Am I Pregnant?

I've been going crazy for two weeks wondering if I'm pregnant. People say not to think about it when you're trying to conceive. How can I not think about it? It's on my mind constantly.

My period is only 1 day late so far. Is it because I'm anxious all the time? I don't want to get my hopes up here.

Oh, and this would be my first.

And, it's our first try.

Hi- Stress can delay the start of you period. Try exercising and having sex. If my Aunt Flo is late, having sex seems to get it going within 24 hours (not sure why). Most of the tests on the market these days can be taken 3 to five days after your missed period. I trust the brand EPT the most. Just as an FYI the digital tests that are on the market now have been knowen to show false results. Congratulations on starting a family and don't get frustrated if it doesn't happen the first month. And if it does- congratulations again!

Go take a test...you might be pregnant enough already :0) ISome of those tests work pretty early in your cycle. Besides, if negative, have more sex and check again in a few days...

Have fun starting a family ;o)

OOh how exciting! I've been really impatient like that too. Take a test! Mine showed positive the day after my missed period. If it doesn't happen this time, I hope it does really soon.

If you're stressing about it I would definitely go take a test. The worst that will happen is you'll waste a few bucks. Go for EPT, they're the only one that I trust. I had multiple negative tests with this pregnancy and EPT is the only one that came up positive, even two weeks after my missed period. Funny, huh? All the generics said negative. Even after I got a positive EPT, I still had others testing negative days later. I went through A LOT of pregnancy tests with this one. I was so sure I was pregnant that I just couldn't believe the negatives. I guess I was right. :)

Good luck!

      Guidance on next steps after the lab tests

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @ABP2025, Here's some studies and articles that will help you learn more about thiamin and all... I will write more later. It's possible that your antibiotic for giardiasis has caused thiamine deficiency.   https://hormonesmatter.com/metronidazole-toxicity-thiamine-deficiency-wernickes-encephalopathy/ And... https://hormonesmatter.com/thiamine-deficiency-testing-understanding-labs/ And... Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/ and... Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/

      Being a burden to family/friends

      By DayaInTheSun · Posted

      Interesting you mention MCAS. I have come across mcas before but I wasn’t entirely sure if that’s what it was. When I eat certain food like dairy or soy my face gets so hot and I feel flush and my heart rate shoot’s up. And sometimes my bottom lip swells or I get hives somewhere. This started happening after I had a really bad case of Covid.  Before that I was able to eat all those things (minus gluten) I was diagnosed with celiac way before I had Covid.  Hmm, not sure really. I may look for a different allergist my current one told me to take Zyrtec and gave me an epi pen.

      Years of testing - no real answers

      By Kiwifruit · Posted

      This is all really useful information, thank you so much to you both.    I have a history of B12 and vit D deficiency which has always just been treated and then ignored until it’s now again.

      9 Year Old test results - help interpret

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Gill.brittany8! There are two main genes that have been identified as creating potential for developing celiac disease, HLDQ2 and HLDQ8. Your daughter has one of them. So, she possesses genetic the potential to develop celiac disease. About 40% of the general population carries one or both of these genes but only about 1% of the general population develops celiac disease. It takes both the genetic potential and some kind of triggering stress factor (e.g., a viral infection or another prolonged health problem or an environmental factor) to "turn on" the gene or genes. Unfortunately, your daughter's doctor ordered a very minimal celiac antibody panel, the tTG-IGA and total IGA. Total IGA is not even a test per celiac disease per se but is a check for IGA deficiency. If the person being checked for celiac disease is IGA deficient, then the scores for individual IGA tests (such as the tTG-IGA) will be abnormally low and false negatives can often be the result. However, your daughter's total IGA score shows she is not IGA deficient. You should consider asking our physician for a more complete celiac panel including DGP-IGA, TTG_IGG and DGP-IGG. If she had been avoiding gluten that can also create false negative test results as valid antibody testing requires having been consuming generous amounts of gluten for weeks leading up to the blood draw. Do you know if the GI doc who did the upper GI took biopsies of the duodenum and the duodenum bulb to check for the damage to the small bowel lining caused by celiac disease? Having said all that, her standard blood work shows evidence of possible celiac disease because of an elevated liver enzyme (Alkaline Phosphatase) and low values for hemoglobin.

      9 Year Old test results - help interpret

      By Gill.brittany8 · Posted

      Hi everyone  After years of stomach issues being ignored by doctors, my 9 y/o daughter finally had an upper endoscopy which showed a ton of stomach inflammation. The GI doctor ordered some bloodwork and I’m attaching the results here. Part will be from the CBC and the other is celiac specific. I’m not sure what’s relevant so I’m just including extra information just in case.   The results are confusing because they say “No serological evidence of celiac disease. tTG IgA may normalize in individuals with celiac disease who maintain a gluten-free diet. Consider HLA DQ2 and DQ8 testing to rule out celiac disease.” But just a few lines down, it says DQ2 positive. Can someone help make sense of this? Thanks so much.  result images here: https://ibb.co/WFkF0fm https://ibb.co/kHvX7pC https://ibb.co/crhYp2h https://ibb.co/fGYFygQ
