I look like I am pregnant???

Hello

I was on here last month because I suspected I might be pregnant, I had all the symptoms. I got some early detection tests and tested a couple of days before I was due but got BFN, then my period came but was so light and at points actually stopped. I really thought I was pregnant and tested after I finished but still BFN. Anyway I forgot all about it and I have continued as normal, was out at the weekend and got very very drunk. Today I put on a tight vest that I only wore the other week and was suprised at the shape of my stomach. It is sticking out alot more than normal, high and and round and quite firm. I said nothing and waited to see if my partner noticed and straight away when I walked in the room , he was like "Look at your stomach, I hope your not pregnant with all that alcohol you drank on Saturday"...

I have heard storied about people doing lots of tests and getting BFN for a couple of months. If I am pregnant it would mean that I am about 6.5 weeks approx - would I show this early wit a second pregnancy? I mean my stomach is not massive but I am quite slim, if I had just put some weight on surely it would go around my hips, bum, face etc...not just cause a high tight bump - what do you reckon? Shall I test or sit tight and wait for next period whaich is not due until the end of next week? Also last week I broke out in lots of spots which I only normally get the week before I am due.

Hello

I got a clear blue test yesterday and... BFN!

I swear I will not waste money on another test again

I am sooooooooooooooooo sick of getting BFN!!!

What is going on with my body???

I feel sick all day and I have felt like this on and off for weeks - surely a stomach bug cant last that long. I have a constant smell in my mouth and I am convinced I can smells rotting eggs in our bathroom all the time even though my dh says I am imagining it. Plus last week I almost fainted and had to sot down in the street. This is what happended when i found out about my first pregnancy.

If i am pregnant I would be 6+ weeks but tests keep saying I am not, there is def no line telling me I am. I am confused and my tummy is so hard, swollen and high...

This is driving me mad!

I am due end of next week, I bet I will have another really light period and I will carry on wondering and buy a another test!!!!

No I cant!

Sorry it should read

"I have a constant horrible taste in my mouth.." not "smell" - see pregnancy brains

madigan - i brought mine off ebay. £4.10 inc p&p for 3 ultra early test strips, ordered them Tuesday, arrived this morning, their ebay shop is simplyfertility.com. waiting to try them next week.

lovecloud - sorry to hear about BFN.

DH asked earlier if pg - says boobs and belly grown overnight. still not testing till next week

munz · 21/07/2005 13:24

LC - been following this with intrest, I think i'd be tempted to go to the dr's for blood tests, apparently you can still get a BFN test till 8 weeks (according to my friends DR)

hello munz

that is interesting...

i did ask my gp if there was a possibility that tests could give you a negative result at 6 weeks and she said she had never heard of it.

my dh frlt my tummy today and he can not beleive how tight and hard it is, it looks bigger but not fleshy, the whole of the front of my tummy is hard so if I am not pregnant then what could it be?

Wind, blocked intestines??? I got to toilet reguarly and I have no stomach pains what so ever.

I will hang onto the hope that the tests are just not finding the hormones. I am also due my period end of next week so that will be a big sign, if it is light like the last one I will think I def am but if it is heavy like my normal periods than i know I just have a very hard stomach and will have to go back to the docs to find out what is wrong with me.

Spoke to a friend today (does not know about my palaver) she was saying how swollen and hard her stoamch is and thinks its due to stress?

Got mr thinking, I am pretty stressed most of the time so could I just have this tummy to stress - but what about the sickness and horrible taste in my mouth that only goes away when I eat?

How are this evening and whats happening with you?

munz · 21/07/2005 20:35

not too much, my DH has just walked in with one of his buds, so fraid i'm gonna have to shoot off, but def get to the dr's to a check over just incase.

(will be on tomorrow when i'm at work)

trying4bump · 21/07/2005 22:33

if my af is due 3rd august when would be the earliest that i could test???
hope4bump when are you testing??
hope we all get bfp

jabberwocky · 22/07/2005 06:06

Went through the same thing recently LC. Did 7 tests . I was soooo sure I was pregnant. Had every sign and symptom from before. AF arrived 10 days late...

hope4bump · 22/07/2005 09:26

LC hope things work out for you soon.

trying4bump - i have just filled in my info on ff and its showing me as 4dpo so gonna test next Friday, will be 11dpo, what about you?

hope4bump · 22/07/2005 09:29

the tests i got off ebay say that you can test 7-10days before AF due, they measure 10miu. which for me is anytime after monday, how will i manage trying to wait until end of next week?

Diddle · 22/07/2005 10:55

lovecloud - My Af is one week late now which for me would mena if i am pg i will be 6 wks today. I have done tests all the time and got BFN's, considering going to the doctors to see what they can do. My belly is sticking out more than normal too and in a pg way not a fat way. I can normally suck it in, but not anymore. I am convinced that I am pg but have not had any confirmation. But there is still hope for us till AF comes. We could be I hope so.

Hey Diddle

Fingers crossed for you

I am not late, I am not actually due on until next week but my last period was so light and that is what happended with my first pregnancy, had a very light period and thouught nothing of it and it was only when my next period never came that i tested, I think by then I was about 7 weeks. Which would be the same if I dont come on end of next week.
I am not going to let myself get down about it, I am going to think I am not and if I find out next week that I am then great, but all this thinking and wishing is tiring

hi
we were at mil's this weekend, dh let out i think im pregnant and mil asked why i stood up and showed her my belly and she was in shock, she could not beleive the size and shape and cant think of any other reason why my belly would be like that... but if i am pregnant and my body has reacted so fast, why have i not tested positive. i know i am due on end of this week so people will now say its because im due on but my belly was like this last week and i never normally get a swollen stomach before periods. it is annoying me so much... cant wait for the end of this week. what if my perios comes, i will have to go back to go to find out whats happening with my stomach???

hope4bump · 25/07/2005 09:05

hope you find out all the answers soon lovecloud.
I am trying to hold out until Friday to test, will be 11DPO, feeling very tired this morning maybe just cos had busy weekend, stomach still feeling odd, and boobs alittle sensative, trying not to build hopes us too much, but thats easy to say.

hope everyone had good weekend

Hello

My tummy is still sticking out, high, round and seems to have grown since last week. My boobs also felt sensitive today which is very unusual for me, I have not really felt sick at all but I kept smelling eggs and cabbage this morning - that is driving me mad. Earlier on this evening I had few pains not cramps in my lower tummy and I have broke out in a lot of spots so I am thinking that maybe my period will come

I am due this Friday, I am worried that if I am not pregnant then why has my tummy has grown to this size??? I mean it is noticeable with all my clothes. I am quite skinny so I cant hide it. I found myself today sucking it all most of it as I noticed one person eye it.

Its strange, I have even found myself rubbing it amd my dh thinks im mad!!!
