Default I need advice before I go insane....

Hello, my name is Kori (hence my screen name) any-who, I am 22 and a single mother of one adorable five year old boy. Well I started dating an old acquaintance of mine from my teen years. Well, for the past six months or so we have been sexually active, well starting in March my period was extremely light; almost like pink water. well in April I didn't have a period. May was light exactly like March except for the last two days which was a gush to normal period. Then last month was a no show on my monthly again. I have been sick to my stomach every day in the afternoon and evenings for the past few weeks. I have also been getting headaches more often. certain smells and foods just turn my stomach. I have also experienced slight cramping and dizzy fits when i just sit there watching television or im standing somewhere talking. I have also acquired a butt load of heartburn and back pain. I have taken a home pregnancy test, which was in the beginning of May, but that was negative. I also saw my dr and took that test, that was also negative. I am also a student in college online, but I am not under any stress, I would know if i was, because I have a five year old and a house to keep in order. oh...almost forgot to mention that all i want to do is sleep, but have a hard time sleeping more than maybe 4 hours at a time.

can someone give me advice?

okay so it's been a few days since my first post: heres an update. Im seeing my dr tomorrow morning. the last two nights I will lay in bed awake, right before i fall asleep and my stomach will flutter or move on its own; what does this mean? and on and off all day and even as i sit here at my computer my stomach flutters every now and then. what if my pregnancy test comes back negative tomorrow? i feel like theres a weight on my stomach that lessens and deepens every day....i swear im losing it.

When was the last time you took a home pregnancy test? Back in May? You would have to be a ways along to be feeling the baby move so that seems unlikely if you had a negative blood test in May. How do the symtoms you are having now compare to when you were pregnant with your son? Hopefully the doctor can tell you exactly what is going on.

Good luck!

I havent had a blood test yet. just the regular urine tests. and so i went to the drs today and the urine test again was negative, but i explained the symptoms and he referred me to an OB which my older sister sees all the time. So i make the apt for this afternoon, go there wait 1.5 hours before being seen then have to wait longer for the nurse practitioner of the OB to come in and she doesn't bother listening to anything i say and says basically its all in my head and that its a thyroid problem, but she gives me the form for blood work.
the symptoms are basically the same, except i was able to find out before i was 5 months along.

why do people think im nuts?

Did you get the bloodwork done? The urine test should be conclusive unless you are only a couple weeks pregnant, but the blood test should show exactly what is going on, be it pregnancy or thyroid or something else.

Good luck!
