So my period has always been irregular about 49 days from start till next period. I had my baby girl in 2007 and in 2008 i lost my right kidney. I also have thalassemia minor. Since i lost my kidney my body has changed some. Now to the question, I had a period August 1, 2011 which was normal, but instead of my period coming 49 days later it came 79 days later October 18, 2011 that one was very watery like i had wet my pants. It only lasted a day or two. I havent had a period since. Starting the end of November I started feeling nauseous and throwing up until i would eat. So on my bday December 9 i took a pregnancy test that was positive YAY so when i went to the doctor he did a urine test that was also positive, but said that he needed to do a blood test to measure the hcg levels to see how far i am, that came up negative.So he said that i am not pregnant and wont do anything. but now here is the problem i have pregnancy symptoms still nauseous not throwing up anymore really, i have went from a b cup to a c cup, i have gained 5 pounds which is unusual for me because since high school i have stayed at the same weight except when pregnant. my boobs hurt from inside out, nipples are darker and some what hairier if that makes since, i am smelling everything that my husband and the rest of the family can not smell, my stomach is enlarged looks like i am pregnant and i am eating things that i never ate or could eat and unable to eat the things i could. and now i am feeling weird thumps in my stomach, at first i thought i was crazy but my daughter and my husband have felt it as well. with my doctor not seeing me i dont know what to do i have been told that with thalassemia and only one kidney that it could affect my blood tests. where i live i have to be referred from my normal doctor to see someone else idk what i should do or can do, can anyone help?

Hi!
You're right -- there's nothing like NOT wanting to get pregnant to improve fertility!  What I take that to mean is that you should probably try not to stress over it too much if you can avoid it.  In an average cycle, the egg is ovulated (released) between days 11 and 16 (counting the first day of the period as cycle day 1).  If you want, there are ovulation predictors that can help you determine the day a little more accurately.  If conception occurs, the embryo implants in the uterus about 10 days later.  This is when the pregnancy hormone production (hcg) begins.  Some home pregnancy tests can measure the hcg this early. (cycle day 21-26).  I usually advise waiting until the period is late before testing -- it saves a lot of money on tests!  I hope you get your wish soon!

tryin for a baby can be hard work,having intercourse so much May not help as its quality not quantity,you can get an early response pg test an test 6 days before your period is due.. good luck.
