AM I PREGNANT

Hello I just turned 20 at the beginning of August and I am on the pill along with my boyfriend using condoms when having sex... along with the pull out method... (I know that is not a form of birth control)... I did have what I think was my period the day it was due however it was not the same as most. Usually I am pretty heavy and it lasts for about 4 or 5 days however this one was a bit different it started by spotting that barely went on the pad... and then the next day it was heavy like normal I went through a pad and tampon that day... however the bleeding stopped for a while when I took out the tampon and started again that night... blood filled up another pad but it wasn't all that heavy... and the day after it was a brown discharge like how a period would end... however now a few weeks after my period I was sick for the past 3 days and have a slight pain in my left back side in the flank area where it hurt when I had a kidney infection before (just started today)... I was using the bathroom more often before and it was a bright yellow and cloudy with a weird smell (I don't really drink water so it is usually pretty yellow) and I had to go to the bathroom quite often for the past few weeks but now I go normally now... I have no other signs of pregnancy... my breasts are normal and everything else no headaches or anything... I am just worried because my dad keeps telling me that I am pregnant and I just want some reassurance... I plan on getting a HPT (home pregnancy test) sometime very soon just to make sure... this is my first pregnancy scare EVER since I juststarted having sex a few months ago... also I was looking at what could cause an irregualr period and I was going through more stress than normal and my diet has really changed... more poorly for sure more fast food or not eating in general... it is also a very hot few days and I am very sensitive to heat where I can't blow dry my hair right after I get out of the shower or I get sick... so maybe that could be causing me to be sick... I took a few questionaires online and they all said it is unlikely I am pregnant but I just want someone else's advice... sorry about the long note I just write or talk a lot when I get nervous.

Well, I can say one thing for sure, you are definitely more educated on this than most of the "Am I pregnant?" posts here.

Do you mean he uses a condom OR pulls out, or uses a condom AND pulls out?

But, given what you have posted, I would have to say I would agree with the other online tests you have taken, and are most likely not pregnant. Still, it couldn't hurt to take a HPT and see.

Thank you and yes he uses a condom and pulls out... and none of the condoms broke... well one did but he replaced it before we even had sex... I wouldn't have it any other way I even made him wait until I was one month on the pill to even have sex with him I don't want to take any chances I am actually thinking of not having sex anymore until marriage... I really hate to live through scares every month lol

So an update... I still have that pain in my left flank where it was a kidney infection before... I go to the washroom a regular amount of times through out the day well a little bit more since I have been drinking a lot more water... but when I urinate there is a slight burn feeling to it and it is really warm too... and since I drank the water the urine is a normal clear color and no real smell to it however I am still a little worried not going to lie even though I am starting to think it is something to do with my kidney again... and when I lift my left leg my left side hurts more than usual... also I am not actually vomiting... I kind of made myself vomit a few times so the pain in my stomach would go away... I also tapped where the pain was (roughly where the kidney is) and it hurt even more making my stomach turn... I am making a doctor's appointment very very soon when I get off work today or tomorrow (I am currently on lunch) but yes and there are still no other signs of pregnancy breast still normal and no headaches or an increase in nose bleeds or blood from the gums when brushing my teeth... I think the off period was from the pill since I was on it then off it for a few months and was on it again for 3 months so far and it is one of the side effects and says not to worry unless it happened 2 months in a row so I think I am good I am still going to get a HPT though just to be safe.

OK so tofay I am not really sick anymore at all my stomach is normal a little bit of a turn to it after I ate some fruit and what not this morning but nothing really severe... I still have some pain in my back side whenever I move a certain way... other than that it is perfectly fine... even though I know I am not pregnant because well I have no symptoms at all I am still going to be nervous until my next period starts in 2 weeks and a few days according to my pills... hopefully I am not after this scare I realized I am not ready for a child... mentally, or even financially... me and my boyfriend stopped having sex as well since well the pill is less effective if you vomit or take anything like tylenol.

Glad to hear you are getting a doctor's appointment.

Also, VERY glad to hear that you have realized how unprepared for a child you are. Not only for your sake, or your boyfriend's sake, but for the child. No good can come of an unwanted child.

Thank you for being attentive to these things, too many people go without taking the precautions they need, it's sad.

SO UPDATE PEOPLE I went to the ER today after lunch because I found it very difficult getting in and out of my car my left flank area was killing me every time I mived and working as a mechanic it didn't help... so anywyas I went to the ER and told them that I think I have a UTI (Urinary Tract Infection) and possibloy a kidney infection... well I was right I had a UTI but not a kidney infection (however it was possible if I didn't go to them)... so that is my update I am not pregnant... however these antibiotics that I am on affect the pill so it doesn't really work so no sex for me until I am done my antibiotics and take a month worth of pills... the boyfriend won't really like it but he will support me on it and agree

Thank you helpinhere you really eased my mind when I was freaking a little out

OK so I still think I may have something wrong with me like it isn't even fit... I am not pooping and wasn;t for a while... maybe a month I had little poops here and there and diarreah once during that time but nothing normal I also took a laxative (mineral oil)... and the doctor perscribed me Apo-Slufatrim DS 800/160mg for the UTI I have... which you are not suppose to take when you are pregnant... which well they told me that I was more than likely not pregnant so they put me on them... however today I have had a period like cramp and when I went to the bathroom I peed and then whiped and there was a light brown discharge and a bit of a light red blood but not a lot... I do not start my period until next week according to the birth control pill... I have no appatite at all like I do not want to eat or get hungry... something is wrong with me and I really would like to know what... I really hope I am not pregnant... the Apo-Sulfatrim DS 800/160mg is not for when you are pregnant it can cause bone defects and high risk or losing the baby I think... a class C risk... I have no idea what that means., SOMEONE PLEASE HELP
