Symptoms before BFP

Mavis
Very sorry about your experience. I hope you get a positive soon.
Take care

I think I might complain. I have just found that since having the mc midwives and doctors have been quite insensitive. Even though it was an early mc at 6 weeks it still hurt and the pregnancy still feels very real. I just don't understand why you cannot be taken seriously. Sometimes I feel cross with myself because I wasn't forceful enough or didn't ask the right questions.

The doctor I saw today said that if the pain in my abdomen was an ectopic pregnancy then it would have ruptured within 24 hours. and I have had this pain for about 2 weeks.

I shall be weeing on a stick again next week though just to find out for sure.

oh woose
that is awful, i mean wtf!
irritable bowel thats a new one. any women with abdo pain and late period needs to be taken seriously. hope you get to see a proper doc tomorrow. are you feeling upto a little complaint to the practice manager?
it is so wrong that you left there in tears, how insenstive. im and for you.
sending best wishes.

Hi all
Thanks for support. Just got back from Doctor and was a complete waste of time. The doctor I saw I had not seen before and he was the worst doctor I have ever been to. Firstly he did not listen to a word I said about the pain in my left side, the pregnant symptoms, the negative test last Sunday and how I am 8 days over my period date. He just ignored all this and said he it was probably irritable bowel syndrome. I have never had this and I know that is not what is wrong. He said I may have been 'vaguely pregnant' but that it has probably just gone away. What is he on!!! The minute I saw him I thought I don't even know I can tell you all the things that had happened to me. He was very unsympathetic about the miscarriage i had. I left the room crying. I tried to make another appointment with a different doctor but I have to wait until tomorrow to do that. I just feel terrible now and don't know what to do. I feel so angry that these doctors get paid so much money and then they just treat their patients like a piece of s**t

yay for those peeing on sticks on friday!
never had nausea before period.
got fingers crossed for us all.

No, I've never had nausea before a period - PMT, but I haven't got that right now...interesting, eh?

i'll be peeing on a stick friday too... assuming period dont arrive before then. Do you ladies normally get nausea before a period? i feel like i'm going mad

Sounds like we'll both be doing the wee-on-a-stick thing on Friday then, welshprincess . Good luck with it .

it is rubbish, am sure its a money thing. they know i'll either get a period or keep testing myself. of course hcg can be detected now... cant stand being treated like an idiot

can i join in too? im due af tomorrow. have been feeling cramping but not af cramping, nausea and tiredness.
did a cheapo test on monday- bfn. but it was the afternoon. cant test tomorrow as my dh is away with work and i cant bear to do it without him being around.
will wait with you all if thats ok?
yb. that is pants of your doctor. why 6 weeks? load of old cobblers if you ask me.

good luck woose.
there are lots of us in this boat!!
my doc said i could have a blood test but now says i cant have it till Jan as it wouldnt work this early which i kow is rubbish cos i had them at 4 weeks last time. i still feel sick... but getting period feelings too....

Oop, x post, woose. Fingers still crossed for you.

There's a lot of us in this boat, aren't there? I'm the same - all the symptoms but can't test accurately till Friday.

Woose, is it worth getting checked at surgery? Some ectopic pregnancies aren't picked up by preg tests, and abdominal pain can be a symptom.

I don't want to worry you, of course, but it might be an idea to rule it out. Best of luck.

Good luck Woose. As you can see from previous posts I had all my usual pregnancy symptoms and two faint positive tests. But after second faint positive I felt it wasn't right as I thought the line would have got stronger. Still had all my usual symptoms though. A few days later more painful cramps started and I started to bleed heavily. I took another test which was negative so I knew the game was up. I am convinced I had a very early miscarriage and I knew I was pregnant although felt mad at the time. Not a very positive story for you I'm afraid but just to let you know you are not alone in what you are going through and I hope its more positive for you.

I am going to go the doctors this afternoon to discuss what is going on and I I will ask if i can have a blood test. Still feel as if am preggers, even feel more sick today, but left hand side pain still there, am paranoid about ectopic pregnancy!

no, not mad. you can get cramps with early pregnancy too.. i have with both of mine. i'm getting some cramps too... have done on and off for couple of weeks but last day or so stronger so af is prob about to turn up. try not to worry... waiting is awful though! you should keep eye on one sided pain though... any chance you could get blood test done?

Hi everyone
The same thing is happening to me. I feel pregnant, metalic taste in mouth, sore boobs and slight nausea. I had a mc in Oct. and had one normal cycle since, but then nothing. Have tried testing twice, once on due date on 12th and once on Sunday 16th, both negative. I am totally convinced I am pregnant though. Have this really nagging pain low down on left side though which is constant and is the same pain I had when I had mc. so convonced that I am pregnant and about to have mc. Am I mad?

Oh yeah, I also sneezed all the way through my pregnancy

that's very true yellowbean I'd test again if your AF doesnt arrive, do let us know!

Symptoms I had before BFP with my son: went off coffee, fags, alcohol, and about two weeks before I tested my boobs grew. I still had no idea I was pg - only tested cos I was going to GP and I knew he was gonna ask if I'd tested.

yes, but with a tummy bug i'm assuming i'd actually be sick or have poo problems, rather than having nausea for 2 weeks. tummy bugs ont last 2 weeks

Hi girlies, sorry to put a dampener on - There is a very dodgy tummy bug flying round at the moment. Also not sure if you'd be feeling sick so early on (?)
I could be totally wrong though. If you're still feeling bad in a week (or worse) do another test - It might just be too early to test.
I'm also feeling sick, although I did have rather a lot to drink last night

ok. i still feel sick, still getting neg tests, period not due till next friday(i think)..... Any news with you ladies?

hi ladies... i'm going through what youtwo recently have... what ghappened with you? did you go to the doc? what did they do/say? hope you're okay

Good luck helgaw99, i have just taken a test which was BFN , i'm feeling sick but maybe i have a bug

Oh Helga, I'm sorry about your BFN. Maybe you are still testing a bit early as you've not had a period for a while. Let us know how you get on at the doctor. Take care, I know how hard the disappointment can be. We were ttc for two years before dd1 and its very hard I know. Keep your chin up lovey x
