Q: Constant Urination

I started freaking myself out about pregnancy and I think I may have scared my body into thinking that I really am. Last time I had any sexual contact (not even sex) was late April. I have gotten my period since then it wasnt spotting either..it was a little irregular but it could be cause im so stressed out over getting a job, and not getting enough sleep and family issues. I had no preg. symptoms other than nausea caused by my GERD I took 2 preg. tests a week or so after my period ended and both came up with a clear neg. It seemed like the more i looked at the symtpoms of pregnancy the more i related them to me..to the point where I got constipation and frequent urination. I went to my reg. doctor and she pressed on my stomach and said she felt nothing but a uterus. Should I trust this?. They took a urine sample and said that I dont have a UTI and im so baffled on why im going to the bathroom so much. The constipation is gone. and now the only thing i have is frequent urination. I'm just so confused and im worried. It seems like I pee alot more when im home then when im at work as well. I dont know what to do can someone please help me?

Peeing a lot is a symptom of things other than pregnancy, so there is no reason to assume it is pregnancy. You can never rely on symptoms when you are wondering if you are pregnant.

Peeing a lot is also a symptom of uti, which it sounds like you were already checked for, and diabetes. Soda , alcohol, caffeine, and some medications can also make people pee a lot more than usual. It can also be a sign of inflammation of the bladder. Since inflammation of the bladder can be difficult to diagnose, your best bet might be to go to a urologist.

You are definitely not pregnant. Although since you said that you were relating pregnancy symptoms to yourself, perhaps you are imagining the peeing thing? Don't be offended, I'm not trying to say you are paranoid or anything, but if you are peeing a lot more at home than at work maybe it's because you are sitting at home thinking and worrying about being pregnant? And if you don't have any other symptoms like pain or burning when you pee, there is nothing like that to worry about. Perhaps it is a diet change that you haven't realized that you had, like drinking more caffeine or something, or perhaps you are diabetic or something. But not pregnant. I would go to a urologist if it doesn't go away.

Just wanted to add- when I was 18 I got so paranoid about pregnancy that I was convinced that my stomach was growing and I was a few months pregnant even though I still got my period.

Of course I was wrong.
