Ok I have had five pregancys one was a miscarriage and I lost a 6 month old baby and now have three wonderful boys. With my last boy the said that he was a girl and then later discovered it was a boy I wanted a girl with all my heart and knew that maybe it happend for a reason. I got my tubes tied not really being ready but it was too late. I recently got married to the father of my two youngest kids and had my period a week before the wedding whcih was really weird because it was only 4 days i usually go seven my dress was big on me when i bought it then a month before the wedding it was so tight i had trouble losing seven lbs in a month im overweight and can lose that in a week. I was nauseated June July and August and then it stopped now Im on a diet cuz I have gained another 10 lbs since august i stopped eating unhealthy and ive still been gaining. I feel preganat and even movement I feel like and idiot because my heart wants a girl so much and i already have 3 boys I had a tubal ligation in 2006 so there is no way that I am right. I have tested three times and all negative the last one is inconclusive which was last week this is driving me crazy i see babys everywhere and feel like crying cuz I cant stop thinking about it.

What can I do next?

Odds are very, very low, but not nonexistant.

It sounds like you'd like to be pregnant, and who knows. Maybe go see the doctor?

Good luck!

Hi A., if you've had three negative PTs, you are not pregnant.
All the things you mention here, missed/short periods, weight gain, nausea,and even dpression, can all be signs of perimenopause (as well as a sign of a thousand other things).

I think it's time to call your OB/GYN, or GP and have an honest discussion of your symptoms.

Of course there IS that teeny chance of pregnancy after a tubal, and there is a teeny chance a PT could be a false negative, but there's too many chances here for that to be your issue.

Now might be a good time to have a good sit down with your husband as well. Discuss the possibility of a reversal, adoption, therapy, etc....

I wish you the best and know how you feel. Would've LOVED another baby but had my tubes tied as well, sigh. :(

It is possible, just very low chances. I would make an appointment with your Dr to see if they can figure out what's going on.

Have you considered having it reversed? Just remember if you do, you could always end up having another boy if you do get pregnant again. What about adoption? There are many baby girls that need a good mommy like you :) Good luck!

I would see your doctors, your OB and Your general have the pregnancy possability checked out, then if not go to your general practitioner and have your thyroid checked out.

Your mind id very powerful. I was late while trying for my 1st I was 30 days late and I had all the symptoms in the book, but nope I was not pregnant. I am not a hypercondriak, but I wanted to be pregnant so bad I convinsed my body I was so, mornign sickness, headaches, backaches, soreness I had it all.

Please get looked at.

Have you contacted a doctor? There's no way for us to know if you're pregnant or not. I'd believe the tests, but after this long and the symptoms, I'd talk to a professional about whatever is going on.

It sounds like your "wish" to be pregnant is manifesting itself in a physical form.... causing the symptoms. I've heard of this happening before. You do need to go to the doc. I have a feeling that your diet might be part of the culprit as well.... you started gaining some weight by not eating healthy and also the stress of just getting married to your babys dad and such. Stress does crazy stuff to our bodies.
You've been blessed with 3 boys, concentrate on them and stop buying PT's and wishing for another child, those 3 boys that are here and now --need a healthy mommy ;)

Why have you not seen your doctor about this? Stop denying whatever is going on and get yourself check out!

have you taken a pregnancy test? I would take one ASAP, and maybe talk to my doctor. It is possible to get pregnant after a tubal, it's just more rare.
