Q: pregnancy symptoms missed
asked by: tamjo on September 24th, 2003

My husband and I have been trying to have a baby for 3 months. This month I have missed my period. I am 4 days late. I haven't had any signs of my period such as the bloating or cramps. I've taken a pregnancy test and it has come back negative. I'm afraid that they might be something wrong with me that will prevent me from having another baby. But is there a possibility that I could be pregnant even though the store bought tests come back negative? Should I still make an appointment at my doctor for a pregnancy test?

There is definitely a chance you are pregnant. You can either continue taking test for the next few weeks or like you said go to your doctor. I think that might be the best bet, instead of agonizing over it for weeks. Best of luck and let us know how it goes! Smile

Isn't it just the worst feeling having to stress over it every month. "am I going to start?" in my long drawn out experience of trying to conceive, store bought tests are pretty acurate, but if you dont have enough hormones in your urine yet it could take a little longer to register. Sometimes if you are wanting it so bad, (i know the feeling!) your body might just freak a little and start late. Hopefully this is not what it happening to you. If you dont want to go to the docs just yet, wait a little longer and retest. In the mean time, try to think of something else. (not so easy I know!).
I'll cross my fingers for you, if you'll do the same for me:)
good-luck

Well, it's been almost a week now and still no period or signs of a period. As difficult as it has been, i'm going to hold out just a few more days before I call for a doctors appointment. I haven't had any definite signs of being pregnant - no morning sickness or anything. But I didn't have morning sickness either with my first child. So at this point, i'm just playing the waiting game between my period or a positive result - whichever comes first. The anxiety is killing me and my husband ! I'm trying not to think about it and hope it make the time go by faster. If nothing happens by next week, i'll call the doctor. In the meantime, my husband and I are praying to the "seed" doctor and hope that we've been successful ! Think "it's a girl ! " Smile
