I have been researching this topic a lot!!! And have not found enough answers...and probably won't until I go to the dr again, but I guess it makes me feel better.

I am having a similar problem as a lot of females out there! And need help! There are so many women having this same issue, and SO little answers, or other women that had the problem, and came up pregnant- if this does happen to me, I will definitely respond to help others out in this situation!

Anyways, It has been 10 weeks since my last period, around August 20. This means that I am about 7 wks late starting my cycle. I calculated when I would have been ovulating, and it would have been around the time that me and my bf had sex, (we had sex Aug 25-Sept 4). We had been having unprotected sex for a while, and he would come inside of me. I really didn't think I could get pregnant, because I had an ovarian cyst before, and was supposed to be on birth control to help with it. But, since I do not have insurance, I haven't been on birth control in about 3 yrs. Since then, I have had regular periods, every month. And if I was late, it would only be no more than 2 wks, and this was due to stress, moving, or when I traveled. But never have I been this late!! After I missed my period in Sept., I took a couple of pregnancy tests-all negative. Around the 1st of October I had these really REALLY bad cramps one night, and they lasted all night, but there was NO blood, and the pain was a lot worse than my menstrual cramps. Well then, the next day came, and I started spotting, very lightly, and the pain was gone. I didn't know what to think, but I knew it def was not my period. I normally have really bad cramps the first couple of days, along with very heavy bleeding, and then it lightens up. So this was new to me. I was thinking I may be having a miscarriage or something, so I scheduled a doctor's appointment. The bleeding only lasted a couple of days, and it was off and on and was very light- and weird. During this time I felt like I had a slight fever that lasted everyday for about 2 wks, also.

So, I went to the doctor, the blood test came back negative, of course. So then he does a pelvic exam. He kept asking me if I had been pregnant before, and I was like-NO. He said that my uterus was enlarged, and he came to the conclusion that I probably had a miscarriage that just hadn't passed yet. And then he goes on to say, BUT there still may be a viable baby in there. So really, I spent all that money for nothing! He told me that I needed to go home and rest with my feet up, so that's what I did for about a week. He told me to come back the next week, but I didn't, because I was thinking that I had a miscarriage that would soon enough come out.

Since then, I have been taking hpt's once a week, because I still have not started my period. All are negative. Nothing hurts. The past mornings I have been feeling nausea, but no vomiting, just diarrhea. I have been more tired lately. I made an appointment today to go see the gyno, but that's not until Nov 24th. So.....I guess I'll have to wait and see. I'm just really wanting to know what's going on! If I am pregnant I want to know asap, so I can do what I need to do to have a healthy baby! I will give you an update once I find something out! It is still so strange to me to hear about women that have had negative results and still be pregnant!

I also read where women who have had ovarian cysts in the past will show up negative for a while due to the low hcg amount....in which I have had an ovarian cyst that ruptured in the past....so I don't know???
