Hello again... for those of you who have been reading my previous posts:

I am feeling better today, not much of a headache, but still some gas pains and my breasts are sore sometimes also fell dizzy at night every once and a while... I am also ovulating quite a bit and I am due for my period April 4th... maybe pre period pains?? My nose and throat are also starting to act up and mono and colds are going around my campus... Last night I woke up at 3am and had the shakes and felt faint and got real nervous and scared I felt like throwing up... I finally fell back to sleep an hr later... so I don't know what's going on! Ill have to wait and see if I get my period again in April. Oh I pray I do! This is too much for me. I hope this is just all going to end up being a head cold... I don't know. Thank you all, you are the best :)

I don't think you are pregnant. I think you have the flu.
I would be concerned, though, with the ovulation thing. Normally, you ovulate for a day or 2. It sounds like you may have discharge? Also, if you have had unprotected sex with someone you don't really know or care about - you might want to get a STD test.

As far as the insurance thing, it probably would not show up as a "pregnancy test" but as lab work. That can be easily explained. And don't feel like an idiot at your dr.'s visit - believe me they see and hear EVERYTHING! You are not the first to go through this and sadly, you won't be the last.

IF you are pregnant (which I highly doubt), abortion seems like a quick fix to a "problem" - but let me say, from experience, it is not! You will have to live with that decision for the rest of your life. When you are ready to have a family, you may not be able to and you will be haunted by your decision of giving up your child. I have been in your shoes, I had an abortion at 19 and never told my parents until it was to late. They were more upset that I felt I couldn't come to them. And, when a certain day rolls around each year, I wonder what might have been. I killed my child almost 15 years ago and I have lived to regret it - EVERYDAY! So abortion is not the quick fix that so many think it is. And, if you don't want to be a parent yet, that is o.k. there a lots of couples out there that can not have kids naturally, You could have the power to make someone else's dream come true.

What are other symptoms of an STD? I mean I don't think he has a diseasee... but I mean I could be wrong.. lol...

Thank you for your answer... I called the doctor today but couldn't get an appointment w. classes and all maybe tomorrow or later this week...

There are many different STDs, some with symptoms and some asymptomatic (no symptoms).

You don't think he has a disease, but how well do you know him anyway?

Just get into the doc as soon as you can. But if it is an STD, it is nothing to fool around with. Many can be cured with a round of antibiotics.

Again, sounds like you have the flu.

You should do some research.
I did a search on std symptoms - here is what I found:
Genital Herpes
Small red bumps, blisters, or open sores on the penis, vagina, or areas close by. Also, vaginal discharge in women. Fever, headache, and muscle aches. Pain when urinating. Itching, burning, or swollen glands in genital area. Pain in legs, buttocks, or genital area. Symptoms may go away and then come back. Some people may have no symptoms. There is no cure. Treatment includes taking a medicine to lower severity of symptoms.

Hepatitis B
Mild fever. Headache and muscle aches, joint pain. Tiredness. Loss of appetite. Nausea and vomiting. Dark-colored urine and pale bowel movements. Stomach pain. Skin and whites of eyes turning yellow (jaundice). About 30% of people have no symptoms. Treatment includes taking a medicine to help the liver fight damage from the virus. There are medications available to treat long-lasting (chronic) HBV-infection. These work for some people, but there is no cure for hepatitis B when you first get it.
Fortunately, routine immunization of all children with the Hepatitis B vaccine will hopefully eliminate future Hepatitis B infections.

I just copied over the two that have some of the same symptoms you have. Don't get freaked out. But, you can not always tell by just the way someone looks whether they have a std.
I hope you get to see your doctor soon. I know you said you were in school (college?) do they have a clinic you can go to? I am sure they see things like this all the time.

Hello... I had a friend in college who needed a pregnancy test and went to planned parenthood for a free test. Check your yellowpages and call them. They might even do a series STD tests. Hope all goes well for you!

Ohh geez... I actually feel a little better today... its kind of odd, I feel sick only at certain times... like this morning I felt like I was getting a cold, sneezing, some chest pains and headache and now I am fine, I just have more gas pains... its like everything time I freakin eat I get pains... its ridiculous. I drank a little bit today because I felt the need to stop worrying for a little bit and relax and this is how I did it... I didn't have much, but enough... when my friends are w. me I'm OK I feel better... lol, but when I am in class or sitting around this is all I think about. Lol... I think I will try and get to the doctor tomorrow if possible. Its so hard for me to get out I never have time during the day,, but I have to find out what is up w. me...

Thank you all once again,,

Peace

You should find other ways to relax. Esp. if you are pregnant. You don't want to take chances with your possible babies health, just because drinking is the way you relax. I hope that you get to the doctor soon, and find out what is going on. You can never be too careful when it comes to your health(or your babies, if you are pregnant) Try yoga, or getting some sort of exercise. That always helps me to relax, and its good for you too.

Thank you... I am going to the doctor today at 2:00. I do not know if they will give me a blood test because I didn't ask for one over the phone when I made the appointment... so I don't know? I just told them I had stomach pains and what not... we'll see what happensss.

Good luck, glad you are getting in to the doc so you can get some answers. You can always mention the test to them during your appointment, they might already want to order one. Just make sure you don't leave with out answers to your questions. Let us know how it goes.

OK so I went to this Indian doctor and she was so nicee. She suggested I am probably not pregnant but ran my urine and took blood. The urine came back negative. Worddd. So she asked if I used protection, I really don't knoww,, maybe?. lol.. so she suggested I have a clamydia and gonareeha (however you spell them) test. So annoying... because NOW it is all most likely showing up on my insurance... all the tests I had done... the pregnancy I can get out of though because the doctor said she basically has to give me one no matter what because I had abdomial pains so whateverrr, but the in gonareeah and clamydia one... jesus christ what the hell am I going to tell my mom about that... anyone have any good lies I can tell my parents... because I'm DEF. NOT telling them I thought I was pregnant and I've had sex and all... no way. So if you have any suggestions... I shjould have my test results back tomorrow or Friday. Anyway thank you all for your help and support... I havhe to run to class I will talk more laterr

Like I said before, more than likely the only thing that will show on the insurance is lab work. I have had to have lots of different kinds of test taken and when I get my benefits explanation from insurance - it just says lab work. Even if I have had mammograms - they just leave it at x-rays. So, I don't think you need to worry about that. They never get real specific.
And, if it comes up with your parents - don't lie. Just be honest, because once you starting lying, you have to keep up with those lies and they have a tendency to spiral out of control.

The only thing is the lady at the doctors office told me they will probably list what tests I had... because my insurance is blue cross blue shield.. I guess all the insurances may be different.. I'm about to call my mom now and tell her the doctor made me take all these tests and I had no choice.. whatever.. lol I know my mom will start freaking out. OK well wish me luck :)

Does your mom still think you are a virgin? IF not, then it is the responsible thing to do - to make sure you are protected. You are an adult now, in college, she can't think that you haven't experimented. By doing these test, you are protecting yourself. Hopefully she can understand that.
BTW - I have the same insurance - maybe (?) what the dr. was referring to is listing the test to the insurance. But, when you/your parents get the benefits explanation in the mail from the insurance - it should just say labs. Maybe? Now, if the insurance doesn't cover it all and the dr. has to bill you - then the dr. bill will have what you had done listed.

If this should happen to you again - you might want to think about planned parenthood. They do these kinds of things and it is either free or extremely low cost. This way, it takes the stress of having to explain things to the parents out of the situation.

Thanks so much... yes my parents do think I'm a virgin :/ that was the whole thing... lol... but I think she understood I made up some good lie.. lol.. she would never ever imagine that I would go have sex esp if I didn't have a BF...

blood work = negative :) you were all right! Thank you alllll soooo much once again... the only problem now is that I still have pains in my stomach! The doctor told me no dairy, but I mean that's kind of hard since I am here at college and stuff... there is ike nothing to eat. And my schedule is so busy that I can never eat good meals... lol but as long as I'm not pregnant I'm good! The doctor is still running the STD tests and some other ones but I'm sure those should be OK...

thanks again!

Hello. My first suggestion is you have to stop drinking! Pregnant or not, it is NEVER a good situation when drinking results in "unclear memories".
Ok, now for an answer. (Just to let you know, I am currently 26 weeks pregnant with my third child, so I am somewhat experienced in the matter.)
First, the good news. If you had sex one week before your period, you were probably not ovulating, and therefore you are probably not pregnant, as your most fertile time is actually the middle week of your cycle (about two weeks before your period).
Now the bad news; just because you got your first period after sex, it doesn't mean you're not pregnant, especially if that period was lighter and/or shorter than usual. You can get pregnant outside that two-week "window" if you're very fertile. This pregnancy was a surprise for my husband and I. We had sex a week after my period - also a time that's low-chance for ovulation - and didn't think we needed a condom, yet, here we are with an unplanned pregnancy.
So, what to do? Unfortunately, there's not much you can do at this point. Pregnancy tests are not accurate until you're due for your next period. If you are even one day late, take a home test (they are over 99% accurate). If it's positive, make an appointment immediately to see your dr to have them confirm it. I have friends who took the pregnancy test too early, including a blood test, which came back negative even when they were actually pregnant, and all that does is give a false sense of security. So, as difficult as it is, you'll have to wait until your scheduled period to know for sure. At the same time, try not to get too worried about it, because stress could cause your period to come late, causing even more unnecessary worry.
One last comment; if it turns out that you ARE pregnant, and you've had one or two drinking binges before you realized it, try not to worry. When I was about 3.5 weeks pregnant with my first, I didn't know it and had a LOT to drink at a friends wedding. My daughter is now seven and she never had any adverse effects from it, even pre-birth and infancy. But if you are pregnant, you must stop drinking because the older the fetus gets, the more it will be effected by alcohol.
I hope this helps; keep a watchful eye, and use your body as your guide. Go by your period; if you get another one, you are not pregnant. If you are two weeks late for your next one, you probably are pregnant, even if the tests say you're not. (But, if you go two weeks past your period date and the tests still say you are not pregnant, see your dr because there may be something else wrong... )
Good luck!

Yeeaa thanks so much. I just got my period again but it is like 3 days early? And my blood test came back negative... what could be wrong?

It's normal to get your period early or even a little late. I wouldn't worry about it.

Hi,
It sure sounds like you are not pregnant. You can relax.
