If it's not pregnancy it could be bladder infection, and with the symptoms you're describing could actually be a kidney infection. Go to the doctor, get your urine tested, tell them you think it could be pg or infection and get them to test you out. If it is bladder/kidney infection you'll need antibiotics and you can get really sick from a kidney infection so go sooner rather than later.

Good luck!

Numbness
I started walking this week to lose weight after having my 3rd child. I'v lost all baby weight plus 5lbs, but I was over weight from the getgo. It seems when I start to exercise about 30 min. Into it my feet feel numb and my fingers. What is the problem?

How severe is your back pain? If it's pretty bad than you're probably not pregnant. You do have some pregnancy symptoms though. What's your bloating like?

Its not really huge, but I used to have a flat tummy so I can notice it a lot.Its a bit like blown about 3 inches above and 3 inches below the belly button. At nights, it looks huge, then in the morning its a bit less. Back pain is not that bad..But it comes and goes..But I am gassy for the whole lasr month. I never had that.I was so confident that I was pg but since that test came negative, I avoid thinking abt me being pg.

How are u feeling anyway? Did any tests lately??

You should just assume you are until you get a normal period. Take prenatels now just in case. I haven't had any test come up positive since the last one. I think i'm going to see a doctor soon, but I might wait until next week considering my next period is due.

On the Same Boat,pitterpatter
Hmm I guess we both are on the same boat..U take good care of urself..

I just feel hopeless , atleast if I know I am not pg for definite I wouldn't stress myself so much. At the same time, don't wanna do things that might hurt the baby if I am pg..Its so hopeless. I don't wanna think I am pregnant either, coz I will be too disappoined if I am not.It hurts both ways. Crying or Very sad

kepe me updated and i'll do the same.Tc

Yeah we are in the same boat! I've been waiting for ever it seems like. If i'm pregnant I think i'd be about eight weeks. I havent had a normal period yet and i'm getting frustrated too! I just want to know wether it's yes or no at this point I don't care.

Hi Everyone
How is everyone doing?? Pitterpatter, how r things going?? I am actually quite ok. I had my period on the 20th. Its not worse like I always have(normally==>bad cramps, vomiting, emptying stomach, dizziness, drowsyness and very bad bad abdo pain and feeling like killing myself).

I got my flat tummy back, coz I got my periods nearly finishing. I am still gassy. I need to go and see the doc abt the frequent urination, gassy,high temp,bloating and heartburn. I haven't noticed them lately coz I got so many other symptoms going on in my tummy(pms). Anyway hope everything is ok.

I got a question for all of u, this may sound a bit stupid or funny but I am not that knowledged abt these stuff. The question is at the end of this longggggggg explanation coz I know it will be hard to beleive.

I was only interested in these stuff a year ago(when I was 19) because I was getting arranged marriage and mum and I never talk abt that stuff. Eg: the whole family will b watching telly and we have to change channels when ppl are kissing or getting a bit...

I come from a different country where u get no chances of knowing this stuff till u r 16(sex education), but I moved to uk just b4 they taught me that stuff. I did not have any sisters or close friends to ask about these stuff.

So I actually asked my husband to explain it to me on the phone (after I knew 100% that I was marrying him and had a few chats on the phone and saw him 3 times front of our family)because I told him that I know sumthing has to happen after marriage on our first night but I only have ideas abt it and do not know what happens. Embarassed he kinda explained to me in text messages, hahaha. We txted each other till 4 am in the morning abt that Laughing

here we are now, married for a year and a half..First six months were not so great considering sexual life coz it hurt me a lot so never did it, well tried it lot of times..Then I asked on one of the forums, they advised to use lubricant coz we both get nervous and blah..U know what I mean Shocked now everything is going great..

Here goes the question:- my husband said to me a couple of days ago, u will not have a baby yet(we r not using any protection) coz ur body is just getting used to having sex and I promise u, u will have a baby in 3 years time.(thats when I am finishing uni) my question is, can he actually do somthing to not to get me pregnant???? He is not using any condoms!! He bursts in me, I feel it and I know it. So what does he mean by that????

Errrrrrrr sounds like a blokes way of saying "don't worry darling, you won't get pregnant" just so that he can get away without using protection and still get to finish by cumming inside you.

You say yourself you know even pre-cum can get you pregnant, so you just answered your own question.

The only sure fire way to avoid pregnancy is abstinence!

Thanks 4 Replying
Hmm u think so? Could be..But I didn't mind having a baby..He loves babies as well but said he doesn't mind waiting till I finish my studies..

He sounded so sure so I thought probably I am missing sumthing. Shocked he does smoke a lot and drink a lot. So probably he thought he is infertile at the moment..I have no idea.

Dont allow a guy to do this ladies!!!!!!!! Be in charge of your bodies!!!( the only way to not get pregnant is to not have sex!!)but thats stupid to think that everyone is going to go around and abstain from sex!! If he has figured out a way to not get you pregnant without using birth control then he needs to get that patented right away. Laughing not to mention std's. What about those is he free of them? There is something that is present early its called pre ejaculte or pre cum which comes from the penis before ejacultion which can have just as much sperm! So you need to take control of your body and not let a guy make these decisions for you!!!!!!!
