About 2 weeks ago my boyfriend's condom broke, and since about a week ago my stomach's been cramping really bad, i been really tired, and i eat a lot more than usually. About 5 days ago when I been going to the bathroom When I wipe it's been a brownish discharge. And I was woundering what could it be? I dont even know if im pregnet yet!

But could it be from stress?

You should get a hpt and take a test to be sure. Now, remember to use first morning urine and also know that sometimes these tests give false negatives. The only positive test is a blood test.

You probably should make an appointment with your doctor to make sure you are healthy and everything is okay.

Well i already made a appointment with my Gyno dec 12. So hopefully I can find something out!

Thanks for the addvice. I dont smoke or drink anyways. so that isnt a big deal... Is one a day a multivitamin? And could the dischrage be from stress?

Yes, one-a-day is a multivitamin, look on the label, I don't have one here, and make sure it has folic acid (I am pretty sure it does, but just to be safe) Another way to add to the folic acid is drink orange juice.

Yes, the spotting can be from stress or even just your young age.

I don't want to sound rude or harsh here, but if you are having sex and are not ready for a child, then yes, you should be nervous.

I was on the pill, I took it at the same time every day. Never missed one. I have a 20 year old son and an 18 year old son.

So, the only way not to get pregnant is not to have sex. Just be more careful, K!!
