Hi
I just want to know if anyone else out there has been through a Cryptic Pregnancy cause i am going insane. Not saying that I'm pregnant cause i have a scoobie.
I have painful heavy ovulation and periods, have done since i was 15. My last period was 23rd Aug, i have unprotected Sex the week after that, then took the Ellaone morning after pill within a 48 hour window.
My next ovulation didn't happen, but then i experienced some cramping 2 weeks after. I just assumed the pill had messed up my system. My usual period time came and went without a period, so again i just thought it had been pushed out. However 4 and a half weeks after taking the pill i started experiencing severe cramps, constantly going to the loo and severe nausea. Smells were knocking me sick then 6 weeks after my last period i started to bleed, but it only lasted 1 and a half days.
I continued to feel sick to the core, cramps, bad stomach, bloated and was absolutely exhausted. Tests were negative.
4 weeks after that bleed, i then bled again but only lightly and again for 1 and a half days. Still feeling bloated, exhausted, extremely sick but all tests were negative. I've not had any of my usual severe (and i mean debilitating) ovulation or period pains, not had my usual heavy period pains, shooting pains down my leg, vibration pains - all of the symptoms i usual get with a period. Blood tests with the doc tells me my HCG is low and i have been tested for prolactin, thyroid, cancer, crones, blood count, anaemia, estrogen, cortisol, liver function, kidney function, pre menopausal amongst other things, and they are all fine/normal.
I'm going out of my mind as to what it is. I've put weight on without eating much due to the nausea, I'm what would be on my 13th week today if i was pregnant. I've got lots of discharge, cramps in my lower pelvic area (not where i usually get them), bloating, gas (lots of!!!), food aversions, sensitive to smell, boobs feel bruised and my stomach is growing. I fit all of the symptoms of being pregnant, but all the tests show i am not. All of the suggestions/alternatives by the doctor have all come back negative and I'm at a loss as to what is wrong. I have demanded an ultrasound, but as they don't think its urgent its over a month away.
Should i be taking vitamins, cutting out alcohol/ caffeine, basically acting as if i was pregnant. Or do i just carry on with life. I don't know what to do!
If any one else can relate i'd be glad to hear from you!
