What to think

[confusedmum1803]

My last period was may 16th it was heavier and lasted longer than normal then in June I never had a period at all then in July about a week after I was supposed to get my period I had light spotting(only when I wiped) but it only lasted for a few hours then completely stopped I have been experiencing nausea dizziness gas enlarged breasts and I have noticed veins are very visible and also bloatingto the point where my clothes are a lot more snug than they used to be I have done a test a 5 days ago and it said negative so not sure what to think could I be pregnant but if I am how come it doesn't show up on the test Any advice/experiences would be appreciated

It sounds like you should test again in a few days to me. I'm 2 days past my period due date, have all the same symptoms & i got a decent line on a tesco test.

Go and see your GP.

It is possible you are PG but it weirdly hasn't shown on ordinary tests. Or there could be other issues influencing your hormones (and therefore menstrual cycle). You need a doctor to go through these (and any relevant medical history) and get further tests done if indicated.

I had a similar experience but it was when my DS was starting solids and breast feeding decreased. My hormones were all over the place and I had all the pregnancy symptoms. I was certain I was pregnant again...but I wasn't. Like others said, wait a few days and try another pregnancy test. If you are worried book an appointment with your doctor to be sure.

I had blood tests done about a month ago and nothing out of the ordinary showed up

If it's been 5 days since you last tested(that's real willpower!) then I'd test again in the morning...

Agreed. Test again in couple of days and, if still negative, go to docs. I tested 23rd Dec, said was over 5 weeks pregnant & I miscarried at 7 weeks after bleeding started 5th Jan but only came off pill to start ttc in Oct. After, got period tracker app, on 20th July checked it and period day late (normally v.regular, but not regular after starting thyroid meds & when I came off pill). Tested, eh voila, 1-2 weeks pregnant (actually 3-4 weeks as date from conception, tested again 27th and says am 3+ (that is 5 weeks) pregnant. Have asked doc for early scan. Symptoms last time, nothing fit, bigger & sore boobs & seriously sick (caffeine & pasta, which I LOVE, made me really ill been doing decaf redbush tea ever since). This time nothing fits again, boobs starting get bigger, not sick yet (hurray), but now got cold. Both times from size 8 to 12 in like 3/4 weeks. You appear to have similar symptoms. FX for you & good luck. Try not to worry.

Last time I had no idea how pregnant I was, believed I was about 9-10 weeks when went for scan 10th Jan, but baby's heart had stopped at 7 weeks. Delayed miscarriage.
