Tuesday I started having very strong feelings that I was pregnant.
I have been extremely tired lately, haven't had my period yet (but I don't really trust that...more latter) my breasts are a little tender, I have felt a little nauseous, loss of appetite, loss of libido, and have been really gassy (is that a symptom? Its not mentioned anywhere really, but it has just recently started).
A little background that might help and that generates most of my confusion. I have always had extremely horrible periods and I guess about a year ago or so started getting really bad pains during ovulation also. After talking with a doctor about this I was told I needed to be on birth control that doing so would stop ovulation therefore stop pain. I informed her that I've had really issues with birth control in the past, ie, really bad depression and thrombosis. So she gave me progesterone only pills. After 6 months on these I was still having the same problems, I was told to wait about this long to see if anything changes. My job makes it difficult to go to the doctor, I don't really like going anyways so when I was talking to people about what's going on a friend of mine gave me some cream to try. After about a month of using the cream I was feeling so much better, hardly cramping at all, lighter periods, and several of the smaller problems I was having were improving also. However, the 2nd month of using the cream and taking the pills I started having irregular periods, I would start bleeding if I was an hour late taking my pill in the morning and not stop for a week or two. After a month or so of this it has started to get back to normal. Just when I thought I was going to have a regular period (May 3rd or 4th) nothing has happened. Just the notion I'm pregnant and the other symptoms.
I've read from people on here and other places that the cream, which is supposed to help the body make more progesterone can cause pregnancy symptoms. Does anyone know if this is true and how long it would take? Also, when is it beneficial to try a pregnancy test? Should I go back to taking the pills when the time for my period is over? Would taking a contraceptive unknowingly during pregnancy cause any problems?
I thank anyone with any information to share. And anyone who takes the time to read all my babbling.
