What Causes Delayed Periods Along With The Symptoms Of Nausea And Abdominal Cramping?

Hi, my husband and I are trying for our first. My cycles are very irregular and still haven t gotten very far trying to chart our first year. I have been off of birth control for 4-5 months now and have been using natural oils to help regulate my cycles. It is all natural and would only help assist in having a period more regularly which would help to have more regular ovulation s. I recently bought ovulation tests to start tracking exactly when I ovulate. I m in the process of looking for a new doctor as mine is all for birth control and won t give me more options. She says my periods are irregular because I don t ovulate but she ran tests that proves that isn t true. Right now we are trying not to get our hopes up we have let them up and got disappointed a few times now. My last periods start date was May 7th and it lasted 7 days. I am now on cycle day 43. The last few months I have been around 36-42. The longest I have went in the last year was 52 days. We weren t charting very much this month and since my bbt thermometer stopped working I used a regular thermometer roughly around the same time every morning. I wanted to share this as I have charted from the 22nd on and have had 19 days in which stayed high which my charting program stated it signaled pregnancy. We had sex May 21st which the next morning I was spotting a little bit and my boobs were extra sore. We also had sex June 3rd. We aren t sure when I ovulate either time may have been during ovulation. I personally think I ovulated around the 21st due to symptoms. If so I could be 3 or 6 weeks pregnant. For the past 4 days by the afternoon into the evening I am struggling with nausea, dizziness, lower stomach cramping, and constipation/diarrhea. I know this isn t a sickness or food poisoning. I have also been a little bloated and more tired. I noticed my boobs have been more itchy and hurt a little however, I have also been tanning for the summer and got a tiny burnt last week that may cause that. Not wanting to believe I could be pregnant and get let down again. I took a pregnancy test yesterday morning with first morning urine and it was a very faint positive and then three days later it said negative. I am still having symptoms and no period yet on day 47 of my cycle. For some reason it just doesn t seem right I really think as much as I don t want to get let down again, I think I am pregnant. I don t even feel like I really peed on that test correctly even though the line was there. Should I trust the test and say I m not pregnant or should I retest? What do you think? Also, if so, should I retest in a few days or wait a week?

Hello,

As you have symptoms along with missed periods, you have done the right thing by testing with home pregnancy test kit. You are still having a doubt about your pregnancy so I advise a blood test to check HCG levels. That would be a confirmative one. If you don't want to go to hospital, you can check home kit after a week again. If it comes negative, you are not pregnant.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Pallavi M., Anesthesiologist
