Pregnant?

Pregnant?

I'm 30yo with a history of ovarian cancer (5 yrs out!). I have my L ovary, and per Drs, fertility should not be an issue. HB and I planned to have a child during the next yr or so (don't have any yet), but could be that the time is now... Recently was off the pill for over a wk bc I couldn't pick up the Rx, and we had unprotected sex multiple times. Period has been irregular for the past few months; ranges from 21-28 days (used to be clockwork 28 days). Last one started around the end of May (28-30)/Jun 1st (I know, I know, when it counts, I cannot remember when it began!!). I've been on Provigil, which lowers BC efficacy, and also made the periods irregular. So...lately, I've had extreme breast tenderness, nausea (vomited a few times), and fatigue. I also frequently use the bathroom, but that's normal for me. I've never had to take a test before, and now taken 3, all of which have been negative (home kits). With my calculations, I think I might be too early (at 3 weeks, if I am on the normal 28 day cycle), but I'm getting lost here and really not sure how to figure this out. By the way, I did make an appt with my doc, but can't get in until July for "fertility issues." Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

When you called for the appointment, did you specifically state that you wanted them to do a pregnancy test, and not actually talk about fertility treatments?  Taking your blood for a pregnancy test takes all of five minutes; I'm not sure why your doctor would make you wait an extra week. 

 

Stock answer, however: no one on the internet is going to be able to tell you with any certainty if you are pregnant.  Your best bet is whatever that blood test from the doctor tells you.

just because your doctor tells you that your infertile certainly does not mean that you can't get pregnant. my husband had his left testicle ripped out by a german sheppard when he was 11 years old. it was replaced with a silicone ball. he was told he was hands-down 100% sterile. i have endometriosis, and was told i would probably never get pregnant, and if i did i would most likely have a misscarriage. after i was past the misscarriage stage of my pregnancy, they told me i would have my daughter prematurely. ha! i carried until 37 weeks, and then demanded to be induced. i'm now pregnant with my second child. needless to say, i have 2 little miracles in my life! i agree with the previous poster, you need to tell your doctor that you also need a blood test done. however, no one on the internet can tell you if you are in fact pregnant. we can only speculate.
