Aaaaggh. Why do I feel pg?

[pinotgrigio]

Why am I gagging over the toilet in the mornings, have sore, tinging boobs, am going to bed at 9.30 exhausted and yet have taken 2 pg tests, both BFN????

We aren't TTC, I'm not desperate to be pg (in that I'm not anxiously watching every sign, although I would be happy to have another).

We did BD without protection 4 weeks ago (mid-cycle), but 2 weeks later AF came, although different to usual. I did a pg test after that as I was feeling pg, it came up negative. I put it out of my mind but with tingling, sore boobs, lots of motion sickness like last time I was pg and feeling sick in general so I did another test today but still a BFN.

What's going on? Any ideas anyone? I never have any PMT so this is all a bit peculiar. Logically I'm sure I'm not pg, but I don't feel comfortable drinking & eating normally just because I have all the symptoms. We're in Australia for work, but treating it as a bit of a holiday so indulging a bit more than usual. I've been here for 5 months, so I'm sure it's not jet-lag related.

LTH - LOL I love these too! I've been reading all the archives to try to get some clues.

NBGWS - It sounds just the same doesn't it? You didn't get any answer from your GP did you? I can get to a GP here. If I still feel dodgy next week I'll go along and see what she says.

In the meantime I've got a couple of tests (didn't have the swanky digital ones last time I was pg!).

I can't be, I'm sure of it, but I don't want to drink and have stopped following my draconian diet just in case. I'd feel so guilty otherwise.

DO ANOTHER TEST!!

I didn't get an answer because I didn't go back. She was just totally convinced I was pg and on my visit she ruled out other posibilities. Her only other suggestion was to re-test in 4 weeks if I was still feeling sick.

Hoxtonchick was really kind and sent me some home tests so I used a couple of them over the space of 2 weeks. Both were neg and then the sickness passed.

I think if my periods had been a bit different I might have thought otherwise but everything apart from the tingly boobs and lack of arsyness was normal.

Toothy - you old tempter.

Will test again in morning, assuming I'm not sharing my first wee of the day with DD. 6am here is 5pm in the UK.

Lack of arsyness - LOL. I never get PMT but apparently AM being arsey. DP fell asleep in a huff on the sofa.

NOOOOO PG! I leave here at 5pm!

Where the flippin hec are you with that sort of time difference?

I'm in Sydney. Left London last July & due back in Feb. This timezone difference is ruining my mumsnetting and I can't come to the meetup. Sulk.

Sorry toothy! Nonetheless I feel REALLY sick and am going to bed. Bleaurgh.

pg - You'll have to go for a pee before you go to bed...right????

lol sackache.

PG please do another test to satisfy SA

OK. Managed to get into the loo without DD this morning. It was all very off putting trying to read the instructions and not be too obvious(haven't told DP yet, don't want to scare him for no reason) with DD hammering on the door.

Well, of course it was a BFN. I feel like a raging hypochondriac. The digital tests are a bit funky though.

Am now in a dilemma about whether to allow myself wine over the weekend. I think this must all be down to some wierd hormone surge.

I'm a bit crampy and sore boobed still. Felt sick this morning but it's gone now I've stuffed my face with a huge slab of banana bread. Yum.

I'll go to the doctors next week if it doesn't go away. Do you think this is what menopause is like?!?

Just reporting back.

Still feel pg, have gone up a dress size and have strange 'growing uterus' sensation.

Had a good retch at lunchtime and am still feeling sick most of the day.

If I'm not pg, then I want to reserve myself a place in the guinness book of records for best phantom pg ever.

Boobs aren't particularly sore any more though. Just hurt if viciously prodded to test their soreness. When I was pg before they needed a 2m exclusion zone.

You do make me laugh I can just picture you. I do hope you get some kind of result soon.

Good Luck hun!

how are you getting on, pinotgrigio?

I just nipped in for another update (this is my christmas name - we upgrade from pinot to veuve for the day . Bit oblique I know) - thanks for asking after me Lilac, just saw your post!

Well laydeez, the symptoms haven't gone away. I still feel sick every day and have the 'stretching uterus' feeling.

I went to the loo 11 times today but am not entirely sure if this isn't normal. I don't think my bladder ever got over the shock of having DD.

I have a sticky out tummy now and bigger boobs, but this could easily be put down to the sheer amount of food and wine dp and I were eating for the 6 weeks he was out here.

So, I'm off to the docs tomorrow to see if I can get to the bottom of it.

In total, 2AFs and 3BFNs, but lots of nausea, loo trips and fatness.

Whaddaya reckon she'll say?

About 16 days ago I think, but AF came a couple of days afterwards. During AF my symptoms went away and then came back again a few days afterwards.

Totally bizarre. I'm hoping its nothing sinister. I just can't work out what else would make you feel sick for 2 months.

Well I for one am keeping my fingers crossed for you. That to me sounds like a pg so I dont think i'll have to cross them too hard!

Scan!Scan! Scan!

I'm a bit scared now. If I'm pg DP will be rather upset.

I'm wondering if its PCOS (does that make you feel sick?)or a tumour?, or early menopause?

If I am though, I would be really pleased. Even if all my baby stuff is in the UK.

why would DH be upset? Does he not want another child or is it because your abroad?

I had a whole load of pregnancy symptons in the summer. Firstly I was going to the loo about 3 times a night then I was exhausted and falling asleep in the afternoon. Then I got tingly boobs - they felt as if they were about to start leaking milk (!)
I was convinced I was pg and took 3 tests but all were negative. Then I got my period amd all the symptoms stopped. I now wonder if I had a miscarriage and that was why I kept getting negative tests. Because I was sure I was pg - I have been twice and I know what it feels like!
Hope you get a better resolution. Good luck at dr's.

DP definitely doesn't want another. It would be his 4th and he's 48 now. We've nearly split up over the issue before.

Oh cupcakes, it does sound like an early miscarriage. I'm sorry .

I saw the doctor today (feeling like a complete fool) and she immediately wondered if it was a UTI. Apparently this can cause frequent urination and nausea. She also wondered if it might be an ovarian cyst, causing the stretching feeling.

So, I had an internal (nice!) and she announced she couldn't feel anything. OK, no pg I thought and was sent off to do a urine sample.

When I came back she took one look, said it looked highly unlikely that it was a UTI and said I should go for a scan. I finally clicked that when she said she couldn't feel anything in the internal it meant she couldn't find a cyst. She said it was too early to detect if I was 8 or so weeks pg by doing an internal that way.

She's sending off the sample anyway and I've got to go back in on Chrismtas Eve (!) for the results.

I toddled off to the scan place to book the scan (with probe, double nice!), but they can't do it for another 2.5 weeks because of Christmas.

Oh well. No veuve or pinot for me over christmas by the sounds of it, just in case. Unless of course the sample results come back with a UTI of course.

That's a pain. Good luck for the 24th - just want you want to be doing, I'm sure!
When is your next period due?

1st Jan, so ages before the scan.

Is there such a thing as a false pregnancy as last month i was convinced i was pregnant with nausea, swollen boobs etc but then was not, this month again i have the same symptoms!!! It's doing my head in!

My last pregnancy i had a feeling of a washing machine/knitting feeling in my stomach which i haven't had this time (although i keep having like a jumping feeling in my tummy this month)

What are others symptoms of early pregnancy????
