I'm a regular that's name changed , If you look closely enough you may realise who I am but please don't out me .

I didnt know where best to post so o hope this is the right place .

My last AF was the 17th of April but I didnt really pay any attention to not having another as was to busy .
4 weeks ago i started with what can only be described as severe morning sickness for 2 1/2 weeks at which point it kinda clicked so i did 3 of those Clear Blue pregnancy tests which all came back positive & then the next day i started bleeding , it wasn't overly heavy but had lots of lumps which is not usual for me (sorry tmi Blush ) & was in agony for 2 days .
After that i pretended nothing had happened & i eventually went to see my Doctor yesterday who did Pg test & took some bloods .
He also asked if i were in a serious relationship to which i said yes & he asked if i were trying for a baby so I said yes which we have taken the 'let nature take its way' & not using contraception etc .
Que doctor been a twat saying that im much to young & he doesn't think I am in a sturdy relationship Hmm
Anyway he just rang me back now with my blood results & says that it is highly unlikely that I were ever pregnant because their is nothing showing up in my bloods but if I was then I gave Miscarried.
I can't possibly see how all 3 tests were wrong & I know my body iyswim

I don't know why im writing this down , is it possible they were all wrong , including my own body telling me ?
I can't make sense of this at all .
It didnt help that my doctor was so cold yet I have known him for years

He's being a knob.

The home tests are very reliable, if you had three positive tests then you were pregnant and then sadly you miscarried soon after you realised. The hormones drop and you will then get a negative test at some point, usually the earlier you were the quicker it will drop back to zero. You don't say how long elapsed before you saw the doctor but it's perfectly reasonable that by that point you were testing negative again.

It's none of his business how old you are or what your relationship is like.
A lot of doctors seem to underestimate what an impact a miscarriage can have. There is very little they can do to prevent a first trimester loss and it is sadly very common, but they seem to take that to mean it's not important or traumatic for the individual involved. I'm sorry you were not treated with more respect and kindness.

It took me a week & 1/2 to get the courage to see my Doctor as I wanted to see him specifically as he has been good to me in the past .
Thanks

Your Dr was very rude and unprofessional. It is not his business to judge when you are ready for a baby. You are not 14! You are an adult and as such it is your choice.

I'm sorry about your mc. He seems completely wrong on that count too.

I wholeheartedly agree with Bakingtins - he's being a knob.

26!! I would contact PALS. It would be rude if you were 17 let alone 26.

GPs can be nobbish about age - as far as I can see they think under 30 = too young, over 30 = scare stories about drying up. FFS.

If you're really annoyed, you have every right to contact PALS and complain!

What's PALS

So sorry about the m/c. Of course 3 pregnancy tests can't be wrong. The doctor sounds mad to me. And the stuff he said about your relationship is wildly inappropriate!!
