I'm wondering if I'm pregnant since I've been having many symptoms but testing negative on 3 urine tests and one blood test. Here's my story: From Aug 23 - 28, I was with my boyfriend (yes, we currently live in diff. states) and had unprotected sex. Since he's had a vasectomy, we thought we were safe. On Sept 9th, I began having a clear watery discharge. It just looked like water on my panties. I also began having the urge to pee all the time. The watery discharge occurred for about 2 days and then on Sept 11, I started having brown spotting that was very light. At first it almost appeared like there was a creamy discharge mixed in with it but the next day turned to just a light brown blood. I continued spotting until 9/20 when I began to spot heavier and red. On 9/21, I bled heavily like a period and passed some stringy tissue that night. On the morning of 9/22, I still continued to bleed heavily with some clotting. By that afternoon, it virtually stopped and I just lightly spotted. So there was only about a day and a half of bleeding like a period which is very short for me (typical period lasts from 8 to 9 days). I very lightly spotted on Tuesday, 9/23 and nothing the rest of the week. Since 9/11, I've been having the urge to pee all the time, headaches, lower back pain, low-level menstrual-like cramps, nausea and dizziness and darkened nipples that stay hard all the time. Just a couple of days ago, I started to feel soreness in my breasts. They are swollen and very sensitive. I've taken 3 urine tests and just got results from a HCG quantitative test run a couple of days ago that was negative (HCG level was 1). So the tests all say negative. Could I still be pregnant? If not, what's causing all these symptoms? Or am I just losing my mind:confused:

Oh, and one more symptom I forgot to mention - bloating in my stomach and abdomen so bad it appears I'm about 4 months along. Strange!

Really crappy to say, but sometimes our minds get the best of us. If your past your period time and you've taken all these tests, including a blood test, it's not very likely that your pg but since you can't seem to get it out of your head, that may be the problem, it's all in your head. I'm not trying to be mean, I have a friend who's sister thought she was pg for ever and even though the dr's told her she wasn't, she couldn't get it out of her head. Eventually, she stopped her period, her breasts got larger, her tummy looked pg, everything! She ended up having to see someone for what's called a false pregnancy. It was really tough on her. But if you feel there's something just not right- make an appointment and be very clear with your dr about everything.

Actually, I'd really like to know that I'm not pregnant. I have vitiligo and was using Monobenzone cream on my skin until the question of pregnancy came up. Since it's potentially dangerous to an unborn child, I've suspended use of it until I know for sure what's going on with me. My fiancé is convinced I'm pregnant as are my parents. Interestingly, I'm the one that had doubts but can't explain any of these symptoms. It certainly was not expected because me and my finance thought we were safe since he'd had a vasectomy. Go figure - I guess, time will tell. My doc scheduled me for an ultrasound but I think I'll delay that until later so they can tell with certainty whether I am. It's too early for ultrasound at this point. If we did conceive, it was somewhere between 8/23 through 8/28. We've been in different states since then. So I could only be about 4 weeks from conception (IF I'm even pregnant). If I'm not, I wish I could get rid of the bloating. Is getting embarrassing and hard to hide in clothes.

I'm sorry, we can't tell you whether you are pregnant, we aren't psychic, and we can't run any tests on you, only you or your doctor can do that.

No one on this site can give you an accurate response. We cannot determine pregnancy based on symptoms alone, especially with 3 negative test results.

Could you be? Yes, you could, it could still be too early to tell. Or, you might have been and the heavy bleeding was a miscarriage, or it could be your body is just playing tricks on you, it happens to all of us at one time or another.

Only your doctor can give an accurate diagnosis at this time, so I just you go to him/her and tel him/her you symptoms and the fact that you've had 3 negatives.

Good luck.
