well I'm 17 about to graduate high school
in June and scared to death I might be
pregnant. What's started me to question
it is I messed up on my birthcontrol a
while back but figured I was going to be
ok and just continued it as if nothing
happened, along with continuing the sex.
Me and my boyfriend have been together
for...gah honeslty I'm not even sure, over
a year I know. He is 21 and has a full
time job and fully supports anything I do,
and I can't get rid of him even when I try
. ok lately I have
had the worst mood swings EVER, and I
realize it fully and yet I can't stop it,
and having these I hurt peoples feelings.
Then I pee EVERY SECOND AFTER I DRINK, I
mean that gets on my nerves! Me having to
pee is what wakes me up now. My stomach
has been bloated and I've gained over 5
pounds the past week or so, and I crave
everything unusual... like seriously from
pickles to carrotts, to milk shakes.
everything especially sweets. I'm really
conscious about my weight and I have been
trying to loose it, cause lately I have
went from about 115 to 125, which is crazy
and I hate it. So today at work is what
really made me think. I didn't eat all day
and I went into work at about 4 30 and
when I got there I was fine and nothing
was wrong, then after about an hour or two
I started feeling really sick, then dizzy
and extremely hot and sweaty... I just
laid down and a cook at my restraunt
brought me a wet towel and I almost past
out... They made me call my mom and go
home, after I got there I ate a few
chicken tenders and fries and my mom
started questioning me asking why I had
almost passed out and she asked if I was
pregnant cause that was usually a sign, I
felt like dieing when she told me that.
Of course I told her NO. She is really
supportive to cause shes always told me
even if that ever happened to me she'd be
there and I shouldnt be afraid to tell
her. My boyfriend was there when she
asked me that and he then asked me about
it later that night, well about an hour
ago and he's finally asleep so I can get
on here to do this, but I told him I
wasn't sure but I just had a slight
feeling I am and he just said he'd love to
have a kid and he wasn't going anywhere
and made me promise I wouldn't leave him
over it. Also my legs and like butt area
(nothing like my anus or anything) has
been sore and so has my back.
So the big question is what do you think?
any advice??

If you were, pregnant, how far along would
you be? Because, if you've yet to miss a
period or two, chances are you aren't
pregnant. In fact, most women LOSE weight
in the first trimester of pregnancy
because of morning/afternoon/evening
sickness. Gaining 5/10 pounds usually
doesn't happen until the second semester.
You may be putting on weight for a
different reason, but some of your other
symptoms could indicate a pregnancy. Of
course, they may also indicate something
else (having to pee all the time means you
may have a bladder infection) so I'd
suggest you just take a test. Spend a
couple bucks and find out for sure,
because believe me, the wait is worse than
the truth.
If you haven't missed a period, I wouldn't
worry about it, because hardly anyone gets
any symptoms before a missed period. Next
time, if you screw up your birth control,
please use alternate protection. You'd be
surprised at how eager the human body is
to get pregnant, and it'll take every
chance it gets. Good luck and keep us
updated.

I agree with Reptar, take a test. There
isn't any advice until you know IF
you are pregnant or not.

well see the thing is I'm on this
birthcontrol that I only have my period
every 3 months, and I started it about a
month ago. and also the funny thing is
before I could eat ANYTHING and be fine,
along with the fact that I always eat, and
I could eat ALOT. Now I'm not hungry, like
I can eat but then I get full very easy
and I'm not eating as much anymore. I know
I should go get a test and my mom wants to
take me but I'm scared... like really. But
you all are right and I need too.
I forgot to mention about the whole birth
control situation, they switched it to
that because with the last birthcontrol I
was on I wasn't having my period, and so
they switched it and I spotted alittle
then just started my other birthcontol,
also lately I've had slight discharge and
I've had urinary infections before and I
know what they are like and how I feel and
this is defiantly not that, cause I did
take some azo for awhile just in case but
its not changeing.

The symptoms you are talking about are
symptoms that happen much later in
pregnancy though. Gaining 10 lbs in a
month is not healthy even in late
pregnancy -and it isn't an initial
pregnancy sign.
Azo doesn't cure urinary tract infections,
it only helps with the symptoms of UTI.
The only cure for UTI's is antibiotics.
Your symptoms could all be related to the
hormones in the new birth control. Take a
test. They are cheap.

urine infections can also cause u to feel
sick n pass out if they are bad enough
some ppl dont experience stinging
if u are on birth control still u need to
stop using it until u find out
as it can cause miscarriages n problems
for u and/or bubs
id suggest going to see ur doctor as soon
as possible if anything get a blood test
as if ur early on in a pregnancy it might
not show up on a normal hcg test so yah id
get a blood test done
