What Causes Pregnancy Symptoms And Bleeding?

Thought i was about 4 weeks pregnant. Had all the signs like nausea, tender breasts, missed period, fatigue. Took an ept that came out negative but I have never tested positive until 7 weeks with those. This morning I woke up with severe abdominal pain and after an hour started heavy orange-red bleeding. What is going on?

Hi,
I understand your concern.
The symptoms you had including delayed periods for 7 weeks with nausea,tender breasts,fatigue are symptoms of early pregnancy. BUT your pregnancy test was never +ve. That rules out pregnancy .
You got periods without taking any medicines for it. This also suggests abnormal/irregular period.
First understand the reason for early pregnancy signs.
-When a lady menstruates, the normal hormonal content of blood which has caused collection of blood vessels in uterine lining- drops down. the blood vessels break & bleeding starts.
-But in case there is conception, the hormones do not drop ,instead the menstruation is stopped, hormones go on collecting in blood & help the fetus to grow.
_ the pregnant woman's body is not used to high level of hormones & it reacts to produce pregnancy symptoms.
* Now in your case, there was delayed period, naturally hormones continued to be in blood- the uterine lining became thicker & blood level of hormones went on increasing----
- That is why you had pregnancy like symptoms.But the pregnancy test which is due to hormone( HCG) which is generated from fetus remained -ve.
* All the thing suggests irregular menstruation. I would advice you to get examined & investigated for it by a gynecologist. & start with treatment advised. Get your periods be normal.
Thanks
