Pms Symptoms?
Posted: 11-10-04 20:03pm

My last period was kind of irregular, it wasn't heavy at all and barely lasted 3 days (as did previous ones). Although there was bleeding and had regular pmy symptoms. I have been on ortho tri cyclen lo for about 2 yrs., so I know periods get lighter and shorter while on the pill.

Im supposed to get my period next wk, and this wk (like it usually happens), my breast are swollen and sore, have lower back pain, moody, depression, extra anxiety, and feel tired and lethargic (also due to the fact that I have recently started taking xanax xr for anxiety). This wk. Also I have a "fullness" in my stomach, mostly my lower abdomen. I have been having abdominal problems since last april and have seen a gyno, reg. Doc., and urologist (said my urethra was very tight, stretched it a little in aug., but that didnt do much). I never really had any infections (from Dr. Urine tests), and just this past mon. Saw my urologist, said no infection (from urine sample), but wants me to see a gastronolgist because I have been having bowel mvmt. Problems, and get this ball of pain in the left side of my abdomen, esp. W/caffein. I cant drink coffee (reg.) any more, and I have been eating a lot of chocolate (due to halloween), so this might be causing the pain to increase.

Questions: last time I had intercourse was sept.6 (used spermicidal lubricated condom), have fooled around since (i.E. Dry humping, etc.) but fiance' didnt ejaculate near vaginal area (maybe some precum), but he has a rare condition of pituitary/thyroid disease where his endocrynologist is pretty sure he cant have children w/out the help of meds., I take my pills every day same time.
1. Can I get pregnant w/out actually having sex? (esp. From what I said above)
2. Had preg. Blood test done oct.21, came back neg. But fooled around a few days before that so im afraid I took it too soon (oct.8, fooled around)
3. Is it common to urinate/feel like urinating more frequently week b4 period?
4. My appetite isnt as big as it always is the wk. Before my period, but I know symptoms can vary month to month. Since im taking xanax, a side effect is loss of appetite, can that be the reason?
5. Any possibility that I could be pregnant or is this just a combo of pms, birth control pills, and xanax?
6. I was on antibiotics in oct. We fooled around, but didnt have intercourse, and ive been reading that they may actually have no effect on bcp.

Okay, i'm gonna give this a shot.
1. No, I don't think you have a chance of being pregnant. While precum does contain sperm, i'm going to assume that by dry humping you mean there were still clothes on? If he ejaculated near your vagina, on the outside, it is possible, but I wouldn't stress, since he has a problem.
2. What do you mean by fooled around?? It sounds as if you're not pregnant.
3. Needing to urinate frequently can be caused by thousands of different things. It could be because of the new medication, a bladder, kidney, or urinary tract infection, anything like that. Everyone is different, so whether it's common or not doesn't matter.
4.The xanax could very well be why you're not as hungry. It could also have a lot to do with your other problems.
6. It depends on which birth control you're on, and which antibiotic it was. Each pill or shot is different. Tetracycline and things like that tend to affect the pills more than some other antibiotics.

Wait until next month. If you have a period, you're not pregnant. If you don't, take a test. Just stop stressing!! Stress can screw up your body just like pregnancy can. Take it easy and don't worry.

Thanks. By fooling around I meant one of us had our underwear on at one point. There was never any (you know) full on touching w/out underwear. (thats what we did when dry humped too)
