Hey there!
I know I've posted about this before, but I just can't help myself.
Anyways, after hearing so many stories about women not knowing they were pregnant, I can say I am paralyzed with fear. I had sex in January, protected. Soon after that I got my period, a few days late, but it was a stressful month, so I guess that explains it. Then the period following that was normal. Then soon after my 2nd period I had a small bulimic episode, which I think explains why my 3rd period was a bit light, regardless I was afraid, so I took two pregnancy tests, both turning up negative. Then I got my 4th period, and it already seemed to be more heavy. Not AS heavy, but still, more then the one before. And then my recent period 5th was already heavier and lasted even longer then the lighter ones. During all of these I had PMS and cramping. I'd be 20 weeks now, my stomach hasn't grown nor my breasts grown (I'm not a heavy girl, very normal), no symptoms what so ever. I am reaching ovulation and noticed that from my cervical mucus (it was strechy).
What bothers me is that even after all of the information given and even a visit to the doctors on Monday where I got a pelvic exam (pressing around my stomach, you think they would have felt a pregnant belly?) I still have anxiety over this issue, it's honestly going to the point where I call myself insane. I've lost weight, I'm tired/dizzy a lot and I feel my stomach pulsating, but I constantly think it's a baby kicking.. Please give me some assurance and any advice to get over this fear of mine? I'd really not want to have to suffer from this until October when the "baby" would be due...
