* Not Sure * Posted: 10-30-06 04:29am
Me and my husband tried for a baby during
the time I was highly fertile (october 1st
was accidental, october 2nd and 3rd was on
purpose). I took a pregnancy test on the
15th at night before going to bed, and it
said negative (i also took one on the 5th
and 12th of october, just because I was
anxious to know, but they were too early
to tell, so therefore, were also both
negative). During those 2 weeks that I
was waiting, I did have breast soreness,
and I drank a lot of water, therefore,
made constant trips to the bathroom. I
did feel dizzy at times and had waves of
nausea coming and going. I am a massage
therapist, so most smells I usually could
stand made me sick to my stomach. Now,
this might of been just because I was
anxious to get pregnant, and my mind was
making up symptoms. But for the past
couple of days i've been getting these
waves of cramps and my stomach feels
tighter then before. I did get my period
on the 17th of october, and it was light
at first. Then that same day I got a
massage (because my muscles were sore) and
afterwards it got heavier, but for only
3-4 days, then for the remainder of my
period (which was another 4-5 days) was
just drops of dark blood followed by gray
mucus/discharge. Today I got this
terrible migraine (at 11pm) along with
nausea, but didn't throw up. I don't
have breast soreness, and I do take my
over-the-counter prenatal pills (since I
heard that it's better when you take then
before you try to conceive), so you're
less likely to get sick during your first
trimester, and it helps having all the
folic acid in your body to have a
healthier baby.
Could I still be pregnant and not know it?
Or did my period basically said it all
(not prego)? Should I still go to my
ob/gyn and ask for a blood test instead of
getting another hpt test?

Firstly, prenatals don't keep you from
being sick. Vitamin b6 does, but the
other vitamins will make you feel worse,
so it cancels out the effects. It's
possible, but not common, to have a period
while pregnant. If you had a miscarriage,
it's also common to still feel pregnant.
You need to have a blood test done, and
then a second to compare the levels of hcg
in your system. If they are doubling
every 2 days, you are still pregnant. If
not, you may hvae had a miscarriage or not
been pregnant at all.
