Hi I am a 35 year old mother of 4 beautiful girls ages 11, 8 and 7 year old twins. I had my mirena iud removed in Jan 2012 due to issues. A few months later I found out that I had pelvic congestion. Had surgery in April 2012. My periods have been really amazing since then. No more cramping. My periods would just show up and last for 4-5 days. I did not have my period in June and I always have a regular cycle. At the end of June I started spotting. It was brownish pinkish and lasted for 2 weeks. I spotted with all of my other pregnancies. Since then I have had these symptoms begin... tired (could sleep 12 hours and still be exhausted), no period, cramping in lower abdomen, bloated (my pants are tight now), feel twinges or fluttering in my lower stomach, diarrhea, thirsty for water more than usual (I drink a lot of water anyway), have to pee a lot more than usual, a little nauseated but not vomiting (when I was pregnant with my girls I was horribly sick), some foods don't appeal to me, headaches, bad after taste after I eat anything, craving spicy foods, lower back aches, forgetful, anxious, and this morning when I peed it was bright neon yellow. My husband and I have not used a condom a couple of times recently. I have taken 5 hpt and they have all been negative. Had a blood test done... negative. When I took hpt with each of my girls it showed positive right away. I don't understand what is happening to me. My stomach looks like I'm 3 or 4 months pregnant. I'm due for my period to come again in a week or so. I don't take vitamins, I'm not stressing and nothing has changed. Does anyone have any idea what may be going on?

Has the Doctor examined you to make sure it's not something else?

And I must comment - your children are 2 7 year olds, an 8 year old and an 11 year old?

YOU ARE MY HERO! I can't imagine...

I have not yet had an exam. I have an appt on 7-30 to see my OBGYN Dr and to have an ultrasound done. I wasn't planning on getting pregnant however if I am this pregnancy is completely different than my previous pregnancies. I can't help wonder if it could be a boy...

LOL... yes they are (2) 7, 8 and 11. I have been told this before. You just do what you have to do and love them. I wouldn't change it!

This is above and beyond the call of duty - accept it as a sincere compliment.

Be sure to come back and let us know -

Thank you! I will!

I am also 3 weekslate with tightness in the abdomen and slight cramping also I have been bloated and don't know what it could be. Did everything turn out OK for you?
