I feel like such a fool

[Annie050408]

I have just got back from the doctors - I had booked an appointment to go and have a blood test because AF is now 5 days late (I can't ever remember being late in the past) and I haven't got a

She almost laughed me out of the place; refused to give me a blood test and told me that I wasn't pregnant and to just accept it.

I wouldn't mind if I had been behaving oddly about the whole thing but I simply told her that we'd had unprotected sex a couple of times round the time of ovulation and that although we had not been trying for a baby, the fact that there was no AF had led me to think I might be pregnant.

She made me feel like I had absolutely no right to be there wasting her time. I'm sorry, but I am just a bit fed up, I'm never late and I don't understand what is happening to my body.

I could cry

How irresponsible of her

When was the last time you tested hun? I would re-test and if you are I'd smack her in the gob with the test!

She should at the very least went through some possibilities with you

 

[Annie050408]

To be honest I tested this morning at about 8am. It wasn't the first of the day (if you know what I mean) so I don't know if that would affect the HCG levels or whatever they are called.

I have had aching boobs and queasiness on and off for the past few days and I've noticed some raised little lumps coming up around my nipples too.

I am wondering if it is all just in my head now though and of of course, that doesn't explain the lack of AF. My last AF started on 3rd November and the one before that was on the 5th October - so about 29 days right?

I just don't know what is going on

 

[Mervs Mum]

That's not good. She shouldnt have made you feel that way. All you can do is keep testing and if you miss a whole month without a I'd say go back, to a different Dr and start a fresh.

 

[Annie050408]

Do you think there is still a chance I could get a ? She seemed to think that was a ridiculous idea.

 

[Mervs Mum]

Of course there's a chance hun. If you're not you might be delaying AF by getting worked up about it so my suggestion is make a plan, stick to it and try to put it to one side for the moment.

 

[Annie050408]

Thanks, I think you're right. DH and I will do one last test tomorrow with first sample of the day as we've not done one at that time yet. If still then I'm just going to forget about it and try to find something different to focus on.

 

[Mervs Mum]

Has it made you decide that you want to TTC? After tomorrow's test you could start a bit of a journal/blog here on how you are feeling and get it out there maybe? Then once you know either way you can start to get to know your body a bit more.

im so sorry the doctor made you feel like that. i know the feeling when they make you feel like your stupid and going mad.
last month i went to the doctors my af didnt come but i have brown spotting she did a test bfn but wouldnt really do anymore said my partner could have given me an infection that made me feel better not!!
like the girls have said do another test and see what that says and if you can and i know its hard try and but it to the back of your mind. are you planning to ttc if your not already??
lots of

 

[Rowesb]

its harsh she made u feel like that though, I agree with the ther ladies in the next plan of action

 

[Annie050408]

I have wanted to TTC for about 6 months now. DH wanted to wait until April/May next year but has now said that he is happy to try straight away if AF arrives. He has really come round to the idea now.

 

[Annie050408]

I think the reason I'm most upset is that now my cycle is all messed up so I don't have any idea when I'd ovulate and so don't know when to focus on trying.

 

[Mervs Mum]

That's your focus then hun. Learning about your body.

 

[louise280981]

really pleased your OH has come round to the idea of ttc earlier.
i totally agree you could start charting and you never know you still could be as the af hasnt got you yet xxx

 

[Rosie's Mummy]

I dont have any confidence in most doctors I have seen!! Most of them have been wankers! Haha! What a horrible doctor you saw; obviously has no idea about how people feel! I wish you luck and that you get tuned in with your body - love and peace!

 

[Blob]

Awww thats so cruel

 

[Cleo100]

I can't believe the GP made you feel like that. *Big Hug*

I would def ignore her and keep testing if no AF. Did you try a "First response" test? I got my BFP on day 7 (7 days late) with first response and it was very faint. I then became a POASA (Pee on a stick addict!) and did about another 8 tests over the next 3 weeks!!

GP never actually did a test on me, they refused to and were as blase as they were with you, to be honest.

Don't let them make you feel deflated hun, you are only doing what you think is right, hang in there and do another few tests over the next 3-4 days.

I hope you get the result you hope for, *HUGS*

Hi all,

The witch arrived today- I guess it's true what they say, a negative test generally means that you're not pregnant.

DH has been wonderful and we are going to focus on moving house and sorting out our finances now. We're going to officially start in January - and get lots of BD practice in the meantime

 

[Tonks]

Big hugs hun Lots of luck and pregnancy dust for January
