How Can A Cryptic Pregnancy Be Diagnosed?

First, I need an obgyn that is familiar with cryptic pregnancies. I had not been intimate for years. By chance, met a man 30 yrs younger than me. I did not think I could get pregnant, so no bc. 12 mos ago, was with him. I developed all sx of pregnancy. I did not imagine or wish or even have a thought of pregnancy. I was 110 lbs and thin.. My abd has always been concave. I had weeks of nausea, dizzy, headaches. My abd got a pooch, then many veins, petechiae. I got irreg contractions, sensation of movement on both sides and middle of abd after 5 mos approx. Neg urine and blood preg test. Neg us but abd has gotten larger, and Hurts also in ribs. My lower back now has an arch. It hurts. Gained 25 lbs. Have been to family pr dr, ob gyn and int med np. They say Im psyche but I am not. Psyche dr says I am normal, but he sees abd issue, and cannot dx it. Friends that know me, have all said my abd is not normal, many say I am pregnant. I know how rare it is, but I have not been given any other dx for condition and sx. It is not pseudocyesis. I am sorry, did not mean for my question to go to a neurologist. I need an ob gyn that has seen and txed cryptic pregnancy. Thank you
