Pregnancy Info HOME

I'm 17 and im just finishing up my senior year. Theres going to be a lot, so bear with me: I finished up my period about 2 weeks ago, but a few days after, I started to feel cramping again along w/ some extreme moodiness- at least, according to my bf of 2 years. Still in the first week after my period, I could tell he started to get worried, saying that i've been really sensitive lately and he doesnt know why I'm so moody. So, to try and ease him, I told him that Im probably just having post pms instead of having it prior to my period (but the truth is that I had little pms before and during too), but its at least 2 weeks after i finished my period and Im still having some cramping that comes and goes throughout the day & I'm still just as moody (if not more), and just as irritable, and emotional(i've even cried). Not to mention, I've been getting tired during the day, and wanting to sleep earlier each night. Also,I get headaches that throb instead of them just being muscle headaches and have been a little backed up at times (i know, too much info.) Although, even more recently (mainly in the evening) I feel a sort of a rush of vibrations around my abdomen and inner theighs along with some bloating, bubbles, muscle twitches... The only noticable back pain I get is when im at school, but i just blame it on my bag, which is always just as heavy, which has never bothered me before... I tried just summing up all my symptoms as my mind is just playing tricks on me or just any other excuse I could find(being dehydrated, P.E., gas, anything) but sometimes, it just seems like the possibility that i could actually be pregnant is still a factor and that i shouldnt just simply brush it off. Also, I am on the pill. But I've been on it for around 3 years, maybe less.. and sometimes I slip and forget to take a pill, and have to play catch up. My boyfriend and I dont use condoms, cuz they irritate me down there, and give me uti's. But he does finish inside me, so thats why im concerned. I know the pill can give a girl side effects, but I've been on it for so long that these seem a little abnormal to me. Oh, and I forgot to mention a couple minor things, for the last week, my discharge has changed. it usually is really light and i dont usually feel it. but for the last week, the amount of it is larger so that i do feel it. And when i go to the bathroom, the clear fluid wets my panties, and the white discharge is thicker. And before i would eat the school food, and now I much rather not. Like, i've attempted, just to put something in my stomach, but after a couple bites, i just stop saying that i cant do this. ...could it be??? Or is it all in my head?

Take a test, my dear, using first morning pee. You have a long string of signs - fatigue, cries for no reason, headaches, backaches, weird cramps, constipation, bloating, appet_te and favorite food changes, and lotion discharge. Missing are hot flashes, light-headed moments, vivid dreams, stuffy nose, more frequent peeing and probably a couple more. Was the last period lighter and shorter than usual?

D: Okay, I will. I'll go by the store today while my boyfriend is at work. I wanna keep this on the DL until i know for sure. Well my period did seem lighter, but wasnt shorter. And thats strange that you say vivd dreaming and light-headedness. My dreams are pretty vivid and just plain-weird normally, but they usually have a story-line, or some kind of plot behind them where, when things happen in them, there's a reason for it. But lately, i say for the last few nights, maybe more, they've been just out of the ordinary. And they don't really make sense. Kind of like, they're just scattered, or shooken up, so now they're just dreams full of randomness. Is that what you mean? I have been light-headed at times. But I never really thought of that as anything. When that happens, i usually just think its from getting up too fast or because I need water or an apple or just take a breather. My nose has been itchy :/ and sometimes stuffy. I have to clean my nose more often now... What about smell? Im not really sure about this one, but yesterday, smells seemed like they stood out a little more than usual. Like I rolled down the windows more in the car when my bf was smoking. And when I came home, the smell of dinner was too strong for me. But while i was in my room, I could still smell it.

Yep, smells can come over different. Smoke and perfume are often turn-offs, cooking meat also, and even urine can smell different (maybe it really does?). Let us know how the test goes. GL!
