1st trimester
Negative test, overdue, and always period problems?
ZonnetjeinhuisGuest ·
Good evening!
I haven't posted here before, but I'm curious to read others' stories anyway.
I'm 22 and haven't had my period for over a month now. For the past six months, I've been menstruating daily, and I've been to the gynecologist about this before. He said it wasn't very likely that things would change. But about a month and a week ago, I had my last period. I took a test this week, but it was negative.
Even though it's negative, I'm not 100% convinced. I feel terribly nauseous every day, my breasts are tender, I get severe headaches often, I have sharp pains in my stomach, more discharge than usual, and sometimes I feel dizzy. Since I don't really understand how pregnancy tests work and such (and because I don't have a clear cycle), I'm curious about your experiences and what you'd advise. I'd actually love to have a baby, and I'm disappointed every time I get a negative test. But on the other hand, the gynecologist did say it's harder to get pregnant with my unclear cycle. I've never had this happen before, even though I've had menstrual issues for over 5 years.
Is there still a chance I'm pregnant? Should I trust the test? What would you do? Is anyone else dealing with the same problem?
How does testing work exactly? Should a test already show clear results by now?
Lots of questions and uncertainties, sorry! But I hope you can help me out a bit!
Thanks a lot!
Love!

I think you can trust the test to show that your cycle is quite messed up. By the time you're really ready for a baby and actively trying to conceive, I'd suggest seeking help from a gynecologist or GP for a plan to normalize your cycle if it's still that irregular. There are medications that can make your ovulation and periods more regular without having to go straight into an IVF treatment.
I'm assuming from your story that you ended up at the gynecologist because of the daily bleeding and not yet because of an active desire for a child.
