Q: Ok, I Have a Shorter Question This Time, Hope to Get Answer

Ok so my last post was kinda long and I think I scared people away from answering it. But I have another question regarding my first post. Ok, so as I said in my last post I took a hpt and it showed neg. I have been researching ovulation calenders and it figured I am 6 weeks 3 days along assuming my regular lmp was on sept 29. And I say my last lmp because I wouldn't call what I had in oct a period. I spotted for a day or two the week befor my period and got only a light bleeding for one day the week of my period. So my question would be, if I used a clear blue easy early results test last thursday 11-10, and it was neg, could it have been too early? I really need to know people opinion if I should retest and when. I really cant wait till my next period (which would be in 2 weeks) because of an x-ray I need done on fri. ( see last post for all the datailed info concering my situation). I really would appreciate an answers at this point I am verry anxious and I don't want to keep spending $$ on tests if it may be too early. Thank you in advanced.

Well for sure the x-ray tech will ask if there is a chance you might be preg. Please say yes dont lie then they will take the proper procautions k about the tests ..... Everyone seems to be asking how earlie is to earlie????

It just seems like so many people on here are getting negative results when they really are pregnant, it kind o makes you lose your trust in the good old hpt!
If you calculated you are 6 weeks along, you should have been able ( in theory) to get a positive by now! I would ask for a blood test and a pelvic exam to be sure before you have any x-rays! No matter what precautions they take, no amount of x-ray is actually good for a baby!

Thank you for your replys so far. I am assuming I am 6 weeks if what I had in oct was actually implantation bleeding and not my period. As far as an exam and blood work goes my obgyn is in a town I cannot get to on my own (verry bad anxiety on the highway) my mother usually takes me, but I don't want to tell her yet and get her all excited about something that may not be and she isnt feeling well right now, so that would be the same reason I cant get the blood work ordered for some where close to me either, cause I am still on my parents insurance till I get married and it will show the bill for the blood work. My xray is on friday (i am haveing my annual small bowel series) so I am going to try and retest on thursday with the second test from the pack. Although I read on a few sites that the clear blue easy has been giving bad results lately, anyone hear of this? Thaks again :)

Since I havent "missed" a period yet could I still test say, tonight, and possiably get an accurate result? I have been holding my pee for about 4 hours so it should be containing enough hormone if I have a good level right? Hope to hear soon, I really do have to pee!! Lol :d

Anyone Else Have Any Words of Wisdom?
I am not good at playing the waiting game lol! Could there be something else besides pregnancy that could cause all my symptoms to come on all together like they did? Obviously besides pms because I have been feeling like this since my last "period" in oct so that would be real sucky to never have pms leave (arrgghh)! Please I am looking for any answers or even comments or a similar story. Thanks,
anxiously waiting,
kelly j.

I am in the same boat, I hate waiting! I had a bunch of different symptoms all come on at once about a week ago, and I am not sure if I am pregnant or something else. Took one hpt early, and one sunday ( my period would be due between yesterday ( sunday) and tuesday. But right now I don't even feel as if it is due. Usually feel like I am going to get it for a few days before I do. So I am off to the doctor this afternoon, because the nausea thing is very unlike me, I don't get nauseaous, or vomit, ( haven't done that yet!), so to be like this for a week now is not me at all. Hopefully they will do a blood test,i know they are more accurate than urine tests, and if I am not, hopefully they can tell me what the hell is wrong with me! :?

Boob Question
I hope everything goes the way you want it to at your appointment today.

I had another question, if any of you had breast changes early on, did you notice the cup size get bigger first or the band width or both, just wondering cause mine are fitting kinda snug! Thaks again, kelly j.

Breast Size
That is actually one of the reasons I wanted to get a blood test done, my breasts seem ( in mine and my hubby's eyes) to have gotten "fuller" they seem larger ( cup size), and have some wierd bluish veins showing around the nipples. Maybe they are just growing, but I know this is an early sign of pregnancy too. :)

I am sorry to hear you have to wait soo long, you would think by now there would be a way to get blood results back sooner. Well hang in there, and my thoughts go out to you. Kelly j.

Thanks! :)

i think some labs may give results sooner, but I went to my normal physician, just in case symptoms were something other than pregnancy, wanted to make sure I wasn't just getting sick, or something.
So I will be like a kid on christmas eve for the next day or two!
Too anxious to do anything!

This sounds similar to what happend to me a few months ago,

i had so many signs, my boobs grew, there were blue veins all over them and the areola, nipples were darker, I had gone off certain foods, I was incredibly tired, a pooch appeared and I had 2 "peroids" that were more torture than anything else, just enough to make me wear a pad but not really enough if you knwo what I mean, with this I had cramps and allt he fun stuff.

I did several tests all neg and eventually had a blood test done as I was getting pain with it which was unlike me. All came back neg, hgc levels were below 5.. So not pregnant.

My dr is a as and said would take it further to see why all the of this had happened, but did nothing.

I figured if they were wrong time would tell.. And if I were I woudl be 18 weeks by now.. And my belly is nice and flat still so I guess they were right all along! But the veins are only just dissapearing, there are still a few visable but the rest have gone back to hiding!

Keep a open mind, dont let your self think you def are cause if you arnt you will be dissapointed.. And if you are.. You will be double happy!!

Good luck!

Thank you for sharing you experience askara. I am begining to believe I may be psyching myself into thinking I am , but I cannot deny how I feel. I am actually starting to get a pretty bad cold, so maybe by friday I may be too sick to go in for my small bowel series afterall and I will have the time to wait and see if my period starts befor I have to do the test if I reschedule due to a cold (kinda weird to be hoping for a bad cold lol) so maybe getting sick will be a blessing in disguise, who knows, only time will tell. Talk to ya'll later. Kelly j.

My test gave me a positive result the first time. I think, I can't really remember now, but i'm certain it was 3-4 days after my period was supposed to be due. It was in the early evening and I had just gone to the bathroom 15 minutes before and had just finished drinking a sprite. So yeah, they work. That definitely wasn't first urine, it was definitely diluted and I got a positive right away. And I mean right away, no faint lines for me.

I was utterly convinced, it was only after the blood test and the fact that my belly stopped pooching out .. I did doubt it a little.. But now its pretty clear.

Listen to your body.. But dont hear things that arnt there!

Hope it all works out the way you want!
