I am NOT crazy!!

I made a post about this awhile ago in the private section, but I need a lot more opinions now. All the pictures are in my blog. I am not gaining weight. I lost a pound when I weighed myself on Friday morning. Plus, by the way my stomach is growing, there is no way I could gain that much weight in three weeks. Please help me out girls.

I have no idea what to tell you. I'd head to a doctor for sure!!!! If you aren't pregnant something could be wrong. Or you could just be bloated. Sorry I can't help.

Oh wow, Jessica.. how confusing! I looked at your pics, and you do appear a bit bigger to me. I was going to suggest bloating, as well? I can bloat in my stomach and get a "bulge".. especially when hormones are on the rise (i.e. ovulation & AF). Personally, I think I'd make an appt. if I were you ... you're concerned about something, so it's worth a visit. Get a blood test!!!!

Looks like it's most likely bloating. If you have been getting negative hpt's and your period it would be very rare to be pregnant.

Don't hold off seeing your doctor if you're worried

I can definately tell a difference but I don't have a clue what to tell you hun. I know it must be confusing. I would just go to the Dr and have them do a blood test at least. I hope you get some answers. G/L girl and KUP!!!!!!!

That is not bloating. I don't bloat that much at all. Not even water weight. I'm just leaving it. I mean, I just ovulated!! I got my CH this morning. My period last month (September 2) was lighter than I've ever had and a bit shorter... but that doesn't explain why my August period was a bit heavier than normal and longer. I would just ignore this stomach of mine if I saw the number on the scale going up, but since it's going down... that's why it's a bit annoying at the moment.

I'm not going to the doctor until I start working though. I don't want to pile up medical bills when I don't have a job. Thankfully I have a job interview on Wednesday. My FF chart is SCREWED UP!! I had a butt load of EWCM last night before going to bed. I just don't think I am 3DPO, but I understand with the thermal shift.

I just can't let myself read too much into either one of these issues. I'll be away from JM for awhile still. It's too stressful.

I am a pretty tiny girl and pride myself on my flat tummy and the amount of bloat I have gotten within the past year is unreal. When I was younger, AF would never affect my body, mood, bloating etc. But I don't know if it's my age, or diet, or stress or whatever, but at different times of the month my stomach can look like I'm a good 4 months pg. And I stress out and look in the mirror sideways and think maybe, just maybe, it's a pg belly and my last AF was really IB....and then all the tests are neg. and the big tummy comes and goes for no reason. I hope it's a baby in there for ya but I just don't want you to get your hopes up like I do.

Hope this didn't come off as insensitive, I just go through this ALL the time and hate the letdowns. KWIM?
