I haven't been feeling right the past week or so. I have been feeling sick and can't eat things I normally eat. I feel sick quite a bit. I am getting headaches. I am hungry a lot but the thought of most foods makes me sick. It seems like the only thing that doesn't make me feel sick lately is chocolate, and I dont even like the stuff! I have been hungry all day but looking at foods and smelling them makes me sick. I took a pregnancy test today and it came up negative. I know they aren't always accurate but could these symptoms be anything else? I haven't had a normal period in a long time because I was on the shot. I only got it once and didnt go back for my second. I have been off it about a month. Could it be out of my system already?? I am gonna wait about another week or two and do another test but I am going crazy cuz I just dont know! Sad

I'd stick with urine tests, they're actually more sensitive that a blood test.

Maybe it is stress. I dont know. My boyfriend just left for three months. He joined the Army and he is in boot camp right now. Then my daughter left for a month. I am having problems with my job. That seems like a possible cause. Thanks.

I only too 2 shots and I didn't have a period the whole time, gained 20lbs, & didn't have a period for another 6 months after I was off of them.

When I was pregnant with my 3rd son I was 2 & 1/2 months before I finally broke down & went to the dr. All the tests kept saying negative - even the blood test. The dr said sometimes your body doesn't produce enough hormone to show up. He is fixing to be 10 & is beautiful! I'm partial. I understand your worrying though. There is just something about NOT knowing. Hopefully you will have an answer soon.

I have still been feeling sick lately. I was feeling really sick early tuesday morning but I didn't throw up...it came out the other end. Which is actually what happened when I was pregnant with my daughter. I got sick everyday but didnt vomit it was always coming out the other end Confused I am gonna wait a little while longer and do another test if I haven't started my period. Today when I went to the bathroom there was a little bit of a pink tint when I wiped but no blood. I am going crazy not knowing what's going on with my body! I hope I will have an answer soon...

Found Out...
Well I did my second pregnancy test. It was positive. Then I did another....positive. I went through a million emotions just as I did the first time I found out I was pregnent. I knew I wasn't ready for baby #2 quite yet but I was still happy. And now......I dont know how to feel. I am no longer pregnant. I started bleeding real heavy the other day. I guess it happened for a reason since I am not really ready yet but it still hurts.

Yes, you need to go to a doctor after any miscarriage, even an early one like this.

Agreed. It could be a chemical pregnancy.

Quote:

A chemical pregnancy is a miscarriage that happens within a week or so of the due menstrual period. I have read that as many as 8 out of 10 women have either experienced one or will experience one in their lifetime. A lot of times, these early miscarriages are overlooked as a heavy menstrual bleeding and or a period that lasts a little longer than usual. The reason I am writing about this in the Trying To Conceive section is that chemical pregnancies are fairly common and many times a woman on this journey will discover that she has indeed experienced an early miscarriage.

Most women discover they are having an early miscarriage if they are charting their fertility signs and are actively trying to become pregnant. Many women can achieve a positive home pregnancy test as early as 10 days post ovulation and some tests can even detect pregnancy much earlier. Because of the sensitivity of some home pregnancy tests - a women who knows exactly when she ovulates can test even before the menstrual period is due.

There are several different reasons why chemical pregnancies occur. Some of the time, the reason may never be discovered. The reasons why these occur are: low progesterone, insufficient uterine lining, genetic problems, immune issues (see www.inciid.org for more information) and possible obstructions in the uterus, such as fibroid tumors (depending on their location). There are a number of tests that can be run to determine why chemical pregnancies occur, though not all of the time a reason will be found.
