im 19, soon to be 20, and have been dating the potential daddy for two years whom i plan to marry as soon as i am done with school. so yes i am young, but in a stable relationship where a child would be welcomed, just not expected this soon! i would be just hitting 9 weeks if i was one of the rare cases of the late false negative results... i would love to hear your stories of when you found out you were or similar symptoms to what i am having. feel free to be brutally honest!
i have been taking birth control pills faithfully for several months for contraception, as my periods have always been like clockwork. there was no change in regularity after starting my birth control. anyways, i was on antibiotics for a couple weeks and the only backup method used was withdrawal (if you even consider that a backup! lol) i am sure that we had sex during my most fertile days because we had sex every day the whole month with the exception of a day here and there. i started bleeding a few days after my period would have came, but it was heavier and only 3 days long when mine normally is 5-7 days long with only one day of heavy bleeding on the second day (its pretty similar each month)
i temporarily thought i was pregnant because it was a couple days late but disregarded it because i didnt miss a period. i carried on my merry way when a week after my "period" ended, i started getting terrible stomach aches along with diarrhea. sorry, im going to get detailed so that you know everything! i thought i had food poisoning i was so miserable for about two weeks. this has continued until now, about a total of three weeks. around this time (would be 6-7 weeks) i noticed i had lost a few pounds, likely from dehydration and the stomach trouble, yet my stomach was very bloated. along the way i have become increasingly tired, noticed lower abdominal pressure which isnt painful just slightly uncomfortable, extremely turned off by all food unless i see a picture of it (which sucks because i am not hungry until i watch the food network or see an ad on tv!!) smells do not disgust me but i have noticed a huge increase in smelling things from long distances away. i tracked down the smell of bleach from rooms away from the bathroom that had been cleaned the day before. its not bothersome just very different from my typical non-existant sense of smell! last week, i started becoming extremely dizzy every time i stood up or was standing for long periods of time, and it is much worse when it is even remotely warm in the room. i have tried changing my diet to relieve this but nothing has helped. my nipples have become noticeably lighter and puffy, which i thought was odd. just a few days ago (now going on would be 9 weeks) i noticed that the veins in my hips, lower back, and lower legs have become very dark and in small sections look very close to the surface. dizziness also seemed to subside slightly. i also started bleeding at my would-be second period but the bleeding was very strange. it was again three days long but this time it was brown with a couple hours of bleeding then it would stop, and a few hours later it would repeat. it was not enough to fill a pad or tampon but enough that i needed to wear one. again, sorry for details.
after my mom noticed i had been urinating almost every hour, she made me go to the doctor to be tested for a uti. i was told that there was no blood present in my urine, but there was one strain of bacteria that she could not detect the reason for, but all in all she came to the conclusion that it was not a uti that i was suffering from, but gave me antibiotics anyway to clear up the strange bacteria. she also suggested i take a pregnancy test. by the way, the medicine is now finished and hasnt helped my frequent urination or abdominal pressure at all!
which i had done several times! starting at would-be 6 weeks, i have taken a total of 8 HPTs and 2 in clinic urine tests. after my last clinical test, the nurse said it was negative but suggested that i go to get a blood sample since i had so many symptoms. she also told me that my urine "smelled pregnant" and was surprised when it read negative. first of all, i thought that was really weird, and i had NEVER heard anyone say hcg can make your urine smell. but anyway, this freaked me out enough that i went to take a qual blood test, which came up negative, when i would be 9 weeks.
so i dont know what is going on with my body. i have had no nausea and my breasts are only slightlyy tender. everything seems to be pointing to one thing, but then again there are so many suggesting that there is absolutely no way. i know that everyone thinks they can be that "one rare case" but i guess i just want some opinions. have any of you tested negative on blood and urine tests and later found out you were pregnant?? i know that i am not making up my symptoms because i already thought that i wasnt pregnant cause of the bleeding. only a few weeks ago did i really think that i could be. i would not be upset if i was or wasnt....i just want to know!! it is so hard not knowing, especially when everyone tells you youre crazy!
thanks to those who actually took the time to read this book!
