When I was pregnant with my first child I was almost a month late before I got a positive test result. I tested every week from the first day of my missed period and kept getting negative results. FINALLY in week four of my missing period it was positive! So it can happen, but I suggest you go see your doctor for a blood test to find out for sure.

im the same way except for im three days past due and was on Tuesday 1 cm 75% effaced and had contractions on Thursday at 3 am till 345..so i know what you mean

The pain.... /facepalm

I would first check her for any type of rash being mild or aggressive,if so it is early stages of Lyme disease and can be treated.After doing this you find your child has or doesn't have the rash still persist yourself into getting her to the doctor for a check up where she can be examined.I am not a strong believer in getting a diagnosis of the internet so please visit the doctor.

thank you

when any part of your body goes, it means that you've momentarily lost circulation to that part of the body.

It impossible to answer such a question on WikiAnswers. Your doctor is the person you should consult for your medical problems.

Lumps on the back of the head could be from many things. A trauma to the head for instance can cause bumps. Head trauma should not be played around with. There could be something seriously wrong and without certain tests, you may not really know for sure. If no trauma was done, It would be best to still get checked out by a doctor. Pain in the head, dizziness and balance problems could be something serious.

Yes yes u should be. Good luck

She may be anticipating. It is staggeringly unlikely that she could have any physical symptoms of pregnancy 7 days after conception. She may see a doctor to set her mind at ease.

yes it can! ow my back...

There could be a multitude of non-dangerous things it could be... I suggest you see a physician to make sure nothing bad is developing. I don't want to scare you, but heed the following: Back ache with pain into both legs could be an aneurysm of the abdominal aorta, the main artery that carries blood from the heart, through the abdomen, and into the legs. An aneurysm is a weakening of the wall of the artery, allowing the involved area to dilate (like blowing up one of those long skinny balloons). If the aneurysm dilates enough, it can rupture and survival is measured in the time it takes a surgeon to diagnose and get you to the operating room. There can also be a growth involving the uterus that can cause symptoms similar to what you describe... My suggestion... See a doctor!

The pain you're describing is typical of a disk herniation at the L3/L4 disk. This can be confirmed through an MRI or CT, but the symptoms are pretty identifiable: sharp, stabbing pain at the lower/mid back region, that follows down the side of the spine, across the waist and hip, across the left or right thigh, and stopping at the inside of the knee. If the pain goes down the back of the leg, then the disk involved is usually the L4/L5 or S1 disks.

The reason the pain travels down the leg is that the nerve is being compressed by the disk herniation, which is when the disk bursts through its protective membrane at weak spot. The pain travels down the nerve pathway, which is how you can tell which disk is being affected.

Many things can cause a disk herniation - it can be something as traumatic as an accident, or something as simple as bending over to pick up a pencil off of the floor. While the membrane will eventually heal, it will always be a weak spot and prone to being herniated again.

Any kind of pain like that lasting more than a week should be looked at by a doctor, preferably a neurosurgeon (stay away from orthopedists - they know jack about dealing with spinal nerves), to get an MRI or CT done to confirm the problem. If the herniation is bad enough, it will also cause muscle spasms, which feel like sharp, shooting pains in the area of herniation. The normal treatment is anti-inflammatories, muscle relaxants and bedrest - getting pressure off of the spine is the most important thing in getting it to heal. Do not sleep on your stomach, and if you do on your back make sure your legs are elevated enough to get pressure off the lower back. The best position is on your side in a fetal position, with a large pillow or cushion between your legs/knees to get pressure off of the hips/lower spine. It takes time to heal - in the days when I still had those disks I sometimes spent as long as a month or more on my back healing up.

Doing nothing is a bad idea, regardless of whatever responsibilities you may have. If you don't deal with it, the chances of real long term damage are probable, and if you think you're in pain now, then you'll learn a whole new range of definitions for pain.

I've added some links below to some good pain and spine sites - check them out and find yourself a good doctor to deal with it. The longer you let it go, the worse it will be and harder to treat later on. Don't let anyone talk you into surgery unless you're at the point where you're facing a wheelchair either.

I suggest that you should consult to expert for health advice. A TCM service platform for public health which may help to solve your problems is recommended to you.

From my experience, it hurts on the side it broke on mostly. The transverse process are the wings that stick out from the vertebre. These are the spots on the spine where muscles and other tissue connect. Standing and sitting still seems to keep the pain at bay. Movement on the other hand causes sharp pains to shoot from the spot down my spine. Laying seems to cause major discomfort. I'm not a doctor, just someone who recent had a transverse process fracture. Hope this helps you out.

This may be kidney stones. Even though these symptoms provided fit this illness, there are many other possibilities. Look at the related link for the exact symptoms of kidney stones.

Except for the accident (my spinal problems are disease related), I've been in this situation, and there aren't any easy options, particularly in the current economic climate.

In my case, I had pretty much stopped working about 2 months prior to my 2nd spinal operation in 1999. It was another year before my disability retirement was approved, and as such, we only had my wife's income to sustain us, along with what little family and friends could help us with. Creditors have no sympathy or heart - all they care about is getting their minimum each month.

You can try credit counseling, but in the end if you look at the numbers, it takes years and the reduction usually isn't enough to help you anyway.

For us, it got to the point where we were left with only one option, and that was bankruptcy. A lot of people don't want to do it, and we were no exception. But it allowed us to keep our house, cars, assets, and erase our other debts so we could at least have a chance at living. And as far as the credit stigma, they were sending me credit card applications within 6 months. I haven't accepted one in 12 years.

Keep in mind that if you can always get an equity loan on your house as well, and if you do it in conjunction with a mortgage refinance (especially given today's rates), you could get the cushion you need to keep going without filing. But in the end, you need to really consider your overall financial position, and if it means losing your house or your pride, pride should always come first. You need to always consider all options, no matter how distasteful they might seem.
