Negative blood test with Braxton Hicks and movement

I am 8 weeks from my last period.  My uterus is enlarged, with movement and Braxton Hicks.  All pregnancy symptoms except for nausea. Just had a negative blood test last week.  Tested negative urine test this morning.  I have two children.  Anyone else tested negative quantative blood test and was still pregnant?

I SWEAR I feel flutters but I've been feeling them for a while now.  The past few months they have been all day every day though.  I've had one child and she is 5 now, so I do have some expiriance with pregnancy(even though I know every pregnancy is diff.).  My periods are NEVER regular ever sense I've had my daughter and it's been three months now sense my last.  I did take a home preg test two months ago,  However a couple days ago I had faint brown streaking with side pain and back pain.  It's hard for me to lay on my stomach now and today I have a deep red(yet very little) blood when I go to the bathroom.  I'm SO frustrated with myself!  How can my body be telling me I'm pregnant if it's not true? Could I have a tumor or intestine problem?  


Side note: I've been seeing the doctors for the past few years to find out why my periods are abnormal and with all blood work and other test coming back normal. Still have no answers. So I'm worried whatever is going on with me is just getting worse and honestly maybe by letting it get worse, is the ONLY way I'll be able to get spicific symptoms to get a true diagnosis! :(

I'm so glad to read this!

I am losing my mind.  I am having all the pregnancy symptoms (extreme fatigue, heartburn, "pregnancy brain", hip soreness, etc).  My stomach even seems like its enlarging and I SWEAR I feel flutters!  I was pregnant 2 1/2 years ago and I know what they feel like, too.  In addition, today I just started having Braxton Hicks contractions.  I had those a TON with my son and I definitely know what they feel like!  I have no idea how far along I would be because I am only 36 days out from my last period... but the last period was REALLY light with some spotting in the middle, too.  My periods are normally like clockwork so this is all very weird to me.  I've taken two pregnancy tests (one last month with the weird period and one this month without a period) and they both said negative.  I just don't believe it.  Not at all.  I have an appointment to do bloodwork with my doctor on Monday.

One problem, though... I have an IUD... so, even if I am pregnant, I don't expect it to work out.  I am already prepared for that.

One more "weird" thing.... I hadn't received any "expecting" e-mail newsletters since I was pregnant with my son 2 1/2 years ago and a couple of days ago I got one that said, "Are you expecting?"  Creepy! haha

I will try to come back and let you guys know what I find out.

I have 4 children and have had 6 pregnancies and I too am feeling a baby move inside of me. Everyone says it is gas and if there is anyone that knows the difference it is me. None of my pregnancies have been very normal "by the book" pregnancies, but all the others have tested positive on home pg tests. I am not only testing neg on a urine test this week, but have also been having regular monthly periods, not necessarily lighter, but my periods are light anyway. I am going to try to get a sonogram as soon as possible. I'm glad to see that I am not crazy and others are feeling the same thing. I was not looking to get pregnant again, but would be happy just the same. Just need to know what's going on!

and im so glad to find others who experience the same because its sending me crazy arguing with midwives at hospitals and doctors to get them to do the blood check and sonogram since the urine test is negative, and they get annoyed and treat me like im a nutter!! saying it is impossible to be pregnant and get a negative test!! well funny how a baby appears a few months later!! i want to become an ob or midwife now, at least i wont try to bully other women away when they are really pregnant, i would do all the checks first.
