So I'm new here and I hope this is the right section to post this thread in. I'm a noob to pregnancy forums altogether haha!
So my symptoms have been only progressing and my body has been changing appropriately. IF I am pregnant, I would be 12 weeks now. At this point, I have had what I think is breakthrough bleeding at the time that my period is due and this has happened twice. Both bleeds were not at all like my normal period in so many ways, especially the last one. It was mixed with a lot of egg white mucus. My stomach has been growing and changing shape week by week and I'm naturally petite so this is very strange for me and it is hard all the time. I have had the very typical symptoms: a bit of nausea, threw up only once, extreme tiredness, forgetful, hard to concentrate, vivid dreams, even dreams about positive pregnancy test and having the baby a few days prior and breastfeeding. Bowel habits changed, recently my acne has been clearing up on my face, EXTREME hunger its ridiculous, peeing very often and waking up in the night to pee. I also had dizziness, lightheadedness. I've had a lot of the symptoms and the list I'm sure goes on but cant remember them all! Lol but the strangest ones that to me, ONLY happen when your pregnant are nipples seem to be getting darker, white bumps appearing on areolas, boobs seem to be bigger (but dont feel full or heavy), veins for DAYS! All over my body veins, veins and more veins! Light blue veins, dark blue veins, purple spider veins, veins in places I've never seen veins before! A lot of them pop up from my skin now! Theyre on my feet, bottom of my feet, ankles, whole legs including knees, hips, pubic area, chest, breasts, chest to arms and whole arms, wrists and hands!! Even going down the length of my fingers!
Also, a few weeks ago after a BM, I saw that I passed what looks exactly like a mucus plug, it had to have been a mucus plug. That happened twice within almost a week apart; the second time was smaller and the third time was just little pieces after only going #1. No cramps or bleeding associated with this.
So the veins and the mucus plug, especially in combination along with my growing belly, I believe, only happen to women when they are pregnant, right? So why are my HPTs coming back negative?? It doesnt help that my doctor doesnt seem anxious to help me out too much either and thats a whole other story! I did an HPT today and BFN and I will send my urine in to the lab for them to test. I dont know why he wont send me for blood test or ultrasound! Especially the blood test! He did do a doppler today and he found my heartbeat and as he was finishing up, he moved it slightly to the left where i heard a faster heartbeat from my own and he kept it there for 2 seconds and dismissed it.
So what do you guys think? Has anyone or anyone you know experienced testing negative on urine tests even though youre pregnant? Maybe even finally testing positive once you reach second trimester?
Sorry for such a long post and thanks in advance for reading it!!
