desperate for some help

[joannaB]

Hi, im new and basically created an account because im so desperate for someoe to talk to about it

I'm a bit of an idiot and dont really keep track of my periods... i cant remember when the last one was but i know it was end july, beginning of august, anyway i'm not even sure if i've missed my period.

I have the following symptoms

I'm Very lethargic, not just tired but actually drained during the day - today i was unable to properly lift a plastic chair! All i want to do is sleep. i come home from work, i sleep, i go to work, im tired, i come home, i sleep. etc.

My boobs are REALLY sore - to the point where i cant even lie on them at night time or cross my arms. This has been going on for around 4+ days now and i think if i were going to come on i would have by now

A few days ago i took my bra off and there was a spot where my nipple was as if it had been wet and my nipples were crusty - theyre still crusty.

And today ive been getting an off kind of pulling/tugging sensation kinda behind my bellybutton and down a little... and thats odd


I've been off my food a little of late - I'll get something to eat and while eating i'll get this feeling- not sick, but more like my body is telling me just to stop eating it because i don't want to eat it.

I took a pregnancy test (today at 2pm) but it came out negative. Is there a possibility i could be pregnant even though it said negative?

thanks in advance

Was the test one with lines rather than a digital? Often the digital ones take longer to show up as the hormone level has to be higher. x

It is possible, but yes, as Annie said the tests have different sensitivities. You are best to test with your first urine of the day as it is the most concentrated x

 

[Sandy Bee]

Yes, that's definitely possible. Sounds to me like you are preggers.
Wait a few days with testing, or get a more sensitive test. There is a thread about different tests and their sensitivities to HCg somewhere in the forum.

Best of luck

Edit: Sorry, didn't see the other replies. Repetition never hurts

Its the digital ones, yeah. the true blue ones. i got a pack of tewo. my mother said maybe i should wait until the end of the week. I suppoise if my period doesnt come by then and my breasts are still this sore then its much mor elikely i am pregnant.

I mean i think 4 days is kinda excessive for my breasts to be THIS sore without a sign my period is coming.

it would be a lot easier if i could remember my damn period! im not trying to get pregnant but i would be very happy if i was... now i think if im not i would be kinda disappointed.

what about my other symptoms?

it feels weird to say but i kinda feel different to how i usually feel if that makes ANY sense.

 

[Princess81]

The sore breasts were a sure sign for me, as were the abdominal tugging sensations AND lethargy lol! If it's not a pregnancy it could be a hormonal thing? Good luck with testing again. I find tesco own brand (not digital) ones show up pregnancies quite early x

 

[Piglet10]

try a tesco own brand chick xx

 

[joannaB]

Thanks very much!

im kinda scared to take the3 tests tbh. Negative made me feel disappointed, but somehow i didnt believe it and i dont think its because im not for some reason. But i think positive would make me go "Omg what if im a terrible mother and like drop it on its head or snap an arm off or something?!" lol

yeah, im strange.

 

[Princess81]

I still have thoughts like that at 23 weeks pregnant so don't worry lol

 

[joannaB]

if i AM pregnant ill be the 3rd member of my fam ily due in 2012 lol!

 

[Mummytoo2boys]

Me n my sister are due 3 weeks apart in 2012 lol xx

Hi, I'm interested in the crusty nips thing!! Not mentioned often, but for me the first confirmation I need (before taking a test) is leaking boobs. Yup, even a couple of days after period is due, a little tweaky tug and if there's liquid, even the smallest drop, that's all I need to know. A test just confirms it.
I really hope you get the confirmation that you're looking for from a test XX

 

[joannaB]

I can't tst until around 7th but might air until 9th cos that's when I know for sure I wOuld be late

Not noticed more leak but boobs deff crusty still and feel bigger but could be my imagination

 

[JJ Mum]

Good luck when you test

 

[joannaB]

Okay so I'm not going to test until the 10th/11th because I know by then j will deff be "late" I'm not counting my bleed last week as a period cos it wasn't really a period IMO.

My really sore boobs race gone off a but but by boobs are huge and my nips have rings around them, little bumps came up too and they're kinda crusty still. I also gave a crazy want for bananas and cabbage (not together) and feel like crap in the morning. Still really tired!!

Are these good signs?

I wasn't due on until the 6th I thought but Im not totally sure but I'll wait until later to know I'm testing at right time because I know I was deff on on the 9th august if that makes sense

Mum was telling me yesterday that she had 3 months without a positive test when she was expecting me.
