Ok, I am 51 years old; started my period at age 16.
Last October through December (period stopped, no spotting, nothing)
January some spotting.
2nd week in Februray- stomach blew up, breast grew (nipples) pimples around tips of breast (said they could be mammary glads, and perky, nausea off and on, stomach tightness, some fatigue, not able to eat foods I used to - eating more bland foods, once got dizzy (last night in supermarket), sometimes couldn't bend down or stretch too much. I have no hot flashes or sweats, no mood swings.
I have had three pregancy tests- all negative. I called up the EPT hotline and they told me I probably was going through "the change". I have read women can and have gotten pregnant in perimenapuase.
Do you think I should wait or take a blood test????? Thank you.

I do not think it would hurt to make an appointment with your local family doctor. They can do a blood pregnancy test just incase you are pregnant. You will need to find out sooner than later because its very harmful to become pregnant when you are older. If your not pregnant and hitting preimenopause your doctor will be able to put you on medications to help regulate your system and control your symptoms.

Thank you Heather.
God bless you. Let me share this with you. , I have surrendered it to the Lord, during worship I have weept before the Lord, and have asked, knocked, and sought. I am moving on... and I know God will reveal his plan for me and my family's lives soon. I don't know if I shared this with you, after I read my daughter bible journal - I saw she was still praying for a sibling had been for about 7-8 years. I prayed to God to let me have a child, if it was his will. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers. Love you all.

I am going to the same doctor that told me I couldn't be pregnant, or get pregnant. He said my eggs wouldn't be producing enough. Well the thing that really bugs me is ( my vagina is no longer dry since December). I read a woman's story like me and she ended up pregnant. I found out you can have nausea and dizzy with perimenapause. I have no common symptoms now though. So I think it is best I get a blood test, and even those aren't a 100 % so only time will tell. I hope though if I'm pregnant the blood test will reveal this. I'm feeling fluttering again right now. Thank you for your help. I"'ll keep you posted.

I would go to a different doctor. Once a doctor has something set in there head they keep going after it or avoiding it. It sounds like your doctor has already got it in his head that there is no possibility your pregnant and is going to try everything but that. Keep me posted. Thanks

I'm on charity care; I don't know if they can give me another doctor. I do realize what you are saying. He was foreign and I didn't even know his name. However, when I get there I"ll try and request a different doctor. Thanks Heather!

update of me- Also I measured my waist and I was 36, my daughter wanted to measure again and now I jumped up three more inches! I can not bend down very long, yesterday and today a lot of stomach tightness. I went into the dentist office and had to leave, the smell was really getting to me- medicine smell. I was in college library and couldn't even been down much, I had to sit down on the floor. Just now I had a brief lightheaded and dropped to the floor. As I"m typing I still fell light headed.

Hi,
I finally went to the same doctor and took my husband. He didn't want to give me any tests. I said "well what if there is a chance I"m pregnant?" He said "good question", he expressed. "It is a one and 10,0000 chance that you are. I"ll give you the tests so you will feel more secure."
We left and had my pregnancy test, hormonal test, and thyroid test done today. I should have my answer sometime next week.

Hi Heather and everyone,
I still haven't heard from the doctor yet. I"m listing every symptom I have had since February and I"ll put an * next to the ones that are still happening to me.
food aversions -desire to eat bland foods
heighten of smells-
nausea
dizzy, light headness occasionally *
abdomen large*
breast large*
breast tenderness*
red palms
tired/fatigue*
aches and sharp pains in abdomen occasionally (bad during bleeding the past three days-period???)
Oily face (now at night) I have been washing with a good cleanser too moisturizer
gurgling and sometime some indigestion*
So that is all my symptoms for now.
I"ll keep you inform. Even if the blood test is negative, I am not going to believe I'm not pregnant. I will closely monitor my body and symptoms. When I get bigger, I'm going back to the doctor. I want to try and request a different doctor.
Thank you.

Thanks Heather; I"ll keep you updated. Thanks for all your help and advice. I called the doctor and they said my blood test was normal. They wouldn't tell me anything else; and the doctor doesn't want to see me now. So I will wait, and go on with my life. I have prayed that God will help me feel better if I"m not pregnant and lead me to some other resource if I don't feel better. As I prayed I heard the Lord say to me "Trust Me".
