Hi ladies,
I am new to the forum and not sure if I'm posting this in the right place or not but i'm seriously at my wits end and am in need of any advice I can get.

okay here's my story...

My last period was May 28th

On 19th June (6 days before my period was due) I started spotting.
It varied from light pink to dark brown.
Had a very light period on day 2 of the spotting (but nowhere near enough to fill a pad) this lasted a day.
My periods run regularly like clockwork on a 28 day cycle and the flow is usually very heavy and very painful.
I took a test from the pound shop (negative)
The next day took a blue dye test from Lloyds pharmacy, again a negative result.
The spotting lasted 4 days then on day 5 nausea began.
then came the fatigue and mild cramping along with bad gas and bloating.
Day 7 my period was a no show and I almost fainted at work and was sent home.
Dizziness and headaches and constant hunger started so I saw the doctor on day 8.
I took a clear blue test early afternoon which was negative.
The doctor suspected pregnancy because of my symptoms and asked me to take one of their urine tests.
Again a negative result.

She said I'm either pregnant or miscarrying but not worried at this stage because I'm not experiencing any pain.
She told me to come back in a month if my next period doesn't show.

I told myself it's just my hormones playing up (even though this had never happened to me before) so I pushed it all to the back of my mind and got on with life. Until I started getting white discharge in my underwear (sorry tmi) and aching in my legs, shortness of breath when walking and can barely keep my eyes open most of the time.

Then last night I had to take my bra off because my breasts were so sore. Felt bruised and I had terrible back ache.
So I took a sainsburys test this morning. Negative again
Took another pound shop test because I don't want to waste too much money on these tests and again a negative result.

My aereolas are now a darker shade and are bigger, my breasts feel heavy and fuller.
I was only able to sleep for 2 hours last night due to the soreness of my breasts.
I phoned the doctor to make another appointment which I have on Monday.
My period is now 10 days late.

Just some background on me: I'm 26 years old, married and myself and my husband weren't ttc, it just came out of nowhere.
I'm not on the pill and have no previous medical history.

Has anyone else experienced any of this?

Is it just me going crazy?

I appreciate any feedback

Thank you for reading this (I'm sorry it's so long but i'm so frustrated now, I really need answers

Hi there! I have been through the same thing as you! My last heavy period was 27th April lasting 5 days, then on June 1st i got a weird bleed thing similar to you. Since that time, I had all the same symptoms as u, but at this time still convincing myself I am not pregnant. I took a preg test on 1st July and it was positive, line was faint, went to docs, did a test, faint line again. Doc took bloods, came back positive, so i am now roughly 3 weeks :) If i were u i would wait another week and either take a test yourself and if you miss AF and are still feeling rubbish, ask ur doctor for a blood test. You could just be very early, my bloods showed up very low levels of HCG. I hope i have helped u a little, good luck to u! i know how frustrating it is! x

I have to say you sound pregnant to me might just be too early for positive. the reason I say that is when I was unexpectedly pregnant my boobs were so sore I cried when I touched them and cried in the shower when the water touched them! Especially as you are not on any hormonal birth control that could be causing symptoms. I would do another test in a week or so. Good luck

Thank you guys for your thoughts and advice.
Congratulations Mully27!!!
My body tells me I'm pregnant but the tests are telling me I'm not.
I wasn't stressed at all until this started happening.
I'd be happy if I was pregnant and would be fine if I wasn't but I just need to know what's causing me to be ill all of the time.
My poor husband has to walk on eggshells around me because I'm constantly moody and snapping at him and I work in a nursery so it is starting to affect my job too.

Can I ask what pregnancy test you took Mully27?
Thanks again guys x

I didn't test positive until 6 weeks - 4 neg tests before that. Then wham, an extremely solid line. It can happen! I agree with waiting a bit then testing again. Or ask for a blood test? Some women never test positive on a hpt.

MrsSMorris · 05/07/2014 10:48

Thank you. Could you recommend a test worth buying?
I'm not going to test again until next weekend.
No doubt the doctor will test me again on Monday but I am going to ask for blood tests

I didn't test + till 6 weeks either, so could just be too early, I used cheap tests so I could test everyday as I wanted to know what on earth was going on!! Hope you get an answer soon

Mully27 · 05/07/2014 11:16

Hiya, i took clear blue tests, regular and digital! hope it works out for u :) x

You need to try a pink dye test, super drug do a good one but first response early result is the best!
