@luckycookie51 I have had the same scare I did so many tests, urine and blood all negative and kept on thinking I am still pregnant, I had every symptom you could possibly think of, short period, light period, late period, nausea, headaches, breast pain EVERYTHING. Until I saw an obgyn, had 3 blood test which confirmed the negative test. Then she asked for an ultrasound to check if there any issues and I got diagnosed with PCOS which had a factor in growing my tummy (the one I though it’s a baby bump).
Please note cryptic pregnancy happens when women don’t test or don’t acknowledge their symptoms or test too late and get the hook effect (not necessarily) but it can be seen as a normal pregnancy on ultrasound! Instead I found cysts!
I had a scare about ectopic pregnancy and thought that the tests won’t show a positive result but turns out even in ectopics a pregnancy test turns positive and there is no way for the fetus to survive!
