Hi ladies.
I am a mother of two (10, 3) and this is the first time I have ever posted on any forum, period. I am nervous and this situation is worrying me, I need some straight, honest perspective!
Ok, about two weeks ago, my period was due to arrive and it didn't. I should tell you I have been diagnosed with PCOS but a few months ago started taking iodine supplements, which greatly helped regulate everything, and my periods for the last months has been fairly regular (off two or three days, 4 at most, but mostly quite regular). So when it didn't arrive after 4 days I thought I might check. I took a hpt and there was a very faint line. I thought I was imagining it but I asked people to take a look and they all said there was a line. Took another the next day and same thing, faint positive. Yet another day later took one of a different brand and it was negative. I became obsessed and took another (not early morning) and negative too! I was confused and thought, ok was that first brand out of wack? Tried that brand again the next day and again!!! Another very faint positive, (I followed instructions and read within the time frame).
Went to the Dr, told her about all this and she did another generic hpt test at the office during mid-day, and it came out negative!!!!! I was stunned. She told me it could either be too early to tell, or a chemical pregnancy. She said to wait 5 days and if I didn't get my period on Friday (last week), to go back to her. Fast forward today, Sunday, a few days after Friday, and no period. I took a hpt (again), that was the same brand as the initial one, and still very faint positive! I am sure there is a line, I am definitely not seeing things. But what is going on???? It is worth nothing that I did not take any digital tests, they were all pee-on-a-stick and dropper-in-the-window tests.
What should I do? I know the most logical step is to do a blood test as soon as I can, but can anyone give me an insight??
Thank you so much, I don't know who else to talk to about this, don't want to distress anyone in family.
