So I don't know what the deal is, because some signs of Anemia are similar to signs of pregnancy.

I have sore breasts. I haven't started my period yet, but it's irregular so it may be too early to tell. I feel sharp pains near my uterus. (could be a cyst, I hope not)
I'm constantly physically exhausted, and all I want to do is lay down. (but I've had that all summer, and I haven't missed my last 3 periods)
Last week I was constipated, but that could have been from lack of fiber in my diet.
I took a pregnancy test a few days ago, and it came back negative, but I think it may be too soon to actually tell.
Also, I've had some tension headaches.


Any advice?

Also, I want to add that I've been urinating more than normal. And The past 2 days, I've felt queasy after I eat.

Any clues?

Can you fill me in on what the common symptoms are of anemia and pregnancy are besides lethargy?

Since your periods are so irregular have you tried a blood test? Also, is it possible you have a flu?

Funny story, is I actually started my period this morning. SOOO anyway.

TThere's not always a lot of food in my house, because my brother eats everything. Not even joking. So I don't always eat as much as I should. In fact, I almost never do.
I'm five foot two and about 110 lBS. So I'm pretty thin.


Sometimes I get tension headaches headaches. If I walk around for about an hour, sometimes, my body gets very tired and all I can think about is where I can sit down. And I get sharp pains in certain parts of my abdomen and ribs mostly, like when one exercises TOO MUCH. And sometimes when I eat my stomach feels queasy.

I looked up anemia yesterday and some of these symptoms were caused by it. I don't really remember which ones. ANd if it's not anemia, I think it's probably some other sort of vitamin deficiency, do to my unsatisfactory diet.

Well If I were you (and I have a lot of the same symptoms) what I would do is eat a bit more, and moniter what food you are eating, like you said it could be a deficiency due to a poor diet,
Also, visit a doctor, if you can, chances are it probably won't be too serious but you never know if not eating right can cause some seriously bad consequences, ( at least I don't, I'm not a nurse yet! ^_^)

Yeah I started taking a vitamin B complex and I've noticed a considerable increase in energy, as well as my body is feeling better.
