Hi everyone,

I am on the pill and take it every morning at the same time, have never missed a day. My period always shows up on the second "no hormones" day, and hasn't been erratic since I began this pill, almost a year ago. My period was expected on May 22 and came on that day in the afternoon. That same day, I was very ill and nauseous and vomiting all day. My period, however, only lasted that half day. There was not even any spotting on the following days. So my period only lasted 1/2 a day when it is normally 4-5. It was also lighter than usual, but it's usually light on the first day.

Since then, I have had spells of intense nausea daily. It's mostly in the late morning, and then again in the late afternoon and evening. I have had occasional back pain and severe headaches, and in the last few days I have had PMS symptoms on and off, such as cramps and my face has broken out (my skin is usually really clear..). My appetite has also been abnormal, where I feel really hungry, but when I go to eat I lose my appetite. Last night all I wanted for dinner was a big bowl of steamed cauliflower...

I took a home pregnancy test on June 29th and it was negative right away (like 5 seconds after the negative line was there). I have still been feeling sick though, so I went to the doctor yesturday. He had me do a urine test at the clinic and said it was negative, but that my symptoms are those of pregnancy. He had me go to the lab and do a blood test this morning, so I am now waiting for the results. I just did another HPV because I am so nervous, and the horizonal (negative line) is very dark. If I look reallllly carefully, I can see a second line, but it is VERY faint and I could be imagining it.

I am not sure when the day of conception would have been, as I live with my boyfriend and we are sexually active many times a week.

Can anyone give me advice? What are the chances that a blood test would come up positive when a urine test has not?

Thanks for your help!
