Open Question: I am 17 weeks pregnant and am having trouble breathing!!?
(Fri, 12 Mar 2010 03:31:43 GMT)
My nose is completely stuffed up, I am breathing out of my mouth now, and I am constantly out of breathe. I have been told and have read this is normal, but no one else I know who has been pregnant have ever had this.
What can I do to feel better? I am now getting sinus headaches from being so stuffed up.

Open Question: Possibly Pregnant...Please share your story if you have one!?
(Fri, 12 Mar 2010 03:12:34 GMT)
I'm at least 17 days late. I'm the typical 28 day cycle and on time. I already have three children and not looking to get pregnant again so there's really no hype about it. I took MANY pregnancy tests and they all say negative. When I was pregnant with my 3 children, it showed up right away and I showed pretty early. I can't figure this one out. I'm sick EVERYDAY and I have the same pregnancy symptoms. I feel kind of stupid to go in and demand an ultrasound, but about 3 weeks late is silly. I only get migraines when I'm pregnant as well. I had 2 now. If anyone could share a story about false negatives or pregnancies not showing up on tests until later, PLEASE SHARE! Also, how should I approach my OB/GYN about this. I feel really weird about this since it's out of the norm. THANKS in advance!

Open Question: Why do I always want to have sex?
(Thu, 11 Mar 2010 22:40:25 GMT)
My boyfriend and I have been having a sexual relationship for about 5 or 6 months now (been together for a little over a year) and I LOVE IT! Ha ha. Is that a bad thing though? I'm 17 years old and I don't know if it's okay for us to be "doing it" on a regular basis. Is it okay that we have sex 3-4 times a week. We always use protection so getting pregnant doesn't really bother me, but seriously I think about it like 5-7 times a day :/

Open Question: My cycle length changed is this normal?
(Thu, 11 Mar 2010 21:29:17 GMT)
Ive had my periods on the same date every month since they started until last december they suddenly changed. They were exactly 4 weeks long so they always came on the same date every month eg. jan 1st, Feb 1st, march 1st etc.! But lately since december they changed and are now exactly 2 weeks later than my due date. These are the dates Oct 1st, Nov 1st, December 7th, January 17th, March 1st. Its really confusing me because im trying to conceive since last November and im not sure when I ovulate and if my periods being so messed up are affect me not falling pregnant? Any ideas?

Open Question: Is my girl friend pregnant ? new details...?
(Thu, 11 Mar 2010 20:11:47 GMT)
Alright i love repeating this over and over again but it's very stange situation. So my girlfriend and I dry humped on the 14th of feb it got intense my penis and boxers came out of my pants but my penis was in my boxers i did pre cum before it came out and probably before as well, she had all her clothes on. my penis was rubbing against her clitoris area. We didnt do it for long, also shes on birth control... So on the 17th same month she went to the doctors and said her stomach kind of hurt so she switch birth control pills. Her period was late a couple days because of stress from me thinking she could be pregnant and also shes been running alot lately. But her period was normal and everything no brown colours. Since the beginning of the week before shes been complaining about stomach pains all over and she cant even stand up there so bad. Last piece of information this morning she said she woke up and had a brownish red coloured discharge like really small mabye size of a tear drop and thats all, what is going on with her? is a month to late to do anything to get rid of the sperm?

Open Question: What to eat while pregnant?
(Thu, 11 Mar 2010 18:42:43 GMT)
I'm already 17 weeks and have been trying my best to eat healthy, but I don't think i'm getting everything I'm supposed to. I hardly ever want to eat meat now for some reason, never sounds good, so i'm concerned with protein for example. How many grams is a pregnant woman supposed to consume? I've been eating some deviled eggs recently, but i'm not sure how much protein they have. Also water intake. Ugh, never seems like I can get myself to drink what I should. I drink about 30-40 oz a day, then a couple glasses of milk and a glass of V8 splash, and sometimes I have a sprite everyother day. Overall does anyone know of the breakdown of how many grams/servings we're supposed to eat everyday or know of a website that lists it all?
*I'm 5'4" and started at 118 lbs, currently at about 122.5 (intake depends on the size of the person right?)

Open Question: possibility of being pregant? please help!?
(Thu, 11 Mar 2010 18:01:35 GMT)
i haven't had a period since december. in january me and my ex had sex, we both kinda had a buzz(big mistake i know) after i missed my period in january i told my ex he went off on me and told me to keep my mouth shut because he wore a condom and that i was probably "knocked up" from one of my "other guys" i took a test and it was negative. so i didn't worry then in feb. i started gettin cramps and thought my period was coming, my boobs got really sore n stuff too. after feb 12th went by and still no period i finally took another test and it too was negative. i started to get constipated (srry tmi lol) n getting really worried so i asked my ex again if he was sure the condmo didn't break he got pissed off again and told me to leave him and his girl alone, (he cheated on her with me in jan. so i think he just might not wanna tell me if the condom broke, thinking it would break him and her up if i were pregnant) if i am pregnant i'd be about 8 weeks.. i started getting alot more hungry a couple weeks ago and these past few days i've been soo tired.i go to bed at 10 and sleep till like 10 30 the next day. i still haven't started my period. i was thinking about going to the doctor, but i would have to tell my mom then because i'm only 17. (please don't judge me or leave any rude comments because of my age, if i am pregnant, i will not abort the baby and i will raise it with the help of my parents to get through school) i haven't been on bc, and all my periods are usually reg. please give me some advice!
thank you all so much for your advice!! it really helps in reassuring me. :)

Open Question: Doctor confirmed 9 weeks pregnant?
(Thu, 11 Mar 2010 14:45:43 GMT)
I was getting worried about being pregnant again as I am only 17 so I went to the doctor and he confirmed it. I have already made up my mind and I am going to keep the baby as I don't believe in abortion and I couldn't live with myself if I put the baby into adoption. The baby will be loved no matter what :) So I am just wondering, why have I not had any morning sickness or any signs that I am pregnant? I had sickness, headaches, bad back and my moods where all over the place with my first so I am worrying now :(?

Open Question: Could I be pregnant or anticipating my menstrual? I have been spotting for 4 days now,. No heavy bleeding...?
(Thu, 11 Mar 2010 14:39:33 GMT)
what so ever. I've never done this before. My last cycle was on 2/15/2010 and I had unprotected sex on 2/22/2010. Now according to my own calculations my cycle is not due to around the 17th or so this month. But I've taken 3 urine pregnancy test and 1 blood test. They all where negative. But my breast are tender, sometimes they are real tender, and about a week ago I felt this weird feeling in my uterus. So did I take the test to early or what? Please help me out, I'm so confused right now.

Open Question: pregnant with relationship problems?
(Thu, 11 Mar 2010 14:33:32 GMT)
i am 8 months pregnant ( maybe a little hormonal, okay maybe alot) i don't need stress in my life especially because it's high risk. but here is my problem and maybe im being selfish but , for the last atleast 2 months my fiance ( we have been living together for the last 2 years) has been doing nothing but making plans to go away for weekends after the baby is born, im not talking about just once in a while it's like he has booked up almost every weekend this summer to go away without me and the baby. anything he has made plans to do has excluded us ( camping, concerts). well last night i blew up at him. he did it again. my c-section is booked for april 15th ( which is major abdominal surgery) i get out of the hospital on the 17th with baby ( first day home) well last night he decided he is going to a concert the evening of the 17th and then going to the bar with his buddy afterwards. i got extremely upset about it. i told him what i thought, i t feels like even though baby isn't born yet i will be raising baby on my own. of all nights to make plans he does it my first night home with the baby... i told him that i would rather be single and that way he can do what he wants
when he wants. he didn't say to much the only thing he ask is when he would be able to see his daughter and i told him whenever he wanted, i ended up sleeping on the couch and we havent
spoken since. it's not like we are 2 teenagers , i am 30 and he is turning 35. we have 2 other children( from previous relationships) i just don't know what to do, should i stay with him and be upset and just deal with it or should we just go our separate ways? oh and his birthday is coming up in 2 weeks.. i know it's not his problem it's mine but im stuck at home on bed rest but he has made plans to go out with his buddy to see a comedian and go to the bar. this is the first time he has done this in the last 5 years. so yet again not including me . maybe it's just me but it makes me really sad that all of a sudden it seems like he just doesn't want me around. i also told him what bothers me the most is that he keeps making all these plans and excluding me and not once has he suggested that after baby is born we do something together as a family or even suggest we do anything as a couple. he didn't say anything.
any advice would help, am i just being stupid or would anyone else feel the same way i do??

Open Question: 2 weeks after unprotected sex, pregnant?
(Thu, 11 Mar 2010 13:02:28 GMT)
Okay, nearly 2 weeks ago i had unprotected sex with my boyfriend (i know it was stupid, but it happened and we cant change that now). the last week i have been feeling really tired, stuffy nose, needing the toilet a lot more than usual (but half the time when i get to a toilet, i really dont need to go anymore??), been over emotional about everything and had bad cramps.
now i know it should be wayyyyy too early to even notice if i was pregnant, but i still cant help but think, all these things are symptoms of pregnancy.
i had my last period starting on the 17th of februrary, and i know most hpt wont be accurate until the time iv missed my period.
i just want to know if its possible to tell and notice pregnancy symptoms this early, or if im just creating this all in my head.
and also, is it possible that if i was pregnant and took a home test, would it show up positive this early, maybe?

Open Question: HORRIBLE MOTHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?
(Thu, 11 Mar 2010 08:39:07 GMT)
ok i just want to see if you guys think im overreacting about my mom.
she claims shes been pregnant for 2 years 'cause "god told her she is"
all she does is sleep 14 hours a day then get on facebook/farmville, not joking, she doesn't leave the house or even leave her chair except to vaccum(e?) the house ussually 2 or 3 times a day,
she hasn't cooked in weeks,
she has a woman paid to clean the house once a week 'cause she's "too busy/stressed" (wtf)
she makes my 6 year old sis and 10 year old bro sleep 14/16 hours so they "won't bother her"
she took my older brother and i out of public school when i was in 2nd grade (i'm 14 now)
now she "homeschools" us, i know for a fact that my little siblings haven't TOUCHED their school books in over a year,
my little brother is about 4'9 tall and only 50 lbs cause she doesnt make him eat, if he doesnt like it,
both of the little ones sleep in her bed with her every night (i thought 6 was stretching it?)
her parents hate her and wont see us anymore cause every time they talk she SHOVES religion down their throats (as she does to everyone else too)
my 6 year old sis is still in diapers
my little brother nursed untill he was 5
she "spanked" my older brother untill he was 17 yrs old,
i'm worried about my little brother and sister...they have zero friends and will never be able to go to college or do anything with their lives cause she doesnt make them do their school work and they won't get diplomas........
(sorry for the spelling/grammer i'm tired.)
anyway, do you think she's a bad mom? what should i do?
i cry all the time cause i wish i had a life/friends :/
&& i'm not allowed to date, i know that's not a big deal cause alot of kids my age arent either (though they all do :p)
i'm like, not allowed to date EVER, she says im supposed to live with her untill i "find a husband when youre at least 25" (i dont want to get married thank you, she got a complete 1950's mindsetting)
she says dating is of the devil? how the fuck am i supposed to "find a husband" i dont want to what so ever but i dont understand her logic? honestly i've writen i hate mom all over my journals since i was 8 years old :/ so i dout (spelling, sorry) that it's a teenage "i hate my parents" thing
@logan
haha no sadly this is real,
and erm i said she sleeps that much, i dont :p
@mr warrior,
uhm, technicly, my dad pays for the internet, (could you not tell she doesnt have a job if all she does is sleep?)
anddd bahaha NO actually the school taught me how to read k-2nd grade? and i've tought myself to type, e.e thanks

Open Question: im 17 is it pregnancy or kidney stones?
(Thu, 11 Mar 2010 08:36:14 GMT)
So I've noticed my last 2 periods that I've gotten UTI's however the first one my period cut a day and a half short. and this one was just barely spotting for about 2 days. not even. I'm not on birthcontrol so that's not it and i have no idea why. But ive been getting lower back pains (theyve been gone for about 2 days) but i still get them when i wake up but when i move aroud im okay. I have horrible nausea like i can sit for hours waiting to puke but nothing happens. im either starving or cant look at food. im peeing more often but that could be from the UTI. although it doesnt hurt anymroe. my body aches, i have major headaches and im constipated but when i have a bowel movement its quite more then normal. i drink more water but am still pretty bloated. my boobs arent tender but my nipples are just a tad.i get dizzy, light headed, short of breath & I've also been quite nasal congested. but i have no cold sypmtoms. any idea what it might be? could i be pregnant? could it be kidney stones? anything combined?
also i've had cramping thats like a 6 or 7 on scale of 1-10 in my lower abdomin that happens for about 2-3 days a week. what could that be? ANY suggestions is very much appreciate thanks! <3
***MORE***
Yes I could I have had unprotected sex in january and beginning of feb. He pulled out however i recently heard of pre ejaculation. & now there's no love without the glove. but my period was due the 23 and came on the 26 but likei said it was mild spotting. that lasted about 2 days. i took a test on the 4th and it came up positive on a stick test but when i took a digital it came up "Not Pregnant". The line on the first one was lighter but just as thick. could it just have been my imagination?would it be too early to tell? should i take another if i miss another period?

Open Question: Who is most likely the father?
(Thu, 11 Mar 2010 05:11:37 GMT)
I had sex with guy A on Jan 15th through 17th, while on my period. My period started the 14th, but my period was very light, and I was spotting. Before that weekend we had sex on Jan. 5th and we always pull out. Guy B is my ex who took advantage of me while drunk at a friends party on Jan. 30. And I took a test feb. 13th and got a positive. My mom said it couldn't be guy B's baby because a woman takes 4 weeks to produce hcg and I could have already been pregnant by guy A. Any help figuring out which guy is the dad?

Open Question: How do I tell my parents that I'm pregnant?
(Thu, 11 Mar 2010 05:03:22 GMT)
I am 16, almost 17, and I found out today that I am about 8 weeks pregnant. The father is a very good friend of mine...we had a "sporadic romantic encounter" when I was at his house. I've told him and he says he will support me no matter what. I do not want to get an abortion. My parents know I really want a family, and I've told them that I don't want to start one until I'm at least 25, but they'll think that I did it deliberately. How can I let them know that this was not planned?

Open Question: I am 17 and i want a baby. (no mean comments please)?
(Thu, 11 Mar 2010 05:01:20 GMT)
I am a junior in high school and i have been with my boyfriend for almost 2 years now he is 18. I am in a program called Independent study, i go to school once a week and earn my credits and i am positive i will be graduating normally with my class. I am very responsible and i have talked to my boyfriend about it and he is very supportive of the idea. In many cases i want this baby because it would be a beautiful thing and just bring so much joy into my family. My boyfriend has a stable job bringing in almost 2000 dollars a month and i think it would be an all around good thing. Other than the fact my grandmother and his mom tell him to not get me pregnant but we no for a fact that if i did they'd be upset but only for a short period of time. I just wanted peoples experience and such. Also i am in no need of having a wanna be fun time with friends to go party and drink. I never wanted to go to prom and i think having a child would definitely, if it ever crossed my mind, prevent wanting to drink or do drugs.

Resolved Question: My wife is pregnant and they're making her use her vacation days on doctor appointments?
(Thu, 11 Mar 2010 04:56:02 GMT)
My wife and I have had our vacation planned since the beginning of the year. We're going down to North Carolina with the rest of my family for my cousins graduation gift. As soon as we knew we were going we put in our vacation requests at work. She was approved for her paid vacation time but we never realized that they were using her paid vacation time on her doctors appointments for her pregnancy. They're aware that she's pregnant and that she's going to her doctors appointments. She can't get on FMLA until July and now only has 8 1/2 hours of vacation time left.
Now they're telling her that she won't be able to take the time off for our vacation when we're suppost to go in less then a month... well technically they told her that she can only take one day of vacation (8 hours) and then it's back to work. They gave her 3 incurrence's already (written up) for missing work because of emergency room visits from complications of the pregnancy. The company doesn't have sick days but something called "personal days" where you have to tell them in advance if you're going to taking one. Only problem with that is that they give you an incurrence if you do that and if you have 5 in a calender year you get fired.
Now we don't know what to do because we told my family that we're going on this vacation and we have our reservations all set and everything but my wife doesn't want to get fired for going on this vacation that was already pre-approved. We're thinking that she should just get fired from work and get on unemployment until the baby is born (she's 17 weeks). Any suggestions on what to do? Is she being treated unfairly?
She never asked for her appointments to be paid, she told them what days her appointments were and they've been taking her hours from her vacation time.
Her ob is about a hour away (family doctor) and he's not there on the weekends, the days she has off, and they'd be closed by the time she gets there if she left right after work. They try to schedule an ultrasound on the same day (because of the drive) in which she'd miss the whole day at work.
So far she's missed:
8 hours - emergency room: really bad pains in her uterus where she couldn't walk
8 hours - first ob/ultrasound: follow up after the ER. Ob didn't take long but waited forever at the hospital for the ultrasound
4 hours - ob appointment after the ultrasound; discovered that she has a bicornuate uterus which explained the pain that felt like she was being ripped apart
3.5 hours - regular ob appointment
4 hours - 2nd ultrasound
4 hours - ob appointment
She's willing to make up the time but they won't let her

I'll be 11dpo tomorrow... I'm going to force myself not to test til ATLEAST Friday morning.
Dr gave me a urine test today (10dpo) and it wasn't concentrated urine at all.. and the nurse agreed with me it could still be way too early to tell. Period due 16th/17th... we're not exactly "trying".. but... I bawled my eyes out when yet ANOTHER lady tonight at church announced she was pregnant. They're stinking EVERYWHERE! I have friends (virgins til married!) married 02/13/10 & got pregnant quite possibly that night. She's due in NOvember.
here is what their site says...
"Pregnancy Tests and hCG Values
The pregnancy tests on the market today range widely in their sensitivity in picking up the pregnancy hormone, hCG. In the chart below, the lower the number in the "hCG Detected" column, the earlier you can use the pregnancy tests. As a general rule, hCG levels, if you are pregnant, are between 5 - 50 mIU a week before your period is due. The hCG levels in your system should double every two to three days.
Please remember that every woman is different and the time it takes for the fertilized egg to implant in your uterus wall can vary. A common misconception is that implantion occurs 7 days after conception, but the research findings showed that first appearance of HCG (implantation) occurred 6-12 days after ovulation, with 84% of the pregnancies implanting on days 8-10 after ovulation. If you don't get a positive pregnancy test, it doesn't necessarily mean that you are not pregnant. It could be that you ovulated later than you thought (meaning that conception and subsequent hCG production didn't happen as when you expected) or that, for you, implantation took longer than the average. Your period arriving is a sign that you are not pregnant this cycle, as is a negative blood test from your doctor.
Is a super sensitive pregnancy test the best to use?
For most women, the resounding answer would be YES! It allows you to know earlier if your attempts to conceive were sucessful and get medical care as soon as possible. There *is* a down side to extra sensitive pregnancy tests though. 25% of all pregnancies unfortunately end in miscarriage and many of these being very early pregnancies. If you use a very sensitive pregnancy test, where you test before the day your period is due, you could catch an early pregnancy but end up going on to have your period anyway due to a very early miscarriage. Some women will find it very hard to deal with this sort of emotional rollercoaster."

Open Question: When will my pregnant belly start to show? Pictures included.?
(Thu, 11 Mar 2010 02:35:26 GMT)
I am 10 weeks pregnant as of today. I am a very tiny girl. I am 17 and yes this was planned, no mistake. And these are our engagement pictures. I am only 5'4" and weigh about 107 well did I am about 117 now. But I am curious to when the pregnant belly is really going to show? And also, at what week do you find out the sex of the baby? I've heard anywhere from 8-16 weeks depending on the ultrasound pictures.
These are all before I was pregnant:

I graduate High School in 2 months. And since it is so hard to finish because I have really bad morning sickness, I am being sent home bound to do all my work at home so I can graduate with good grades. I will have the whole summer to go to college because my baby's due in november. It takes me 6 months to become a certified massage therapist (: and my fiance is going into the army. so we're good. it should'nt matter my age, in the old day's if you were'nt 13 and pregnant, you were doing something wrong. GET OVER IT! at least i'm engaged and doing it the right way!

Open Question: I need advice quick, I dont know how much more of this i can take.?
(Wed, 10 Mar 2010 23:13:41 GMT)
So im 10 weeks pregnant and my ex boyfriend is still ignoring me and talking about me behind my back. Im in high school and I think a majority of the problem is people telling him things that are not true. I can't really talk to him in person because hes always with his friends, and they make him act different. So im going to txt him, but I dont know what to say. Can someone please help me come up with something to tell him, to make him understand I need him. We have been arguing alot, and Ive gave him space. I just dont think I can make it much longer without him. Hes only 17 so hes taking this really hard and his coping mechanism is shutting people out.
My friends and family are against me having this baby. I just feel really alone, and no matter what I do I can't stop thinking about him.
My mom has tried talking to his mom. Now whenever me or her tries to call his mom won't answer the phone.

Open Question: Am i likely to be pregnant?
(Wed, 10 Mar 2010 23:04:12 GMT)
My boyfriend and I (both 17) had sex for the first time (were virgins before) and the condom split so he removed his penis straight away.
the following morning i took the morning after pill.
because my periods are irregular (every 6-8 weeks for 3-4 days) i would have to wait a long time to see for certain if i was pregant, Although saying his i have rapidly put on a small amount of weight and have been feeling very tired and have had headaches for the first time in years.
Although it is early to tell for certain what is the likelyhood of me being pregant?

Open Question: Safe to play tennis when 17 weeks pregnant?
(Wed, 10 Mar 2010 16:37:32 GMT)
I'm 17 weeks pregnant, not real big or anything, and was thinking about going out to play some tennis and throw a basketball around. I don't plan on having an intense game of either, just hitting the ball back and forth, enjoying the weather. Would it be safe as long as I don't really run??

Open Question: Is my due date correct?
(Wed, 10 Mar 2010 16:17:23 GMT)
Supposedly I'm 33 weeks and 4 days pregnant... Due April 24th..I kept track of my periods so I know that the first day of my last period was July 2nd. Which based on a 28 day cycle I can't remember exactly but I though was April 8th... When I told the nurse my last period she said I must have had a light period after July 2nd. I didn't argue with her but know I didn't have a light period...at a different dr appt I asked the doctor if my due date was way off because my period is about 7 days long ... And around 38-40 day cycle. I ovulate on the 16th or 17th day of my cycle... She just said yes.. I'm just wondering if with that information would my due date really be pushed back to April 24th instead of atleast the middle of April? The baby has measured about a week or 2 ahead lately.. My very first appointment where I was supposedly around 8 weeks the baby only measured 5 wks and 5 days.. I'm just wondering if anbody can help me out with the math...

Open Question: Missed a birth control pill and now two missed periods?
(Wed, 10 Mar 2010 15:33:17 GMT)
Ok... I asked this question before but I have a little more detail to add that might hopefully get some more results/answers... Ok so my period was supposed to come around valentines day shortly after so on Feb 15th my period hadn't came yet so I decided to have sex unprotected after I had missed my pill the previous week... I know BAD idea but it happened. So ever since then... no period. My last period was around Jan 14th-17th somewhere around there. I'd like to think it's just my pills messing with my period but I'm unsure. I have been under stress this past month with moving out of my parents house and a huge fight with my mom so could the stress be causing the missed periods? And if so, then why did I miss the first period? Also, could the environmental change be causing this from me moving into a different house with different people? I know no one on here can give me a specific diagnosis but any help would be appreciated. :-) Have a great day!
P.S. My cousin also thought it could be due to my birth control just stopping my periods but I've never had that happen before I'm on a regular birth control called Necon 1/35. Also I feel like my period is coming because I have lower back cramps and I feel something coming out but when I go to the bathroom it's just clear discharge (not smelly). If I am pregnant, how far along would I be if I had sex on Feb 15th? Thanks for all the advice and your time. Have a nice day :)
Also, my cousin says I would be showing now if I am... I notice some bloating but nothing major. But it is still there when I wake up before I even eat anything but it could be bloating from not having a period for 2 months?

Resolved Question: People think my daughters middle name is tacky?
(Wed, 10 Mar 2010 15:09:20 GMT)
We picked her name when I was 17 weeks pregnant, aswell as the name she would of had if she was a boy.
Her full name is Elodie Scarlett Clayforth-Kean
People think we picked her name the day she was born, and don't believe we picked it so early.
They tell us it was tacky and not very nice to give the name Scarlett when shes a Red-head.
I of course tell them where to stick their opinion lol,
But do you think its tacky?
&
Have people given unwanted rude opinions on names you like?

Open Question: Bad cramps, Typical signs, No period?
(Wed, 10 Mar 2010 14:31:04 GMT)
I'm really worried. All night last night, and this morning, I've been having very bad stomach cramps. I took some ibuprofen a few minutes ago, and that helped slightly. I barely slept last night due to the pain. I think this may be just a stomach ache, but I'm not sure. Last month, in February, my period didn't come. The last period I had was January 17 - January 23. I had rather heavy bleeding, and minor cramps. There's NO chance that I'm pregnant. Also, I had the flu a few weeks ago, and took nyquil for it. I went to the doctor, but she said not to worry. Any idea what may be wrong? (Also, excuse my grammar today. As I said, I barely slept.)
Also, I'm about average weight, possibly a few pounds extra, nothing big though. My periods usually come every month, sometimes twice since I'm very irregular.
