Am I pregnant or is it just my imagination

Hey all,

Sorry for the long post just worried and confused and my doctors have been no help. So with Christmas coming up I have no idea what to do or who I can turn to.

So I stopped taking my pill on the 5th November 2021 on the advice of my doctor and in agreement with my partner. I had what I believed to be AF between the 8th and 10/11th November. I know periods are not regular after coming of off the pill.

Now fast forward 4 weeks and I was officially due on 6th December. However, Af has not shown up yet and there is no sign of it either.

Then from the day AF I as due, I have been suffering with severe nausea and I have vomited a couple of times. To go with that I have had lower back pain, achy boobs, metallic taste in mouth amongst other things.
Due to no AF I have taken several tests but they have all come back as BFNs

I spoke to my doctors last week and they said they would do bloods to have a look if no answers by this week. However, I rang them today and spoke to a different doctor and she said that they would not do bloods and to just carry on as normal and keep testing.

So now I am freaking out as supposed to be going home for Christmas but worried because I do not want to drink and cause any issues just in case I am pregnant. My partner is annoyed as like me he just wants to figure out what is going on and why I feel like pure crap all the time.

I guess my question is do I proceed as if I am pregnant or just carry on as normal???????. My anxiety is getting the better of me and I am starting to freak out now

Hey @Brusselsprouts21

Thank you so much for your response.
I have been using frees and even they have come back negative. My sister said that it took her until she was 8 weeks to get a positive with her youngest.

I have spoken to my doctors twice. The first time my doctor said that he would get me in for bloods this week if I was still feeling the way I am. So I rang them back yesterday after still getting all negative tests and ended up speaking to a different doctor and she said that they do not do anything and to just keep testing every week and they would not do anything until AF was 6 months late. Even though I said I thought I was pregnant. The doctor even said to me I hope for your sake you are not pregnant. I was so upset and confused but had a job interview and so needed to focus on that.

I just feel so let down by the people who are supposed to help and now have no idea what to do. Have severe anxiety and being autistic is really not helping

Which tests have you been using. First response ones are the most accurate. I would be phoning the doctors and chasing up blood tests or any examination if you have been vomiting as its been a week. Always test on first morning wee. It took me until i was 6 weeks to show i was positive after testing everyday for 9 days. Sometimes you just know. I hope you get the outcome you want.
