Trying To Conceive, Been Stressed, Headaches, Dizziness, Stomach Pain, Nausea, Tenderness In Breasts. Am I Pregnant?

Hi, I am 40 yo. I have been ttc for a few years and recently left a job that caused a great deal of stress. I had mid cycle spotting last month and then had spotting a few days after my cycle was expected to start. I am on hydrochlorthorazide and read that some diuretics can cause false negative hpt. I have been experiencing severe headaches, dizziness, stomach pain, nausea and tenderness in my breasts. I currently do not have insurance and before I spend the money to go to a doctor I am wondering the legitimacy of the hctz affecting the results of my hpt's. I have taken several, different brands, most recent was clear blue two days ago. Could I be pregnant or should I be concerned about something else?

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The symptoms you have mentioned are not related to pregnancy. Since your periods are overdue and HPT is negative, you can go for a blood HCG levels monitoring to be very sure.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. You can consult me again directly through my profile URL http://bit.ly/Dr-Rakhi-Tayal
