Possible pregnancy signs?

United States
May 17, 2010 6:07am CST
I know I posted about why I'm not pregnant and such but for about 3 days now (this might sound nasty), I've had upset stomach. I wake up a few times in the morning to go to the bathroom and no I am not referring to urinating. For those 3 days, at least 5-6 times a day I have to hit the bathroom and this happens in the morning. I was getting annoyed so I googled about it and some says that though vomiting is a common early pregnancy symptom, so can bowels or diarrhea. It explained why but I forgot what it says. I didn't get my period last month and I already took 2 pregnancy test and it came out negative. I know it takes about 8 weeks for a HPT to detect anything so I was thinking waiting it out til end of this month to take another HPT and if still negative then I will check with a doctor. But I would like to know now if this could be a symptom. -I didn't eat anything bad. -I feel tired in the day. -No vomiting. -Not so much of frequent urination. Please help.

Everyone is different as far as pregnancy symptoms go... for me with my first i did not start getting sickness till i was almost 3 months gone, and it lasted a month.. but with my second i never got any sickness, no craving nothing... to be honest it dosn't sound like you are pregnant normally pregnancy tests are pretty good and show up quite quick, even with cheap HPT, which i bought and i found out when i was only 4 weeks pregnant... you could go to the dr, and have a blood test that would tell you straight away if you were pregnant although you would have to wait for the results... i know how frustrated you must feel, as I went through the same thing... sometimes being a woman is not all that good, especially when it comes to deciding whether you think you are pregnant, because you dont know really what to expect.... the only main thing for me that made me aware of pregnancy was my nipples had little white spots on them and if you squeeze them you can get a liquid come out, and that happened with both of my pregnancy's. I hope this helps... if your trying to get pregnant or really want to get pregnant, then I there is a vitimin that may help you... and after a month of taking it, i fell pregnant, not saying that this is the answer but i know it helped me :)

Every woman is different. My mom got her period for 3 months while pregnant with me but my sister missed her period right away when she got pregnant. Some women get more nauseated than others. Some women don't vomit at all (luckies). You could have missed a period from stress or from whatever is giving you the diarrhea. Or you could be pregnant. I don't trust the home pregnancy tests. I took 3 that said I wasn't pregnant and then I miscarried a week later and the dr told me I had been about 6 weeks along. Best bet is go to a dr and get a test. Also be sure to drink plenty of fluids. Diarrhea dehydrates the body which might be what's making you feel so tired!

That is a horrible doctor. But not all of doctors are that way. They can do a pregnancy blood test. They are a lot more accurate. It beats not knowing. Not knowing and sitting there wondering is the worst.

thats what i said but I cant switch because I have to stick with that stinking doctor since she's the only one i can go to even without my insurance and etc etc. but i swear it was a stupid answer lol. yeah i know what you mean i want to know right away if im pregnant or not because I know im not taking care of my body the fact that i smoke and I eat sushi often -____- and I work out hard sometimes because I need to. How much does it cost to do that blood test? and how long must i wait for result? i cant afford to go to that doctor anymore but would free clinics do it?

I hated going to the doctors for check up after I went to visit one because I was 4 months late on my pms. She tells me this, the exact line: "Well.... errr it says negative but I honestly don't know if you are" what kind of a doctor says that? And she was a top known doctor here so I didnt want to rely on doctors and all the HPT, they ALL say 99.9 % accurate. -_______- and it'd be weird tat im dehydrated because I have to drink 8-9 classes of water a day.

i suggest ultrasound is the most reliable way of checking if you are pregnant or not...pregnancy pills get wrong...their are other hormones that could affect that to get negative or positive. this are just probable sign but to get a deifinite sign is ultrasound

yes dennisjade, I cant get an ultra sound because 1.im pretty sure i have to pay for a check up and 2. ive only been 5 weeks late on my pms. but jamd28, my sister in law is 4 months and her ultrasound shows a "peanut" lol so i guess you can but 3-4 months. But if thats the only way to find pregnancy status, then thats hecka expensive lol.

When you are pregnant one does not feel the same symptoms as many others. Some vomit a lot and feel lazy all day long, and does not feel hungry at all, they feel dizzy also and urinate every now and then. Whereas some simply does not feel all these and yet they are pregnant so the best thing in your case is to take a pregnancy test and do it once for all to remove the suspense.

I already have take a HPT and it both came out negative. I dont crave anything, I do have upper abdominal pain, sometimes cramps on the side like when you have your pms, other than that I dont vomit, i dont hate certain foods nor crave them. Its so weird, pregnancy and pms are the most annoying thing to define for females -___-

yeah. i agree. pregnancy and pms talaga. maybe ulcer?

The fact that you take two pregnancy test and came out negative, you are not pregnant. There are a lot of reasons to have a bad stomach. Consult the doctor please.

Thats what my sister's 4 pregnancy test said, it was all negative only to find out she was pregnant when she went in because her back was hurting. All I know about stomach aches are bad food, dehydration, or when the fan is blowing directly to your tummy since it stimulates it. But i don't get dehydrated since i work out daily now and needs 8-9 glasses, i cant be eating bad food because my bf eats the same foods I cook and he actually gained some good amount of weight with it and no bad tummy, and no i dont use fans lol. HPT are the only options im doing at the moment and Ill wait it out till I make 8 weeks of not getting a pms and take another one. If negative but no mother nature present I will consult some BETTER doctor haha.

Yes, I believe pregnancy can affect bowel movements. When I have my period, I tend to go to the bathroom more often too. I think it is a good idea to wait another couple of weeks and if you still haven't had your period, go to the GP for a test.

Get a pregnancy test kit or go to a doctor. This is the best recommendation I can give you so that if in case you are not pregnant, the doctor may have you checked for other possible illnesses. Also, the mind is a funny thing. You might be "psychologically" pregnant. Meaning you are worrying or really want to get pregnant badly so your mind and body mimics the common signs that you know. So, see a doctor and get yourself checked. P.S. I am also vomiting, but this isn't because I am pregnant but I am emotionally upset.

Every pregnancy is different. Although your home pregnancy tests say you are not pregnant, you still can be. Some people's hormone levels take time to reach where the pregnancy test can read them. If you had s e x last month and you don't have a period, chances are good you are pregnant. If you don't think you are you better go to the doctor to see what IS wrong with you.

Well, every woman and every pregnancy is different. I didn't get any "typical" symptoms of pregnancy when I was pregnant with my daughter. The only thing that told me I was pregnant is the home pregnancy test. HPT is accurate when you already missed your period, so your test should be accurate by now. If you are still in doubt, you might want to go to doctor's office to find out about it (they can do a blood test which more accurate). I was in your situation, I was 2 weeks late and thought I was pregnant but I was wrong. Your body condition can delay your period. Did you work too hard lately or have so many things in mind? If yes, then it could be the culprit.

Most of the home pregnancy test are inaccurate if they are not taken right when you wake up....One way to be 100% sure is to take a blood test then you will definitely know.....A lot of people are different with the symptoms there is no weight gain, fatigue, nausea, etc....It depends on the person...and your physical activity plays a key role in it as well if you are very active in things such as sports for example i have heard that a lot of the symptoms can be missed or excused. I have friends who were pregnant, had no symptoms and stomach was flat as a board....All and all next time around make sure to take the test during your first morning urination. And it should give you great results....If you are stressed that may also mimic signs of pregnancy, make your period *late* it happens all the time.....So it maybe stress, change in cycle or a future blessing any way it goes "good lick"
