possibly 18 weeks, confused

I have been having pregnancy symptoms such as bloating, darker and larger nipples, nausea, fatigue, moodiness, and weight gain, ten pounds in two months and i NEVER gain that much weight, for about the past four months, and I kept getting my period until about six weeks ago. I went to a planned parenthood because I have state insurance and no regular doctors because I just moved. They did a urine test, and it was negative, and gave me birth control. I'm still somewhat nervous that I am pregnant, but I can't find anyone to do a blood test or sonogram to be sure. My biggest worry is that the birth control could somehow effect the possible child in some adverse way, but that maybe it really is just a hormonal imbalance. I have no idea what to do at this point. Help?

I am fairly sure that someone is going to call mud on this, but on the slight chance it is a serious post I will answer.

If you are pregnant enough to have actual symptoms, you would have a positive pregnancy test. If you are at all unsure, you can ask your doctor for a blood test to confirm.

At this point you would be able to get a positive urine test. Go back to PP or a doc if you haven't had a period in more than 60 days as there may be other issues. Otherwise take the BC!

If that is your biggest worry, I'd see a doctor and get yourself thoroughly checked out. And abstain from sex until you do so that you *don't have to* take birth control. It's not hard to abstain.

Tell the receptionist your symptoms and say that you need to see someone as soon as possible. Call as many doctors as you can and get yourself an appointment with *somebody*. 

I doubt you are pregnant, but your symptoms could indicate a hormonal problem. That would also affect your periods. Get checked out.

Insist on a blood test and an u/s. Or apply for I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant.

With my DS I had weird crap going on with my hormones and didnt have a positive test for a while I had to have a blood test. You should probably request one.

This is not true. I know a couple of women who had negative pregnancy tests, even one who had a negative URINE test and was pregnant. It's rare, but it happens.

In case this is not MUD and you really need advice....Like others have said, go back or to another facility and request a blood test to confirm. I had a friend where the pee test was negative but the blood test came back positive. According to her OB, sometimes HGH is less present at different times of the day and can give a woman a false negative or a reading so faint they assume it's negative. A blood test and/or ultrasound is the only fool proof way to find out.

There are all kinds of things that could be messing you up including your thyroid.  You need a full physical and blood work.  Find a doctor that takes your insurance ASAP.

Periods and negative pregnancy tests usually mean not pregnant.

1 post + am I pregnant usually means MUD.

Take another test in a few days.

On the off-chance that this is not MUD, go see a doctor again. My SIL didn't test positive until 16 weeks. See if you can get a blood test, because even if you're not pregnant, something else is going on.
