I have not had a period in about 3 months. My little girl is 8mnths old now. I have taken 3 pregnancy tests and all were negative. What worries me is that I am having symptoms of pregnancy and no period, but all the tests are negative. I've been having sickness, dizzy spells, bleeding gums, fatigue, cramps; all of which I had when I was pregnant. Is this a sign that something serious is wrong? and has anyone else had signs of pregnancy when they were not pregnant? I would like to hear some other moms' opinions on this.

What can I do next?

Get in to see your OBGyn. There are many reason to miss a period and/or have pregnancy-like symptoms w/o being pregnant. Some are benign but why risk it? (my first thought is that are are still quite post-partum and haven't gone back-to-normal hormonally speaking). You can only be a great mommy to your infant if you first take good care of yourself.

Not sure if you mean "pee on a stick" (POAS) tests or blood tests. Blood tests and a physical exam are more accurate than POAS tests. If for no other reason than to set your mind at ease, go see your doctor.

Best wishes,

Hormones and sleep deprivation can really do a number on your body, or you could have a deficiency... but I'd make an appt with your gyn. and get checked out.

Good luck!

Are you in the process of weaning? Both times I started weaning I had many pregnancy symptoms, as my hormones tried to rebalance, although the symptoms did not last for three months (only a couple weeks) and I didn't start my period until after I weaned. I would definitely go to your OB to have it checked, though. Best of luck.

Make an appointment to see your OB. You could be pregnant even if the home pregnancy test says negative. You need to get the blood test and have the doctor do an internal exam. Go see your dentist as well with the bleeding gums and be sure you are flossing. Good luck

I had this happen after my second pregnancy right around the same time frame . . . They had to give me something to make me start . . . My hormones were still out of whack . .> I would just call your ob and talk with them. . ..
