Should I make a fuss?

Hi,
I was looking for some advice before going to see my doctor.
I have had pregnancy symptoms since mid/late August but still no positive test. My breasts are big and sore plus painful indigestion/heartburn and recently have felt light headed, hot and achy, my last period was in July. I went to the drs 2/3wks ago and she brushed it off as hormonal changes from coming off the pill in April, although I had 2 normal cycles before ttc. I know it took my Mum ages to get a positive test when she was pg and the dr told her she must be bulimic! So.. How much fuss do I make with the Dr? I don't want to waste her time and look silly but I am finding all of these symptoms worrying and want to know what is wrong with me if it is not pg. Thanks x

I think I will, I was hoping she would suggest one last time but this time I might be a more insistent. Thanks princesscupcakemummyb x

Could have written your post, including the visit to GP!
Figured may as well wait and see. Finally got a faint line, went back to GP - he said, 'well, that solves that mystery!' ....
