I'm 21 and trying to conceive. I don't know for sure what day it was when I ovulated but two Mondays ago I had two tiny little blood pieces and brown discharge but that was just that one day. I've had cramps now for 11 days in my back and lower abdomen, sore tingly nipples for 5days now, metallic taste in my mouth, excessive saliva, acne, head ache, and heartburn. I also turn red hot when I eat. Do you think I could be pregnant. I should've started my period on the 23rd and I never did. I've had neg. tests.

Hi, I'm very confused right now, so I need to ask for help. I do not want to put my age out there, but I'm just going to say I'm young. About 2/3 weeks ago, I stayed at my cousins house and he had his friend stay. Well, his friend and I decided to try a few things. I need help determining if I could possibly be pregnant. We fooled around a little bit and we started to have sex. When I was pleasuring him with my hand, my hand was getting wet, assuming it was precum. He started to stick it inside of me and when he just got the tip in, we were interrupted and had to stop. Now I've been feeling scared about maybe me being pregnant. My friends joked about it and now I'm worried. I was feeling a little nauseous last night and my stomach hasn't been feeling too good lately, and I've been having strange dreams of death and I read that its said that dreaming about death means somebody is pregnant. I just want to know what the possibilities are. Please help

Hi. I had a miscarriage back in January, almost 8 months ago now. My husband and I are wondering how long my periods should be irregular. I had one for a week or so after my miscarriage (10 weeks along) and again in March and one that lasted 22 days in June. We are trying to get pregnant again but I am worried that I Can't because we have been trying since. Anyone experience the same thing? Please and thank you
