i am very confused. i have had what i guess is spotting, a very light period, which has never occured before, for 3 months now. every time i began to bleed it was at an earlier time than before. i have all the symptoms of being pregnant and my stomach is even getting bigger. but when i take a test it says that i am not pregnant? could i be pregnant?

It is unlikely that the test is wrong if you are three months pregnant, but a blood test from the doctor is 100% reliable so maybe you could get that done

Hi,

If these are some of your symptoms: pelvic pain, cramps, early or late periods that become shorter and shorter, joint pain/arthritis (even when you are young), fibromas, bloated stomach as if you were pregnant, tender breasts, fatigue, vaginitis and/or cystitis, infertility and/or miscarriages (of course, in case you are actually trying to get pregnant), lack of concentration… and last, but not least, hair loss…

Congratulations, you have a STD infection!

The funny part is that I am not using the word “congratulations” as whether this is a joke, but because I am saving you of future health problems (as diabetes, heart problems, chronic artritis, non-reseversal infertility, etc.) and chronic pain, and because, once detected, most of them are just easily treated through antibiotics.

If, apart from above symptoms, you are experiencing mood changes and long PMS, you probably have chlamydia. Other STDs that you will have to check with your gyn, are: trichomonas, mycoplasms (there are about 17 of these, but you should at least get tested for ureaplasma), and aerobic and anaerobic bacteria (there are a lot of these, so you better get a good gyn).

This is your checklist:

1. Go to your gyn and get tested from all above, only from your cervix.
2. Ask your doctor not to send the samples to a big lab such as Quest Diagnostics, as results come negative even when they are positive. Trust me, it happened to me several times.
3. Ask your doctor to run antibiogram test on the sample, so that you can be sure the organisms are sensitive to the antibiotics you will take. This is very important.
4. If, after 2/3 weeks of waiting, results are positive, congratulations, you have caught it. If not, my advice is not to give up and try again with another gyn and a different lab. Sometimes, a gyn with his own lab is very helpful. Please do not let any doctor to tell you your symptoms are psychological.
5. In the case you are positive for chlamydia, please be aware these are very resistant in the sense that, even when in text books it is said that a 10/14 days course of antibiotics is enough, it is not. Some chlamydias (these organisms get inside the cell and reproduce themselves until the host cell bursts) might live inside the cell for up to 4 weeks and therefore not be affected. Ask your doctor for high and long dose of the correspondent antibiotic. In the case you get treated but some of them survive, your will feel great for some months or even years, and then get the same symptoms with the time.

Please be aware that these are STD diseases, in the meaning that you caught it either from your actual partner, a former one or from your mother at birth. You can know if the last case is true, just checking whether you were born late (or premature, in the case of mycoplasms), and when your mom/any of her sisters have a past of miscarriages and/or infertility. Check also your partners’ family health history in the same way.

As these are STDs, you cannot have sex (even when using condoms) with your partner during the antibiotic treatment. Your partner will also have to follow the treatment. After treatment, please use condoms for at least 6 months, until you are pretty sure your system is clean and you have no recurring infections. If you do not do this, re-infection from your partner (or him from you) is possible.

PLEASE TELL THIS TO ANY WOMAN YOU MIGHT THINK HAS THIS PROBLEM. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT. IT SEEMS MEDICAL COMMUNITY IS CLOSING ITS EYES TO THIS. I DO NOT KNOW THE REASON. BUT TRUST ME, IT IS SOOOO NOT MENTAL.

Get well, and help other women. We deserve it.

Well thank you so much for that post lenguerrand.

I have been experiencing pelvic pains and pain in my joints. I have taken 3 home pregnancy tests and one blood test for preganancy and were negative. My menstruation is now late for 16 days and I feel very much pregnant. I have now made an appointment with the doctor to see why I am experiencing these pains but if you mentioned chlamydia I will keep my eyes opened for that.

I do not wish you ill health such as guest but am happy to learn of possibilities which may not be pregnancy so thank you.

Kind regards,

A bewildered young woman.

I saw the posting that some one was not sure if she is pregnant and one person stated that the test are almost correct and blood test are 100% right. Will that is false information I am 30 know but when I was 15 I was five months pregnant and the blood test came back negitave and the Dr.s saw my stomach and beleaved the test over the evidence long story short I felt the baby and not getting proper medical care is not good for you or the baby my .the first pregency is harder to detect if you think or feel like your pregnant and showing make the Dr.s do a ultrasound hope this helped,good luck
