Hi I have been wondering if its normal to have a white discharge then a couple days later have spotting with no other color or gooey discharge I have missed my period but my period is irregular but has been normal for the past couple of months I dont have the money to go to the doctor unless I am for sure. I have been spotting, having back pain, feeling nauseous, and feeliing tired all the time sometimes I just dont want to eat and sometimes I cant stop eating and my stomach feels heavy but not hard. What should I assume?
hii ! my name is nena,im sixteen and ithink im pregnant.ihave unprotected sex with my boyfriend and inever know if im pregnant because ihave irregular periods.should i get a test?
I have been using an ovulation kit to try to conceive with my boyfriend. On a moment of weakness unfortunately I had relations with my ex, however there was no full intercourse, he gave me oral sex but penetrated me with his fingers. Since he was naked, I'm going through the dilemma of what his precum could have gotten me pregnant. I am pregnant, but I feel terrible on having doubts on who may be the father. Is there any possibility that he could have gotten me pregnant if his precum got inside me with his fingers or through rubbing? The first day of my last period was the 9th. I was with my ex on the 17 but the ovulation kit was not positive until the 21st. My periods are usually between 25 and 29 days. Could the ovulation kit be wrong or could the precum live enough inside me to get me pregnant by the time I supposedly was ovulating? Please help!!!!
well Guess what im having massive contractions and i don't know what to do, my boyfriend is out shoping with his mum and i cant move.... :'(... i hate it here...!!! there is no mobile near me and no home phone what do i do??
