Hi Ladies...

I'm very confused!

I had my last period on 6 July (only blead for 1 one day and had spotting the following day). No period in Aug, so did a home pg test on 14 Aug and it was positive.

Had my first Gynae appointment on Sat and I'm only 6 weeks??? I've felt pregnant for ages, although the symptoms have subsided a bit.

Also... I have 2 placentas - so may be expecting twins! Didn't even know that we had twins in the family... aparently my gran's sister (on my mom's side) had 17 children and most of them were twins.

Talk about mixed emotions! I went in thinking that I was 11 or 15 weeks pregnant, only to find out it's only 6 weeks and maybe twins. I have to go back on 3/10, she will only then be able to tell me when the due date is.

I'm feeling very emotional today, I just want to cry :( I'm really happy that I'm pregnant, but also very confused...

Quoting Trina:

Thanks, Lisa that really helps me to know that I am not losing my mind. I have a doctors appointment at the end of next month. So hopefully they will be able tell me what is wrong with me.


Your welcome.



 



I still think its the hormones leaving your body. If still no period when you go in and you are trying to get preggo, they should be able to give you a shot that will bring your period on. Hope it works for you and you get all those symptoms figured out and you feel better physically and mentally!  Good Luck hun.

Elmarie,

ANYTHING??? Hoping they answered some questions for you, but again, let me know if there is anything I can help with!

And Trina - If you have been to the doctor recently, and had blood work for pregnancy hormone and they said it's negative, then you are not preggo. Blood work does NOT lie. Home preg. tests can lie, there is no way to lie with blood. Your symptoms may be from your body getting used to NOT having extra hormones in it. If you were preggo, with 7/22 last period, today (9/23) you would be a day shy of 9 weeks and would be due right around 4/27. I don't think your crazy. Just wait a little longer and still if no period, head to your doctor and get a progesterone shot.

GOOD LUCK to both of you!

Hey, I got a question for you I have not had a cycle since July 22, 2009, I have taken three HPT and went to the doctor for a blood test and they all have come back negative. I have been off the pill for about two months, I feel sick sometimes, my nipples are aching and I feel like I got worms in my stomach. Could I be pregnant or just crazy?

Elmarie-



Hi. I am hoping to help a little. I used to work in a OB/Gyn. office and per my little wheel (preg wheel) if your first day of your last period was July 6, then today (9/22) you would be approximately 11 weeks. Puts you with a due date of April 12. Per their results with 6 weeks on Sat. means you would have gotten pg on 8/21 but if you got a positive on the 14th, I think they are off! I would be asking them lots of questions, and they should have told you already if you were having twins. -- You are right, nothing adds up. Oh, and per them, your due date would be May 13. - You may have to wait for another US appointment, but I would call still in and see what they are thinking. Let me know if I can be of any more help to you with my 'wheel.' Good Luck and let us know!
