hey!! i'm new here and i just have a quick question. i had unprotected sex with my boyfriend about 2 weeks ago. my period isn't due for a week. thing is, since then, i've felt really crampy and bloated, and kind of sick. it feels almost like i'm due to start my period. then the other day i spotted a bit, but it wasn't normal spotting. i'd really like some advice bc i don't know what to do. i went into the school clinic and got a test done and it came out negative. but i still feel crampy. any advice for me?

those are some early signs of PG....but if you are you may have to wait for awhile before you can test and no for sure....do you normally feel that way when AF is about to come on too?

well, it maybe a sign that you are....i'm the same way...i have those symptoms right before AF is going to come on....AF was due yesterday for me...but nothing yet...i've been having light cramping, but that's it....i've taken 3 tests in the last week....got negative every time...so i'm going to test tomorrow....you have to wait it out like most of us on here and see what happens....it takes awhile for it to show on a HPT if you sre PG sometimes....do you want a child right now?

i'm 19 and in university. so no, having a child wouldn't be my first choice. but at least i have a supportive bf. i'm just worried that i'm getting all worked up for nothing, and being a student nurse, i know that sometimes nerves and stress can affect your cycle. but i'm still scared.

yeah having a child @ a young age and being in school can be tough....but like you said @ least you do have a supportive BF...that makes things a lot easier....being on edge can throw you off like you said and i'm hoping that i haven't done that to myself either....just try to relax...hard as it maybe.....and wait about another week if possible and test again....i'm about to run to the store now to get a test....

well, i talked to my bf about everything. although we had talked b4 about what would happen if i did get pg, i never told him i might actually be. he was amazing about it. he told me he would stay with me and would never hurt me. he also said we should hold off on sex until after i get my next period. i am feeling much better about things. but i still feel sick. this morning i was in the shower and i got really dizzy and nauseus. i'm nervous bc i do have a lot of signs. the big one is my period which comes next week (hopefully). doesn't help that i worked it out and i was ovulating the time we made our mistake. anyways, i'll keep u posted. it's nice to have someone i can talk to and be honest with.

well at least now you know how he feels about the issue....seems like a good guy you have....as far as throwing the "what if" senerio....nice work...just to see what he thinks....so he has no clue so far? in your case i hope AF does show up for you....

as for me....AF is 2 days late....was due on the 15th....i asked my BF today what he really wanted the results to be of the test....he wants a baby, but it's really not a good time and we agreed on that....but hey if it's positive then we'll welcome this bundle of joy with open arms....

yesterday and today i was feeling a little dizzy and nauseated....no symptoms of AF coming or anything....i've been having headaches....so who knows....he's buying me a test from work tonight and i'll take it in the morning....i'm trying to think of a way to surprise him if it's positive....might take him some "baby stuff" and surprise him at work...not sure....

you plan on waiting to test again?
