last month i was supposed to start my period on schedule on the 25th. but it didn't start until 5 days later, also it started out as just spotting for a hour or so then stopped and didn't start normally til the next day. all the while it was switching back and forth from light to heavy.???? then it didn't stop for 7 days, and it normally stops after about 5. i'm so confused cuz about 3 days after it stopped i had brown/pink spotting???the spotting lasted for about 3 and a 1/2 days. that's never happened to me before and i was wondering if that's an issue dealing with pregnancy or not. also i used to always be comfortable laying on my stomach but now it feels uncomfortable. i've been very tired and have been having what i would think hot flashes would feel like. i'm 19 years old and need advice. also i feel a lot like i'm goin to puke everyday but i never do puke. i've had a few migraines and quite a few stomach cramps. and sometimes i'll want to do nothin but eat and other days i'll only eat one time in a day cuz i'll feel full all day long. also i feel very tired a lot most days and then other days i can't sleep. i can't decide what i want to eat either cuz most stuff i usually like sounds weird at the time. i feel dizzy and constipated as well. should i see a doctor, get a pregnancy test, or just wait til my next period's time is here and see if that comes or not????? any reply is greatly appreciated! thank you!

If you believe that pregnancy was possible last month, then you should go ahead and test, especially since a NORMAL af was due a month ago. If it's negative, then it may be safe to say that you just had an awkward cycle. It happens sometimes and you may experience them more in the future, maybe during a life changing experience or b/c of stress. When you find yourself worrying too much about being pg, your body reacts to it. It can create pregnancy-like syptoms to convince you that you are...even after 20 BFNs. So, the 1st thing you need to do is relax and try not to focus too much on the "what if" and go out and buy a test. The test will give you an answer better than we can. If yields a BFP, then you need to call your OB. If you don't have one, visit your Dr & have him/her refer you to an OB...and start taking prenatal vitamins immediately.

Hello,


You have to test. It could be that you are having a wacky cycle. If you get a negative home pregnancy test, then schedule an appointment with your OB/GYN and have a complete bloodwork up done. It could be hormonal. The symptoms you are experience could be anything. Unfortunately Pregnancy symptoms and period symptoms are so similiar the only way to know is to test.


Good Luck.
