I need help...

[navajo_princess]

Ive looked everywhere for answers, but I havent found any...
I feel alone, and I dont know what to do... I MIGHT be pregnant, but I dont know...
In January I had a normal period, it started the 13th and ended the 18th. In February it was late 2 days, started the 12th and ended the 14th, and it was super light. A little after that I started to get sick, like nausea, vomitting, and I felt so light headed I didnt want to get up cause it felt like i was going to fall over. I took a pregnancy test on 02-19 and 02-27, both negative, another test on 03-01 and 03-04, and on 03-11, all negative. People have told me that its from using the ortho evra patch, but Ive been on it for 3 years.
Symptoms-
*nausea
*vomitting
*light headed
*sore boobs
*I went from a 36c to a 40c in 2 weeks
*My boobs are very hard
*some headaches that last longer then usual
*weird cravings
*a hightened sence of smell
*Im very moody/ emotional.. crying a lot
*Im peeing a lot more then usual
Im scared cause im kind of on my period now, and its very very light, like spotting, but every test Ive had has come back negative.... and I dont know if I should put my patch on for this month or not... I looked up some information and it said that if i am pregnant it could cause birth defects... i dont want that...
so i just want to know if i should put my patch on for this month or not... and if anyone can give me some answers on why im feeling this way..
ive been feeling like this since the middle of february, and I dont think its because of my birth control patch, and it wasnt from my menstrual cycle... can someone help me figure this out??? please....

You really need to go and see your doctor, I think they are the only one that can give you answers. I wouldn't put the patch on until I knew for sure one way or the other.
Keep us posted on how you go either way.
Good luck

I agree, i would go and see the doctor and find out for sure.
good luck

[navajo_princess]

Thank you for replying... I talked to my boyfriends mom whose a nurse and she said the same thing... I havent put the patch on yet, and im going to wait until the end of this week and take a test and go see a doctor.. thank you for your advice and i'll keep you posted on anything that happens.

Go & see a dr asap. I had all those symptons & ignored them cause I was still getting a so called period & nothing showed up on a pregnancy test. I found out I was preggers with #2 at 4mths along. The only way we discoved was through blood test. So yes go see a dr

[navajo_princess]

So it is possible to still have a period and be pregnant at the same time??

[nkenward]

definitely go and get it checked out. Maybe you aren't producing enough HCG levels to register on a home preg. test. Plus some tests are better than others.

but from what i have heard you can have a period during the pregnancy.

Hi there,

Like the others said, definately see your dr. My hormone levels were too low for a home test to show up positive and had to have 3 blood tests with the dr before he could positively say we were pregnant. Also, a work collegue continued to get her periods and didn't find out she was pregnant until she was 7m :eek:

Good Luck with everything.

Yes it is possible to fall preggers & get a period.

With Lachlan I had a period (or what I thought was a period) every two weeks up until he was 4mths, I also had the period pain with each one.
With Taylor I had a normal period at 1mth, 3mths preggers with her & again at 6mths.
My HGC levels didnt change until I was 4mths pregers with Lachlan & they changed with in the first 6 weeks of Taylor.

You can also definately fall preggers on the pill, esp if it will be your second pregnancy as your hormones are still not adjusted fully.

Keep us up to date on how you go

Hi Navajo-Princess (love the name!!!)

You are certainly describing all the symptoms of being pregnant. The spotting you described happpened to me as well. I use to spot at the beginning of my period and then a day later it would arrive, but when I fell I only had the spotting. I did a HPT a week later and got a +ive result.
Go to the Dr, get a blood test done and then you will know for sure.
Hope you get the result you want.
Good luck and let us know how you are going.

[navajo_princess]

Thanks for all the information... Im going to take a pregnancy test this friday, and go to a doctor on monday or tuesday....
Since i thought it was possible that i could be, my stomachs been feeling bloated... is it ok to take TUMS to make it go away?

[navajo_princess]

I took 2 pee tests today.... one this morning after i got up, and it was negative... and so i called planned parenthood, and went in for another test... It came up negative. They keep telling me that it could be because of my birth control, or stress, and all of these other reasons that are not related to pregnancy...
I dont know what to do... I feel hungry, but my stomachs bloated and I dont want to eat. I threw up last night after my boyfriend and i had eaten pizza....
I crave the weirdest things... Im craving something... just no sure what it is, you know? Ive never been through this before.
My entire family is in New Mexico, and im in Oregon. I have no one to talk to about this, and im freaking out.
I dont have insurance to go to a hospital. I just recently got a job at target.
How am i suppose to handle this? I mean I still have the symptoms but no way of actually knowing until i go get a blood test, and I dont know what Im suppose to do now.... I feel uncomfortable cause my stomach feels bloated and i get nauseous when i smell certain things... I am so moody, its driving me crazy! Yesterday was so intense... I almost started crying so many times, and then I started crying cause my stomach felt bloated and im scared cause i dont know what else could be wrong with me.... If im not pregnant then what else could it be? Ive been asking myself this question since the middle of february. can anyone else answer it and let me know what else i can do to make this a little more comfortable.

[StormAngel]

hi
have you been to the doctors yet for the blood test? you sound like your really scared!
try not to worry to much and if you need there's always someone here to talk to! :D

[willsmum]

I know you are in US and your health system is very different to ours in Australia, so some of our advice won't help you (I spent some time in Napa in Ca.), but can't you access a health centre for a blood test? If you have started work at Target are you in their health plan? Surely their HMO will cover a blood test for pregnancy?? Either way you need to put you mind at rest so even if you have to borrow money for a test, try your hardest to do it.

Good luck.

I have not been to the doctors office yet... and im not sure when i can make it... My boyfriend said that we could try and make it on Tuesday, but he has to ork, so thats not a positive answer. Then theres thursday, if i can hold out until thursday then we can make it to his the place his mom works.

something that bothers me though is that I feel all these things going on and they point to pregnancy, but what if thats not it? What else does this? :confused:

Im still getting sick, and I feel weak if im not drinking something like lemonade, i feel hungry, but bloated at the same time, and i dontt want to eat...

im tired of feeling sick amd nauseas... im like a broken record.. "i dont feel good" "i dont feel good" "i dont feel good" "i dont feel good" everyday..... how do i get it to stop??

I went to the doctors office yesterday and the doctor was in a rush so she really didnt talk to me... it felt like she didnt want me there. So she didnt talk to me about my symptoms or what was going on... all she knew was that I had breast tenderness. I mean god forbid she actually reads my chart.... But i got a blood test despite her trying to talk me out of it for 10 minutes. And i went and checked on it today. A new doctor said it was negative, and thats it, nothing else, just its negative. :eek: I asked her what was wrong with me. and she looked at me and said to set up a follow up exam... so now i have to go back in on thursday to figure out why im having all these pregnancy symptoms.... wish me luck
