I had been abstaining from s_x for about a year and a half until I decided to sleep with someone again on June 25th. We did not use protection (shame on me, I know) but he pulled out. Now, I got my "period" (?) later that week (it was early). The first day (or so I considered it because I had light pinkish blood when I wiped) was flow free. I didn't bleed until later the next night (so basically a day and a half) and even then it was more of spotting. On that second day I also had some cramps, not as severe as usual. I don't remember if that third day had more consistent bleeding, but the fourth did, just lighter than usual. And then I had brown spotting the last day. Basically, I'm not sure that was a period.
I've been getting headaches, there was a full 36hrs I was dizzy, I still get dizzy on random days, I've been extremely tired (don't know if it is coincidence since I've been really busy). I haven't been eating too well and I've been stressed so I'm thinking it could be that. I've also felt cramping on random days or just pain (tolerable but noticeable), I've been constipated and kind of depressed too. I've started breaking out on my upper back and on my chest (maybe this is because of a change in products??). I usually break out on my jawline, but that's cleared up and my forehead's broken out. I want to take a test, but I read somewhere that you can get a false positive if there is urine in your blood and I am going through the same "is it spotting or my period thing" again right now. It's happening the same way as described above and was five days early this time if I count last time as a period. My sister thinks I'm pregnant, but I don't think so. I'm trying to make an appt at the doctor this week because I have been feeling pretty sh*tty and am planning to take a pregnancy test before I go.
Background: My cycle is pretty normal and consistent every month. Same symptoms on the same day of my cycle, same flow (medium heaviness and red), everything. At my physical a few months ago the doctor told me I was at 102 lbs, the lightest I've been in yrs (I am 5'3 ish and usually fluctuate between 103-106), but at this time and for months after, my period was normal (don't know if I had gained weight back in between, I don't weigh myself ever). I also have always suffered from random dizzy spells and sometimes feeling nauseous (basically it'd be hard to tell if I were dizzy and nauseous because I'm sick or because that's just me).
I personally don't think I am pregnant and believe this could be happening due to some weight issues. Although I don't think I am pregnant, I can't help but think about it everyday (if that makes any sense). But because I can't get the thought out of my head I'm starting to wonder if it is my body telling me something, or if it's guilt, or if I am lying to myself and really do think there is a chance I am.
I am basically wondering if anyone who was/is pregnant started out with similar symptoms and maybe had something very similar to a period. It would be even more helpful if maybe someone had a similar weight issue going on at the time (just so that I could eliminate that as a possibility), but any advice or experiences you ladies are willing to share would be of great help and much appreciated.
Thank you, all, and I'm sorry this was long.
