Q: Bloated Stomach For Weeks?

Hi i'm not sure where to post this... but i'll try it here. Well its been about 5-6 weeks since i have noticed this, it came about the same time i stopped using my birth control (dont know if that has any relation or not) but my stomach has been extremely bloated or something. I am an average sized girl. I am 5'3" and weigh about 120-122 pounds. I am almost 20. I have not gained or lost any weight since i noticed this bloated stomach. I am exactly the same, except my stomach is huge. I honestly look pregnant. I can hardly do up my pants that i normally wear, and some of my kids at school have even said things like, " are you having a baby, or wow your tummy is big. ( i am an aide at an elementary school ) I am so confuesd since i havent gained any weight. I feel fine for the most part, except for this huge stomach!!!!! It would be diffrent if i was gaining weight than i would know i was just fat, but i am exactly the same as before, just with this big old bloated stomach, i cant even really suck it in. I have no idea what this could be...

please any help or advice or ideas... i am so fed up and confuesed and just really depressed.

yes i am still confused but wednesday i will be ok either way. Yea the miscarriage was rough , my first time being pregnant first time trying and we lost it. I t was the worst thing i had every been through in my life! Well wednesday im going to lfe care prenancy center to take a test and do an ultra sound, since im late and i dunno if its because of my miscarriage or if im preggo again. i got a negative testing but if i dont have the hcg level at a point to where it can be identified and im am preggo then im not as far along as i thought but if they dont see anythng on the ultrasound then i guess it was the miscarriage messing up my cycle.
