can't prove I'm pregnant?

[KelseyDEz]

Hi I'm 26 years old and been married for almost a year. My husband and I are trying to conceive but there have been issues. I got of bc pills in June and didn't have a period until December. I had lots of tests everything came out find and I eventually started, the bc thinned the lining of my uterus until it was so thin there was nothing to shed. I have not Hafez another ultrasound because ive had two periods. My first was Dec 1st and second was Jan 8th, so it's not regular yet. I feel pregnant I Havre huge sore hard nipples all the time, sorry if that's tmi, but also nauseas all the time especially around 5 am or so. I have acid reflux really bad, I've not thrown up. But pregnancy tests say negative.. I know exactly when the intercourse took place I have it all in my planner, I'm logging everything. So it would have beentbeen two weeks ago Fri. That weekend is when my ovulation calender sais I would ovulate but it's all speculation because no normal cycle yet. Is it too early to tell if it's 13-16 days along? I am starting to feel defeated' looking at all these negative tests. Please give advice I'm trying for my first baby. Also I bought ovulation tests and I'm not sure when to use them? That may sound dumb but I'm new to this. I also bought the special thermomiter and not sure if checking my temp now would be any help? Thanks for listening please share and advise!

Did you start your period? I'm so sorry, and I understand totally why you don't want to see another test again I'm there with you! Is your husband supportive? The day after I went to have my blood drawn I started my period so I was so mad at myself for wasting the money on having the blood drawn and the home tests I had bought. I also was so sure that I was going to get a positive I went and bought my husband a valentines day card that said Happy Valentines Day Daddy! My husband has been super supportive, but I feel like he is starting to think I'm going crazy and obsessed :( Another mom on here gave me some advise and to not think about (easier said than done, and I know it gets old hearing), but she suggested having short weekends away to enjoy each other which I thought was great idea. She also said that she had success with Vitex Fruit, I also heard that Evening Primrose Oil can help with fertility... I haven't done much research on either of these. I don't know anything about the ovulation tests, but if you aren't having regular periods I'm not sure if they would help or not? Maybe someone that has used them before could help out there??? The only positive is if you have started your period it means you can start trying again! :)

sorry :( your time will come.

Omg girl I do the same thing. Sometimes if I see something or someone says something to me about being pregnant I say to myself maybe thats a sign!  Lol. Yesterday this 47 year old woman came by my home asking for used clothes, bedsheets and baby stuff cause she is 7 months pregnant and has 7 kids!  My mom and I gave her some clothes and sheets but we didn't have baby stuff. When will our turn reach. ???

[KelseyDEz]

Well made a late night trip to Wal-Mart to buy pregnancy tests, took an equate brand that looked like a possible extremely faint positive, so then a couple hours later, just now, took an answers test, definitive negative. Then it looks like I'm starting, I'm about to flip, so if anything changes I will post about it, but seems to me I'm not pregnant. :*(
Seriously this can be the most devastating thing and I don't know if I ever want to take a pregnancy test again, unless it's guaranteed to be positive.

[KelseyDEz]

Never did the blood test, I couldn't seem to find a good time to go and then I talked to my husband and he didn't think it was at along necessary, he doesn't think I'm pregnant because I've said this before, but this time is different I think? I don't know :(

[KelseyDEz]

I know my friends boyfriend just got out of prison in June. He had been there for 2 years and then two months ago she says I want to try and get pregnant, she's now 4 weeks! I'd been trying since June! She knew it would upset me so she was being along apologetic but I'm happy for her, it's just people have babies who don't  necessaily want it or can handle it as well as others,  and it's the ones who really want it that have the issues getting pregnant..

[KelseyDEz]

I never went and got a blood test. Never could seem to find the time... I'm still hoping I'm pregnant, but trying to have reasonable expectations. I wish I had regular periods and then maybe things would be easier to understand. I haven't taken a test since early Friday morning, which is good, since I go through them like they're are fun and free. Congrats on being pregnant cc Clark. Happy for you. Kay I'm hoping you get your positive soon! This is becoming agony! My husband and I went out to dinner and I had two drinks and I look up at a sign in the bar that says alcohol in pregnant women causes birth defects. I've never noticed anything like that at a restaurant so then I'm thinking it's some sort of sign and I'm just getting crazy with it. I need to go buy more tests tomorrow and see what it says but I bet it's neg like always! Arg frustration!,

[Kaythomas22]

Was using my phone and double posted. sorry. One of the things that get to me is when people around you just seem to beat the odds and get pregnant without even trying! I have a friend who actually got pregnant for a married man! on top of all that she has pcos. Here I am married for 3 years doing the right thing ttc for 6 months and nothing! :(

[Kaythomas22]

Congrats on your pregnancy. What u are saying about being relax is very true. My dr told me the same thing. For me I am not stressed over not getting my bfp I just get really excited snd nervous some times when its close to week 4 when I can find out. I haven't been trying anything apart from the app to predict ovulation but if I don't succeed this month ill buy the ovulation kit.

[meganannrn]

Congrats CC_Clark! Im with Kaythomas... I try not to stress about it but when it gets close I get really excited and then either get my period or a negative :( I do get a little stressed when we hear from all of our family, friends and coworkers almost every day!

[Kaythomas22]

Aww congrats. Thanks for the advice. My Dr told me the same. Try to relax and not stress over it. The truth is I'm not stressing over it I just get really excited and nervous when I'm close to finding out.  I enjoy buying my friends stuff for their baby's and always imagine buying stuff for mine. Hoping and praying it happens soon.

[CC_Clark]

you ladies keep trying, my husband and I were trying to hard to get pregnant, but the more you stress about trying to conceive the more chances of not getting pregnant. Good news though, once I stopped stressing and thinking "I really want to get pregnant now, what ever it takes!", I just took a break from stressing and enjoyed my family and not putting too much energy to it, and now im 5 weeks pregnant. And if you have been on birth control (I was on mirena for 5 yrs) it takes a bit for your body to get on a schedule, especially with the fertility part...I know its hard because y'all really want it, but step back a bit and relax your body and energy and see what happens..I wish the best for y'all

[Kaythomas22]

Hope your blood test comes back positive. Everyday success gives me hope that my bfp will come soon. Don't give up or think negative. My husband is really supportive every time I get a negative. He always reminds me that we can always try again. Good luck to you.

[meganannrn]

Did you get any results today? I pray you got a positive!!!!

[KelseyDEz]

Another negative test, thought I'd test again since it's first thing in the morning. It's becoming obsessive and costly. In the last 48 hours ive gone through 5 tests, so now I don't Havre anymore which is a good thing I suppose. I am going to do that blood test today and put this to rest once and for all, well this month anyway. Wish me luck, I'm praying for a positive result and I hope some how I can get an answer today.

[KelseyDEz]

It's terrible, I am starting to think I may be ill or something. I feel like crap alll the time for 2 weeks! I'll be getting a blood test tomorrow and let you know when I get the results. I'm not optimistic at this point at all. Good luck to you and let me know if you find out anything or how to use the ovulation sticks, the instructions don't make sense to me...

[KelseyDEz]

I'm so sorry, I bet that's what is going to happen to me too. I just took another home test and it's negative. I track everything I'd be 2 1/2 weeks or so, it would have to show up by now. However so I stop wasting time, money, and depressing neg tests, I'll be getting a blood test tomorrow. I wish I would have gone today, now I won't know till Monday. I think something must be wrong with me, I feel so sick all the time. I'll let you know what I find out. Once again I'm so sorry, I know how awful this is!

[Rissa14]

The doctor put me on birth control for 6 months to put my period back to normal and it took me 7 months after I was off bc to conceive!  good luck(:

[Kaythomas22]

I feel so connected to this post. I'm also 26 and have been trying for my first baby for 6 months now. Its devasting getting a negative result when you have so many symthoms. I do hope you get your positive soon. I wanna start the ovulation strips as well. But don't lnow much about it.  Good luck to all of you TTC

[BarbieAnn85]

home tests usually dont show up til ur atleast a month pregnant

[meganannrn]

I didn't get the result that I was hoping for ... Came back negative :( I was so sure I was pregnant and was devastated last night! Now I wish I would just get my period so we could start trying again. I would still suggest if keep getting a negative and no period I would go have a blood test! If you have been trying for a year with no success most docs will be willing to start testing too if your wanting to start to see if they can figure out any reason why. Good luck to you I hope you get a positive soon!! If you have a blood test done please let me know what you find out!!

[KelseyDEz]

Thanks, I hope you get a positive result back! If you could please let me know if you have the chance. I may go get a blood test  too. I cant take this, got another negative tonight, but I could swear I'm pregnant! Maybe I'm crazy only time will tell I suppose! Good luck

[nichole75315]

I agree with AnnieBrooke.  You might also need some more time in between testing.  I didn't get a positive result until I was roughly 6 weeks along.  You could always try making an appointment and asking for a blood test :)
