Am I pregnant or just dying?

Approximately 2 weeks ago my period finished, a couple of days after it finished i had some bright red, stringy, spotting. I am on the pill.
A week after my period stopped I woke up in the night feeling sick and promptly threw up.
Since that fateful night I have felt nauseous most of the time, particularly starting in the afternoon going right through the evening. I am either incredibly calm, incredibly angry or crying an incredible amount because I feel incredibly broody (disclaimer: I want children in the future but not now - until a week ago).
I have period like pains that come and go and I flit between being insatiably hungry and every smell making me want to vomit there and then. My fiance has been shouted at in the last two days for eating a kitkat in the car and for eating a banana in the room next door to me. I also cannot enter the kitchen without swiftly leaving or going out the back door because all I can smell are the couple of bananas that are currently in the fruit bowl. I have had no breast pain though they are tender.
I have taken a pregnancy test that came back negative and as I'm on the pill and have had a period I'm guessing its not that? What could it be?

Hi DressingGownFrown Hmmm.... I think if I were you, I'd give it a couple of days and take another pregnancy test. It is still possible to get pregnant on the pill, and some women do get bleeding early on that certainly seems like a period. I'm currently pregnant, and this time round I get a negative test even after I started getting morning sickness. (I just knew though, so took a test a few days later and got a very faint positive.)

Good luck, whatever happens!

Thanks shelduck
I'm so confused, when looking at dates it seems that I would be getting a positive by now / would have conceived just before getting my period which I thought was impossible. Confused

Smile To be honest I bent my brain trying to work out my dates! My cycle's a bit irregular anyway so I gave up trying to keep track of that sort of thing. Even now I'm not sure how i got pregnant because I'm pretty sure it would have been over a week after we stopped trying for that month. But nevertheless I'm definitely pregnant.

I know it's really frustrating for you, not knowing. It was 10 days between me first suspecting, and finally getting something I was prepared to call a positive. And we were actually trying to conceive, so it was kind of expected.

Hang in there. If you start to feel really rough, then of course go to the GP in case there is something else going on. But from what you say, it does kind of sound like preg...btw, DH is about to get a nasty look for leaving a glass of red wine next to me. Urgh.

And try not to be disappointed if you're not pregnant. Sounds like you've maybe learnt something about how you feel about having a baby? Take care x
