Hello, first timer here :) I was wondering if someone could give me any suggestions as to what's going on with me. For the last couple weeks everyday about an hour after I eat lunch M-F I feel REALLY sick to my stomach and get a really bad headache. I'm a pretty healthy eater, always eat a small snack then go to the gym for 30-60 minutes then come home and eat an actual breakfast then go to work. I guess my schedule is a little off just bc I got a new job about 2 months ago and work from 1130am to 8pm. I'm pretty sure I'm not pregnant bc I'm on birthcontrol and have been on the same kind of b.c. for months and haven't skipped any periods. I'm actually planning on going to a doctor as soon as I get insurance bc about a month ago or so I noticed a small marble like lump near my bikini line which hasn't gone away. I do have HPV high risk. Could the 2 be related? Or am I just being paranoid. I know I need to go to a doctor I'd just really prefer to wait until I have insurance if I can. Sorry so long but I'd appreciate any comments!

i have been having stomach cramps for days, mild headaches,lower back pain, sore muscles and some breast pain, and my stomach feels weird like tight, and a little dizziness...on the 5th i saw some bleeding that stayed light and didnt get heavy at first it was watery pink, dark red and then light pink when it finished off and before it finished i saw some spotting it lasted for 4 days and my normal period usually lasts longer than that, so i thought maybe its implantation bleeding??? im thinking about taking a pregnancy test but i dont know if now would be to soon to test...when do you think i should and could i possibly be pregnant?

I am currently on a deployment right now and my wife back at home is constantly having cramps and nausea while pregnant. Yes I know this is typical, but it is happening the entire day. (Once the sun goes down she is fine?). She gets sharp pains in her side that cripples her, and she has a hard time eating because of her stomach. She feels sick but cant vomit. She went to the doc and they gave her a prescription for the nausea, but the side effects are dizziness and drowsiness. Is there anything else she could take? Any mothers on here that could give me some tips to pass on to my wife would be greatly appreciated. btw my mother-in-law is taking care of her while I am away.

My contractions are getting much much more frequent, and they are hurting TREMENDOUSLY, but it goes away sometimes and they become farther and farther apart, ? Could this be signs of a premature birth D:?

I'm a married mom of 2 and if I have more kids someday, great. I haven't planned anything out right now. Here's my story. I had a normal period at the end of May and normally have a 28 day cycle. I can guarantee that I did NOT ovulate during the time I should have (thanks to OPKs). I am on the pill, but with the long summer hours and spending more time away from home, I don't bother taking it at the regular time. In June I skipped a day or two at the beginning of the pack and then the rest of the pack was either taken on time or like an hour late most nights. I never use any back-up methods. The week I should have been ovulating I had menstrual like cramping only in the after-noons & evenings only for a few days. No bleeding during that time. A few days later I started experiencing small amounts of brown discharge too. It lasted only 3-4 days and a liner would have been more than enough for an entire day. My period was due the next week but never came. I'm NEVER early but have been known to be late from time to time. I've been feeling nauseated a lot more lately and have difficulty sleeping on my stomach which is where I'm normally most comfortable. And yes, I've been experiencing bloating also. For the past few weeks I've been experiencing breast soreness to the point where they hurt right now just sitting here, but they aren't sore to the touch. I have major issues with falling asleep at night and at 3 in the after-noon I NEED a nap!! No new stress or major stress~~no changes in diet or exercise habits. I took an Equate line test a few days ago that is similar to First Response where you get the two lines if you're pregnant and one if you're not. The one a few days ago I thought maybe had a faint line but after 10 minutes I didn't see it again. I took one of those tests this morning first thing too. I laid it on the floor while I waited for the results and while I looked down at it I could see a faint but definite positive result! The line was blue (as it should be) but really thin. I didn't need to squint or hold it to the light to see it. After 10 minutes, it was still there though a lot more faint. With my first baby, I felt awesome! I knew something was off, but wasn't sure what and wasn't sick~~I was just way happy! With #2, I got pregnant while taking the pill religiously, never a skip, and I had lots of mood swings, back aches, and bleeding in early pregnancy. So what I'm looking for here are just thoughts and opinions, not a diagnosis or "take another test" or "see the doc"....I plan to test in a couple more days and if I get the same result as today, I'll go see my doc. Thanks ladies!

We had unprotected sex on June 12 but he didn't finish ...my period came on the 13 .I had sex on the 27,3,5,and 8th we used condoms for those times. Symptoms are:dizzy,lightheaded,I have had a bad headache for the past week,tired but can't ever seem to sleep,I found myself eating peanut butter today and I haven't ate it since I was pregnant with my last about 6 yrs ago..I personally think its too early for any symptoms..I have had a few cramps here and there the past 2 days,According to my chart I should get my period on the 11th. Am I just looking for things or does it seem like I might be preg.? On the 27 I also spotted some..the chart said it was my ovulation time.

I have not spoken to anyone in 2 days since everyone in my house went on vacation for a week and just left me here. o I am 22 weeks pregnant, and extrememly lonely, and the only words I have spoken were to my cat. I have not felt my baby move at all in the past 2 days, but I was just talking to my cat and I felt her kick! Do you think she can hear me??

i had sex with my g f. we are in love so dont tell me to get an abortion. i didnt use a condom and she is not on birth control. now i realize that if the girl isnt on birth control then the guy can get pregnant....i know this, but we were stupid and we didnt pay attention. we just wanted to get my wee wee in and then out. anyway, i ejaculated on her vagina and i hope im not preggo since i ejaculated. i look fatter and i am craving cupcakes. i hope i aint pregnant. i am only in 8th grade. i am not ready to be a Father and i do not want to go through labor. im scared. help, please? my g f says im crazy. thanks. i will buy the test tomorrow :]. lets just hope for the best. oh and how do i have 'issues'?

im 16 n 20 wks pregnant i want to get it after i have the baby was just wonder if u have to be over 18

Just curious if any other women out there had lost any weight during pregnancy not related to nausea or vomiting. I have lost 6lbs in total from the start until now (7 months preggers), and 4lbs in the last 2 weeks, I have been sick though with another illness but didn't think it had much effect on my eating. So just wanted to know if there was anyone else out there that lost weight and not gained during their pregnancy. I am overweight and could stand to lose the weight, I have a major lifestyle change now living in a different city and new job where I am much more active so that might have something to do with it. Thanks in advance for the responses.

I was in the army, and worked out for an hour and a half every day. Then I got pregnant and got out and did not exercise anymore. I have now started exercising again almost 2 years later. Before I felt excellent after working out and very high energy levels. Granted today is my first day, but I went to work out this morning (20 min cardio 20 min weight lifting 10 min stretching) and I have been exhausted all day laying in bed. Is this normal? Will this go away? I cannot afford to be this exhausted with a one year old. Is there anything to help me regain my energy?

She's not throwing up in the morning,but at the end of the day. Is this a sign that she could be pregnant,or is two weeks too soon to start getting nausea and vomiting?

Me and my boyfriend did it using a spermicidal condom. However, the condom slipped off, not inside me, it was just hanging out of me, so we used a new one and my boyfriend pulled out. a week later i started having extremely painful cramping. Am i pregnant?

Ok so 3 days ago my girlfriend and I had sex. i had a condom on and i am sure that it did not break. It only lasted 5 minutes or so because she told me to stop. I did not cum what so ever, just some pre cum in the condom. i know there is a chance but what do you think the chances of her being pregnant are? This was my first time ever having sex. Im just worried.

I am writing a short story in which a man who has a hit out on him, is dating a woman who is actually his assassin. Upon finding this out he date rapes her and leaves her at a hotel otherwise unharmed, but pregnant. NOW realistically speaking, can this occur and how? I pride myself on the realism of the story despite the extenuating circumstance.

Book 1: Dr. Katherine Buchannan has had a troubled past. Having been abused for years by her uncle and neglected by her parents, she’s struggled hard to get her life in order. Eighteen years later she finally has what she’s always wanted: a steady career helping victims of sexual abuse, friends she loves, a sister who supports her unconditionally and she’s even started a relationship with NYPD Detective Aaron McCarty. But when some of her patients begin to be attacked and killed, her little niece is hurt and her best friend goes missing, Katherine needs to face her past and work with Aaron and his eccentric partner, Dt. Jack Stewart, to save everything she’s built, the lives of those she loves, and even her own. Book 2 Dr. Julie Harman is pregnant, from NYPD Detective Jack Stewart, a man she loves but can’t commit to due to her past. Sixteen years before, she had the worst night of her life, in which she was raped and her boyfriend was killed. Despite her attacker never having been caught, Julie moved on with her life, and is now a therapist working with victims of sexual abuse. While she’s deciding how to let Jack know she’s expecting his child, a series of cases identical to hers start to happen, and she has to wonder if it could really be the same person from so many years before. When the case is assigned to Jack and his partner, Aaron McCarty, Julie and Katherine, her partner, find themselves working once more with NYPD, this time, to give Julie closure and the chance of a happy life. Book 3 It’s been two years Allison Buchannan has been divorced and, for the first time since her oldest daughter was born, eleven years before, she regrets having quit her job as a major criminal journalist to go freelancer. She feels lonely and needs something to give her life meaning. When her youngest daughter goes missing, and a series of little girls are found dead, Allison finds her way into digging up her old PI license and working with NYPD and FBI. What she never expected was that while going through the hardest time of her life, she would fall in love with Special Agent Mitch Langdon. Now Allison has to gather all the strength from within herself to help solve the case, bring her daughter home, and maybe, just maybe, be happily ever after.

Well it wasn't unprotected sex, the condom broke! That was two weeks ago.

I know there have been a few questions on this kind of thing before, but i didn't read them! Anyway i know i dont seem to be well lately lol, worrying alot abput every little thing. Im 9 weeks pregnant on monday and have had a cough for the past 4 weeks at the most, mostly coughing up clear phlegm, ive had a few head aches and feeling ikky for the past few days. Its so confusing because i dont know wether its just normal pregnancy syptoms or a flu?! I am booking docs for tomo hopfully, to check all is ok. Anyone else got same syptoms? seems we are more at risk :-(

I inserted my penis once or twice, would i need to worry that she is pregnant?

I'm 14 weeks pregnant -- just got back from the doctor's office and heard the baby's heartbeat. Everything seems to be going well. I'm wondering when would be a good time to start decorating the nursery, shopping around for a crib, and such. It still seems rather early to me, especially since we won't find out the baby's gender until August 14. I go back to work the following week, though, so summer seems like a good time to get some of this stuff out of the way. When did you start getting the house ready for your first child?

If a fifteen year old gets pregnant,& the mother doesn't approve and makes her get an abortion. Does the fifteen year old have a choice in all this?

I just got laid off from my Part time job. I was not making alot of money because I only worked 3 days a week. I am married and currently 6 months pregnant. My husband says "Just stay home" we will manage. As of October, I was going to be a Stay at home mom anyways. But I am going to be a stay at home wife for the mean time. Is it worth looking for a job now since I will have to quit in October anyways?

Just today I was thinking about how big my stomach has felt lately and I was looking in the mirror giggling because I looked pregnant. Until I realized that was a possibility. See, I'm on my second week of pills (for this month, I've been on the pill since uhmm probably October because my mom wouldn't allow me to see my bf if I wasn't). Well the first week I missed two pills because it was a new packet and I was on a short vaca with a friend and it hadn't really crossed my mind. I made them up, but this week I missed another because my mom was supposed to give it to me at my friends house and left them in her pocket my accident. WELL the beginning of this week, or last weekend Idk, I threw up (and I haven't thrown up in..a long time like well over a year). I just immediately woke up..6 in the morning and felt the need to. A couple of days ago I went to bed a little early because I was feeling sick again. Like I said, my stomach got bigger, and it feels big, looks like baby belly but I had just assumed that could be because I stopped exercising! Which I guess it could or I could be bloated! I feel like I have to pee more (but I get that randomly every now and then) and I've had spotting (but then again, that could be from the birth control). None of our condoms broke or anything, but I'm guessing it could also happen from pre-ejaculation (sometimes we'll start and then put a condom on a second later). And I'm much hungrier, but hey, it happens sometimes. So...everything that could be a sign, could also just be a normal thing for me? Just, everything at once seems kind of weird? I guess I just want to know your opinion and what you feel it could most likely be. Who knows, maybe I'm one of the few people who can't even be helped by the pill? Idk! It really would be just my luck though. This whole summer, everything has gone downhill so WHO KNOWS And no mean comments. I really don't need it right now. I just want to know your opinion. And of course, I will get a test at sometime. I just don't want to wait 3-4 weeks to see if my period comes. I read somewhere you can experience some symptoms the first couple of days? And it wasn't my first time, lol. He's the only guy I've had sex with, we've been together for a year and 4 months, and I'm pretty sure he's not going to just up a leave like a lot of jerks. He'll atleast do SOMETHING And I wasn't worrying when I got sick, it hadn't even crossed my mind. Even when my dad laughed and said "you aren't pregnant are you" it hadn't crossed my mind. Hah. Oh boy.

My boyfriend and I had sex on June 29th, July 1st, July 4th, and July 7th. I'm on the pill but we didn't use a condom. I know my birth control can fail on me and i missed a pill July 3rd and didn't take the next pill till July 4th after we had sex. And my period never started last week when it was supposed to. I know there's always a chance of getting pregnant when you have sex even if you are on the pill and/or use a condom. But why am i having early pregnancy symptoms? Is it too early?

there is a possibility that i might be pregnant and me nad my boyfriend both decided that we would get an abortion. are there any abortion clinics in massachusetts?

I am unemployed and while on a job search I found out I was pregnant, I wasnt too nervous because by husband was working but then he just recently got laid off! Im so nervous because Im still looking but im afraid I would get regected because I am now three months pregnant and no one will want to hire me because of that. Has anyone else been through this or have any type of advice for me....I will appreciate it sooooooo much.

I've been told by my OBGYN that my uterus is tilted back. How does this affect getting pregnant? Does anyone else have this? Was it hard for you to concieve?

Today I am 13 dpo and usually I have a lot of signs to show that prove that AF is coming. Me and my fiance bd during my ovulation week before, on, and after my ovulation day. I thought for the last couple of months when I actually started keeping track of the symptoms that I was pregnant but I wasn't.I had a low grade fever that dropped the day AF came. I felt nausea only until I ate something. Bad pelvic pain. A bad headache. I felt lighthead but that would only happen when i was standing for a long time and only happened once during each cycle. And my boobs would send sharp pains and my nipps wouldn't hurt at all. This time it's different. All I feel is nipple pain and itching. Light pelvic pain on right side. My fiance told me that my breast look bigger. Nausea right after I eat that goes away. And a headache that I don't need pain medicine for. Could I be pregnant? Should I test tomorrow morning? or Should I stay cool and wait until Saturday? Please help! Thanks!!

I really want a gay couple in my game to reproduce together instead of simply adopting. Is there a cheat available for this?

I'm almost 6 weeks pregnant. I had sex with my boyfriend this morning and after about 7-10 minutes I got an extremely sharp pain in my lower abdomen almost groin area. i layed there for about 7 minutes after because I couldn't even move. Then i went upstairs to use the bathroom and on the way I got extremely bad nausea and I just about puked everywhere. Then I got very dizzy and my ears popped and everything looked fuzzy. I sat down and 5 minutes later I felt fine except for I have gas and it hurts extremely bad when I sit a certain way on my... butt. sorry tmi but I'd really like to know what this is. I've had a miscarriage before but this is nothing like it. There's no bleeding what so ever. I think it's really bad constipation but I can't be sure. also we had sex laying side by side. that might have something to do with hitting the wrong spot in the rectum area... that might help. uhmm excuse me 'Nini" but the only reason we did it laying side by side was because it's the least rough way for the two of us. He would never want to lose the baby we've been trying for a year you idiot. don't say things that you know nothing about. that was an awful thing to say.

I graduated from high school 3 years ago. I have ran into alot of girls that I went to school with either graduating a year before me with me or a year after. And so many are pregnant. Or have told me some one else is pregnant. I'm talking like over 30 girls. A few are on baby #2. I know accidents happen but really how hard is it to be safe?? A few girls admitted it was a 1 night stand gone wrong.

Just wondering if anyone has still gotten pregnant after using Plan B?

im not sayin im pregnant or anything. i just wanted to know because i forgot. haha

and how do you do it?

my last normal period was on the 13th of june. im not sure how long my cycle lasts but i havent gotten my period again. my boyfriend went in me like 3 times but did not orgasm in me (we both did not use any birth control and he literally just went in and out three times and kinda just stayed there. also one of the times there might have been dry semen on his penis). neither of us have any diseases or anything but im worried im pregnant. this was on the 5th of july. ive only felt a little tired a bit more hungry and today i got really nauseated. im so afraid i'm pregnant. should i get a test (if so will it be accurate)? ive been very stressed lately and i just want to know if i could possibly be pregnant...? im only 16 i cant even drive yet and i really dont want anyone to know. do i just go to the doctors office to get a test?

My Doctor is worried because my placenta is just above my cervix and i have to get another ultrasound done between 30-34 wks if it isn't up by than i have to get a c section. what are the risks im so scared i dont know what to do im only 22wks pregnant

I am 17 and my period is not normal at all.... I went like almost a year without having one then i had one in may but it was really light and it was only for like 2 days... it was more like spotting... Can someone tell me why this is happening?I have never been to the doctor about it.... Everyone tells me i need birth control to regulate it but i dont want them to do the pap on me... what do i need to do... I am still a virgin so i know im not pregnant..... Someone help me plz

I work a full time job, Been working there for 2 years & I had to call in the other day for a bad back ache. I'm 5 months pregnant and have been having them on and off along the way. It's normal for this to be going on..But the other day When I called in I was told to bring a doctors excuse for only 1 day. When I was hired I was told after 3 days . Now they telling me 1 day cause a lady I work with saw me at the drug store and turned me in. (Which I dont think was her business). What is the exact way to handle this? I didnt go to the doc. I just took it easy for the day..Now I'm not sure if I'm in trouble. What should I do?

i wiped myself 6 times and nothing came out anymore it stopped. i had no cramping or back pain. during that time i felt nauseous but didnt throw up. wat could it be? tommorrow ill be going to my prenatal care appointment. i prayed to god that everything is fine cuz im scared to loose my baby.

Recently i had unprotected sex about a week ago but he pulled out way before yeah i know its dumb but he had to jack himself off to c*m so it wasnt like he pulled out right before. My period is due Tomorrow and im getting this white and clear discharge. Can i be pregnant? I took a first response test on Tuesday and it came out negative. Help please! Im just kind of scared.

okay so my boyfriend and i had sex for the first time 2 days ago.... and we used a condom and i am also on birth control... everything was fine he didn't even finish inside...(sorry graphic but i need confirmation and answers here ) i'm still deciding if i want to continue with school for another year and he has another year of college left also.... we're 21 and 20, and i can't be pregnant right now. we used every protection we could have really.... were very careful anyone had this before and can shed some light on my predicament since its all i can think about now thanks

i am 37 weeks pregnant and have a very tight stomac and very mild pain, i have dull back pain that carries on down my legs espcially at night when i am in bed, loose bowels and snot like discharge sorry tmi i also need to pee every 10 mins i have felt baby drop down does all this mean i am due to go in labour very soon ???

Could I be pregnant? I hate to be disappointed again. My husband and I have been TTC for approx six months. I have been paying attention to fertile times and just going by that to hopefully conceive. In May my period was 4 days late and a neg on the preg test. Last month my period was light to start and late, Now I am spotting again but truly something seems to have changed. I have not taken a pregnancy test since May. My periods are usually heavy and long what is going on am I pregnant??

I am experiencing nausea, heartburn, sore breast and other symptons but i am not having a lot of discharge if any at all. Is this normal? I have had several positive pregnancy test since last Saturday including another one yesterday afternoon. Just want to make sure this is normal.

i'm 28 weeks pregnant and cant decide on names. Please tell me which one you like best and least (will help me omit some :) You can also throw in a suggestion.
