You say this has been going on for two months. If you've been pregnant for two months it is highly likely that an in-home pregnancy test would be positive since it 'turns positive' because of the hcg in your blood. The hcg is also the pregnancy hormone that causes a lot of the craving/nausea symptoms you're describing. At two months, the amount of hcg should be sufficient enough for a home test to appear positive. Stranger things have happened though, and since you're going to the doctor on the 10th you should ask for a blood test to rule it out completely.

Are you actively trying to get pregnant? Are you wanting another baby? Sometimes, your mind can play some pretty serious psychosomatic tricks on you - in other words, the mind becomes preoccupied with becoming pregnant so you become super sensitive to any indicator that a pregnancy exists.

If you go to the doctor and find out you're pregnant, congratulations! If you go to the doctor and the testing is negative, then make sure you describe everything that's going on with your health. These symptoms could definitely be an indicator of some sort of hormonal/endocrine issue. Either way, something's going on that deserves a closer look.

Are you eating a balanced, nutritious diet? If not, your body might be lacking in some vitamins A lack of vitamin C may be the reason you're craving oranges. And you might have gotten sick because you just ate a ton of bacon :) And the "little movements" could be gas bubbles. I say take another pregnancy test and if it's negative, go to the doc anyway and have further testing done to make sure you're healthy. Good luck!

Doesn't sound like your pregnant to me. It sounds like your body getting back to normal after having a baby. That can take many months, in my case, many years.

Home pregnancy tests are actually pretty accurate when done right. Not sure when you did the first test, but like you said, it could have been too soon. If your test is negative tonight, then you are probably not pregnant.

Don't know what else it could be. Good luck. See if you can get that appt moved up. Maybe they'll have a cancellation.

I would have a blood test done. Either at your dr or just go to a clinic today that could do the test for you. The blood test is much more accurate than a home pregnancy test.

I would definitly have a doctor check you out. It may be unlikely for a young person to have fibroids, but not impossible.

It's good that you have an appointment to see your dr. It could be nothing but best to know.

Hi Brie,

I dont know if you are or if your not. It sounds like you are but there is only one way of knowing and that's taking another home pregnancy test and if that comes up negative again then it's a good idea to see your doctor. My only advise is that until you know for sure act like you are. By that i mean no smoking, no drinking... well you know :)

It could be that stress has your period all wacky or maybe a new birth control or maybe weight change... IDK. But if you need to talk email me.

Either way good luck :)

I agree blood test is the best way to find it if you are or if your not.

I agree with what M.R. said about wanting to be pregnant!! That is how I was when I was wanting another baby!! This was 6 months before I got pregnant with our son!! I felt nauseous with certain smells!! I was on vacation at the time & was so convinced that I was & then took the test & I wasn't!! Good Luck!!
