Accepted Answer

Health Class: Your symptoms do not in any way represent pregnancy. You have tested 24 times? Perhaps you should take a few minutes to learn that true early pregnancy is ASYMPTOMATIC until the fetus is big enough to make HCG and have a placenta. That means 'early' signs are not pregnancy but something else, usually.  Leg cramping, a sign of the last weeks of pregnancy is not early pregnancy. Ever.

had blood test done by a neurologist and all items came back normal besides low aldolase. 
1.9 u/l. my symptoms are leg cramps in the back calves?

Accepted Answer

Unclear significance: Hi,
Sorry to hear you are feeling poorly. The low aldolase does not really correlate with your symptoms of muscle cramps, but suggests that there is not likely muscle breakdown accompanying your pain. Likely further testing is needed to determine the cause of your symptoms. Here is some additional information on aldolase. Hope you feel better soon!
