Hi,
I am 28 yrs trying to conceive for the past 1 1/2 yr... I have beeen to the gyn 6 months ago for a check she told everything is fine and asked us to continue our sex life... she prescribed folic acid which I'm taking for the past 3 months or so... well now the issue is my periods is 12 days late, usually my cycle is 30 days and has been late once for not more than a week. I did 3 HPT's one on the first on 6th, 2nd on 8th, and the 3rd on the 11th day... all were negative. As I have been reading a lot about these questions I found out probably the HCG is low so it comes negative... well so today at the pathology I got urine and blood test... the result of blood test would come in 2 days but urine test said its negative... im very depressed I don't have any symptoms of preganancy... and of periods... although there were cramps on my thighs and stomach a few days back which lasted for not more than 15 minutes I thought my periods would start but nopes have showed yet... can anybody please help me... I need an advice please...

Need someone's advice plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz help

It could be your period is just late this month... or you may skip it altogether... it happens sometimes, even if you have been regular before. See what results you get from your blood test. If not pregnant, it may just be a matter of more time, but since it has been over a year, you might ask your doctor about some additional testing for you and for your husband.

Thanks for your post,
Well let me start my story, on 30th of march I started with my periods which lasted for 4 days, I had been started using BBT as me and my husband have been planning since 1 and 1/2 yr, but I didn't knew that BBT has to be taken before getting up from bed... I used to always take it after pee... but it fluctuated and had 2 high temp 1 was on the 15th day of my cycle and the 2nd was on 26th day of my cycle that is 24th of April 2010. Earlier to 24th my temp used to go dropped till 96.4 and know my temp has been constant 97 or 97.2... till date... my periods have been late for 15 days so I went on the 42nd day of my cycle that was 10th of may got blood and urine test, it came out negative, blood test was <5 ml... then my question to the gyn was why I didn't get my periods she did a test something similar to songraphy I guess ultrasound... and told me its nothing... what do I do now, I wanted to know whether Am I pregnant and after how many weeks can you see something in ultrasound because my friend told me I cld be pregnant as in ultrasound it doesn't shows up so early... I need an advice sorry for such a big story.

Unfortunately you won't be able to go by the temps you had used before since you had been up and about prior to taking them. Temps naturally fluctuate at different times of the day, with activity, etc. this is why using BBT needs to be done the same time each day before getting out of bed. It usually takes a few months, at least, to notice some sort of pattern in order to use it for determining when you most likely ovulated. Again, it doesn't mean you actually did ovulate, only that your body prepared to ovulate.

It would be too early just yet to pick something up on the ultrasound. Sometimes by about 5 weeks they may notice changes, but it can just as easily be missed that early.
With a 30 days cycle, you are either late or have missed just this one period. It may just be an off cycle, but see what happens when your period for May is due. If you are indeed pregnant, you will likely know at that time. Some doctors don't even do blood tests until a second period is missed simply because it is not unusual to miss one here or there for various reasons.

Certainly if you feel you are having other potential pregnancy symptoms, try another home test or let your doctor know. Since you are trying to get pregnant, you are probably already taking care of yourself the same as if you were pregnant... eating well, avoiding things you know are unhealthy, taking your prenatal vitamins, regular exercise, etc.. Again, if you go much longer without becoming pregnant, ask about having some testing done for both you and your husband.

Fingers crossed for you that if it doesn't happen this time around it happens pretty soon.

Thanks for your wonderful advice... yeah I'm taking folic acid VITAFOL 5mg everyday once in the night do I need to take anything more? I have kept my fingers crossed lets hope so things work out for us... Thanks a lot once again

thanks for your wonderful advice......yeah im taking folic acid VITAFOL 5mg everyday once in the night do I need to take anything more? I have kept my fingers crossed lets hope so things work out for us.....Thanks a lot once again

You may want to speak to your doctor about Vitafol-OB prenatals. They contain plenty of folic acid (1mg) plus other vitamins and minerals. The Vitafol 5mg is just folic acid and more than is necessary when trying to conceive or when pregnant. (exception might be if you had already had a child with spina bifida before) Are you taking it due to an anemia or as just a prenatal?

I'm taking it for a prenatal I had been to a doc 5 months ago so she prescribed me for concieving, if I am pregnant just wanted to ask is this sufficient as prenatal vitamins or need to have anything more with this because I don't have any dr here as she has given me an appt directly in June... if a woman is pregnant does she need to take Vitamin B and C tablets as well...

A good multivitamin would be good if you feel your diet is not sufficient to be sure you are getting an adequate amount of many vitamins and minerals.

Can you please tell me any multivitamin which is good during pregnancy, although my diet is good but still,. at home I have capsule vitamin B-complex and Vitamin C Tablets as well... and the multivitamin tablets should be taken with vitafol 5 mg?

I appreciate thanks for your lovely advices Doulal C...

Its quite possible that you ovulated late, or haven't yet. If that is the case, your blood work would be negative and an ultrasound would not show a pregnancy. Before 6-7 weeks gestation, ultrasounds are not generally recommended.

BBT are no longer accurate once you've gotten up and moved about - even if your routine is consistent every day. I'd recommend ignoring those temps from when you got up to use the restroom and start over after your next period.

If you are pregnant already, time will tell. If you're period doesn't arrive in a weeks time, test again.

Thanks for your post I finally got to speak to a gyn... he told me to get a blood work done again on Monday... well just wanted to know <5 mUI/mL is this negative or positive? Well sorry I mentioned it wrong I came to know it was ecography not ultrasound... can you see anything in earlier weeks in ecography..? Yeah I know if I'm pregnant time will tell but now I'm all the more confused whether its pregnant or no...

I don't know what may be available where you live. If you can get the Vitafol-OB that would be a good choice. Here is one site that gives you an idea of what to look for when you look at what is available in your area:

vitamins in pregnancy (http://www.americanpregnancy.org/pregnancyhealth/nutrientsvitaminspregnancy.html)

For curiosity just wanted to know < 5mUI/mL is this positive or negative

For curiosity just wanted to know < 5mUI/mL is this positive or negative

My period was regular with first child and I did a test 2 weeks after and was positive then when I tried with our second it took a year to conceive and I never got a clear test until my period was 4 weeks + late :)

for curiosity just wanted to know < 5mUI/mL is this positive or negative

Less than 5mIU/ml is considered negative. If still no period this month, try another test. It may have been too early when the test was done or you may have just skipped a period.

Thanks guys, it has been 18 days since I haven't got my periods yet... some clear watery discharge has started appearing on my pants what could be this periods or pregnancy?

It's possible it could be from pregnancy, discharge does increase for some women. Might just be an increase in vaginal discharge, which changes throughout a cycle each month.

Have you tried another pregnancy test since your first post? If not, that might be something to consider.

Would be going for a blood test on Tuesday... getting very scared wats going to happen... can v have sex?? because we have stopped having sex actually because we don't want to loose this chance... the discharge is since 3-4 days its clear watery discharge as if I have pee'd in my pants. Today when I had been to the rest room in the morning after my first morning pee I saw a drop of something like mucus which was white... am I ovulating or is this pregnancy symptom?

Unless your doctor has told you not to have sex, which is sometimes recommended for a history of repeated miscarriages, sex is fine to continue. If it makes you feel more comfortable to wait, then certainly wait until you have your next blood test.

The discharge could be from pregnancy, sometimes it is a creamy color in early pregnancy, or perhaps from ovulation, which usually is more clear and fluid... in which case having sex would be a good idea... :)

It really is a matter of waiting to see what results you get from the blood test. Are you able to buy a home pregnancy urine test to take before then? That may be an option too. I know it is hard not knowing for sure... wishing you much luck!

Well the insurance company is giving me a late date for an apt with the doc its on 26th of this month...
Yeah we can afford to buy HPT in fact I have it at home but the problem is here in fact the chemist also said me that it's not that accurate... well tom I'm thinking of doing HPT at home again but the only thing bothering me is that white discharge,, so either I'm pregnant so that's not a problem not having sex... but if I'm not I'm missing this chance as well... I don't know which game god is playing with me...

Its been 19 days late with my periods... with a 30 day cycle... no periods yet, today again I did HPT no wonder as expected -ve HPT... dont know watts wrong... blood test would be performed tom... I hope it solves the mystery... HPT is of CIPLA - Pregtest is this accurate?

??

It is negative for pregnancy

Thanks but still my periods haven't come 19 days late with 30 day cycle

It still may be too early in the pregnancy to get a positive result if you are pregnant.

Even blood test?? Might be... just waiting for the positive time and reply... since 3-4 days there had been some clear watery discharge in my pants as well... was just thinking and confused whether I'm ovulating or is this pregnant symptom?

Yes, even a blood test.

Sometimes we miss a period for no apparent reason. This may be what is happening to you.

But I guess below or less than <5ml is negative right... and mine is <5ml that is it might positive or negative? If I'm not mistaken...

20 days late - negative urine and blood test, in fact earlier it was <5 mUI/mL now it was <1.00 mUI/mL what is wrong?? I took the test in lab in the eve will that make any diff to blood test?

Many things can affect periods besides pregnancy.

Have you been under a lot of stress lately?

Lost or gained a lot of weight?

Changed your diet or exercise program?

Nothing... any of the above...

I'm feeling very depressed

So sorry to hear you haven't gotten a positive result so far. It could be that you are just going to skip this month. Wait and see what happens when your next period is due.

I think I answered this already.

Please keep it on one thread, I have merged the threads, I hope this does not confuse things
