Dear whoever that will read my message,
I am suspecting that i may be preg but im not sure and ever since the day i "had sex" i have been worried and searching everywhere online to give me some sort of clue as to wat im feeling...i didnt use any protection.
abt 4 days after my period was over i started experiencing weird changes in my body, it started with a lot of discharge more than i usually get and it looks creamy, thick n a very very light shade of yellow(more off-white) in appearance and im guessing its called cervical mucus. then a few days later i also noticed spotting in my underwear n i still have a little bit on random days. for some reason i felt like my breasts hav gotten bigger like chunkier sort of, they feel more full to the touch and when i pressed the nipples to check for pain they also felt a tinnie-bit sore. i have been feeling bloated n been having gas since a few days and now after reading some of the messages on the message board i noticed that i too hav been eating a lot lately n drinking a lot of water i feel thirsty all the time n i go to the restroom more often than usual. also when i hav to pee it gets so bad i cant hold it at all. im tired all the time n sleepy n i felt like throwing up a couple of times but sensation is very mild my head hurts a lot but it always hurts so that might not even be a new thing basically i jus feel sic in the stomach. another thing i noticed with my vagina same time when the discharge started is that its sort of swollen when i feel inside in the vaginal canal it seems to be swollen up like its full of blood or had absorbed a lot of liquid(maybe from my discharge) and if i stick my finger deeper the area is mushy and soft and wet as if its like a cushion which made me think that the uteran lining had gotten thicker but its not possible for me to feel the uterus, is it? also wat exactly is nausea(to women who hav felt it before)?
i may hav a lot more symptoms but i cant think of wat more i have been feeling lately..my period is due on the 25th of nov so i hav thought of testing around the 21st(4days before) to get an early result. if u hav any suggestions pls let me know..
i really appreciate those of u who will take the time to read my long paragraph and respond to my questions...pls keep in mind that im only an 18 yr old...thanks again

It's hard to say. Those SOUND like pregnancy symptoms, but it's a little early to be getting them, especially if you have regular periods and sex would have occured very early in your cycle.
Are your periods regular? And more importantly, was your last period "normal"? By that I mean, like they usually are. No difference in amount of flow or cramping, etc? Because with all those signs, it'd make more sense if you conceived during the last cycle. Or was that the first time you had sex?
Sorry for all the questions, but while the symptoms add up, the math is a little funky.
Good luck! I'm kinda new at this myself. First pregnancy, due in May.

my periods have been very regular since the beginning of this year...but last month well i was almost 20 days late for no reason whatsoever(i havnt been active for months now)...i dont exactly remember if my cramps were any diff but i did notice that i usually bleed for 5 to 6 days n last time it stopped around the 4th day so i thought i was done but then it started again on the next day with a decent amount...wat i was worried abt is that is it possible i had 2eggs come in at once n one broke n the other was still there waiting to be fertilized when i "had sex"(it wasnt really sex becuz there was no penetration but im pretty sure that his semen got absorbed into my vagina but i was also on my pd so chances of pg are unlikely) im jus very confused and scared...i need accurate results and i dont even know when to test so im jus going to do with first response abt 4 days before my expected pd this month...does that sound ok? or should i do it earlier or later? im open to any suggestions...
I'd say test on the 21st for sure (only a week!) and you should be safe with the result. I'd agree that pregnancy sounds unlikely given the timing, and if you didn't have sex last month then you're probably safe. The symptoms sound too pronounced to be the result of being pregnant for just over a week. (Taking into account implantation, etc.)
Good luck! If you're cycle was that far off last month, it could just be your hormones playing tricks on you.

i really feel relieved after hearing this from u..cuz everyone else on this board pretty much told me that my symptoms sound like im preg but when u take my cycle into account, like u did, u would see that there r also other possibilities..and that pregnancy is not the only place all this leads..so thanks, ur advice was appreciated...
