Confused and Lost 4 Answers

Had sex right when my period was done which was wed most likely and then the Monday following I woke up at 5:00 am feeling STRONGLY like the flu when suddenly had a full on seizure. I was even waiting when I felt like the flu to throw up cause I knew I wanted to but then after the seizure my feeling like the flu was gone. Note the day before which was some where in the night but not to late like 8-9 had a 4 oz cup of champange that was it no drugs or anymore alcohal and always in the past on special occasions a little bit wouldn't do nothing to me. Its like just a sample amount that I would drink occasionally I went to emergency, they checked my brain, urine test for pregnancy, blood count, organs checked and nothing was found. I wonder if this could be explained with pregnancy. It is the only thing that makes sense!! urghhhhhh!! Had no seizures like that since, its crazy if am not pregnant cause I been feeling my body differently (not strong difference but something has changed about me since that Monday and can't put my finger on it.  With horomones changing once the little guy meets the egg am wondering if the alchoal made it go nuts making me result in feeling really ill having a seizure and then feeling basicly fine after?

In order to confirm pregnancy as stated, a home pregnancy test can give you initial confirmation.  We will now close this thread, no further posts please as they will be removed.

Chadwick's sign can be present in pregnant women and non-pregnant women. I know I get it sometimes right before my period starts. Also, as far as your cervix being closed, the cervix is only ever open during ovulation or when you start dilating at the end of your pregnancy. Your cervix otherwise remains closed, even during menstruation.

Low potassium causes seizures, even if it's low to borderline. Some people experience nausea and vomiting following a seizure. My thirteen month old daughter has seizures and she is extremely irritable and sick feeling for at least an hour after having one.

Most women don't have pregnancy symptoms until after their period is due. I didn't have any symptoms until six weeks, but there was months that I just swore I was pregnant due to how I was feeling. Pregnancy symptoms are 100% unreliable. Since you're due for your period you should be able to take a pregnancy test and get an accurate result. I do understand your hesitation and desire to just wait until your doctor's appointment to take a test. However, no one can tell you whether or not you're pregnant. All anyone can do is guess.

They could have gave you a blood test to see if your pregnant... Low potassium causes seizures.. And if u dont mind me asking exactly how did your partner see your cervix.. I no what it looked like and all but how did he see it???

If you're planning to get pregnant, it's best to start taking prenatals. So if you think you are, start taking them. There's no harm in it. Also, if you don't want to defend your position on here, just stop posting. There's no point in arguing. If you think you're pregnant, that's all that matters, not what everyone else says.

okay i hear that your getting frustrated, honestly i do... but you should be able to get a positive the day your period is late... i got a positive 4 or 5 days before my period was due... not everyone can get one that early but its most likely you would test correctly right now... even a dollar store test would show positive right now, so its not a big waste of money(cheap and they work)... im just saying that wouldnt you want to know before you pay for a Dr, if its still negative then its gonna be negative there too... sometimes periods are just late and to confirm it before going to the Dr would infact save you money in the long run... i know i said this before but no one is gonna tell you your prego, only a test will confirm this, and chadwicks sign can be seen ocasionally when a womans period is due.... yes its present in some pregnant woman but it doesnt mean anything without a positive preg test... i dont think this conversation is gonna go anywhere, i dont know what you want to know anymore than what everyone has said...it seems for every answer given there is no accepting any of them and you go on to say the same thing, and yes some may seem rude but i think this is the end as its gettin a little rough goin here and its best to stop... i wish you luck with the Dr and i hope you get the result that you want, if you dont please keep checking out the forums on here, there is lots of info and smart ppl on here that are willing to help... but anyway take care and again best of luck

Wow!! It was to early to take a urine test and to take a blood test, hence I probably wasn't even pregnant at the time cause I just had my period Dec 17 was my start date and it ended the following wed and the E.R. was Dec 26. I got all the test results on paper, this is why I know a lot more then any of you and it all is showing nothing wrong with me but now my period is due, not here and I have a bluish cervix with mucus, seen a pregnant cervix on a health site, in fact many and it looks just like mine, by the way my bf checked by opening my vagina, its closed to by the way. I don't know for sure any information and I don't want to take a test until at least 5 days or a little longer like 1-2 days more, so I mine as well wait until I get to the clinic, you see what I am saying or does anyone still not get the info? You all are just being disgusting with how your talking to me and its really not necessary! I was just thinking that maybe the flu like whatever it was could of been pregnancy but I doubt that now, thought it would of been cause nothing really explains it. I was found to be healthy, they sent me home, kinda worried cause I was having troubles walking with that medicine they gave me but I did and got home, ate plus rested, few days before the weekend of New Years, felt well again, not totally, felt off still but was strong enough to clean etc.. Now I shouldn't have to keep giving info, this should be enough to tell you what I mean and why I haven't taking a test, its better not to waste money right now since it could be not high enough or it could be so I will get it done at the clinic. (What I meant by wanting the best for my child if I am pregnant is additional vitamins that you can take with the prenatal but those are for IF your pregnant) The doctor needs to confirm pregnancy anyway to even say I am by giving me a test so why waste money when in this week I will be able to have it done by a professional.

You honestly sound like your trying to te everyone what your are and not when they are giving you advice that all seems...correct in your situtation. If the docs in the er would have been that concerned about u being pregnant they would have given you a blood test. And if your so convinced you are pregnant and so worried about being healthy for your child why haven't you taken a home pregnancy test ? It just seems to me your working all these nice ladies up and getting on there nerves cause they all keep telling you the same thing and your just blowing them off. So indstead of causing a riot take a home pregnancy test and tell us how it g

You know you got some nerve to talk like that and also you got some nerve to compare your pregnancy to myself. Nobody is suppose to do that and then say your not pregnant just by your thinking. What if I was some naive girl who would listen to you and not go to the doctor even though they should to be sure nothing is wrong and to confirm if they are or not. If they end up in a dangerous situation cause they actually were well its on your hands. Don't worry I will let EVERYONE know if I am or not and if I am well pocacoca I hope you grow up and realize your words can create a heck of a dangerous situation cause your way out of line with what your saying! The only advice or things that should be said is something in the lines of I think you may be or I am not sure but you should, you know somewhere in that context.

yes, a blueish-colored cervix is common in pregnant women, but the only way to know will be to test. I hope you plan to test today, there's no reason to torture yourself by waiting!

Please don't ignore the low potassium...you never answered whether or not they put you on a potassium supplement, but you're at risk for another seizure and in some cases worse if your potassium doesn't get back up to normal. It can really throw your body for a loop with painful muscle cramps, shakes, seizures, vomiting, etc...not something to ignore :-).

I'm not trying to say you're not pregnant. I just want to know HOW your boyfriend saw your cervix. All you keep saying is it's blue and covered with mucous, not how you saw it.

Does anyone not know that everyone women is different and by the way more mucus with the same look and consistency is on my cervix and its still bluish. sorry if that sounds rude but no one is really understanding. Oh and impeneding pregnancy, the cervix would have blood or reddish color, not bluish and mucus growing and covering the cervix.

As a matter of fact, I check my cm every day in the shower and sometimes I can barely feel my own cervix with my finger all the way in. Sorry of that's tmi, but I wanted to get my point across.

I still don't understand how your boyfriend saw your cervix. Your cervix should be 5-6 inches inside your vagina (on average), and the only way to see it is with a speculum and a flashligh. I don't know a lot of people that have a spare speculum laying around the house. By just looking at the vagina you shouldn't see a cervix.

I don't think they would have tested you for some of the things we are talking about. Having an EGD isn't standard procedure in an ER - however I am confused as to why they didn't do a pregnancy blood test if they checked for everything else. Did they express any concern or say it was possible?

low potassium causes seizures, and can affect menstruation and cause muscle cramps, pain, nausea, and vision disturbances....did they put you on potassium supplements?

I will say that I had a lot more pregnancy symptoms when I was NOT pregnant than I ever did in early pregnancy. As a matter a fact, I had none of them when I was actually pregnant, not until at least 8 weeks. That's all the ladies are saying, sometimes when we want something or are convinced of something we read everything as a sign of pregnancy...only a pregnancy test can tell you if you're pregnant or not. I was shocked beyond measure when I got a positive, because like I said I didn't feel pregnant in any of the ways people say you should. Being pregnant is different than I thought it'd be before I went through this experience.

Sorry just really wanna know badly cause if I am I can take precautions/vitamins/up my nutrition and if not I can finally go back to the gym.

Okay the thing you ladies don't get is that I been checked throughly for stuff and they found nothing but a slight low in potassium, THAT is why my mind is stuck on pregnancy until am proven otherwise by a doctor so am not like some teen who is crazy trying to get pregnant, am 22 and 23 in May and about to be married soon who may be or may not be pregnant, my bluish cervix plus clear with a little white mucus cover my cervix and two days late make me think I am and your cervix can turn that 2-14 days after implantation and I have a 27 day cycle. Sorry if I sound like I have a attitude but really trying not to, trying to get everyone to understand that it would be dumb not to think I am cause if I do that, then I wouldn't care about my body to go to the doctor, I just want to talk to people till Monday when I can finally call the doc.
