How am I meant to know?

So my Fiance and I are trying for a baby and my period is currently 8 days late. I get cramps and need to wee a LOT more than normal and I already have nausea but it's been worse lately. Thing is my tests have come back negative and I have had blood tests for other things.. would it be any blood test that can pick up pregnancy or is it a specific one? My sister is currently 18 weeks pregnant... Am I maybe having a phantom pregnancy? I have had like 5 tests each negative but they are immediately negative then after waiting the allotted time it stays negative. I am on a fair bit of medication including pain killers and anti sickness tablets so I have stopped taking those until I know. I was told I could keep taking the anti sickness tablets until I know I'm pregnant then when I am they will switch me to one that is pregnancy friendly if I need it. I am hoping to get to the drs ASAP but it's usually a 2 week wait unless it's classed as an emergency and it's what they consider an emergency (I don't know if this would count. To me it's an emergency because I need to know and get my medication in check so I don't potentially harm my baby but it's if THEY consider it to be an emergency)

Why else could I be getting symptoms but negative results? First time posting. Thanks in advance for any help and reading this.

I wasnt able to be seen until today. It looks like I am pregnant but they wanted another blood test to see if the levels are rising to be sure that it is viable

So I had my blood test and when I rang up they wouldn't give me my results (they usually do once a dr has signed them off) but this time they said to me they needed to talk over the phone and wanted to ring me a week tomorrow. They then rang back and said they needed it to be face to face and I'm booked in Thursday but am to ring tomorrow first thing to try to get seen tomorrow.

Thing is if I wasn't pregnant or if nothing was wrong they wouldn't be wanting me to come in would they? Now I'm not saying I am pregnant I'm just wondering if something must be going on one way or another as they aren't telling me over the phone like they usually do and then they said it NEEDED to be face to face.

Currently just over 2 weeks late but tests are still negative (no FR yet) guess I will just have to see what the blood test says but my nausea has been so much worse especially the past 3 or 4 days.

Sorry, excuse me. I mean, good luck with getting the result you're hoping for x

14StoneInADay · 06/04/2018 22:59

I was prescribed both of those during pregnancy, and another I can't remember but would know if I saw the name. Was finally given ondansatron which was literally a life saver!
Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy

So next step is a blood test but she was telling me to get onto contraception if i dont want a baby (I never said that and I didnt get to correct her because she kept talking then hung up) if the bloods are negative I was told to just wait for my period.

What anti sickness meds are you on? I took loads of different ones throughout pregnancy for HG.

It's the anti sickness tablets that worry me and I will see what the doctors say tomorrow. Still no sign of my period.

I would keep taking your meds. I was in a similar situation with painkillers. Most drugs only become an issue when the placenta takes over. What drugs are you taking?

Clear blue aren’t the most sensitive of tests so I would definitely try to get a FRER or a Superdrug test (with the purple dye).

sorry for the extra posts. the earliest I can get seen is thursday afternoon. I should be fine to keep taking my meds right? I have spent days in agony and feeling like I could vomit because I havent taken pain killers or anti sickness tablets but even clear blue says im not pregnant so tablets? or is it best to still hold off until a dr can see me?

If you’re getting in touch with the doctor anyway, perhaps you could suggest putting you on pregnancy friendly nausea meds now (if you need to continue taking them), then you won’t need to worry that they’ll be doing any harm.
Good luck 😊
