If I’m not pregnant I have lost my mind!

I can almost SWEAR that I am pregnant.

There is a baby in there, and it's moving and I know exact dates, which would mean if I were pregnant I would be due in September and I would be about 18 weeks pregnant.

I have had three negative urine tests, one negative blood test and four periods since January.

All of that adds up to me not being pregnant.

But my gut instinct says that I am.

Can I get an ultrasound without a referral from a doctor or midwife (I'll pay) because since being to the doctors twice now, they have looked at me like I'm a crazy person.

I'm just scared of getting an ultrasound done and there being nothing there and then really knowing that I've lost my mind.

If there is no baby, why has my uterus grown so much and what is that thing moving around inside it? And it is definitely NOT gas. Cause I have that too. D:

I hope u can, u poor thing. must be so annoying when u know what ur feeling.
Maybe you could meet up wif a m/w & go from there?
They wud be able to tell if you are by ur expanding uterus.

Then u can cum join us in the sept thread!!

Keep us posted hun, Good luck

Can you give your old MW a call that you had while pregnant with Sam?
Maybe she can see you and have a feel of your tummy, Im pretty sure they would be able to tell if your pregnant or not....

Good Luck hun, this must super annoying for you, I really dont have any other advice..**hugs**

a mw would be able to hear the heartbeat?

oh how confussing for you Renee!! but YAY! if you are!! how exciting!!!

Not to get your hopes up or anything but i have a friend of a friend who all of a sudden thought she might be preggas at 20 weeks and took lots of tests but all were negative!!?? then the doc refered her for a scan which was about 4 weeks later and low and behold she was 34 weeks!!!!!! and now and has awsome BIG!! baby girl!

I was wondering how you were getting on. I posted in your other thread, but maybe you couldn't find it lol.

What happened when you went to the doctor?

I'd say just pop into a local midwife centre and talk to a midwife about your concerns, and I'm sure she could check for a heartbeat as that doesn't take very long. And she'd be able to make a scan referral.

I've also been told that urine test commonly show negative after about 12 weeks? That was a few years ago.

My understanding is that when ur preggers in the early days your hcg levels climb up really high and then after the first trimester they drop off a bit but so long as you are actually pregnant you will have hcg in your system.

From going through an ectopic they can measure hcg levels from 1.4 which is extremely low.

So I'd imagine that if you were as preggers that a blood test would be fairly conclusive.

But I agree with the others, go back to the doc until you are satisfied

Yep, they can get up to 200,000 or so by about 10 weeks then start to drop off, plateauing between 20,000-100,000 for the rest of pregnancy so a test should in theory show positive no matter how far along you are.

But that's not to say that strange things don't happen. You could always ask your doctor for a referral on the basis of the possible fibroid, coz if you do have one and it is causing problems you need to know about it, then see what they see when they do the scan, you never know!

if you can feel something have you asked your doctor to have a feel aswell?

Yeah I would def go to the Dr and make them find out whats going on. If you are not pregnant you need to know what is happening. Good luck luv!!
