Is my body playing tricks on me

[Gillseybear]

Sorry for the long post just confused and stressed

I swear my body is playing tricks on me and trying to stress me out around what has already been a stressful few months.

I know that periods do not return to normal straight away after coming of the pill however, the pregnancy symptoms alongside are driving me insane.

I last took my pill on the 5th November. I had what I thought was AF (although it was lighter than normal) between the 8th and 11th of November. Due to having what I thought was AF I was expecting my cycle to go back to normal. According to Flo I was due on last Monday. However we are over a week later now and still no sign of AF

At first I was not to concerned however, when the nausea/vomiting, achy boobs, fatigue and change in discharge kicked in, I just had a feeling that I was pregnant. So I did a few tests and they all came back negative.

I spoke to my doctor last week and he said to keep testing over the weekend if still no positive and no sign of my AF then he would do blood tests.

I have done what he told me to do and still all my tests have been negative. So I rang the doctors back today to speak to him. My doctor was not in and so I ended up speaking to somebody different. This doctor has said that she will not do anything and that they will not look into it for me or do blood tests.

Therefore, I have just been left over Christmas with no idea what's going on and trying to figure out if I am expecting or not. I just have to keep doing a test every week and hope for the best.

Any advice on how I approach this with Christmas coming up???? Dunno whether to chance drinking or not and do not want to tell family just in case I actually am not expecting

Any advice will be greatly appreciated right now

Anybody got any advice. Am so confused right now

@Gillseybear bless you, this horrible for you to be left wondering.
I'm sorry the only advice I have for you is too promote your self care over Christmas, whether it's a bath, sitting with your favourite snacks and binging on Christmas TV etc.

I find my mind plays tricks on me with pregnancy symptoms. I've took a break from actively trying this month and will pick up again in January using opk which will hopefully help me.

Here's hoping your doctor will get back to you this week and there's no harm in phoning again to see if they are back to the surgery in the meantime take plenty of care of yourself 💜xx

Hey @GingerbreadTM

Thank you so much for your response. That's what I am planning to do just concerned about how much relaxing I am actually able to do. It's why I wanted answers as I do not drink loads but I do like the odd drink especially over Christmas. So not knowing means I dunno what to do especially as I am seeing family and I have not told them yet for obvious reasons.

We were not TTC and this is a complete accident. I think I would be happy if I am but not sure yet as I have not really had time to process what is going on. Just had so much else going on that I have not really had time to sit down and think. My partner is also unsure but it's something we will have a proper discussion about if I get a BFP

Thank you ever so much again

If your pregnancy tests are negative I’d assume you’re not pregnant.
The symptoms of your natural cycle kicking back in are very similar to pregnancy. I’ve had it when stopping the pill and when my periods returned after breastfeeding.
If it was me I’d assume I wasn’t pregnant seeing as the tests are negative and just live my life as normal

I would assume you're not pregnant if you're getting negative tests. Probably just things starting again if you've come off the pill.

Hey thank you @Didyeaye and @Shavingrash I did wonder that myself but was unsure hence why I hopped the doctors would do the blood tests for me. I just hopped I could get answers before I went home for Christmas.

Will just carry on as Normal for now and take the doctors advice and test a couple of times a week

@Gillseybear take your time to process everything, I'm still coming to terms with a chemical pregnancy in July. Being left in limbo by the doctors is horrible I had the worst experience after my loss and everything is blamed on covid unfortunately.
I hope you're ok and things work out the way you and partner are hoping for 💜xx

Honestly the whole situation sucks and it is really getting me down now. I dunno what to think or feel anymore and I just want somebody to help me find answers because the longer I leave it the more stressed I am getting.

I have stuff planned for over the Christmas holidays that I cannot do if I am pregnant hence why I want answers. It's just so frustrating as I do not want to do them if I am pregnant but if I am not then I could potentially miss out on experiences with my partner and his family. I am in a lose lose situation and it's just getting to me a bit now

I'm sorry to say but if you have enough hormones to give you pregnancy symptoms you would have enough for a positive test. Like others have said relax and enjoy Christmas and things should settle down.
