AF 6 days late, doctor prescribed provera...WTF? What do you think?

Question

So, I am currently 22dpo (or CD 37) and AF is completely non-existent with no signs that she plans on stopping by to visit this month. I've been getting nothing but BFNs! I went in for a blood test today (won't get results until tomorrow) and of course doc did a urine test that came back negative. So, she proceeds to tell me that she's nearly 100% certain that the blood test will also be negative and that I've made everything up in my head and that's why AF is a no show. She then Rx me Provera to make my period come on AND THEN STARTED TELLING ME THAT I SHOULD GO SEE HER FRIENDS AT THE FERTILITY CLINIC AND MAYBE THEY COULD FIND WHATS WRONG WITH ME....ALL OF THIS BEFORE MY BLOOD TEST RESULTS ARE KNOWN!!!!

I'm sure its obvious that I'm upset and needless to say I will not be returning to that doc (who has been my doc for 4 years!) Believe me, I know that the chances of getting a positive test this late in the game after I've gotten so many BFNs is slim, but the fact is that there is a possibility and I am not even a full week late yet and she's trying to get me to take progesterone to make AF come and is convinced that I'm infertile!!!! ARRRRRRGG!

I'm not asking if you all think I'm pregnant, but I am asking you how do you feel about my experience with my FORMER obgyn?

Additional information: I've been ttc for 8 months, this cycle was the first time I used an opk.

Answer 1

If you don't feel comfortable with a doctor then change. I would not take the provera until blood results have returned and your in the clear of no pregnancy. However, for you and the post above it is likely that maybe there could be an infertility issue and your lucky shes letting you see someone because some doctors won't see you unless your 1 year of ttc with no sucess. As for problems when you go for regular papsmear they can't detect maybe other infertility issues that may arise.

HOWEVER, I am currently late and I know for a FACT I ovulated. If you know you ovulated then there is no way no matter how much stress you have to delay your period and I read this on www.peeonstick.com due to stress, excitement or change you may delay ovulation therefore causing a late period but once you have ovulated you will get a period after your luteal phase.

I have read that some women haven't gotten positives until much later in pregnancy either not enough HCG or it didn't travel through the urine because it wills how up on blood first.

However, my suggestion if you get a negative blood result dont take meds in a week if you havent gotten your period seek another doctor opinion because the day you do get pregnant you will want 100% trust in the doctor that will deliver your child.

Baby Dust to all TTC's.

Answer 2

I feel bad for you for having such an insensitive doc. She is to quick to tell you you havn't concieved. I will go ahead and let you know, my aunt had her monthly for a whole 3 months, regular and she was pregnant. So when she finally found out she was almost 4 months along. So I think some doctors don't know what the h**l they are talking about sometimes. I think they get their liscense out of a craker jack box.

Answer 3

I've come to hate doctors. . . I am now 15 days late and my blood test came back negative. . . but im experiencing  bloating, nauseousness, cramps, heartburn, and really annoying backaches

I read on some forums that some women got false negative blood test back so I'm hoping that is what it is. . . I have never been more than 3 days late so 2 weeks late is insane, with no signs of AF at all, im on the verge or changing Dr.  She wants to see me next week if I do not get AF to do some testing. . . I want some answers just like you. . . she went so far to say maybe its my thyroid or something else wrong with me. . . but this was my DH and mine first attempt at creating a new life what are the chances that my body decided to get sick now when i have never missed a period in my life. . . AHHHHH I feel your pain. . . . I just hate dr.
