So confused...

[RissaB]

In October '13 I had a miscarriage at the end of my first trimester. With that pregnancy, I remember having no doubts I was pregnant before taking a test. I remember getting what felt like period cramps but it never came and my breasts were so unbelievably sore. Now here I am almost 5 months later and I can't figure out for the life of me if I'm pregnant or not. For the last week I've been peeing SO much I can't stand it, but it only seems to start when I lay down. I can be up all day and not have to pee more than normal but as soon as I lay down I feel like I'm back to the bathroom every ten minutes and my urine has a strange smell. I have this constant feeling of hunger that doesn't go away after eating and even though I feel so hungry,most of the time I have no desire to eat anything. Nothing sounds appetizing. I can't seem to get myself to fall asleep and I get bouts of nausea but no vomiting. I've taken multiple tests and all have been negative. I've considered a uti but I just had a uti 2 months ago and this doesn't feel the same either. I've also taken 3 uti tests at home and all have come out negative. I have also considered diabetes but I would think if it were that I'd have to pee in any situation and not just when laying down. I'm now 2days late for my period but I've never had regular cycles to begin with because of pcos. I've read pregnancy symptoms are impossible before implantation but I haven't had the cramping like I did the first time that would imply implantation has taken place and for that reason I have doubts of being pregnant. Nothing seems to be adding up, yet I can't shake the feeling that I might be pregnant. I know I should consult my doctor and I'll be making an appointment asap but not knowing is driving me crazy and I guess I'm just looking for some advice. Ever since I lost my baby I've just felt so empty and unfulfilled. And the thought of possibly being pregnant again is really scary yet exciting. I'm so afraid I'll miscarry again but at the same time i'd love to be pregnant again. Trying not to get my hopes up but it's so hard not to.

TAKE A TEST! REPEAT IF NEGATIVE AFTER ANOTHER 5 DAYS! That's the standard advice. I hope you get a positive, hon, I know the feeling of emptiness after a MC.
