Been to the doctor now I know, less than before!
It turns out I could be 7 weeks instead of 2 weeks, now
The last period was very short lived, it's usually 3-4 days, it was 1 day only. I only noticed because the tampons hadn't got any blood on them (prob TMI), but I brushed it aside, because my periods have been a bit strange for the last year or so.
I did a home test which came out negative, yesterday.
For the last two days, I have had fever. I called NHS 111.
I was concerned, what was going on, as fever (two days) combined with the nausea (two weeks), urinating more often, tiredness, it could be something quite horrid, because the pregnancy test was negative.
I didn't have signs of the flu, or any other infection. Though fever is an indicator of infection
They advised me to go see the doctor, and have a blood pregnancy test.
So I explained to the doctor,
I could be 7 weeks pregnant
I could be 2 weeks pregnant
I could be not pregnant and have a horrid condition
I need a blood test to confirm pregnancy.
She refused flat out to do the blood test.
She said a negative pregnancy test, is usually accurate.
So i pointed out the nausea, the fever, frequent urination, and tiredness.
She sent me for an endometriosis referral.
Great - It may well be endometriosis, but I still may be pregnant.
I have read that the home kits, look for between 50 and 1000mg of HCG or whatever.
At 2 weeks, you may not hit the lower limit.
At 6 weeks, you may be well over the limit of the test (its around 1100 at 6 weeks)
So home pregnancy tests are inconclusive, in this case.
So I explained to her, that I would like a blood pregnancy test.
She flat out refused.
Now I am stressed, infuriated, and also ill, to boot. Great outcome :(
I can accept that I'm not pregnant, if I was sure, but I'm not.
You hear about so many false negatives, that they can't be conclusive.
Also the nausea, is so bad. I very rarely go off my food, and if I do, it's because there's something very wrong. Last time, i had pneumonia!
So you'd think she'd want to investigate the nausea and the fever. No.
That doesn't matter. It's all covered by endometriosis (Not!)
Thanks Ms GP!!
