A bit of background; I've been pregnant twice, the first time was 6 weeks until I miscarried, the second was 13 weeks, twins, but I lost them.
So I have some experience with pregnancy symptoms.
I'm not on any contraception because I've had a bad experience with it in the past, me and my boyfriend have used the 'pull out method' for 4 years (I know it's not really a method!)
My period has always been regular and consistent; the first day there's no pain, little blood, then the next day it gets very heavy and I can't physically do anything, then it slowly gets better for the next few days.
Since around July it's been irregular, the first month it was over 2 weeks late, the next months it's been over a week late and there's been no signs before hand of it arriving. There's been no cramps, or clots. The first day is light, and then the next day is pretty heavy, then the next day it's more like spotting.
(you can get monthly bleeding during pregnancy, I know quite a few people who had that during their pregnancies, so having a 'period' can be normal)
In July I had a lot of early pregnancy symptoms, like nausea, dizziness, lack of appetite, ect. So I took a test, but it came back negative so I just brushed it off. The symptoms carried on and changed throughout the months.
After the negative test I didn't think it could be a pregnancy until this month (I would be 20 weeks now if I am pregnant), my stomach has started to grow a little, at first I thought I was just bloated, but it hasn't gone down like it usually does.
I've also felt something like slow bubbles in my lower stomach which feels like how people describe quickening.
I've also been getting light cramps, which has never happened to me when I'm not on my period!
I've been getting other mild symptoms like lower back pain, constipation, I've been SO hungry, I'm exhausted all the time and then have trouble sleeping. I've had lots more but listing them probably won't help!
I've done about 10 tests now, but I've read that you can get a negative pregnancy test if the hcg in your body is too low to detect it on a test, or if its too high and causes a hook effect, so that's really no help right now!
I called my gp and told her all of this and her advice was to "wait it out"..
I've heard stories of people who didn't know they were pregnant and one day just gave birth, so waiting it out doesn't sound like the best advice!
In the 3 years I have been with her she hasn't ever given me an in person appointment and has always brushed me off, so going back to her isn't really an option.
I'm not sure what to do from here, I want an ultrasound just to see if I'm actually pregnant or if it's something else more dangerous, but I have no clue where I could get one.
Any advice as to what to do will be amazing!
