Someone please help!

It all started last weekend with a hell of a migraine. Nothing I couldn't handle, I slept, it went away after a few hours. Start later that night, I started vomiting. Like, everything. I couldn't brush my teeth without vomiting, or at least horribly gagging. (keep in mind, my period started that very same night, this is relevant, I feel).

It went on for days. The vomiting, not the migraine. It was an entire week before I could eat anything without vomting. The sight and smell of food made me vomit, it was horrible. This past Sunday, I was able to eat and keep food down. Not much, but slow.

Monday, the vomiting continued, HORRIBLY. But MOnday night, was able to eat. Tuesday, I felt amazing, wonderful! Wednesday, some nausea, and by 1am was vomiting again. Yesterday, able to eat all day. felt pretty good, until about 10pm, then more vomiting. Today, even more!!!

My SO, (and his mother, a nurse), are convinced I am pregnant. I do not believe it's possible.

I had 3 months of nearly non-exsistant periods. I am using hormonal birth control, 110% correctly. This past period (started May 28th), was soooo normal, I was soooo excited! It was 5 days, normal flow etc.

Anyway, on Monday they insists I take a pregnancy test anyway. I did and it was negative.

My SO is once again insisting on a pregnancy test, as in, wanting me to take one today. I think it's a waste of money, time, and unneeded stress (IMO).

I feel 1111100% that I am NOT pregnant, but SO insists if it's just a virus 'how come noone else has gotten it???'...

What could be wrong with me? Could I really be pregnant? Am I in denial? Or is it something else?

Is there anything new in your environment? I've had the same reaction when I've visited a friend's house--migrane, serious nausea and vomiting come on 2 hours after I leave. I don't know what it is that does it there though. But it's happened on 3 separate visits (now we meet in a park).

Could you have gotten something new in your house that you're reacting to? Weather/heat related or sinus infection?

From your dates, it seems unlikely that you'd even detect pg in a home kit-unless you went for blood levels. If this has been going on for almost 2 weeks I'd head in to your health care provider--they could do a blood test, and at least check you out.

The *only* reason I haven't seen a DR yet, is I have no insurance, and quite honestly cannot afford to see a DR unless it's necessary, and being the stubborn one I am, I don't know if I think it's necessary....yet.

I've told my SO I will gladly take another pregnancy test should I miss the next period. But I have no want to take one beforehand. I seriously do not feel I'm pregnant or even have a possibility of being pregnant.

Today, I ate some, a little bit of food, and although I feel a bit nauseous, am holding it down


I don't think there's been anything new. I honestly can't think of ANY change in my environent or my families at all... I'm clueless.

It's been going on a little long to be the flu...i'd consider going to the DR , is there a free clinic in your area? I do wonder about the birth control, esp if it started soon after.
