Hi I'm back,
In the month of February to early March I had three negative pregnancy tests and one negative blood test. Should I take another pregnancy test?? Also has anyone used a baby monitor? Will I be able to hear the heart beat clearly? Then can I show the doctor? I think I"ll be 12 weeks in the end of April or beginning of May. I keep growing 36-almost 42 in one 1/2 months. I have strange gurgles in my stomach some times too, eating more too, especially late at night. Sometimes pains on my right side abdomen. No one will give ultrasound unless a positive result. I'm 51 years old.
Thanks for help.
Hi Faithful,
Are you pregnant?
You should definitely have had a positive result by now. hCG rises very rapidly during pregnancy, it is unlikely none of the tests would have worked by now.
Gurgles and some pains are are not specific to pregnancy.
It is VERY hard to hear a fetal heartbeat. Usually you'd need to wait until about 5 months or so, more likely the last tri-mester.
What you may hear during an ultrasound is done via doppler and it may be discernible at about 12 weeks.
Good luck.
I meant a baby doppler; you can rent them online. I have heard that woman get negative tests and five weeks later they get a positive and sometimes they find out later.
Thanks.
If you are pregnant you might hear a heartbeat at 12 weeks using doppler.
You should have had a positive test, even at 8 weeks, if you last tested early in March.
I wish you luck but, have you considered that maybe you are starting menopause? I would expect your doctors would have at least suggested it as a possibility.
