Advice - I'm late :`(

They probably asked to see your regular doctor because there are soooo many things to throw your cycle out of whack. Stress. Weight gain (or loss). Hormones. Illness. Not everything has to be related to the "female parts" to make you late. Its just as likely to be something completely different, but affects your cycle.

Glad the test came back negative. Its ok to miss a month - its not ok to ignore it. Find a doctor ASAP to figure out why you missed. I always had irregular cycles but always knew why, so when months went by and I didn't have a period, I didn't worry. Like Jenn, I enjoyed being free! :D :p

Here's a link from the Ontario College of Physicians and Surgeons - the Find a Physician page. You don't need the name, of course...try this.

If nothing else you should probably take a folic acid tablet every day (they are inexpensive and you can buy them at your local pharmac). IF you are pregnant folic acid is extremely important for the development of a babies brain and nervous system. Unfortunately this generally happens in the first 3 months when most women do not realize they are pregnant. (And if you do take them and you are not pregnant there are few sides effects that you need to worry about.)

Awesome thank you!

That also explains why I've never heard of them, new.

haven't found a Dr. I like (yes yes I'm picky, can't help it. Really I can't). I did find a really really nice walk-in clinic! The Dr. was so nice, soft spoken. He did the "pee" test & it was negative. So he told me to come back in 30mins to take blood (the lady that does it wasn't in yet). So I went back in 1hr (bad traffic) & I'll know the results on fri. He said when the results come in, we'll go from there.

Someone posted the below & then deleted it, but I still want to answer it.. I just removed the names

When I was pregnant with my daughter ***, I had my Dad over for dinner, to tell him the good news.

What I did was put a pillow under my shirt and walked out of the bedroom. All he did was smile. It was a smile I will NEVER forget.

How about doing a home pregnancy test. Put the (hopefully?) positive test in a bracelet gift box and wrap it up to present to him.

Thats a great way to tell your dad. Mine lives 2000km away :(
I told him what was going on last night. He's supportive... so far... I think he's mostly ok with it because I'm not a child anymore. I'm sure if I was 2yrs younger he would have freaked out screaming on the phone as I would have been too young.

Haven't told Trevor yet.. as there is NO proof I am preg. all tests are showing up negative. When I get the results on Fri he'll find out whats been going on.

He was extra cuddly & sweet last night (which is hard to do considering he is very cuddly & very sweet all the time.. he really does treat me like a princess). but I noticed a difference in his actions. I'm positive he knows something is going on & he knows he'll hear about it when I'm ready to share (we're both shy people & not intrusive). I am glad that he's not being forceful in finding out why I was at the Dr.'s all afternoon (twice) yesterday. This whole thing sucks for me big time & him just being supportive in the unknown is really helping me feel good. Well as good as I can feel that is.

My dad is a little worried as he knows our family history, & he agrees being preg is the lesser of the 2 evils. Dad has known that something has been up for a while. He has asked me several time in the past month if I was ok, i seem off, odd, not me. Now he knows.

I also told my really good friend here at work. She took it much better then I thought. She is the prying type but only to people she cares about. If your going to the Dr. she wants to know why & if there is anything she can do, & if support is needed. So when she foundout I was leaving from work yesterday she was worried cause I NEVER leave work & shes never heard me go to a Dr. for being ill before (I'm not the type to get sick enough to take meds or see a dr.). I know the thought is killing her inside that I might be preg, but the chances of being preg are low as the tests are showing up negative & I'm not showing any signs (except weight gain, but I go up n down in weight often) & I believe I'm psychologically "thinking" my errr chest parts are tender cause everyone keeps asking me... so I'm ignoring that one. With my digestive issues my gut is always rumbling so it can be sore, weird, etc often, so I can't take that as a symptom either. Just the lack of my insides falling out monthly.

oh how I miss it! I need it to feel reEnergized.. I feel like a bloated blob

We'll be thinking of you, and hope the doctor can help you figure out what's happening, and help you feel better.

Take care and I can't wait to hear what the results are.:)
