The denial mile

I had a tubal ligation done 12 years ago. I have three children and each pregnancy was different. I have had a fluttering feeling in my lower abdomen and sometimes a strong thump. These acts usually occur after a meal, around 10 pm and around 11am. ( more than one movment). I also a feeling of pressure in my uterers. I am bloated and my hands and feet swell when I walk. I know this sounds crazy but I think that I may be pregnant. I cant tell if I have tenderness in my breast or not because I lost feeling in a majority of my breast from a breast reduction about 3 years ago. I have not missed a period but they have gone from 5 days to 3 days. I also had irregular periods during pregnancy with my son. I took a home pregnancy test and it was negative. I did not do a morning sample because I figured the HCG should be detectable at the stage of pregnancy I think I that I am in which would be 4-5 months. I had pregnancy symptoms off and on for the last four months but paid no attention to them because of the tubal ligation. Now that I look back at the symptoms of night sickness, fatigue, always hungry and headach, I am really starting to think. I did have a dermoid cyst in one of my ovaries about three years ago and my right ovary and tube were removed. This makes me more worried that my body has a mind of its own.

Ok, now my breast are sore and feeling swollen. I just spoke with a doctor online and he said he pregnancy is very slim because of the advanced technology in the past 20 years. It just seems odd that so many women are getting pregnant with tubal ligations. Being pregnant would not bother me either way. I just get worried when things happne. I have been to the doctor and she did a pelvic eval and it hurt when she put the speculum in and that has never happened. I am looking for an OBGYN now. I will take a HPT in 9 days my next period should be coming July 23rd.

It is hard to say, I think I would get into my gyn as soon as I could and get some things checked, it is possible that you could be pregnant.
