I posted a bit earlier about this but asked a different question.

Right, background...

I've been feeling nauseous (sp) for the last 2 weeks. My boobs started to hurt a week ago and I started to think I could be Pg as I wasn't getting any PMT signs either like spots or being moody (lol!)
But on monday, AF arrived. It was slightly lighter than normal but not massively. The only other thing that struck me (TMI alert!) was the clots they normally just come out without me noticing but this time they were there only when I went to pee.

So after a weird pregnancy dream involving lots of cots, pushchairs and quintuplets, I decided to go to the dr's.
She ruled out Vertigo, Cold/Flu and stomache upsets as I've had no other symptoms. She also felt my stomache and after a bit of writing she said "it sounds from what you've told me, it's a preganacy and tbh if this does come back negative I want to do another test as it can take a few weeks to show". So I was asked to bring in a urine sample.

I rang them today and after a bit of confusion it has come back negative. The receptionist called me back later and said my Gp has asked me to re test in 4 weeks
Dh isn't happy about it as he thinks if it's something else it needs sorting out.

The reason I went to the Gp in the first place was to eliminate any other cause of feeling sick so to wait another 4 weeks seems mad.
I am just soo confused and baffled so I thought I'd ask you guys and see if you can help me see a bit clearer.

Do you think I could be pg?
Could I re test earlier than 4 weeks?
Is it worth me home testing or will I be just wasting my money?
And if it's not pregnancy, what is it?

All honest replies gratefully received. I'd like to get some sleep tonight!

nbg I have felt sick for the last 3 weeks. Everyone was starting to look at me a bit funny (! I have 3 children and not plannign any more as I am 41 among other reasons, but I people keep asking me lol) but in fact I am not pg (have just had period, all normal) and in the end I went to the doc who did lots of tests and diagnosed gastro-enteritis caused by some bacterial infectionand put me on antibiotics.
Think tipex is talking a lot of sense here.

Ah that is interesting.

Why wouldn't my GP have eliminated this though?
