33f, not quite 5 weeks pregnant and have this overwhelming fear of miscarriage, even though this is my first pregnancy. My first appointment is not for another month. I have an urge to constantly take pregnancy tests to make sure the baby is still there. Does everyone feel this way, or do I seriously have issues?

Please don’t say anything mean to stress me out. I really want this baby.

My fiance and I are trying to have a baby. We have used ovulation tests, he has gotten his little swimmers checked to see if they are ok (his count is a little low, and they are also a little lazy, meaning slow swimmers). I am prenatal vitamins as well to help. We have been trying to have a baby for 7-8 months and every month, I get my period. I am ovulating, but the last 2 months my period has been between 3-7 days late. I took pregnancy tests both times I was late, expecting them to be positive, but they are not. Also, the last 2 months my period has been very light in flow and color.

Nobody in either of our families has ever had fertility problems, or problems conceiving. Actually, it’s the other way around. My cousin, as well as my brother, had children without even trying or being married. My cousin has 2 and my brother has 3. My parents got pregnant the first time they tried. So did everyone else in my family and my fiance’s family.

Before I met my fiance, I was engaged to 2 other men. Both times, we tried to have children. So my fiance would be the 3rd man I have tried to have a baby with. My doctor said that I am normal, my cervix looks great for baby making, my ovaries and fallopian tubes look wonderful, so does my uterus. I do get abnormally sized cysts in my right ovary during my period, but I was told that it will not affect me from becoming pregnant because it is only there during my period. My fiance and I are both NEGATIVE for all STD’s that the doctor had tests for.

I have changed my diet to be more baby-making friendly. I quit smoking 8 months ago, and neither of us drink or do drugs of any kind, other than occasionally taking pain medications. We cut down on soda. I have 2 cats, one of which died recently, so we got a kitten to replace her. Before we started trying to get pregnant, I always cleaned the litter boxes. Now that we are trying, my fiance cleans the boxes so I’m not at risk for toxoplasmosis. If he is not home, and the litter boxes need cleaning, I put on surgical gloves and a bandana around my nose and mouth or a surgical mask and immediately take a shower afterwards.

I was hospitalized 1 year ago for a week because I have kidney problems. I get kidney stones (apparently every male on my fathers side has them, but instead of my brother getting them, I got them). Sometimes, my kidneys act up. I get a little sick, but its nothing that bed rest for a day, cranberry juice, and a lot of water wont fix. My urologist and OB-GYN agreed that my kidney issue shouldn’t affect me from getting pregnant, but I have to be very careful while I am pregnant.

Does anyone know what I can do to help me get pregnant, without doing any hormone therapy or in-vitro. I want to conceive naturally. Thank you!
i did use a fertility calender online, and i also used the Answer Ovulation test 20 strip every month. It says I ovulate around the same time every month. I should ovulate this weekend.

toxoplasmosis.. i have only had cats for 3 years, so i dont think thats enough time for me to build up an immunity. my parents HATE cats. i had one for about a year growing up and it attacked my grandma so they gave him away. i was 7 so i never went near the litter box. i didnt even know where my mom kept it. im OCD, so everything is always clean (cooking surfaces) and i always cook everything thoroughly.

i do however suffer from depression. i’ve had it since about 2004 when a loss in my family occured. the medications for it effect me in an undesirable way, so my doctor told me not to take it, and since im trying to have a baby i dont take it anyway. would depression cause me to not get pregnant? i forgot to ad that in.
also, i want to CONCEIVE NATURALLY. meaning, i want my fiance and i to have sex to make a baby. i dont want some doctor putting his sperm in me, or taking my egg and his sperm and mixing them in a dish. i want this to be natural, personal.

having a doctor help, to me at least, isnt the same as my fiance getting me pregnant. its still going to be his baby, but i dont feel that its the same.

so no, im not going to consider in-vitro, or the procedure where the doctor puts the sperm into me. if it wont happen naturally, it wont happen at all. we have however considered adoption. we want a baby, but we dont want a doctor to get me pregnant.

I have night sweats almost every night. I’m very young. Early 20s. So i can’t be menopausal. It’s been about 2 months since my last period. I took several pregnancy tests and they were all negative. Should I see a doctor about this? What could possibly be the problem?

Im just curious because i took 5 pregnancy tests ALL POSITIVE..(i have somewhat irregular periods but i get one every month but not yet this month) Im worried that it could just be an ovarian cyst since ive had one there in the past….is it possible to get 5 false positives because i really have a cyst and im not pregnant?

Well, AF came and crashed the party this month. so i took a First Response Fertility test that came in a box of pregnancy tests that i had. the test line came up about 3 shades darker than the control line in a matter of a minute, box says results in 30 minutes. So, i researched high FSH levels on the third day of the cycle and found bad egg, not ovulating, and perimenopause. so i called my dr and they told me not to worry about it. but i am worried about it. could it really be nothing?

I am two months late, and have had a history of being about a month late due to ovarian cysts. I have taken to pregnancy tests and they both said no. Does anyone think I am actually pregnant?

My girlfriend has been showing every sign of pregnancy for more than a month now, down to the weird food cravings, emotional outbursts, extreme fatigue, very sore breasts and darkened nipples, peeing all the time, nausea, vomiting, missed period, spotting, everything, and maybe even a little more. We’ve taken like six pregnancy tests now, probably one or two more even, and most of them have come up with a "?" in the display (digital first response gold), although two have been negative.
We brought it up to her doctor last week and she told us that it was probably just a hormonal imbalance and that it would go away. We insisted on a blood test, but she refused and only let her take another pee stick test there at the office. It came up negative, of course, but still has left us both shocked and very wary to believe the results as well. We both have looked extensively into both hormonal imbalances and pregnancy alike, even to the point of planning finances and and developing an extensive list of things needed to prepare for a new child in the family.
Although, first believing more than a 100% that she was pregnant, seeing the negative test result from the doctor and hearing her blatantly tell us we were wrong to believe her pregnant, has left us shaken and worried about her health and safety, as well as skeptical to accept any cause for the symptoms she is experiencing. Where it really gets weird, is that she does not fit the symptoms of hormonal imbalance as well as we thought that she would (after hearing in certain tones from the doctor that she was), as the fact that more than half of those symptoms can be either matched in a comparison with pregnancy or dismissed as absent from the things that she is currently experiencing.
Having also gone through the distressing and depressing test of miscarriage about a month, month and a half before the first onset of symptoms, it has been extremely difficult to make a decision on whether or not to follow through with preparing for a baby just yet in the face of all the unknowns. It almost feels as if we commit and find out that we were wrong, that the effect would be the same as a real miscarriage on an extremely emotional level.
We just need to know the answer. Any comments, similar stories, or advise would be greatly appreciated as I know that you cannot give us the answer, not even a doctor will give us the answers we need. For now, we will keep an open mind about the possibilities and continue testing as much as is possible.
Sorry dates are just a little off and a little more info needed, let me correct myself. Symptoms started 6 – 7 weeks ago (confirmed by her), Doctors appointment 1 1/2 – 2 weeks ago, Zoloft for anxiety and depression 4 months, Ortho-Evera birth control patch 2 1/2 months, Pelvic Inflamatory Disease (minor) treated with Flaygl 4 weeks ago, period absent for nearly 3 weeks, and I think that’s it.

I’m 46 years old and have always had regular periods every 26 days. A couple of weeks they came two days late, lasted for two days and stopped. I did two pregnancy tests and had a blood test but they all came up negative. I’m tired all the time, have morning nausea, enlarged breasts and I have cravings for fruit juice and vegetable juice. Does this sound like typical menopause symptoms?
forgot to add .. frequent urination.
My husband uses condoms. Definitely no mood swings, hot flashes or loss of appetite. Feel calm, happy, but tired.

I was ovulating a few weeks ago. But instead of starting early like I always do (when I don’t skip my period) I am late. It’s been 32 days now. I feel achey, my breasts hurt, I have a headache, and am very tired. I’ve already taken 2 pregnancy tests but they were both negative. No signs of blood or spotting. It seems like since I ovulated, that I should be starting. Should I be worried that I’m pregnant?

Me and my partner had unprotected sex, I worked out it would have been at my time of ovulation. However, I’m not quite ready for a child so I took the morning after pill. I’m worried it didn’t work because I feel pregnant. Usually my body is like clock work, and I was 6 days late for my period. Then when it came it was abnormally heavy with clotting for a day and then incredibly light, hardly anything.

Also my boobs feel alot fuller, my nipples are more pronounced and bigger. I feel quite bloated. It would have been about the 24th of april when we had sex, so i’m wondering if it’s a bit early for these symtoms. My sex drive has been through the roof as well, I’ve been having hot flushes.

I’m really worried. I took 2 pregnancy tests and the first one didn’t work and the second was negative apart from tiny little dots forming a bit of a cross. It was really minute and didn’t complete the whole line. like 3 dots or something.

Anyway, I’m wondering if I am pregnant of perhaps could have had a very early miscarage?

I do apologise for my spelling, I am dyslexic.

Thanks xxx
