Am I Pregnant?

[dinkydoona]

Hi there

I regularly have my periods every 28 days however my last period was on the 12th April!!

I have done 5 (yes 5!) pregnancy tests that have all come back negative. I do not take any contraception and me and my hubby are trying for a baby. Does any one have any suggestions as to what's happening here? Thanks in advance.

I got a negative test when I was pregnant but think I must have tested to early and I bought a really cheap test, people say they work the same but I am not convinced.

I would wait a few days as your hormones levels double everyday if you are pregnant and buy a clear blue test and test first thing in the morning when you go to the loo. If that comes back negative then I would say you are not pregnant and it must be something else then contact your gp.

Thanks for your advice. I have used a Clearblue test and that came back negative. I think I may go and see my doctor as my periods are every 28 days religiously so I don't know what's happening.

The way I found out I was pregnant was from a blood test. I rang back for my results though the day after and spoke to the receptionist and she said everything was normal. I just assumed they knew what they were talking about. My hcg level was 2000 which is not normal but I didn't know. I persisted and finally got to see the doc I really wanted as I still had not come on my period and she took another lot of bloods and my hcg level had gone up to 20,000 in a week. I think she said anything over 25 is classed as pregnant but not sure ask them at your appointment.

I have made an appointment with my doctor for later on today so I will request a blood test. With my first child it came up on a home testing kit straight away however I suppose each pregnancy is different, I will keep you posted

OK good luck.

Did you get your blood test results back today?? What is the outcome?

Hi

The doctor was 'useless' as per usual. They didn't offer me a blood test even though I asked for one and their conclusion as to why I haven't had a period since 12th April is because of 'stress' even though I am not stressed!! complete waste of time however still no sign of period so I will wait till the end of week and do another test x
