I have bipolar disorder, endometriosis and possibly other fertility issues. We have been tcc for years to no avail. Recently we got married on June 5. I had started my period on June 1 or 2 it was over by our wedding.Unfortnately within a couple weeks of our wedding I suffered another manic episode. I know we had been very sexually active at that time. In the hospital at some time I had my period very unsure when. It only lasted 3 days and was brown blood. I was hospitalized during June 22-july 9.While I was in there my prolactin tested high-76 normal is 0-24. My thyroid tested at hypothyroid.The only pregnancy test which was done was urine and at the time I was very unwell. I poured half the urine out and filled it with water.July I missed my period entirely.I took 3 true responses all negative. Then I seemed to start my period last night. This afternoon it seems to have stopped somewhat. I am having symptoms I usually do not have-very emotional keep crying at very strange silly type things. With bipolar often a depression can follow a mania-so this could be the start of one.I have also been feeling sick to stomach all week-threw up today. With the endo sometimes period cramps make me throw up... Breasts are both larger and sore-could be just the higher prolactin? A few years back was diagnosed with a mircoandenomia. They tested it and said it was non-hormone producing at the time (that could have changed.) I cannot shake the feeling I might be pregnant.I am seeing my medical primary dr. Monday - I need another referral to an endocronologist. (for hormone issues. Thyroid prolactin.) I may ask if my dr can run a pregnancy serum test. Does that sound crazy?Other symptoms very fatigued, food aversions,bloated but losing weight-still 1 inch bigger in both breast and lower ab but waist is smaller. This is just very confusing esp. with all the hormone issues.Any thoughts?

It does not sound crazy to me. With what you are describing of your medical history aand symptoms, I would definitely ask the doctor for a pregnancy test.
