Suspected cryptic pregnancy?

Hi, I need some advice I feel like I'm going insane. I've took pregnancy tests and all say negative I've now missed two periods but I'm now having some pregnancy symptoms but they could be down to other things so it's unclear. Had a condom break about 6/7 month ago but I've still had regular periods since up until the last two months. I have rapidly been gaining weight but haven't had an appetite, I thought I would measure my self yesterday and I've redone at the same time and I'm 2 inches bigger! I have appointment with doc booked in but it's a 2 week wait. Both my mum and my aunty had cryptic pregnancies only finding out about the same time as my Self now, only reason they found out was due to suspected stomach ulcers. I'm really worried as the medication I'm on is really bad for pregnancy but I can't just stop taking it I need gradually lower the dose. Has any one else had similar experiences?? Thanks for reading

What medication are you on? Will affect how quickly something needs to be done.

I'm on sertraline but it's a high dose, from reading the information leaflet that comes with my medication it says it can cause the baby have breathing problems, low blood sugar , vomiting and much more.

TBH sertraline is the best SSRI for pregnancy/breastfeeding and often stopping does more harm than good. I'd not worry too much about that.
Would be very different if you were on methotrexate or something very teratogenic.

Cutting down slowly would be sensible but only with guidance from your GP.

How do I know if I’m pregnant or not one test said not pregnant but the other one has a dark line and then a couple of minutes a fainted one appears

@Lovegomez265 you'd best wait a day and take another test. Try a pink dye test like a First Response Early Results.
