20 and Terrified
Find a Conversation
| Fri, 12-07-2007 - 12:00am |
This is the first time I've posted here so I don't really know how this works. The only thing I know is that I have to talk to someone, someone who isn't biased towards the situation. I am terrified out of my mind and I need another perspective, an honest opinion based on facts. Here is the run down:
-I just turned 20 years old
-I am not currently dating this guy anymore, but we occasionally have sex
-Last period 10/31 through 11/06
-Had sex with this same guy on 11/14
-I'm not on BC and he pulled out (STUPID, I know, trust me, I know)
-Should have gotten period around 12/03, 12/04, somewhere in there
-It is now 12/06 and NO PERIOD
-I am never dead on with starting my period, but it is always around 26, 27 days between periods
-I am in college so we have finals coming up, but I'm not really stressing over them
-12/01 spotted once (seriously, just like two drops on TP)
-12/03 spotted once (a little heavier, but stopped within ten minutes)
-12/04 spotted once (a little on TP)
WHAT IS THIS??? I am freaking out, which is probably not helping with the whole stress-level-throwing-off-period thing. I can NOT be pregnant. I mean that. This would be one of the worst things in the world at this point in my life.
I've been doing a lot of research and, I don't know. I've got mixed thoughts about whether I am pregnant or not!!
My boobs aren't sore or sensitive or fuller, I haven't been nauseous in so long I can't remember, I am not going to the bathroom any more than usual, my temperature hasn't risen, I haven't gained weight (although, I would only be less than a month along so this isn't really an issue), my sense of smell hasn't gotten more sensitive, I haven't been dizzy or fatigued, I don't have odd cravings for things I don't eat or repulsion from things I do eat, if anything, my food intake has gone down (due to worrying about this and because of lack of time between classes)..
Everything logical, looking at those things I just said, indicates that I am NOT preggers, but...I've missed my period by days now (more days than is normal), and I am spotting. I have never, NEVER spotted before, so that is very unusual.
I seriously need some help because I am FREAKING out, out of my MIND. Please, please, please help me!!!

First of all, when all conditions are perfect, you have about a 20% chance of conception on any given cycle.
I am a 25 day cycle girl. I've been charting for more than a year and it has never been off, until last month when it was 10 days late. It happens, and for no reason. I'm sending you AF vibes as well! I wish you the best!
I agree with everyone else, you should definitely take a test. You could be or you could very well not be pg. You said you were under a lot of stress right now---sometimes that can delay or affect your period and make it irregular. Whatever the outcome, I wish you lots of luck. Keep us informed!
so...just keeping you updated on this mess
It is day 5 or 6 of having no period and, while I am much more calmed down about the whole issue, I am also still freaking out internally.
I still haven't had any symptoms. No nausea, no breast swelling or soreness, no headaches, no changes in my apatite, no mood changes..NOTHING like that
And I haven't spotted since the day before I wrote this first post, which was like three days ago or something like that.
BUT I also still haven't gotten my period yet either!! GRR. I know I just need to take a hpt but I am so scared to do that, and I know like everyone that works at every drug and grocery store in this itty bitty town, so that would be awkward (really not an important issue here, I know).
