Ok....for all you fantastic OB nurses out there, I have a what seems to me to be a mind-boggling question.
I went to the docs earlier this morning feeling generally unwell...nauseous, vomiting, headachy....with intermittent quite severe stabbing abdo pain. My thought was a flulike illness till I started getting the abdo pain, which is when I headed off down to the docs. He did a few blood tests and then brought me back in a few hours later and told me that I was pregnant. I insisted that this is not possible. I have not had any sex for more than a year. He just shook his head and said no way, you must have forgotten that it happened or something because the blood tests confirm you are pregnant. Forget?!?! Pfffftt...if something like that happened in the middle of my insane work and social schedule, then I definitely wouldn't be forgetting about it. :chuckle
So what I want to know is whether there are any illnesses or conditions that can mimic the results of a pregnancy test. My doctor insists that he's found the solution to the problem and won't even listen to me about investigating any other things. I'm just hoping it goes away but if it continues, I'll be seeking a specialist opinion, but not sure whether to go to the OB/GYN or a general surgeon.
