I Feel Different. I'd Be Grateful For Some Opinions! Posted: 06-17-06 03:55am
After having unprotected sex june 4th, I
have felt a definite change in my body.
Not so much in terms of pregnancy signs
but I don't feel like me too much. I was
due for my period on the 5th or 6th of
june and it pretty much came on time
because I got it on the 7th. It was
dramatically lighter though and ended
completely on the 9th. This is strange to
me because I usally have a 7 day period.
People have suggested that I may have
gotten a shorter period because I haven't
had intercourse in a while and that can
change your cycle or that I am stressed.
I have been very moody about the craziest
things. I have almost cried more than
once everday for the past week or two. I
am not a crier normally. I have also been
very irritable. These feelings begun
after the 9th (end of bleeding) my friends
suggest the feelings i've been having are
all in my head but they are so distinct to
me that i'm not sure if I should think the
same.
Anyway, I have been feeling kind of weird
down there and have expirienced a lot of
things that are new to me. Today I also
noticed something different; when I feel
my lower abdomen, it feels very cushy and
firmer than usual. When I don't touch it,
I feel as if it is stretching my skin a
bit. My hips have gotten a lot wider
(everyone has mentioned it). And that's
about it for physical changes...I'm just
trying to provide as much details as I
can.
I know if you don't use protection there
is a chance of getting pregnant for
everyone so, what I want to know is what
some opinions are on the possibility that
I am. Also, I have been trying to figure
out the best day to take an at home test
but all the suggestions that i've read on
pregnancy sites have confused me.
I'd really appreciate someone's input
thank you :)

Well, I don't know about a best day since
you have had what seems like a period but
might not have been, the best time is your
first morning urine. Was your bleeding
heavy at all? I have never heard of sex
changing your cycle either. I would say
if you are thinking you might be pregnant
get a test and take it first thing in the
morning.

If you were pregnant, you wouldn't even
have any symptoms yet because it hasn't
even been 2 weeks. The fact that you got
a 'period' and relatively on time is an
indicator that you are not pregnant.
Short or heavy periods are not determined
by how much or how often you have sex.
Whoever told you it might be a lighter
period because you hadn't been having sex
that often is obviously not very educated
on the female body.
If you feel you are pregnant, you should
take a test when your period becomes late.
Which should be in a few weeks.
Go to planned parenthood and get some
birth control education. At the very
least, use condoms ~ always have your
partner wear condoms.

Thanks for replying :) um so, should I
take a test around july 6 or 7? Or
sooner? Also, is shortness of breath
something to worry about in the case that
I am pregnant? I am about 20 pounds
overweight so I usually suck in my tummy
when wearing clingy shirts but recently I
haven't been able to as easily at all.
I've been losing my breath a lot without
even being that active. Even if this is
not a sign, does anyone know what could
improve this? Should I take shorter
breathes or deeper breathes, etc?
