Suggest Treatment For High Fever And Nausea

Hi, to start off I normally have a 5 day period, and on September 7th I had a three day period, that wasn t heavy and away unusually dark and smelled different. I had it shortly after a negative home pregnancy test and figured it was just a weird period. I normally have pretty bad cramps and bloating from the week before my period all the way to a full week after, and this also didn t happen, but I did feel like I had the flu the whole time with out a high fever. I ran about 99 degrees. The symptoms went away after this period, but came back a week or two later and have only gotten worse since. They started out with random pains, and some nausea. Now after that week of bliss I have severe nausea, back ache, head aches, heart burn (which I have never had in my life) a rock hard stomach, have gained six pounds in two weeks (that s never happened before either) am craving random foods that I hardly eat and my sense of smell is heightened. I m also constantly exhausted more than usual, can barely sleep my breasts are so sore, and I m extremely moody. I ve had nothing but negative home pregnancy tests and even a negative blood test but I just feel different. My ob doesn t think I m pregnant but I just feel so different than I have ever felt before. I ve never been pregnant and while I hope I am I can t stand feeling this way and it s not the best time for my fiance and I to be pregnant because the possible due date is really close to our wedding. I would just like some insight as to what could be wrong so I can calm my nerves because I can t wait till I go back on Monday.

Hello madam,
Welcome to Health Care Magic and Thank you gor posting your concern here.
I went through your concern in depth, your symptoms are suggestive of a pregnancy but since your Obstetrician has ruled out a pregnancy,i suspect it is Pseudocyesis or False Pregnancy.Women having an intense desire to get pregnant because of infertility or miscarriages or an intense desire to get married expiriences Pseudocyesis.It is a psychological condition wherin the brain triggers the release of hormones like oestrogen and prolactin.This is the reason for pregnancy like symptoms.
This being said there are other conditions like ectopic pregnancy and cancer that may resesmble a pregnancy.so your doctor needs to rule out these too before making a diagnosis of pseudocyesis.
So my advise is to stay calm till your consultation on monday and follow the advise of your doctor.
Thank you.
