pregnant? i think so :/ please help!
i posted this already a couple days ago but i only got one response so i'm trying another forum.
Ok this will probably be long but im worried. today i went to get my prescription and the pharmacist told me one of my medicines interacts with my birth control...i've been on both for over a year and they just now told me. me and my 'partner' use condoms but it could have failed or prec*m..i dont even know. but ill give you dates and info. it's a good thing i wrote down dates of when we did it..probably for this reason.
-period started 1/23/12 ended the 26th or 27th
-28th, 29th, and 30th we did it.
-9th, 12th, 13th, 16th we did it.
-2/20/12 i was due for my period but i think it started tuesday(the 21st)
i was on february vacation and at my brothers all last week-when i was due-and i remember monday not getting it and then tuesday i started very light but it looked weird but i was relieved..but only a day or 2 i can even call light....the rest of the week was only when i wiped i might have a tiny light pink streak with a lot of mucus or something. over the course of the entire week (my period usually runs monday to friday) i accumulated enough blood-between panty liners(not even pads!) and wiping- wouldn't even fill 1 panty liner. usually i start slightly light but over the first day, second at most, i need a pad and it gets heavier. im on apri birth control so my period is exact every single month and my period is never weird. but then theres this month. once it was friday night and i still hadnt gotten my period i started stressing...i did end up telling him and hes scared. i think i might be preg, but i told him i'm not sure and i don't think its likely..because i thought he was going to stress out big time so i wanted to spare him the stress. i felt pretty confident that something wasn't right so as scared as i was, i told him. we're only 16 so i was scared he'd stop talking to me but hes being decent. we aren't dating but we're friends and we've liked each other a long time. i dont want to tell my mom unless i have to, if i'm sure i'm pregnant. i don't really have money and neither does he. my friend said she'd go with my to buy a test and lend me the money, but i don't want to buy one if i don't think there's an extremely high chance because once again, the money issue :/ . i've been losing weight, but it seems to have stopped. i haven't gained any weight i don't think, but i feel really bloated. i'm getting headaches every day for the past 4-5 days. i've been really dizzy for a couple weeks. since maybe sunday (2/26) i've been so nauseous it's not even funny. my friends were joking around at lunch and it wasn't even something that would normally turn my stomach and i literally almost threw up..the same thing happend on the bus coming home but it wasn't from something gross, it was just....out of nowhere i guess. i'm so tired if i could sleep all day and night i would...all week at my brothers house i slept until 10-11am :/. im so moody it's HORRIBLE. one second im happy, the next im pissed. im getting pissed so easily. im crying so easily. im having cramps i guess you can call them and ive noticed im having a small pain in the middle of my abdomen right above my pelvis(i dont know how to describe it) and to the right..all down by where your underwear would be, maybe a tiny bit above. im having heartburn (yesterday and today) which is unusual for me. my mouth has a i dont even know what kind of taste..but its weird and annoying..i brush my teeth and it's back in a half hour to an hour max...and i scrub my teeth and tongue etc to get rid of it. i mentioned getting dizzy...if i move too quick, or im bending down and stand up, or i get out of bed or a chair, i get really dizzy and lightheaded....and that doesn't happen very much usually. usually it happens if its extreme, but not the tiniest movements. im peeing a lot more..and its hard to go all the time because the teachers are such d**ks -.- last night i went pee at 11pm with a full bladder and an hour later i was running back to the toilet...yet another full bladder. im trying to eat but i dont have a huge appetite anymore to begin with, and nausea doesn't help. i get hungry and try to eat but i feel sooo nauseous.
i took sex ed but i dont know much about pregnancy or the symptoms. i also dont understand that much about when your fertile and ovulating so if someone can explain that, itd be great. i dont know but i think the dates match up enough that i could have gotten pregnant. according to the internet, it takes 6-12 days for implantation. my period was due 11, 8, and 7 days after i had sex. i downloaded an app called 'my days' and it says i was most fertile 2/1-2/5 and ovulating the 6th. i know sperm can live up to 3-5 days, and i had sex 2 days before the 1st. how high are the chances that im pregnant? id appreciate any help and advice anyone's willing to give me..so please help!
update: i keep almost throwing up, my nausea's getting worse and worse. right now, the thought of some of my favorite foods make me sick and i'm having burgers more often...last week almost every night we went out for dinner, i got a burger. i usually don't do that...atleast not this much. i absolutly love mountain dew, and it tastes weird right now. my taste buds are being weird. i mentioned it to 'him'(his names patrick...i call him pat) and he said he thinks im preg. hes probably remembering everything i say and putting it together- the extreme fatigue, nausea, headaches, moodiness, etc. he's scared but he's trying to be a man. i have absolutely no energy. i dont like having a messy room...since i came home i havent cleaned or put stuff away and thats not like me. im not sleeping well-worse than the usual crappy nights of sleep. i can't get comfortable. my boobs dont hurt but my stomach feels too...weird i guess. my lower back hurts more than usual. i have a cat that sleeps with me at night and she always comes up and lays on my stomach/chest...i just cant take it right now because my stomach is too whatever it is. sensitive? sore? crampy? bloated? i cant explain it. we had a snow day today so no school...i tried to go back to sleep at 6, i was tired enough, but i couldnt get comfortable. im dizzy just sitting here... i just got on my laptop 10 minutes ago so i know its not because of the screen. the list is close to endless.

hey..I didn't see your comment until today.
what ever happened? are you pregnant?
what ever happened? are you pregnant?
Dangit..I thought my last post didn't show so I just retyped one and it was better..and it went to the log in page and I lost it. Ugh! Oh well. The last one i think i forgot to put your username in the "to:" cuz I was so tired so if not can you just read my last comment? Can you message me?
Yeah I read that too but there was a small line still when I took it but u can barely see it, you see it best up to the light. I will get another one in a few days though, and well I have masshealth(my medical bills are paid for by the state) but I'm afraid if I go to my doctor that they'll tell my mom :/ and I dont want to tell her until I'm sure. Yeah I thought about dollar store tests..theres one kinda near me but it'd be hard to get there without telling mom where I'm going and twlling her what I'm getting because she will ask what's so important your walking alm the way there(its like 2-3 miles from my house)
they say that the tests are usually invalid after 10 minutes...wait a few days and test again. I think you should just go to the drs and get a blood test and find out for sure. (i'm not sure if you have to pay to go to the drs...here in Canada we have free healthcare)...but I was reading that if you're desperate and you don't want to waste lots of money, the dollar store brand isn't too too bad.
well, i took a test today. i went in rite aid with my friend and she said buy a good brand and if i need more money she will help me pay for it. i bought 'Rite Aid One Step Pregnancy Test - Easy To Use One Test' and we went across the street into pizza chef and i used the bathroom while we waited for our food and took it. the negative line came up right away..but i couldn't help but think there was a line. i did keep the test to refer back to. we thought about going to get another test but i told her i'll wait like a week to see if i get my period because i dont want to waste my monthly allowance, i only got $20 and that was almost $10. i just put it up to the light and i swear to god theres this very faint extremely thin line..i dont think im imagining it although its so faint and thin that i thought at first that i could be. how often does this happen (so faint and thin lines) and it actually turning out to be a positive result?

Whether I keep it or not, if I gave it up for adoption id be happy to know I made someones wish to be a parent come true. So it'd be hard but id be happy about that. I'm not sure if keeping it would be best for me him or the baby so ill have to think hard and do what I think is best. Yeah my sister-in-law had that too.
Yeah I wish someone had told me -.- my doctors a ****. Whether I keep it or not, if I gave it up for adoption id be happy to know I made someones wish to be a parent come true. So it'd be hard but id be happy about that.
you have lots of options if you are sweety. I got pregnant at 19 accidently and decided that for me it wasn't the right time and I moved on with my life. Me and my ex would have never made it and I knew it.
When I was 21 I met who will be my husband and now I'm 33, we've been married for 9 years and have a beautiful child.
So basically, you need to do what's right for you....no judgement.

hey...yes there are certain meds that will cancel out your birth control... the worst one is an anitbiotic!! I know..lol...got pregnant while taking both but did not know at the time...sorry if its unwanted but congrats if it is:)
Thank you for posting..past few days I've gotten just 2 responses..u and 1 other. Yeah I figured the time matched. I'm convinced I am preg, I kinda fell it. Your right, its very hard to wait. I was due feb 20th so its been almost 2 weeks. My friends going to lend me the money for a test and go with mee to get it Saturday. I'm only 16 so I'm not really ready for a baby but I still feel like I am so itll probably still be depressing if Its a negative result since Ive gotten used to the idea of being preg. I will keep u posted and thank u again.
It sounds like the chances are very good...the timing seems to work so of course you can be pregnant. you should wait about a week until after you've missed your period so that you are not confused by any negative results which is very disheartening.(but it's very hard to wait..I know)
so...the only thing that will give you a definite answer is a test.
good luck and keep me posted...I will very happy for you !
