Am I pregnant? Is it worth taking another test?

My last period was Jan 2nd and I was due around Jan 30th. I got a urine test at the docs when I was 8 days late then did an hpt at 11 days late both were negative. On the 14th and 15th day late I got brown stains on my underwear the next day I went to a doc who was like "well if the test said negative then you can't be pregnant". She then examined my breasts by hand and said "no sign of pregnancy". That was last week, now I'm about 23 days late. For the past year my period hasn't been late by more than 2 days and even though there were other times I thought I was pregnant my period always came. I'm not dying to be pregnant but I believe I am. I've been feeling nauseous but thing is sometimes it goes for a couple of days then it's back. Same thing with my nipples, sore then normal. Backache, headaches, feeling really tired, sleeping alot then can't sleep at all. Couple of eople have been asking about my bloated belly. Since the brown stains were 2 weeks after my period was due then it can't be implantation right? Everything I read is saying it's supposed to be on or around or before your period is due. I live in Barbados and they don't see the need to do a quantitative test. It's pissing me off. They treat you like you're paranoid and keep saying it must be stress, stress, stress! Please help!

you could in deed still be pregnant. i had the same symptoms as you. I havent had a normal period since december 2nd of last year. my symptoms kept stopping like yours. but all the tests came back negative. they still have no idea what exactly is wrong with me. ive been through multiple tests and they say everything is normal. today i had a blood test done so ill find out with that but anyways, have a blood test done and if that comes out negative see a gynecologist for further testing.

Thanks! It's good to hear from people going through the situation or one like it rather than those who think they know it all! I'll take your advice redneckchick, that doctor is a waste of time. Lil_pea07 I hope you find out what the deal is ASAP. I hope you get the result you want! I am so drained right now just took a little nap. Oh yeah sometimes my nipple itch I don't know if it used to happen as regularly and I just didn't notice and it's like have a super nose, I smell things and they don't have to be nasty but they make me feel like "eeew" and then I spit til my mouth is dry!

Go back to the doctor and request a pregnancy blood test to check.

Definitely get a blood test done. You could be pregnant. On the other hand it may just be a change in your cycle. I'm ttc for 6 months now. I was 3 weeks late, headaches, dizziness, nausea, sore/tingly breasts, and a 'super nose.' Most often it would come and go just as you said your symptoms are doing. I went and found out I was in fact not pregnant. I had never missed a period or been late, but my body was just going through changes, and stress. Since I am ttc my doctor put me on meds to get my cycle started back up. There is still a good possibility you could be pregnant. I would find a new doctor and have a blood test done. If you aren't pregnant it could be medical issues or simply another one of those things life throws our way. Good luck. I hope you get the answer you are looking for!

Took a test this morning and it said no. 2 nights ago I was urinating every 20 mins, that was annoying esp. if being pregnant is not the reason. If I miss this one, that'll be 2. I feel as though my period's coming because I feel so wet but then when I look there's either nothing or there's a white, kinda thick discharge.

I don't know much about these things, but maybe you could be menopausal? No idea if I'm right, but you might be pregnant too, get another doctor and keep taking tests. Good luck with everything.

Menopausal? I'm 21, I know stranger things have happened but that would be SAD!!! I don't know how these blood things work around here, I don't know anyone who's done that. Maybe the 1st one I missed was just because I didn't ovulate and then when I finally did ovulate I got pregnant. Couldn't that be possible?

ok, as people have said, I would definitely see about finding another doctor. Hpts have been known to be wrong. Some women dont have their hcg hormones show up on a test until they are already several months pregnant.A blood test would be the best bet.(even blood tests can be wrong sometimes) If they refuse to do a blood test, get an exam done. a FULL exam. Feeling your boobs cant tell her if you are pregnant. Some women don't have any changes in their breasts for several months. Some don't even notice much of a change until after baby is born and they start to breastfeed. They do an exam of your breasts in the beginning of pregnancy to check for any abnormalities, etc. but that alone can not tell her if you are pregnant. If she does a full exam, she can look for things like an enlarged uterus, and the blueish purple tint to the cervix area that accompanies pregnancy(because of increased blood flow/volume) You could just be late, its possible. I once missed two periods then came on two weeks later. (was 21 also) so its not uncommon to completely miss a period or two, or just be late. However, its definitely something that needs to be further investigated. The heavy white discharge could be another symptom of pregnancy(provided it doesnt smell funky, or have an odd coloring to it. these could be signs of infection) I hope that you are able to find your answers soon. Don't take no for an answer, remember this is your body, and possibly your babies body.

CandyCat agrees: Thanks for telling me about the other possibilities and your experience. Also for acknowledging that I could be pregnant and I know how my body feels.
