HELP


Quote  |  Reply

Ok, Hi everyone. Hope u all are doing great. So I've been having so many symptoms. Be patient because I am going to explain.  I need to know if anyone experienced the same before. My last period was August 7, 2008.  I ovulated around the 20-25.  I've been off the pill since July so there has been unprotected intercourse during my ovulation days.  About a week later, I had diarrhea for a week with no other symptoms.  I know it wasn't a virus because I felt fine, and had even more of an appetite. Plus it only happened in the morning and sometimes afternoon.  Anyways, that is now gone.  i now think I have a yeast infection, which I started using monistat this week.  Now it seams to feel better but yesterday and today, when I go to the bathroom and wipe, there is a light pink discharge.  Can someone help me? I'm also very thin and lately my stomach has been hard and bigger, my nipples are a bit soar on and off.  I'm not due for my period until Sept. 7.  Thanks for ur help. :)

Hi vponce.  Since you've been off the pill and had unprotected sex; there is a chance you could be pregnant.  The only way to know for sure is to take a test.  It may be too early; so buy a box that has three tests in it in case you want to take one THIS INSTANT; then wait closer to the time of your period; then wait to take the third if your period doesn't come.  If you get all negatives after spacing it out; see your doctor and he can do a blood test.

Yeast infections and diarehea to my knowledge aren't symptoms of pregnancy; but that could be your body's way of reacting to the hormone shift.  Since you are due in a week; your boobs may be sore due to PMS.  Your stomach would not get harder and bigger yet, that could also be PMS bloating or pregnancy bloating.  And the discharge may also be PMS spotting; or possible implantation bleeding; very common in the first month. 

The only way to know for sure is to wait it out and see if your period comes.  There's a certain hormone in your blood that elevates; Hgh I think it's called; that the home pregnancy tests pick up.  There may not be enough to give you a positive yet if your are in fact pregnant;  But like I said; take a early response test; and try to get three in a box.  A positive test is pretty darn clear.

Good luck; keep up posted; and relax and take one day at a time.

Thank you so much for replying.  Yes, I'm going to wait until next week.  We'll see.  I appreciate you replying though.  Well we jut decided to try getting pg so I'm hoping I am pregnant.  Thank you.  Hope u and your baby are doing well.  Saw ur pics.  They are cute.

thank you!  good luck!  enjoy the journey of trying to get pregnant with your significant other! And if you are; congrats!
