Could I be pregnant?!

[MommyofNRM]

We usually use condoms but we're not 100% with them and there have been a few times when we forgot and just used the withdrawl method. Well, I haven't had my period since Sept. In mid Oct, I took about 4 hpt and they were all negative. Lately I've noticed my pants are tighter and my lower belly feels bloated and very uncomfortable if I put any pressure on it. I've been peeing a ton and I have a huge appetite! I've also been getting heartburn really often. I'm going to schedule an appt with my ob, but right now, the suspense is killing me! Do you think I could be pregnant? Even though I had 4 negative tests? I don't have all the same noticeable symptoms that I did with my son but I know all pregnancies can be different. Any input would be much appreciated! Thanks

There are those rare people who never test positive on a HPT so I'd say it's possible :)

I did test positive at 4 weeks with my first pregnancy. Would that matter? Obviously we weren't trying and we'd decided to wait until next year, but I will be ecstatic if I am! I've been wanting another so badly. Thanks for giving me hope! haha

I've watched a few episodes of that "I didn't know I was pregnant" show and although some of it makes me roll my eyes there do seem to be occaisions where people have had children previously but don't test positive with the current pregnancy for some unknown reason.

Ha that's true. I've seen that show and I still don't understand how you go 9 months (with a moving baby) and not know until you go into labor. I'm still unsure what's going on with me but I have an appointment on Monday morning with my ob. Hopefully I get some answers!

is there a  reason you haven't taken a test recently? i'd try that first to help with the suspense! maybe mid october was too soon? 

[MommyofNRM]

Well we were just figuring that I wasn't pregnant, until very recently. My dh said buying another home pregnancy test would be a waste of money since whether it's positive or negative, I'd need to see my OB. The suspense is definitely killing me! At this point, I'll be really disappointed if it turns out that I'm not. Hopefully I find out for sure on Monday! Thanks for your responses!
