My name is Ashley and I am 23 years old. My husband and I got married August 16, 2008. We want children, however, we are not TRYING right now, but we said IF it ever happened, we would be estatic. So, my symptoms started around, I would say, April. My period is irregular already. They always have been. So that has made it very hard to tell if I was preggo or not. But around April/May I would have periods, but they would only last 3 days and then stop, and they wouldn't be heavy. I have not seen my period since June. My stomach started to get stretch marks on it and it seemed really bloated. My husband said maybe you are pregnant. I took a pregnancy test...negative. I went on...ok long story short, I am just going to list my symptoms.
Nauseated, eating alot, tired ALL of the time - (keeping in mind that right now I am unemployed so I have NO reson to be tired, however, I am), my boobs don't hurt, but my nipples hurt all of the time, my lower back is always killing me. MORE STRECTH MARKS, bigger stomach, flutters/kicks in my stomach. I mean, I could go all day with my symptoms.
I went to my OBGYN back in June, he gave me a blood test - negative, and the ultra sound showed nothing. So the thought of being a mommy went out of my head. But, that did not stop my symptoms. Instead, new symptoms came along every week. I started having the CRAZIEST craving for mustard, and to this day, I still have it. I don't need preztels, or a hot dog. I just want mustard, by itself. And cheese. My friends and family think that I am crazy because I continuously have negative preggo tests, to this day. I just took another test Saturday and it came up negative. I am getting very frustrated and for the past month I have felt alot of kicking. I don't know what this could be and I am getting worried because I drink wine on the weekends. If I knew for sure that I was pregnant, I would definately NOT be drinking and after I drink just 1 glass, I'm tipsy. And when I wake up in the morning, I have the WORST hangover off of 1 glass. That started about the end of September. Back about 8 months ago, I could drink an entire bottle of wine BY MYSELF and have a buzz when I went to bed but be TOTALLY fine the next morning. The fact that I am tipsy off of 1 GLASS now, people have told me that that is a symptom of pregnancy. This would be my first pregnancy, but even with me not knowing what the body feels like when you are pregnant, I KNOW that I am. My mind is telling me I'm not but my body just won't let me think otherwise. And the fact that I watch that show "I didn't know I was pregnant" does NOT help ease my mind. I don't want to have a baby just slide out of me unexpectedly. PLEASE help me.
