Hi there im new here after a bit of advice.
Booked appointment for gp next week but wanted to see if anyone on here has experienced this and was actually pregnant or was something else.
Right so have been feeling really tiered lately and just not myself just low mood toered hormonal ect anyway the last month ive been noticing my stomach seemed to be getting bigger and now it massive everyone asking when baby is due no joke lol
Anyway took a test came back negative then 20 mins later was showing positive but very very faint this happened on 3 tests so took a clear blue 3 days later and negative then came on period 5 days later than normal but stomache still looks like im 6 months lol took another test this week and negative im so confused and like i said everyone asking when its due so embarrassing lol.
I look pregnant feel pregnant have backache most days like im carrying extra weight.
Has anyone else experienced anything like this and been pregnant or turned out to be something else.
Any advice would be great. Thanks for reading x

I think if you’ve had your period recently and multiple failed pregnancy tests its unlikely to be a pregnancy unfortunately. Were you trying to get pregnant? if so, it’s possible you had a chemical pregnancy sadly hence the faint positive then the negatives.

The extreme bloat sounds hormonal or gastrointestinal. If it’s a new thing for you rather than something that happens regularly, I’d say it’s worth having a chat with your GP who will run through some questions with you.

Thanks for the advice no wasnt trying to get pregnant, and yes this is all new so defo going to talk to the gp next week.
Juat wanted to see if anyone else has experienced something similar and what the outcome was. X

I would definitely chat to a GP. Checking a pregnancy test after 20 minutes doesn’t mean much, the liquid evaporates and leaves a faint line in the place where the test strip was. It doesn’t mean it was/is positive.

I would ask the GP to run tests. Don't get fobbed off with being told you are bloated and you probably have IBS. Get blood tests just to check as swelling could be signs of lots of things. X
