. I have not been tempting so I am not using this as an and all be all but I feel really good about this month.

I think you're right. Last month the I was over thinking and dreaming out!



It just feels different this time, IDK.
