I will try to summarise because I am very confused with what might be happening. Any insight would be much appreciated.
I’ll start by saying it is normal for me to have no periods for over a year after having a baby and breastfeeding. My older daughters my cycles returned when they were 13 and 14 months. My third child DS is now 17 months and I haven’t had a period yet . I’ve been having mild cramps but no other symptoms.
It’s also relevant that I had a pelvic ultrasound post partum 1 year ago and it was normal.
It crossed my mind recently that maybe I should take a pregnancy test . We are not using contraceptives and would be open to another one. I took one last Wednesday and it was faint positive , took two on Thursday and they were both positive including a clear line on a frer. assumed I am pregnant on first ovulation.
I took another test on Friday and it was totally negative. Saturday and Sunday the same. Monday I went to the doctor and they did a hcg blood test which was negative . Less than 5. Doctor said it was not possible for it to be a loss as it wouldn’t have dropped that quickly. Said it must have been a false positive but three tests?! doctor implied most likely answer is a false or incorrectly done test and my cycles have not actually kicked in yet.
I am concerned because it’s now a week and a half from my negative test and I’ve had nothing. No bleeding, period of any kind. What’s going on?! I have asked to be referred for an ultrasound as I’m worried something else must be going on… can anything else cause a positive pg test ?! Perimenapause ? I’m 34 is that likely?
grateful for any help or comments. I get very anxious about my health so please be mindful in the comments !! Thank you
