i have been trying for a baby for 8 months and my periods are ALWAYS on time, i am now 6 days late for my period and really do feel pregnant, i dont have sore boobs but i am feeling very sick and really tired all of a sudden! i have taken 6 home pregnancy tests so far and all have come back negative! i have been taking them since 4 days before my period was due and took the last one last night! i am thinking about going to a family planning clinic to see if their test will show i’m pregnant but am worried that if it’s a urine test it wont pick it up! does anyone know if their tests are any better than home tests? also is discharge a sign of pregnancy? i have been having some white discharge lately, it doesn’t smell but thought it might be connected to pregnancy? any help would be much appreciated! thanks




Sorry this is long. Last month, on cycle day 28, took a FRER positive with first morning urine-faint but there. Next night on a whim I got some cheap tests I bought off internet- On a whim I took one that evening-so I wasn’t shocked it came out negative. But, the next day I started what felt like a full on period. Called to cancel later appt with OB, office staff said come in for u/s which looked like nothing there and they checked hcg in blood which was zero.
Fast forward to this month-my cycle varies but typically about 25 days so I took dip test on cycle day 26 got faint positive. Saturday and Sunday clear positive. I was still nervous from last month so I told my husband to get a digital so of course he gets a plus minus one instead, that too positive, In the meantime, I was sick and went to regular doctor. She ran a urine test for me and said definitely positive, Took an hcg blood to send off.
Called today and said you are good to go, call your OB. I come in and they say your tests were just weird. Qualitative was positive, but quantitive was 2.1 -there was an "A" flag by qualitiative which key said was abnormal. My OB drew more blood and chastised me for testing "too early." I told her Monday at the dr’s was cycle day 29!! She told me it could be chemical or and cheap tests can mistake LH (ovulation hormone) for hcg-. She also said I might be chemical pregnancy prone due to short luteal phase.
She drew more blood and said if hcg went up, they’d test again Monday, if the lab was wrong and its much higher I am o.k., if its still low and no period she’s going to give me a drug to induce a period cause its not a viable pregnancy. She also discussed progesterone therapy or giving me a drug to induce ovulation because she said that a short cycle could be inovulatory. But, she said to use first morning urine with opk’s and count ay color change as positive for ovulation. I told her I bought one and it said to use midday urine after holding urine and she insisted that was wrong. On a whim I took to urine tests I already had at 6p.m., both came up positive very quickly with a very dark line. I know for a fact the month before my son was conceived my cycle was exactly 26 days!
I know only the tests can tell me what’s going on-I just have questions about whether or not her advice sounds kosher-its going to be probably 5 p.m. tommorow when 2nd hcg from different lab drawn today comes back.
The OB called today and sadi she thinks lab#1 was wrong, my hcg was 350. She is starting me on promethium to help support the pregnancy. Please keep me in your prayers!

Why do I crave Ramen Noodles with Spaghetti sauce on them?
we have no decent food in the house so I eat Ramen Noodles without the spices but I am not pregnant I am just on messed up evil birth control Loestrin 24 fe which wants to ruin my life like every other pill I have to take like seroquel, and Lamictal and I am really moody and I don’t get periods but I get discharge every day now. What the ****? I am NOT pregnant the urine test said no and I haven’t taken a blood test. Am I going through Perimenopause early or Premenopause or something?

Can their Urine test become accidently positive? As in other words, Can the borth control shot "Depo Provera" interfere with a womens birth control test?




My friend has not got her periods in last 8 months and she is 49 which indicates she has reached her menopause. She also has an Intra Uterine Device…Can she still get pregnant? She did strip tests twice with negative results…yet she feels pain in her pubic area and slightly heavy in breasts and frets she might be pregnant. Can a gynecheaologist answer this please? Does she need to go for a urine test to ensure or its just ok to test with strips?

gynecological exam in an ER?




Can they diagnose BV or any infection by just looking. What about an ultrasound. What about if you are on your period?
Will a urine test figure out if you have a UTI.
They said they found "nothing"
not pregnant. and pretty sure I don’t have a yeast infection
I left the same day thats why I ask if they could spot an infection by just looking.




I was severly late and I kept taking urine test and all were negative so I called my dr at two weeks late and the did blood work done two weeks ago and the results were positive but they said my hormone count was low so there might be a problem or it just might be early. It never occured to me that the test might have been wrong I was always told that it was impossible to get a false positive and this was on blood test, but sure enough I went back on wed for another test to dind out last thurs I wasn’t ever pregnant. I am 29 yrs old and even now I still haven’t started on day 50. The dr gave me provera and I have been taking it for 4 days, still no period just craps. I am having lots of feeling like hot flashes. I’m worried I could be premenopause. I have no kids and I had a miscarriage at 7 weeks almost 6 months ago now. I have a history of endometrosis but haven’t had any problems in a few yrs with that and I was on depo-provera for 8 yrs and I have been off it for nearly 3 yrs now.
The dr said it was not another miscarriage.

Does anyone have any information on Perimenopause?




Today I went to the emergency room for heavy bleeding for 10 days and still counting. Only for them to have me wait and then tell me something I already knew, and that is that my urine test came back negative for a pregnancy and that I am anemic, I received no internal exam although I told the nurse that there was discomfort when she pressed on my belly, she however prescribed me birth control pills and told me it should stop the bleeding.Anyway I have been doing some research on the internet about my symptoms and I came across the word PERI MENOPAUSE I have some of the symptoms such as the irregular period, mood swings, fatigue, headaches, but that’s about it and from what I read a woman normally starts in her 30′s to 40′s but I am still in my 20′s. If there is anyone that knows anything about perimenopause please help me, because I am really worried about whats going on with me.
I would go to a GYN but I lost my employment and no longer have any kind of insurance and can’t afford a GYN.
Thank You




A friend of mine was fired for testing + on a urine test for Nandrolone metabolites (Deca). He turned in his very legal prescriptions before his test, yet the company still fired him for going against their Drug & Abuse policy. How can this happen?
