Hi guys, so I’m 4 weeks and a few days late - I had some spotting around 2 weeks after period was due but it was one moment and then gone.
I’ve rang doctors as I’ve had multiple negative tests (except one which was positive) and they’ve just said to keep on waiting until either the auntie Flo arrives or I get a positive.

i have terrible bloat at moment, so much so I look pregnant and it’s sold to press, my boobs are bigger and nipples more veiny and larger. Have had nausea off and on, back ache that’s been awful recently and smells since the beginning. The dizziness seemed to have died down but now I cannot stand yougurt when others are eating it and detaste Mangos and sweets like Haribo.

I’ve bought more tests and I’ve bought a blood test kit to try, but am I just holding onto a string?
we’ve been trying for years and we had our first postive in November but then miscarriage in December. We still have unprotected sex when we want at moment it’s not stopped us but it’s just very strange.

any advice on getting us through the wait or if it’s turned out to be postive for you?

I am in the exact same boat -minus the actively trying part. I am 39, my cycles are normally 28 days. My last cycle was 32 days which was odd - I had my period for 2 or 3 days and super super light from may 12 to 15. This cycle I was later at 36 day -started barely even spotting on Monday, Tuesday some tiny bleeding a tiny amount of blood for maybe one tampon, and even tinier spotting today. During this most recent bleed, I had intense sharp pain in my lower pelvis for a few mins and then the spotting started, since the bleed I had mild cramping on one side, but the boobs felt relief and my nausea stopped. Today I am exhausted and very nauseas again. I took two tests on Monday of this week and they were negative, had a blood test turn up negative and again today I took a test and it was negative.

Last month after that light period, I took a couple tests and they were negative. I have been extremely bloated and puffy in my lower abs to the point I can no longer wear any of my pants, my breasts are heavier, sore and larger to the point my boyfriend keeps asking me if I am pregnant, I have been so nauseas on and off to the point i have been taking natural anti nausea medication, i have never been so exhausted in my life, i just started getting weird heart burn which I have never ever had.

A few months ago in April, I had full blood work done including hormones and there was nothing different or wrong.

Please keep me posted on what's going on. I have a doctor's apt today and tomorrow I was scheduled for an ultrasound to cross some ts as nobody understands what is going on.

I am not trying to get pregnant... we would be happy but it would definitely not be planned so we both really want to know sooner than later if this could still be a pregnancy that is merely not showing up in tests yet.
