NWR: Pregnant?? **UPDATE**

Ok.... well if there isn't enough stress and craziness with 11 days till my wedding...

Here are my symptoms:

1. I have been carsick like nauseous for about 2 weeks.... I thought I had the start to the stomach flu but I never got sick.

2. I literally can't be in the same room with meat. Any kind. The smell, look anything can make me throw up. Weird.

3. I am exhausted. All I do is sleep which is not like me at all.

4. I am 4 days late on my period. (I think that is the kicker)

Weird thing is, I took 2 pregnancy tests, one yesterday and one the day before and both were negative.

What do you think??

***************************************************
Hi Everyone!

I went to the doctor yesterday and explained to him that I thought I might be pregnant and he says “ok, let's test for that” AND BRINGS OUT A NEEDLE!! No one told me they had to draw blood to test for pregnancy!!

After my slight meltdown about having my blood drawn, they did a quick once over on my blood pressure, temp, etc... They also did some other tests on my blood to make sure I don't have any other weird diseases. Right before I left with a clean bill of health, they came in and told me:

I am not pregnant

It is a big relief and let's me focus more on the wedding right now! My doctor said that the symptoms I am having (especially missed period) are all a result of anxiety, stress and high emotional state (hormones). They won’t know about any of the other tests they did on my blood till later this week, but he said just from experience, he thinks this will all go away after the wedding.

I hope this helps anyone else going through this!!

Thank you for all your help and kind words (although someone really should have told me about that needle!! )

Much love,
Elisabeth

PS: Sorry for not signing on last night, by the time I got home I went straight to bed and then I was in meetings at work this morning -- SO SORRY TO MAKE YOU WAIT!!

I don't mean to be Ms. Downer, but try going to the doctor to be tested for Lyme's Disease. My mom had similar symptoms for 4 years before she was properly diagnosed.

It could be stress of the wedding making you late.

Try and go the the doctor and find out for real. IDK how accurate pego tests are.

You wedding is in like two weeks --- i might chalk it up to stress which is why you might be late

If it doesnt come in the next few days make a doctor appt, but it sounds like stress to me...

good luck

Maybe its just because of all the stress with the wedding being so close. If you are 4 days late then usually the tests would be coming back as positives by now.

Feeling better already! I was having a little meltdown, but I just called the doctor's office and left a message so hopefully I can get in tomorrow

I'll give you an update as soon as I know something!

could it be stress??? sometimes that can affect you in ways you would not expect

Re: NWR: Pregnant??

what kind of pregnancy test did u take? if u haven't try the clearblue easy.. digital read they are very reliable. if u'r 4 days past u'r period with nauseousness and sleepiness i'd say it sounds possible..


i swear by the clearblue easy.. just don't take the tests from the dollar store.. and know that a false negative is way more likely than a false positive..

sounds like stress or something underlying that is coming out b/c of stress. I know at stressful times I am alwasy late. When my father died I miss a whole month b/c of nerves.

Try to relax. It probably is stress. For 3 months straight my period was 2 1/2 weeks late. Your body is telling you something, you probably need my sleep and relaxation. I am FINALLY back on truck. Those tests are pretty accurate though, so I wouldn't worry about it. Good luck

MrsD.... I took the pharmacy brand pregnancy test. I will go buy the clear blue easy digital and test again in the morning.

Re: NWR: Pregnant??

sounds very possible! Are you ok with that?

Re: NWR: Pregnant??

I have missed my period before because of stres... it's the weird stomach flu feeling that is making me nervous!

FH also said it could be stress -- I've never had a wedding before so even though I feel calm maybe my body is 'internally stressed' or something (??) I am self diagnosing now

i could have written your post

you can even ask Laura bc I FMed her bc I was sure that I was pregnant - I took two pregnancy tests and ended up getting my period a little late after all of that

today i took a bite into a ham sandwhich ( which is my favorite ) and i literally gagged and had to spit it out at lunch

i freaked and thought i was getting that virus but it really just has to be stress bc if i am relaxed and dont think about it i am fine - like last night i had chinese food!!

take some airborne and go to sleep early - i bet its just stress. . . our weddings are so close!

speaking of sleep - i came home today and NO JOKE sat on my bed for a second and passed out for over an hour, i would have slept all night if my mom didnt wake me up to see what was wrong - i still had my shoes on

i have NEVER felt so exhausted in my whole life. . . i dont really have that much left to do but the thought of ANYTHING makes me almost want to cry!

I think so Danielle... we knew we were going to start trying soon after the wedding, but I didn't think it would be right in the middle of the wedding!!

Either way, it's God's plan and we are fine with whatever happens. Babies are blessings

I dont think you should really worry its probably all the stress...just get rest cause your gonna end up collapsing on your day just take it EASY and to ease that stressful topic see a doctor congratulations on your upcoming wedding...

Tilde!! Thank god, I'm not alone!!

Yesterday I went to a baby shower and came home and fell asleep at 4pm and slept until this morning! That is like 15 hours of sleep!!

I am going to the doctor in the morning because I need someone sane to look me in the eyes and tell me I'm not preggo and that I am fine and not going to get the stomach bug the night before the wedding (biggest fear, BTW)

Re: NWR: Pregnant??

totally could be stress related and yes, matilde did FM me

but, i would take another test now that your period is late if the others you took were before your due date

and if you are, send some of that baby dust my way!!!
LOL
