Q: Unusual period - pregnant ?

Hello,

I am a 29 year old female that has never been pregnant. Recently I have had a scare. I had unprotected sex after a period in September 8, 2009 (26 day cycle). I had sex on the 14th and 28th of September. I started spotting like 1 week after sex on the 20th, a week after the spotting I started having internal abdominal pain, later I experienced heavy discharge and when my period was due October 4th I started having unbearable back pains. I mean it was hard to have a good night sleep. I later got my period on the 11th of Ocrtober and was still experiencing the still lower back pains.

I normally bleed 3 days and on the fourth day I spot. This period was not only late but it lasted 5 days and 2 days spotting. I didn't think anything of it, so I just moved on. Not even 2 days after the spotting the back pain started getting worse, now the pain is like around my waist to my abdomen. I had mild cramping for the next 3 weeks but with the still lower back pain. I didn't get nauseas, but I started peeing a lot often. I will go at least 3 times during sleep and more often during the day. I would feel like something is forcing me out my sleep to go pee. I broke out with horrible pimples that later left my face and moved it's way to my neck. My breast will burn off and on but no darkening of the nipples. If I wear a sports bra I feel nothing.

I look pale as ever and I am a Light skinned African American female. Around 2 weeks after my period this line appeared on my abdomen that was not there before. I began to have a unusual apatite. Then at the beginning of November the cravings and eating slowed down. Now I get so tired that I have to take a nap and when I wake I feel so exhausted. I have been having headaches off and on since my LMP. In the beginning they were often, now they are not so often. Sometimes it feels like my lower abdomen is tightening up when I eat or drink too much. I have taken 5 pregnancy tests and they are all negative. I missed my period this month and is wondering if I'm not pregnant then what else could be going on?

Those symptoms are very strong symptoms, most women wouldn't get those symptoms until they are further into a pregnancy. In addition, pregnancy symptoms are caused by pregnancy hormones. The same pregnancy hormones are picked up by pregnancy tests. If all those symptoms were caused by pregnancy, your tests would be positive.

If you have missed a month of your cycle, you should go see your doctor to see what the other causes could be.
