POSITIVE IM PREGNANT…

👶

background info:

my cycle used to be irregular and extra long but I started taking prenatal procieve supplements 3 months ago which helped regulate my cycle.. so the past 3 months my cycle has been on average 35 days which is great for tracking and ttc.

my menstrual period always lasts 5 days since I was a teen

keeping this information in mind, here’s my query..

  • my last period was July 4th to 8th
  • I had unprotected on July 10th
  • Had light pink /light red spotting on July 14th
  • Had nausea July 15th
  • according to Flo app: July 19th fertile days started
  • Had mild abdominal pain and cramps July 22nd
  • Had spotting again on July 26th
  • Had unprotected again on July 29th
  • Spotted light pink on tissue the next day on July 30th
  • Spotted this creamy light brown/pink discharge in my underwear next day on July 31st and took a picture (won’t post it but if someone who has been pregnant before could message me to confirm if it could be an early sign.. that would be kind of you)
  • according to Flo app: 1st August fertile days ended
  • Had unprotected sx again on August 6th
  • Spotted light red blood on tissue twice & also having weird stomach feeling (not pain) on August 9th
  • Spotted light red/pink blood in tissue and had mild cramps in the left side of my lower stomach on August 10th
  • spotted light pink/red again in August 11th
  • spotted light pink/red only on tissue on August 12th

i was (and still am) taking my proceive prenatal conception tablets

so, the Flo app told me I was due for my period on Monday august 12th and there was also a message on the app that said -spotting at this stage in your cycle could be a sign of implantation bleeding ..
but no period came on my due date even though my cycle has been consistent

continuing..

  • Spotting and abdominal pain on August 14th
  • Headache, milky white creamy discharge on august 15th
  • Spotting again & negative preg test on august 16th (DID I TEST TOO EARLY?)
  • Unprotected sex again on August 17th then in the evening felt abdominal pain & mild cramps
  • Acne breakout has arrived (around 3-4 small spots) on august 22nd
  • Spotting again mild craps and abdominal pain, with sticky tacky glue-like gummy discharge that when I roll it between my fingers it curls up (wnd the amount of one small green pea ) August 26th
  • Constantly getting constipated after eating at this point
  • Spotting lightly on tissue a brown / light red colour & the same glue like tacky gummy discharge on august 27th
  • August 28th went to GP who said negative test I got on 16 august indicates I may not be pregnant however I explained to them the unreliability of preg test for some women and how some women test negative but find out they were infact pregnant either due to too high hcg levels or too low or needing a blood test instead and I explained it’s affecting my social life because I’m now avoiding alcoholic drinks incase I am pregnant - August 28th
  • Still August 28th , in the afternoon, after my go appointment - I got the gummy tacky glue-like discharge again!
  • Extremely creamy milk white discharge , looks healthy but happening more often for the past 2 weeks - August 29th
  • Present day: acne is still here but not extremely bad, just 3-5 spots on my face and small pigmentation marks

so now.. I have a hcg Blood test booked for Tuesday 3rd September with gp although according to Flo I would only be 4 weeks and a few days pregnant (if I am) so I’m worried if it will show positive on a blood test or is it too early .. but fingers crossed

What would you say as a guess? I feel pregnant but I’m not sure .

I would assume I’m not pregnant if I got zero symptoms and only had a missed period, however all of these symptoms and weird occurrences don’t make sense. I still have no sign of a period coming either

Have you tested again?

Procrastinates · 31/08/2024 17:03

If you've tested negative then I would say you're unfortunately not pregnant despite how many other symptoms you may have.

CosmicLove · 31/08/2024 17:05

I would definitely recommend testing again. If flo app thinks your 4+ weeks you'd be very unlikely to get a false negative and you'd know either way x

Ella31 · 31/08/2024 17:19

Apps are not always accurate. They go only on information you give them. If you are this overdue for your period, a test would be blazing positive by now I'm afraid

If you haven't had periods since July then any test would show positive by now. Wanting desperately to be pregnant is not going to make a test positive if you are not pregnant.

Jellybelly888 · 31/08/2024 17:57

So sorry OP, it does sound like you’re not pregnant this time. Pregnancy tests these days are so accurate and reliable at detecting pregnancies, even very early on with women with low HCG.

Your symptoms may just be normal but perhaps you’re just a bit heightened to them at the moment? And noticing more things than usual?

I think the GP would have tested your blood if they were in any doubt of their tests.

Wishing you the best.

Quaver9 · 31/08/2024 18:03

many of the symptoms you describe are synonymous with PMS and ovulation, cramping, changes in discharge, hormonal breakouts etc. I’m sorry but if multiple tests are negative you’re not pregnant.

hello33sunshine · 31/08/2024 21:35

When did you last take a pregnancy test?

Janedoe3 · 31/08/2024 21:38

I have only tested once.

These aren’t my PMS symptoms and my period would’ve started by now. My period is 2 weeks late and these symptoms also match pregnancy too..

also where did you get that I tested multiple times? I only tested once

Why have you not tested again?

SurpriseTwinPregnancy · 31/08/2024 21:41

You’ve requested blood tests to test for a pregnancy but you’ve only done one pregnancy test?! What?!

Unfortunately doctors don’t get it right 24/7 that’s what I love about women’s bodies. Anything is possible

I’ve been pregnant before and never tested positive until I had a blood test

Yes, what’s wrong ? If my gp thinks it’s fine they obviously do for good reason

they can refuse a blood test

they can see on my records in the past that this issue happened last time I was pregnant

I tested negative on a stick before but tested positive on blood test

OP posts:
GenghisCalm · 31/08/2024 21:49

Still don't understand why you are writing a massive post about all your symptoms asking us if you are pregnant when you only tested once and you think that you did it too early.

Just piss on a stick.

Jellybelly888 · 31/08/2024 21:51

lol literally no point in anyone replying at all is there? You’re just so defensive and have your agenda and are sticking to it.

You sound like a complete nightmare.

TheShellBeach · 31/08/2024 21:52

Why don't you just take a pregnancy test FFS.

TheShellBeach · 31/08/2024 21:52

FWIW I don't think you're pregnant.

needhelpwiththisplease · 31/08/2024 21:54

Jesus ... just do a test and stop wasting nhs time & money

TheShellBeach · 31/08/2024 21:55

POSITIVE YOU'RE NOT PREGNANT
