When I was 6 days late I called my gynecologist to try to set up an appointment amd they told me to wait a while and keep taking test. Then told me not to make an appointment until i get a positive test. Any other doctors like this? Now im 8 days and I am having the swollen breast, light cramps, motion sickness, bloated, gassy, slightly elevated basal temp.

It is not uncommon for gynecologists to advise patients to wait until they receive a positive pregnancy test result before scheduling an appointment. This approach is based on the fact that early pregnancy can sometimes result in false negatives on home pregnancy tests. By waiting for a positive result, the doctor can ensure accurate diagnosis and provide appropriate care. However, if you are experiencing symptoms such as swollen breasts, light cramps, motion sickness, bloating, gas, and slightly elevated basal temperature along with a missed period of 8 days, it is advisable to consult your gynecologist again. These symptoms could indicate various conditions such as hormonal imbalances or even early pregnancy despite negative test results. Your doctor will be able to evaluate your specific situation and provide further guidance or recommend additional tests if necessary.

Don't worry.

Sometimes, it takes 10-12 days for HCG hormone to show up in home pregnancy test.

Be patient and take care of yourself as if you are pregnant till it is made clear.

Do not stress and relax.

Swollen breasts and bloating are definitely an early sign of pregnancy.

If it's going to be +ve what better way to begin with a relaxed and calm mind.

All the best
