I have a lot of experience in biochemistry, and I have performed countless assays in my life, but I can't figure out a pregnancy test to save me. I have been pondering this alone for days, and I need to get out of my head and get some other opinions, so your help is very much appreciated. I have a lot of "evidence", and so I will just list it to try to be concise. Not likely, but I will try.
Not pregnant:
-I have an irregular cycle, and hypothyroidism (being treated and hormone levels are normal)
-I would be about 7-8 weeks (irregular cycle, so not completely sure)
-I had my period (it was lighter and shorter, but definitely a period)
-I have had 2 negative pregnancy tests (first response, pink dye, from the same box. I thought one was positive, but I think I stared at it so long that my brain invented the line)
-No morning sickness (slightly nauseated on occasion, but could be from heartburn)
Pregnant:
-I had three positive pregnancy tests (rite aid, blue dye, looks suspiciously like evap lines, but read within 10 minutes)
-My boobs (especially nipples... tmi) have never been this sore... ever. I am pretty sure they are getting bigger too... which sucks because I have a hard time finding bra's as it is. I mean they are sore all of the time.
-I have heartburn every day (and other symptoms that could be attributed to this or pregnancy... eg. gas, excess saliva... sorry that gross)
-My lower back hurts, which it never does.
-I am pretty chill and logical most of the time, but lately I have been incredibly close to actually going crazy on people for no reason whatsoever.
After writing it all out, I am even more convinced that I am not pregnant. Its more that my body feels off... but I had my period and a negative test at about 8 weeks. I know I should just go to the doctor. Any negative at 8 weeks is pretty telling. Right? Ahhhhh...
