HELP! Could I be?

2BMom wrote: I hope someone here can help.

For the last 2 days I have been feeling queasy. I do not feel sick at all, but a have that nauseous feeling, like my mouth is over producing saliva.

Last night I brushed my teeth and it made me puke.

Everyone keeps telling me "maybe you are pregnant."

I am starting to wonder....could I be?

But I have not missed a period!

My husband and I had sex 8/8 and I got my last period 8/10. It was light to normal.

What do you think? I know I should probaby take a pregnancy test, but I don't want to if there is no chance.

I take some meds I would want to stop if I am in deed pregnant.

HELP!?!?!?!

boyohboyohboy replied: IMO if you take meds that need to be stopped if you are preg. then you need to test to make sure that nothing happens to you or the baby, the very beginning months are so important....
Good luck

I agree - I'd stop taking them right away just to be sure. If you turn out to not be pg you can resume taking them. If you're TTC you actually might want to stop taking them anyways since you're pg for a couple weeks before you can find out, kwim?

If you haven't missed your af yet it might be too soon for it to show up on a test if you're pg. How long until you'll be late? Good luck!

So are you saying you have a normal 28 day cycle, and are expecting your next AF sept 7th? Sorry I just didn't want to assume because every woman's cycle differs - some women's cycles are 30 days, or 40... mine used to be 21 days apart.

If you won't be late until next week then I'd wait to test because the hcg levels might not be high enough yet to get a positive pg test. If you went to the doctor to get a blood test you might get a result from that since it shows up in blood sooner than in urine. Either way, I'd stop taking the meds you were worried about until you know for sure, or check with your doctor to see if they're all right to take if you're pg.

Boo&BugsMom replied: I agree about stopping the medications. If it's harmful to your baby, then it's best to stop while you are TTC, not after you find out you're preggers.

You should probably wait until you have a missed period before you test. It will probably come up negative if you test now, it seems too early if you had a period this month.

Yes, I normally have a 28 day cycle.

Yesterday I bought a pregnancy test and it was negative.

Last night I got my period. As you started, I should not be getting it until 9/7. So I am a week early, which is VERY strange for me!

Usually my period is very heavy, dark, and my cramps areusually very painful. But I have nothing like that. This time...The flow is light (I could get away without using a pad). At first it was a brownish color and today it is more pink than red. Sorry if this is gross, but it is like blood that is mixed with a clear fluid.

So, what are your thoughts? Not pregnant because of the test? Or maybe just tested too early?

I guess it depends on if what I am having now is a period or if it is implantation bleeding.

I would appreciate any thoughts. I realize I am at a wait and see point, but the waiting is sooooo hard!!! And the symptoms I am having is making it hard to ignore.

Fatigue
Aversion to certain foods or odors
Nausea or vomitting
Headache

P.S. I stopped the meds just in case.

~Roo'sMama~ replied:
It sounds like it could be implantation bleeding ~ the test might just be neg because it's so early. Sometimes stress or something else going on can cause you to have a not normal AF, but I'd definitely wait a week and test again. The waiting is hard I know. Good luck!

2BMom replied: I spoke to a nurse at the doctor's office. I realize they deal with things on a daily basis, so to them calls like mine are not a big deal. But I felt like she thought my call was foolish.

Anyhow, this is what she said... she said it sounds to her like a normal pregnancy. There is no fever, etc and all of the symptoms could be assosiated to being pregnant. She said several times that it sounds to her like I am pregnant.

She suggested I not take the meds I was on until I know for sure I am not pregnant.

She said that the bleeding I am having does not sound like I am menstrating. She said to wait a couple of days and take another home pregnancy test. She said that once there is a positive reading then they would not need to see me until I was at 12 weeks.

Well, I am not necessarily at a point where I think I am pregnant. I really need to take a wait and see approach on that. I will wait until the bleeding stops and test again then.


I made an appointment on Wednesday with my DR. The nurse said she did not think it would be necessary for me to see him at that time, but I do not agree. If I get a positive hpt before then, I would want them to test me to confirm it. OR If my hpt is still negative and I am not pregnant, but the nausious feeling does not go away, then I want to see him to find out what is wrong. I could have an infection, flu, etc. Right?



Sorry for going on and on. I am an only child. My mom got pregnant with me at 16. I do not have many people that I can talk to about this. I appreciate all of your advice!!!

2BMom replied: The bleeding stopped after 2 days...so it definately was not a period. I did another pregnancy test today (forgot to use 1st morning urine) and it was negative. I am not supposed to get my period until 9/7, so it may still be too early.

Does anyone know how long after implantation bleeding stops that I should test?

I have an appt on Wednesday with my doc, so I should know by then why I am feeling queasy, etc.


Have a GREAT day!

hopefulmomtobe replied: What did you find out??? The reason I am asking is because I am in the same boat. I made a diagram chart of how many weeks since my last period...I am now on the 31st day and no period yet...I have taken tests too and they are all negative so I just put in a call to my doctor but I am curious on how yours came out....

2BMom replied:
I posted to you in your post the other day. Is your doctor running any tests to see what is making you feel pukey?

Mine did a blood test to check my B12.
