Have you been to the drs? I would really get into the drs and see if they'll do an u/s on you to make sure that you're either pregnant or not pregnant and to make sure that if you are pregnant that the baby is okay. Cause you can miscarry and still not pass anything.....

Have you taken a test??

Have some posts out there with the complete story..I have tested a few times and they were all negative and the doctor refused to geive me a blood test.. I was suppose to get my period on feb. 3rd and it didnt come and then today for a few seconds there was some blood and now nothing....And the doc said there is no reason why she needs to see me if my test is negative and so on....

You know what, as a doctor, I have to say your doctor sucks. Yes, the oregon health plan makes it expensive for physicians to run tests, byt we didn't get into medicine to make money, or we would be in banking or something like that.

We are there to help people, and if you are distressed and worried about whether you are pregnant, then it is your doctor's responsibility to help assuring you that you either are or are not pregnant.

To try to pass that responsibility off on a commercial, over-the-counter test is irresponsible, imo.

So go back to your doctor, or insist to the nurse that you get the test. Unless that doctor made that otc test, he/she can not guarantee that it is accurate.

You can tell them (and it would be true), that if the test turns out to be faulkty and you are pregnant, but per your doctor's order act as if you are not, then any potential harm to the pregnancy or birth defect outcome is a lawsuit directly at that doctor.

And your doctor should know this.

Now, did you actually get hold of your doctor before, or only the nurse? Insist that the doctor calls you back, don't accept a brushoff by the nurse, she is not a physician and does not know the reliability of the otc test versus a blood test.

So for your peace of mind, start badgering your doctor's office until they give you some kind of reassurance, preferrably through a blood test.

Can the doctors tell our parents??
My dr has known my family forever like he delvered me and everything.. I cant have anything wrong with me, or make an appointment or anything without my parents knowing and things like that

it depends on your state.

wow, ur a doctor?? Thats my lifetime goal..
But thanks for the message.. It really helped me. What happened was when I had my miscarriage in dec. This was a new doctor ob doctor I saw and at first she was great..But then when I came for a follow up appt she was very rude and told me that I was too young to be even thinking about having a child that she does not want to see me pregnant anytime soon and so on (well she said it in a nicer way but basically the thought behind it).. Although she was trying to help me I felt offended. And last week I called her because I have no had a period in more than 7 weeks and I was spotting on and off so I thought I should make an appt. Well she asked me some questions and when I asked for a blood test (since I thought they were more accuate) she refused even when I offered to pay for it and im not even on the medicaid. She basically told me that urine and blood tests are the same in accuracy and that if my test is negative and im feeling ok then she did not have to see me. Well today I called again cuz im having cramps and spotting again and finally she was like ok, come in on tuesday and ill take a look. It sounded like she was annoyed and just wanted to get me off her back. I wish I could go to someone else its just all the other ob in my hospital that dont require 3 month waiting time are males and I do not feel comfortable with male ob doctors... So yeah I have an appt this tuesday and she better not be a %$#&* lol.. So yeah thats my little update,,,
