pregnancy symptoms of nausea, sore breasts, tired Posted: 03-04-08 19:29pm
Here's my story for you to read, to maybe
think bout what you're going through. Now
here it is March 4th of 2008 {last period
was February 2nd - 28 day regular cycle.}.
Already past my period by about four days
now, I have a really good feeling that
wasn't my period, the bleeding I
experienced back in February {24th-27th -
the light, spotty, short,
pink/brown/burgundy red bleeding. - my
normal periods last for five days & are
heavy.} Anyways, today I went to the
doctors & they gave me a urine test, came
out negative. But the thing is I'm still
having these symptoms: nauseated -
actually threw up in my mouth alittle bit
earlier, sore breast & nipples & they seem
to be alittle bigger - atleast alittle
more cramped in my bra than usual - the
thing about them being tender is it's not
all day it really depends on what time of
day it is (as weird as that sounds), I
really don't feel myself to tell you the
truth, bloated to the extreme, starting to
use the bathroom a lot more, I actually
have what it seems like menstrual cramps
but they're not as harsh, really tired
lately but finding it hard to sleep since
my mind has been on this whole pregnancy
thing - & I have noticed I can't fall
asleep til the wee mornings then it seems
like I sleep all day & stay up all night -
although when I'm awake I feel as though I
didn't sleep enough even if I slept for
twelve hours, short frequent mild
headaches, I can see blue veins in my
breast sometimes they're not as dark as
other times so I really don't know what to
think about that.
& just as a mental note: I had unprotected
sex from February 11th through the 21st,
every day in between those days, multiple
times a day...

Get your doctor to do a blood test, then
you will know for sure.

You can choose on your own to take a few
more urine tests, however even if you are
pregnant some woman are unable to produce
a positive test via urine. However you can
choose to have a blood test be taken.
But also just know that although you may
be having symptoms related to what
pregnant women experience it may not be
due to pregnancy. They can be caused by
other things as well. Book a doctors
appointment and even consider checking out
WedMD prior to going in!
Good luck!

Honestly, I think I might just take that
offer on taking another urine test, except
I think this time I want to do the test
myself, another thing about the whole
doctors visit is they had me come in at
3:45PM for a urine test. Now from what I
comprehend about tests containing urine,
it's best to take them in the morning.
I mean at a 3:45PM appt for a pregnancy
test, you figure they'd want to try a
blood test.
But that's just me using my own common
sense.
Do you know what other health problems it
could be from? I mean the symptoms.

I think today I'm going to head up to the
doctors office, get a free pregnancy test
to take home since I have the right
insurance, my doctor told me yesterday my
insuranced covered it. Anyways, if that
does turn out to be negative, then I'll
wait a week or two to see how my symptoms
are doing. If they still exist, then I'm
going to make a appt. for a blood test.
