Q: Preg Or Paranoid? Support And Prof. Advice Needed! Very Long

I think i'm just paranoid...But here's my story:

i'm 19 years old and I do not want kids. I'm in a very serious relationship with my boyfriend (just so everyone knows so I don't get comments about stds) i've been on yasmin for about 6-7 months now (my first ever bc) and i've been fine with it (no side effects). I have a regular period which comes on tue night/wed every week during my placebo pills and it ends saturday. My period has still been on the heavy side since starting the yasmin but I definitly improved. My boyfriend and I have are very sexually active and sometimes he uses a condom and sometimes he doesn't - it hasn't been a big deal to us since i'm take my bc within the same couple hours every morning.

Now my problem:

i got my period on the night of the nov. 22nd. But - my period was different this time...It was a lot lighter than i'm used to. I've never had a period that light in my whole life! It wasn't spotting though, it was an actual period just much lighter than i've ever experienced. Then was when I started considering being pregnant (which I do not want). I took a preg. Test while I still had my period on the 24th and it was negative. (prob too soon anyway)...And I was bloated a little more than i'm used too since i've been on bc.

So my period ended and i've been randomly feeling bloated, but I look bloated, and I have pain in my abdomen and it's worse in my belly button, but it's not severe at all, just slight pain when I push on it (and it feels hard when I push on it) (my bf and I have 'done the deed' the past four nights and when he lays onto top of me it hurts my abdomen (for him to put his weight on it) and I felt gassy and I could feel that I was letting out air (not a lot or anything, but some) and my abdomen just hurts.
Also, I lost weight a few months ago and went down a pant size, but now just recently i'm starting to go back up to my old size (but I also have been eating unhealthily and stuff).

I have been emotional the past couple months and recently stressed out (i moved unwantingly two days before my period started in november) but I don't think I felt stressed out enough to physically change my body, but i'm not sure. I feel more stressed out right now wondering if I could be pregnant than i've felt in the past month.
Like I said, I take my pill between 6-6:30 m-f and between 8-11(at the very latest) on the weekends and I have never missed a pill.

My symptoms that could be pregnancy are:
sleepiness (but then again i'm being tested for sleep apnea at the end of the month), peeing alot the past couple days (but like I said, I also have been having sex the past couple nights in a row), my abdomen hurts (bloated, crampy, it feels hard when you push on it), I also feel like i'm "wet" but i'm not too much and it's not colored (there is a tiny bit of a yellowish stain on my panties, but i've seen it happen before...I feel slightly naseous but I think thats from reading all these pregnancy symptoms online and being worried, lol. And my breasts are not swollen/tender/darker/etc! (that's the only thing i'm hoping is the sign i'm not pregnant!)


i'm sorry this is long, but I had to make sure I got in all the details.
I'm looking for feedback and advice preferrably from people with similar experiences. I'll probably buy a preg. Test tonight.

I do have one question though:
after researching all this online I read that when you ovulate you have that clear/white stretchy sticky stuff and I haven't had that since before i've been on bc...So does that mean I haven't ovulated? Or does that not always happen when you ovulate?

Thank you so much to whoever responds. I need some emotional support!!!

I know you feel like you have just typed out your entire life but I recommend that you post this under the pregnacy forum. There are a lot of women who visit that site religiously and you may get a quicker and more detailed response.

Here's hoping you get what you want.

Good luck

I doubt youre pregnant. You probably need to go to the doctor, anyways, and have a pap smear and pelvic exam, to rule out any infections, or pid.

The bloating could be a direct result from the unhealthy eating. It can also be caused by the sleepless nights, and work into a cycle, so go to sleep, girl.

You could just go take a preg. Test to set your mind at ease.

Are you having problems in the relationship? That can cause sleep loss, and stress. Also, the peeing thing could be from a bladder infection.

Too much sex.. Makes enjoyable sex impossible later on.. Take it easy, you two.. Lol
