Death?

Yes, it's me again.
Unfortunately, because of my negative tests (2 negative HPTs and 2 negative vaginal ultrasounds and 1 negative blood test) I can't get an abdominal ultrasound to check for a possible abdominal pregnancy.
They all think I'm crazy but I have a feeling about this.
I haven't had sex since November of 09 and the last vaginal ultrasound was in early April and it showed NOTHING in my uterus which was reported to be normal.
March I saw a gynecologist and also had a negative vaginal ultrasound (four months)
Something is not right. The fluttering is not only limited to my stomach but my chest, legs, butt and back.
What is the rate of survival in abdominal pregnancy?

I really think that if your tests (including the blood test) were negative then you are 100% in the clear. The fluttering that you are feeling could be caused by many things. Have you thought about going to a family medicine doctor and trying to find another reason for all of the feelings that you are having? It could definitely be caused by poor circulation and it cause your arms, legs anything really, to kind of partially fall asleep and flutter... If it was an abdominal pregnancy (a pregnancy occurring in the actual stomach instead of the uterus right?) is very very rare (less than 1%) and I think that it would have definitely show in your blood work. I think you need to see a normal doctor and try to look at your symptoms as a whole and let them determine what is going on instead of assuming the worst thing. I hope you get the answers you are looking for =)

Thank you both, Nickie and Joy.
I've decided to wait and see if my period comes this month, which may or may not happen since it lasted over a month last month, then I'll go back in again.
I'll keep hydrated as suggested.
Hope you both have an excellent day :D

You can always get a second opinion with a new doctor. Most likely you have a neurological issue going on if you're having flutterings/spasms in your legs, back, etc. That is definitely not normal. Make sure you're staying hydrated in the mean time.

Hmmm... well usually you don't get a abdominal ultrasound until after the 12th week and since a baby starts in the uterus and the uterus stretches with the baby then that is more than likely the top reason they didn't do an abdominal ultrasound. I really do think that it is more than highly unlikely (like I said before less than 1%) that the baby is anywhere else. You definitely need to follow up with your family doctor and try to figure out what is going on especially if it is getting worse.... I hope you feel better soon =)

Thank you so very much for responding, Nickie.
Our family physician is actually the one who made me take the blood test. I've called him and both gynecologists I saw and none say it's necessary for me to have a general ultrasound of the abdomen.
