Frustrated and confused, any ideas? Chemical Pregnancy?

Posted by on Nov. 8, 2009 at 7:32 PM

So my husband and I have been TTC for 5 months now. I have PCOS which can make, makin babies really difficult. For the last 5 months my periods have been on time almost to the hour every 28 days. I'm now 9 days late. I took a HPT on the first day I was late and again when I was 7 days late and they both said negative. I'm having other symptoms though (nausea, severe mood swings, tiredness, breast/nipple tenderness).

Could I still be prego and it just not showing up yet? I've also heard of chemical pregnancies, could it be that? Could my body be thinking it's prego when it's really not?

I want so bad to be pregnant and when I was late I was so happy, but now I'm just confused and frustrated and feel like a failure. Any ideas ladies?

**on a side note: I would go take a blood test but that requires me to miss work and they get pretty pissy about it when you have to miss. Also, it takes forever to get into my actual doctor (2 weeks+) because I have to go to the clinic on the AF base.

Can you move your lunch hour in order to get a blood test?

It is possible you are pregnant, but the only way to know for sure is to get a blood test.  There has got to be a lab that is open before or after you get out of work to go to.  You would just need to get a script for the bloodwork from the doc and go.  I'll be hoping you are pregnant!!

Quoting neyon226:

I only get a 30 min lunch and I have to go to the military base to have it done and be covered by insurance and it's a 20 min drive there and back. :(

I would go get the blood test..or wait til I'm 2 weeks late to test again..I have always heard you shouldn't test til your 2 weeks late but we all know no one waits that long!

it could possibly be too early for a test to tell.

with my second DD I wanted to be preggo so  bad, and i just knew i was missed my period and was later  for over a week. took 3 test and t hey all came  up negative.  i was so upset...a week later took one last test and bam there i was happily preggo.

try not to stress to much either way if  you are or aren't the stress  isn't good.

take a deep breath and lots of baby dust for you!
