    Am I pregnant?
    Hey! Someone please help I need advice! I had drunk sex one night... I don't remember if he used a condom or not... he says he doesn't know he was too drunk... he's an idiot... but he also said that he always uses one no matter what so hopefull he did! (I pray) 1 week later when I was due for my period, I got it! So I was happy! Then I realized it was only there for 4 days instead of my usual 5... is this normal? About 2 weeks later after my period was over... I am getting an on and off headache, gas pains, a little on the tired side,a little faint, nervous stomach, dry mouth,I also get naseau every once in a while and my head feels cloudy. I don't know if I am just making myself so nervous about this, that its causing these symptoms or what!
    But I am so scared and I don't know when to take a pregnancy test! I am due for my period again on April 4 and I ended my last period on March 12th. So I will be PMSing around the 21st of March and today is the 17th. I also drank a lot this past Tuesday and I am wondering if that just messed up my stomach or whatever... or maybe I just have anixiety over this for nothing and I am making myself sick like this! If someone could give me some good detailed advice id appreciate it :) I am 19 yrs old and going to school I can't afford to be pregnant! I need to know what is going on w. me!

    HELP!

    Thank you

    The first thing you need to understand is that anytime you have sex, protected or not, you run the risk of pregnancy.

    Second of all, if you did get your period, chances are you are not pregnant. It sounds as though you may have had a stomach virus.

    Third, when you take a pregnancy test you should take it after you are one week late for your period and then only use first morning urine.

    And, last, if you are pregnant, you should not be drinking. So, until you find out for sure, you should quit the drinking. It is not only dangerous to your health, but to that of the baby if indeed you are pregnant.

    Am I pregnant? 2
    Hello... I know I already wrote once but I wanted more advice so I am writing again. Here's my situation... I am getting pregnancy signs, but I already got my period 1 week after I had unprotected sex. I finished by period and then began having symptoms such as, on and off headaches, gas pains, crampy, shaky (esp at nite), sometimes naseous and dizzy, ovulation, breast soreness on occasion, weak and fatigue, soreness in back of neck and sadness. I don't know if I am just depressed or nervous or sick or what. All these signs kind of come and go though, that's why I am so worried. I mean I am in college maybe it's a virus, but its just so weird like I'm not real sick, but I don't feel myself... I am due on April 4th again for my period... do you think I can be pregnant or am I stressing over nothing? Someone please give me advice and let me know what they think about my situation and the way I am feeling.
    I took a pregnancy test and it came back negative but I thinks its because I didn't wait until I missed my period so it didn't work rite. Anyway I might go to the doctor and get a blood test done. I don't want my parents finding our though and I wonder how much it will cost me w. my insurance and will my doctor tell my parents. Ohh boy. So nervous and stressed
    Please help

    Okay, after knowing your last post, I still maintian that it sounds like a stomach flu. The flu has a lot of the symptoms you are complaining about. Also you mention that you have the pregnancy symptom of "ovulation." Ovulation is not a symptom of pregnancy, rather we women do that every month. That is when the egg is released in order to be fertalized.

    While a blood test would be good, it still may be too early to tell if in fact you are pregnant.

    How much will it cost with your insurance? I haven't a clue because all insurances are different, and I don't know your policy.

    Will the doctor tell your parents? No, this is against the law. It is called doctor-patient privilege. Your doctor cannot disclose any information to anyone without your written consent.

    Ok, I really hope you are right! From some reason I really trust you. Haha. Right now I need all the help I can get. My gas pains have gone away which is good and I will go to the doctors sometime this week maybe if these symptoms continue.

    Am I pregnant 3
    Hello again, this is my 3rd time writing... I have had this headache and cloudiness and sadness for four days. Of course I am still afraid I am pregnant. UGH this is so annoying... I am calling the doctor tomorrow to see if I am pregnant hopefully I can gey an appointment for tues because I have too many classes tomorrow :( anyway I have a complete loss of appetite, fatigue at times, constant head pressure and I'm just not as happy as I usually am, sometimes I want to sit and cry. My gas pains are gone and I am crampy every once in a while for only a few seconds... I am due for my period on April 4th,, could this just be pmsing signs? Or is it too early? And I never get it this badly... if I go to the doctor should I mention that I think I'm pregnant or give him my symptoms and see what he says? And if he doesn't say anything about then ill mention it... I don't know what to do... this is all just so weird for me, I've never felt like this... Like I am able to go out and do stuff, I am not completely sick, but yet I just do not feel rite... I am just sad... Also if I were almost 4 weeks pregnant would the signs be like this? They aren't unbearable but just annoying and I don't know what's up...

    More suggestions will help I appreciate it so much :)

    Thank you and sorry for all the questionssss. Lol...

    As I said before, you sound like you have the stomach flu, it is going around. Although since you did have sex, pregnancy is always a possibility.

    When you go to the doctor you do need to mention that you think you may be pregnant, otherwise he will not look for it. He NEEDS to know that is why you are there.

    Will a pregnancy test cost me money extra money at the doctor? Or will it be part of the visit? Because I am going to have to lie to my parents about this whole thing... and tell her he said I am sick or whatever... like it won't show up on the insurance bill that they have me a pregnancy test will it? Because then I am screwed... I won't be able to get it.. telling my parents is just not even an option.

    I don't know if it will show up on you insurance... but it will cost more beucase you are getting blood work done. I also think that you should let your parents know what you are feeling and what you expect. Keep me posted.

    Sweetie RELAX.. its OK.. If u think you are pregnant there is other options you can do about the test you could always buy a home pregnancy test for about 6.00.Hopefully you aren't pregnant because you seem young and I know you are afraid to tell your parents.However if you are pregnant you need to tell your family.If you need someone to talk to you are more then welcome to email me lalafromjerz at yahoo.com

    Do you have a community health clinic or birthchoice? They will give you a pregancny test for free, and also it will be kept confidential... it also will be a blood test.
    About your parents knowing... you think that they will freak out, but after the shock.. if they are good parents and love you they will be there for you. You shoudn't have to go through this scare alone. I hope that you learned a valuable lesson from this experence that sex has consequences. If you need to talk or vent. I am here. I have been pregnant and I have a child... don't go through this alone. I know it can be a scary thing.

    Am I pregnant 4!
    Ok, so those of you who have read my past posts:

    I am feeling better today, I haven't had any headaches, my spirit are better I am a little happier. However I am still ovulating and still have some gas pains, but less than other days... I had some diarehha (cant spell) this afternoon which was weird, my stomach felt funny at that point... last night I woke up around 3am and felt shaky and nervous and faint and weird... this might be because I went to bed hungry... I don't know... I ate my first good meal today and feel more like myself... Although at night I tend to feel more stomach pain then in the day as far as crampiness goes... Could I still be pregnant? Because everyday you feel different right? Like some days are worse than others? Well ill have to see how I feel tomorrow. I am due for my period April 4th... could I getting pmsing signs this early for my period? Let me know... should I take another pregnancy test? And when? I am still very nervous and never want to have sex until I'm 35 haha. Oh geez. HeLp.

    Thank you all so much.

    Well you can always carry the baby to term and then put it up for adoption.
