I feel SO pregnant! (I've been pregnant 3 times before so I recognize the symptoms.) I am having a weird period. I don't know what to think. It looks pink and like mucus sometimes. (sorry, TMI!) Other times it's bright red (still not normal.)
I've had ALL the symptoms. When I'm pregnant I have a weird (swishing?) sound in my ear and I've been having that for a while. A couple days ago (after I pretty much accepted that I "wasn't" pregnant), I noticed I have swollen Montgomery's glands! And my areolas seem to be darker and bigger. Is there anything else that would cause that? And if I had an early m/c, why would that be happening now? (I had the neg. quant. blood test on 11/12.) But I'm still getting faint positives on hpts. (even pink ones now.) ??????
But negative digital ones.
I "want" to go get a qualitative blood test (and I HATE blood tests! I come close to passing out sometimes when I get them!) Still, I want to get one b/c I want to know am I pregnant or not. OTOH, I hate the idea of getting another negative. Still, I need to know. But what if the blood test is wrong? Well, I guess that doesn't matter.
It's uncomfortable for me to wear a bra now all the sudden. My ribs hurt (like my other pregnancies). My pants are tighter. My abdomen is growing.
I can smell everything way better lately. So why the negative blood test? Could these all be perimenopause symptoms? (Maybe no one on here would know that! LOL And I don't either!) I am 40.
I have been HOT in the mornings lately, I have more saliva now, food cravings and aversions, etc, etc.
I keep reading about women who test negative on hpts and/or blood tests until later on in pregnancy and I am just CONFUSED.
