    I was very disappointed the first time with my doc, I was expecting all kinds of tests and advice...he just patted me on the head and told me to forget about it until I was 12 weeks....forget about it! I thought of nothing else! :eek: Dying to know how you get on with your scan now :D

    Haha I felt the same way at my doctors appointment...I almost wanted to say to him- Dont you want to do something to make SURE?!? I have realized already that this pregnancy business is nothing but a bunch of waiting around!

    It is probably going to be too early to tell. There have been a number of posts on here recently from women very upset because nothing was visable on very early scans.

    The best thing you can do right now is eat properly, take your folic acid, get lots of sleep (do the things you should be doing if pregnant) and relax.

    Best of luck

    it's so small now they couldn't pick up a heartbeat yet on the monitors. How many weeks will you be on the 11th June? They might do a vaginal scan if it's very early days.

    That's the art of all things pregnancy related, a lot of it is waiting and being unsure, first it's getting the positive test, then it's the 12 week appointment, then it's the 20 week scan....not to mention waiting for the actual d-day itself!

    Really hope it works out the way you want xx

    No matter what when your pregnant you worry. You worry if you have symptoms, then you worry if you have none! You spend the whole time waiting for 12 weeks, then 20, then 24 then counting down to when baby gets here...

    Try relax and enjoy it... I know how hard it is but you've had a huge amount of positive pregnancy tests... You will worry, that's normal :)

    Early pregnancy is a rollercoaster though... your trying to get used to the fact that your pregnant. Your hormones are going mad, you are exhausted and then if you have sickness on top of that? When you think about it like that no wonder your tired and emotional... and worrying. Just try and remember how exciting it will all be and the 11 th June WILL be here before you know it and all that doubt will go: not the worry though! That worry is normal :)

    Haha you definitely sound pregnant to me! I believe I said the exact same thing when I was about 9 weeks along and tired and upset and emotional! I hope you feel better! It does get better I promise- I just started feeling more normal again this week and its great! I thought I might not ever be normal again! Roll on the 11th of june! :)

    Stay calm nikki...you're going to drive yourself nuts. I know that's easier said then done. Early pregnancy sucks! It's the not knowing that's the killer. It's been another week, would you try another pregnancy test? Or is your head done in with them now?

    I'd say every woman in this forum can empathise with how you're feeling, you'd just love x ray vision to see if anything's in there! *hugs*

    You still having got your period right??

    I mean everything is pointing to you being pregnant!!

    I was terrified of my first scan. I thought that they wouldn't find a baby and i was just all in my head! I think that is a normal worry. You don't have that long to wait now!!

    Are you taking the folic acid?

    Keeps us updated when you get the scan :)

    I was over 20 weeks before you could definitely say I was pregnant.

    Just relax and wait for your scan honestly...
    you will crack yourself up otherwise.

    You wouldn't have a bump this early, possibly bloat but not a bump when the pregnancy has just been confirmed, the baby is still tiny at that stage and doesn't impact your shape with it's own shape yet.

    I am 16wks and I have a little bump. I was swollen at the start of my pregnancy from about 9wks maybe but didn't get a real bump until about 13wks. Everyone is different.

    I'd be surprised if you have a bump yet. If there is a baby it'll be the size of a pip at this stage. Of course every woman is different and anything is possible, but I would say its too early for a bump.

    From what I remember most early pregnancy symptoms can be put dow to something else and its the not knowing and uncertainty that makes the early days seem like forever.

    The only thing that can definitely confirm a pregnancy is finding a heartbeat on the scan. And sometimes it isn't even visible in the early days!

    One thing is for sure, the days will pass and whether they fly or drag the 11june will eventually be here. Then you'll know one way or the other.

    Personally I would say you wasnt pregant, its not uncommon to get false positives but I think its uncommon to get false negatives. I would go to the early pregnancy unit or would go back my GP and let them know I was still having negatives and maybe they can give you a blood test which will confirm one way or another. Good luck

    Actually, this is the other way round. Not uncommon to get false negatives, never a false positive - the pregnancy hormone HAS to be detected to get a positive, while low levels or an incorrectly taken test can give a negative.

    OP, there could be any one of a number of things going on. You should go back to your doctor (if you're not convinced that they will be helpful then maybe consider going to a well woman clinic or getting a recommendation from a friend) and explain the situation fully. You may be pregnant, you may be experiencing an Ectopic Pregnancy or a missed miscarriage... it could be a lot of things. Go to a doctor.

    There can be a sort of false positive in the case of a chemical pregnancy. Ie, you conceived but the blastocyst never implanted. You would get a positive test as you would have a small amount of HCG present. But you'd know about it fairly quickly as you'd miscarry within a few days/week.

    There are also very, very, very rare cases of getting a false positive if you have a tumour on your ovaries.

    Negative again?! Grrr your head must be done in at this stage. Was it feint again or an absolute negative? Going by your own dates, how many weeks should you be by now if you were pregnant?

    Pregnancy is calculated from the first day of your last period, so if you are pregnant, and you have an average 28-30 day cycle, you would be about 10 weeks...

    Would you consider going to the docs for hCG blood test? If you got one done in the morning and another in 48 hours, you'd know for definite.
