Hi,

This is exactly what I am wondering ... maybe my hcg levels were not high enough at the time of my first test.  I just have not been feeling right over the past almost 2 mos. but, have not taken a second test yet because I don't want to be dissapointed :(  However, at this point, I need to figure out what is going on because whatever is causing my symptoms.  I need to be able to do whatever I can to ease them as I find it draining to function like this!  

I had gone to a walk-in clinic and the doctor said that normally there wouldn't be a cycle if pregnant  but, she did also indicate that it might have been too early to take the test.  So, anything is possible, really.  I'll find out soon enough ... if I am, it would be about the 2mos. mark when I take my 2nd test.

A friend of mine also said she didn't test positive until her 7th or 8th week.  Too bad it can't be simpler, hahaha.  The waiting game is terrible!  LOL

Hi,

I don't have any answers for you but, I saw your post and have to say that I feel like I'm in a similar boat.  I did have a test done after 4 weeks which came out negative.  This was after my cycle which did come but, was much lighter and shorter than usual.  I spotted super light pink day 1, bled smaller amount than normal for 2 days and then spotted light pink for 1 day.  This cycle has now happened twice.

Physically, I feel different among a few other things.  I've lost some of my waist, my abdomen has changed slightly and I can't suck it in the way I used to (lol! - maybe coincidental timing of general weight gain, dunno), I was feeling nausea symptoms but, that's mostly gone away (but not entirely) and that's just a few of my changes.  

I'm not sure what is going on and whether there is a chance that I could be pregnant and that my test was taken too early.  I am going to see my doctor this week and see what he has to say about what is going on.  I'm hoping that what I'm feeling is not an indicator of some other type of health issue :(  Since I have Crohn's, anything is possible.

The best advice I can offer is to get a test done to confirm either way.  I'll be double checking at my appt.. :)  If anyone else has experience with this, I'd also like to hear about it!

I am getting pregnancy symptoms( tired,nausea,the smell of food). My period is usually 4-5 days long. My period is always heavy! This month my period came ontime but unusual. The first two days was very light redish pinkish color. Then I had it heavy for 1day. Then it went back light again. My period is down and still feel the pregnancy symptoms. Am I pregnant?

Well, it's me again,,,,,
No cycle this month, 4 days late.....I am 44.  Hubby is in Iraq. The last we were 'together' was August 6th, that's was day 10/11 of my cycle....
Urine test as you all know was negative, so I let it go.....
Now having had cycles that were 24-26 day that last 6 months, it looks like menopause is here.
Going for a yearly check next week, and make sure all my levels, LSH, FSH, estrogen, estradiol, testosterone (yes, we have that too lol)  did I miss some?  Anyhoo, this is the end of my journey.  
We had help conceiving our two little ones and always hoped for a miracle.
The good Lord had other plans.
Many baby blessing to you all and when in doubt, have urine test done.  If still not satisfied have a QUANTITATIVE HCG blood test done.  This checks the amount.  QUALitative checks if any is present.  

Happy Baby Making to Everyone! Wishing you all well :)
Peace and Blessings <3

After 2 years, you may ask your doctor for Clomid. They will test all your hormone levels first to decide if you need this.  Our two children were conceived with Clomid, followed by an HCG shot (timing is crucial) then IUI on ovuation day.  and bingo!  It worked twice :)  Movement usually is not felt til around month four, some a little earlier.  Best Wishes for you!  oh yes, don't smoke or drink and stay away from caffeine and any aspartame products--both partners!

As for my post:  The reason I am a bit concerned is I am 44 years young, my husband is in Iraq, and this would be a miracle!!  
As for ranting LOL my hubby is an ICU nurse :)  He get so disappointed at nurses who think they can assess a patients pschy...

Peace and Blessings <3
Hoping for a miracle for you
