How would I go about getting tested to see if I’d ingested medication I didn’t want to ?

[paranoidbutjustified]

Is this something a gp could do or I’d need to go private?

I can’t post too much detail as I’m anxious. I have a relative who I see regularly and is a very difficult personality (think narcissistic)
In the last few weeks behaviour has been odd, at first I thought nothing of it but I’m having drinks FORCED upon me and it’s very very odd. If I say no thanks it causes a problem, if I forget I HAVE to have another and this person hovers watching me drink it.
I thought it was just too much trying to be overly nice or misguided attempt to be a good host but it’s creepy.

Anyway I’ve been ill lately and the mire time I’ve spent there the worse it is and my symptoms are leading me to believe something could be in my drinks , although they taste ok.
Comments have been made too about my help being invaluable and if I were to have more children that would make it difficult and I’m starting to panic have I been given something because of this ?

I know it sounds mad but my symptoms are really really odd and there’s a lot of history with this person that could make this very likely. Is there some kind of tests I could have ? Specifically for this I’m really very worried and upset

What do you think she giving you? Contraceptives?

If seeing this person upsets you then don’t.

I never see drinks being made I’m told to go and sit down or they are just suddenly given to me although there’s a lot of stirring as I hear it which I find odd as it goes on for ages

Yes my symptoms would suggest that

I feel mad even thinking it but the symptoms I’ve had and scan results from recently have made me panic as I’ve been googling and I feel like it’s all just side effects from possibly the combined pill?
I honestly feel mad but somethings not right and it just dawned on me and the fact whenever I’m not there for a few days I bleed and my cycles have been totally erratic since this behaviour started
Honestly I want to cry I’m so worried

Call the police.

From a medical website:

'Most normal blood panels like a CBC (complete blood count) metabolic panels, liver enzyme tests etc. wont show that a woman is on the pill. If they do hormone tests, they would see elevated hormone levels. A urine drug screen will NOT show contraceptives-they are not looking for that. Urine drug screens are looking for certain illegal and controlled drugs only'.

The most important thing is not to go there again. Is this your mother?

Where would she get oral contraceptives from?

If make a GP appointment and then go to the police

Can it be tested for though or will there be no proof ? I truly feel like somethings wrong
If there was a hormone blood test I could get would it show up ? I’m even thinking and feeling mad forveven considering it but taking a sample of a drink and seeing can it be analysed ?? I’m that paranoid and can’t explain things any other way

I’m going to have to make an appt I’m sure they’ll think I’m mad but I need to as I’m worried. It’s the migraines and cycle changes that are most noticeable symptom and I’d just put it down to stress but for the fact it’s so unusual as I’m so regular usually and the pushing of drinks on me plus the scan I had and the sonographer asking was I on a contraceptive as my ovaries ‘looked very quiet’ which I found a really odd thing to say ?

Crikey. At least you have an idea of what you want to test for - that's the first hurdle really.

No idea if the GP would test this for you or if you would need to go to the police. It's police worthy, but I can see that would open up a whole nest of awfulness, especially if you're wrong.

If you are being medicated against your will what would you do? Stop visiting? Call the police? Flag them having some kind of breakdown to HCP/SS? I think the action you would take affects what you do to find out - for instance, you can stop visiting without any proof.

GP appt as a first step and make sure you've had one of these drinks before hand maybe? I assume that not seeing this person isn't an option or you wouldn't be posting.

The fact I even have to consider this makes me very upset and very aware I need to stop seeing this person now either way if it’s happened or it’s something else I can’t trust them. I feel sure though I’ve had something I can’t explain but I really don’t feel myself. I’ll be at the gp tomorrow

There would be no proof I’d imagine. But seriously - why do you see this person? I cant imagine thinking this about any of my family/friends so if you do, surely its a huge sign that this person shouldn’t be in your life.

Is there any way you could get a sample of the drink? I think it would be easier to get that tested than to have your blood tested for contraception.

I take it from updates that you're ttc OP? So potentially this isn't a case of trying to stop you getting preg in an abstract sense, but a determined attempt to prevent you succeeding?

If you really don't want the confrontation start taking a drink with you and say you can't drink there as the water doesn't seem to agree with you and you're always ill afterwards.

But tbh I'd be going for the proof and confrontation on this one. This is potentially trying to stop you ttc. What happens if you do get pregnant and keep visiting? Will they try to induce a miscarriage? I'd be too scared to see them.

Your GP will be able to do nothing about this. Testing hormone levels won't work because they vary so much throughout the month anyway.

If you think you are being poisoned you need to stop contact with this person, stop drinking and eating things you haven't personally prepared and call the police.

I think although it’s been a difficult relationship I felt I had to help out of duty I suppose. Now I feel I’m so relied upon and all the comments about not being able to lose my help has made me suddenly think are my symptoms related to the fear of losing my help
I’m not even planning another child I just think it’s been assumed and I worry has something been done to prevent it happening ?

Or maybe I’m just unwell and having a breakdown 😢 all I know is I feel unwell and not myself. My cycle seems to be ruled by when I’m not there for more than 6 days and I’m having drinks pushed on me. I’m so confused

Being realistic, how would this person have got hold of the contraceptives? My DDs have to go to the Drs every 6 months and have their BP taken unless they won't issue the repeats, and they have to collect every month. Is that within the realms of possibility?

Yes to seeing your GP though, straight away. It must be very frightening for you, OP

No I’m not ttc the scan I had was because of some pelvic pain I’d waited months for it and I found the comment about my ovaries really strange
Now I’m thinking did it come at a good time as it’s alerted me something wasn’t quite right ?

Let me get this straight - you think your drinks are being spiked, yet you continue to drink them?!!!

There is a simple enough solution to this, isn't there? Refuse any and all good or drink whilst there. Why are you so spineless?! Grow a bloody backbone, woman!

Ye gods, I have finally read it all on here now!!

Depending on what may have been administered to you then by the time you go for a blood test if you see a GP then it might be out of your system.

How would you get a sample of the drink if the alleged poisoner is watching over you like a hawk to make sure you drink it?

It’s only dawned on me after the scan really I haven’t been there for a few days again now as cancelled going yesterday. It suddenly just hit me is this what’s been happening or maybe I’m being really awful thinking it but I can’t explain how odd the drink issue has been

Definitely tell your GP and stay away from this person. This is assault and the police would take it seriously if you approached them.
