Q: Second opinon on pregnancy
asked by: foreverhis07 on April 3rd, 2008

I believe that I got my period around Feb 29th or March 1st. I started my birth control again 3 months ago, but didn't take it at all in Feb, and started again in March. I haven't been taking it like I am supposed to (same time everyday, and usually forget a day or two).

Me and my boyfriend have sex every night without protection and he does come in me everytime. We also usually have sex more than once a day.

According to my pack, I'm supposed to get my period April 10th. However, I've been having symptoms related to pregnancy that I NEVER get prior to my period and need a second opinion! For the past 5-7days I have been continually nauseas, my lower back is killing me, extreme fatigue, and my breasts have been fuller and heavier. My nipples have slightly gotten darker, and I have blue veins that you can now see in my breasts. I also have not a cramping feelings, but more of a stretching feeling in my abdomen. Also yesterday I spotted just once, bright red. My smell is better than normal too (and my nose is super stuffed from allergies). My boyfriend smokes and it never phases me but now I have to make him brush his teeth after or I almost throw up. I also have other symptoms.

The reason why I am on here looking for a second opinion is because my best friend always thinks everyone is preg and doesn't really help me. And all my others say I have no idea. I really need so second opinions on this, and when I would be able to take a pregnancy test.


PLEASE HELP ME!!!

if you are having all those symptoms already, a pregnancy test would come out positive if you were actually pregnant. If you do take one and it comes back negative and you still dont get you period, i would test when it is actually late.

So you think you are pregnant because someone told you that you were pregnant? Girl, we are all pregnant in that case! My sister tells me I am pregnant EVERY month.

You should find a birth control method that fits into your lifestyle better. Something you won't forget. Or find a way to remind you to take it, like put it right on your alarm clock, store it with your toothbrush, put it on your mascara if you wear it every day - that way you'll remember and eventually it becomes habit.

Or you could ask yourself every time you are going to have sex, "Did I take my birth control today?"

those are all great ways to remember Ingi, i wonder why I have never even thought to use those ways. I always thought i would forget the pill, so i got the shot instead.

I don't think I'm pregnant because someone told me, I was having the symptoms and told her. Thanks girls, I guess the next step is to take a pregnancy test! I was trying to wait till my period to see if it was late or not. I have started to take prenatals everyday and eat healthy, and change my habits with drinking and smoking!

Wish me luck! I'm hoping I am!!!

I took a test tonight. There was a faint second line. I'm going to take another in the morning. Hopefully it will show up fully! And tomorrow is when I'm supposed to get my period according to my pack. I'll let you know the results!
