Well sweetie, when I figured out that I may have been pregnant, I had some other signs, but some of yours sound true as well. My breasts were sooooo sore; more sore than they usually were around the time of my period. I also started breaking out all over my face, chest, and back...Pretty badly. I had also been on the pill, but I had forgotten some and been wreckless about precautions. About a week later I went to my ob-gyn...And yep, I was pregnant. About a month after that I started experiencing pain in both of my sides and in the middle of my abdomen. My doctor said it was my body stretching to make room for the baby. Just remember, if you are pregnant, be happy about it b/c children are a gift from god. No matter what your circumstance, there are several ways to make it these days being a teen mother. If you don't turn out to be pregnant, just take this as a lesson, and maybe god didn't see this as your time to be a mother. I hope that helps! Good luck to you.

Thanks jennjenn. If I am pregnant , I plan on keeping the baby because I know how precious theyare. The brownish spotting has stopped but I am still very tired and pale. I still am eating more than usual. The nausea is still there at times.

If I were you, I would call and make an appointment with an ob-gyn and get a blood test where they will not be mixed up. I know here in alabama, there are planned parenthood places that will give you pregnancy tests for free...I think for free. You may want to check into that. In my case, my boyfriend, now my husband, and I were out for my birthday. I whispered into his ear that I didn't think I should be drinking or smoking cigs b/c I still thought I was pregnant. He said, to just relax and have a good time, and be concervative with my activities until I found out. The waiting was torture, and I did act in a cautious way until I found out that yes, I was pregnant. From that point on, I became a nun with my body. (no caffiene, no cigs, no alcohol, no nothing) I did eat like a total hog and my friends at work would love to watch me eat the house down during our lunch breaks. (we would go to a place called landry's seafood, and I would eat a whole sampler platter...And I weighed 100 lbs. When I got pregnant.) I know that you will feel better when you get some peace of mind. Keep me posted on your situation and feel free to ask if you have questions!

thanks jennjenn. I do have an appointment next monday (the 14th). Maybe before that i'll get my period since if I am not then my period should be here sometime around the 11-13. I'll keep you posted one way or the other..I finally heard from my boyfriend after almost two weeks because he called on the 26 and wanted to end it and then he would not take any of my calls but I finally got to tell him about what has been happening since the 26th. He thought I had taken care of the situation--meaning the more after pill from the incident on august 15 -----i said yes I went and got the pill and took it but this could be from the july situation and that would make the morning after pill no good for the situation....He wants me to terminate the pregnancy if I am and I told him no that I was not........He wanted to tell my dad (who does not know yet---mom and I are afriad of telling him ---he will flip ) and I said no ....Not until we know for sure .....My dad would hate him and I don't want that so he finally agreed to wait for the outcome ....He said to call him on monday when I find out for sure.......Thanks again

I am so sorry to hear about your boyfriend. Boys (not men) that do that are such pansies that are too scared to get their feet dirty and deal with life. Good luck jenn

To jenjenn: :p I am getting alittle nervous about tuesday the 14th and going to the doctor's. The bleeding has subsided ----i only get it every once in awhile. So I don't know what is going on with my body . Hopefully the doctor can figure it out one way or the other. As for my boyfriend, we talked on labor day finally. He wants me to have an abortion if I am buti told him no way that if I am that I am keeping it and it will know that he is its father. I am not so mad at him right now like I was the weeks before. I am beginning to understand that he has alot going on at home with his family--his dad doesn't work, I think his mother is laid off and his sister plus her boyfriend whom neither work too much and their baby all live in the same house so I have a feeling he (my boyfriend) pays alot of the bills and such at the house and that is why he feels that he can't give me the attention I need by not being able to come visit every weekend(he lives a hundred miles away) but he still loves me and wants to eventually work this out. His grandfather also had alzeimer's disease. He is only 19 and I guess his life is in turmoil and that would explain why he is having a time dealing with the possibility of a baby. I guess that is why he works so much and why maybe his hunting at night is his way of relaxing. I feel so sorry for him at the moment. if I am not pregnant , I agree with you that it was god's way of telling us that we need to be better prepared in life and that he has too much going on in his life at the moment because I know he will make a great dad. Well just wanted to keep you abreast of what has been going on and will leave a message on tuesday afternoon after my doctor's appointment. Keep me in your thoughts and prayers. You have been so nice and understanding to my situation. :d thanks alot!

Jenn-jenn , I am getting alittle nervous aabout my doctor's appointment on sept. 14 :p . I will be glad to hear from the doctor one way or the other as to what is actually going on with my body ---am or am I not? If I am not then what to heck is wrong with my body and hopefully she can answer that question or test me for the problem. As for my boyfriend, we talked on labor day. He just needs alittle time apart because he feels he cannot give the attention he feels I need(he lives ahundred miles away and cannot always come up every weekend)-he does alot of farm work on the side from his regular job during the week. He is 19 and after talking to my mom--we have both come to the conclusion that he is going through alot in his life at the moment at home. His dad is on disability, his mom I think got laid off from her job and to top it all off his sister, her boyfriend and their baby live at his parents' house also.. I think he works all those odd jobs to help pay the bills at home and that is an awful burden for a 19-year old to have to do and his grandfather has alziemer's on top of it all and they live next door. So I have told him I understand but I don't think he has every had anyone care or realize what he is going through and now with the possibility of a baby--i think it is too much for him to deal with at the moment and I think that is why he wanted to have an abortion if I am pregnant because I don't think he thinks he can support his family and me and a baby all at the same time. But I told him if I was that I was going to keep it and it will know who its daddy is and that he would be able to see it anytime he wanted. If I am not then I will take it as a sign from god that we were not ready to be parents and try to get our lives back straight and together because I really love him and he told me he still loves me :d and wants to try to work it out in the near future. So thanks for being there for me to talk to. you have been great just like my mom . Keep me in your thoughts and prayers for the next few days. I will send a reply on tuesday afternoon after my doctor's appointment. Thanks so much!!!

:d sorry jennjenn for the double messages. I thought I had done the first wrong when I sent it :p so I did the second one :d . So sorry for the
mistake. talk you on tuesday unless something drastic happens before then.

Well in that case, I appologize for calling your boyfriend a pansy. I should not have done that until I heard the whole story. I can really see how he could feel just a little (ha ha) overwhelmed right now. If you know in your heart that he does love you, just tell him that you understand that he is stressed at this point in time, and that he will have plenty of time to work things out and be a part of yours and the baby's lives. Time can be a friend or an enemy...You choose which one. If you are pregnant, I truly hope that he will be there for you. Being pregnant is a wonderful thing, but it is also stressful. I don't know what I would have done without my husband. The thing about it though, when I got pregnant, we had only known each other for a month! Thankfully I had made a wise descision on choosing him to "you know" with. He is the best and he is a wonderful father. We ended up getting married almost 3 months after we met, and we are still one happy family. It was very stressful at first, not knowing if he would run or stand by my side. Unfortunately, that was a risk that I was going to have to take b/c I also was not going to have an abortion. I will pray for you and I hope that everything goes ok. Let me know!!!!

Jennjenn I just back from the doctor's. She sent me for a pregnancy test and some other blood work. The pregnancy came back negative again. At the doctor's office visit she isnot sure what is wrong with me. She told me I have an enlarged uterus and isnot sure why that is. There is still slight chance of pregnancy or something maybe more serious and there is also a chance I may have miscarried also. I have to go back to see her on october 5 for an internal sonogram to see if there is anything wrong with my uterus such a lining problems or the possibility of a miscarriage. I don't know anymore I just wish someone would figure out what to heck is wrong with me. This is so discouraging and maddening. I thought I would let you know and i'll keep upto date on my progress every 4-5 days until I go back to the doctor's because it has been so nice to be able to have someone other than my mom to talk too even though she is a good listener and friend, it has just een nice to vent to someone else who has somewaht been in my place. or if I get my period (for sure this time). I have never looked forward to having a period as I am right now. Like my mom said she almost wishes that I was pregnant than we would know for sure what is wrong whereas now we have to wait to find out what is wrong and that is very scary. Talk to you soon. Thanks alot again.

Wow. I hope everything goes alright for you. I know that not knowing is horrible. (wow, that was a tounge twister) say that five times! Ha ha. Anyways, all joking aside, I am sure that the doctor will be able to figure out what is going on with the sonogram. If your uterus is enlarged, it may be adenomyosis.

I had a hysterectomy earlier this year because of several reasons. First, I do not want any more children, and second, my uterus felt like it was going to fall out of me any minute. I was also having trouble with a bit of incontinence and I had to pee all the time. My cramps were also terrible. I would!literally cry at work b/c I hurt so bad/ When they did my hysterectomy, they sent my uterus to the pathologist. They found out that I had adenomyosis.

Look at this site. This is a!quote from it...Sound familiar?


Wdxcyber.Com/dxppn011.Htm


"adenomyosis is the presence of endometrial glands and supporting tissues in the muscle of the uterus whese it would not occur normally. When the gland tissue grows during the menstrual cycle and then at menses tries to slough, the old tissue and blood cannot escape the uterine muscle and flow out of the cervix as part of normal menses. This trapping of the blood and tissue causes uterine pain in the form of monthly menstrual cramps. It also produces abnormal uterine bleeding when some of the blood finally escapes the muscle resulting in prolonged spotting. It more often occurs in the postesior wall of the uterus.
On pelvic exam there may be uterine enlargement from about 6-10 weeks pregnancy size."

hope this helps. Keep me posted, as I know you will. I'll worry if you don't! (can't you tell i'm a mommy?) :d

To jennjenn I am so confused still I still have not started my period or do I even show any of my normal symptoms of it? I will be glad when they figure it all out. I don't know who or what to believe anymore.....I wish something would happen so I would know. It is so frustrating. Sorry to bother you about this but I am so confused and frustrated and angry. I try to think positive but it is awful hard to. Talk to you soon. Thanks for being there for me

Jenn: I had not had a response from you from my last note to you so I decided to write again.......This is now sept. 25 and I still have not gotten my period or any of my normal symptoms I got with it....... I'll be glad when a week from this tuesday gets here.....I have never wanted a doctor's appointment to get here like I do this one I hope she figures out what is wrong with me Talk to you soon you have been such a nice person to message

To jennjenn: thank you for all of the listening you did. I just wanted to let you know that I started my period last night . I am relieved but also disappointed especially since had been 7 weeks from my last one and all the symptoms I was having . I am now going on the evra patch which the doctor seems to think will be beter for me. I also know that I will probably never ever take that morning after pill again unless absolutely necessary because that can really screw up your body. It was a lesson well learned. Thanks for everything and I know that god had a reason for this. My ex boyfriend and I are still trying to work things out so hopefully somewhere soon down the road we will be back together . But again thanks for everything!!!

Jennjenn: my mom talked to the doctor today to cancel my appointment for tomorrow but the doctor still wants to do an ultrasound to make sure things are okay so I go next tuesday the 12 for one. The doctor isnot sure if I miscarried or not because of the very heavy bleeding I experienced on sunday night along with some clots and the heavy bleeding I did today so she wants to make sure everything is okay sometimes I am so confused and sad because I guess in a way I really wanted to be pregnant and also because I so miss my boyfriend. And he has not been here through this with me. well thought I would let you knw alittle more and I will let you know next week what the doctor had to say. Again, thanks so very much for everything.

Hi, I am 17 and me and my boyfriend had sex for the first time on september 25. The sex was unprotected, and I am really scared that I might be pregnant. I'm not sure though since I got my period and everything. I usually get my period around the beginning of the month. We had sex on the 25 and I got my period on the 28th. One of my friends told me that you could still be pregnant even if you do have your period after having sex. Somebody please help me. I am soooo scared!!!!
