Hi everyone,

I am 19 years old and i currently have a boyfirend who i regularly have sex with. We dont use a condom sometimes but he withdraws a while before he ejaculates. He is responsible and trusty worthy.
I am an athlete and i recently lost alot of weight. I was diagnosed with amenorrea (i think) and i also have endometriosis. WHAT A PAIR!
I have not had my period in 3 months and recently i have been feeling CHRONIC abdominal pain just below my belly button and severe lower back pain. 3 days ago i had like a half period only one "chunk" of endomitriosis came out so it wasnt a full period. Recently i have been also frequently urinating, take into consideration i drink a hell of alot though... But i have been peeing more than usual. My stomach also hurts a tiny bit after sex...
I am supper scared and dont know if i could be pregnant?
Does anyone have any ideas?

Thank you for your time
Milly

Ok please do not take this the wrong way. If you are not ready to have a baby do not play with fire. I got PG with our DS using the pull out method.

first of all you should not be drinking as much if you think you could be pregnant. i'm 19 as well and i'm two months away from delivering a baby boy. my due date is dec 1st and i can't wait. you should just take a pregnancy test or visit a gynecologist. it's important to know for sure before you start drinking again. i use to love to party too but a month after i stopped my period i realized i better slow down until i know for sure. yes, it could always be delayed because of stress but it's better to stop than conceive a handicapped infant. you know what i mean?

Hey
Thank you for your replies! They were helpful!
When i said i was drinking i didnt mean alcohol lol i meant water cuz i need to stay hydrated as an athlete... dont worry i am not taht irresponsible...
Im pretty scared to take a pregnancy test hence why i am writing this so is there any way else to know.... I havent had my period in 3 months but i also havent been feeling any morning sickness or anything.... all the symptoms seem to overlap between endomitriosis and actually being pregnant..
Thanks for your time

o wow! sorry about that i thought you meant alcohol. well, it's good to hear that you are doing okay and not doing that. well i read that you didn't want to take the pregnancy test. is there are reason why? being scared and frightful about it would be a good reason but i guess the anxiousness of not knowing would kill me more. however, many people probably wouldn't want to know right away but it's been almost 3 months for you. actually that's exactly when i found out for sure that i was. so just relax and if you wouldn't mind me asking what exactly is endometriosis?

Milly,

I'm sorry to hear that you are in this situation. My advice is to take a hpt. If you are pregnant, you need to know so you can start taking care of yourself and your baby. If you are not pregnant, there could be something wrong and by not getting checked out, you could be doing permanent damage to your reproductive organs. I know it's scary.....but, you really should take care of yourself and see a doctor. Best of luck.

What is endometriosis?
Endometriosis is a common health problem in women. It gets its name from the word endometrium, the tissue that lines the uterus (womb). In women with this problem, tissue that looks and acts like the lining of the uterus grows outside of the uterus in other areas. These areas can be called growths, tumors, implants, lesions, or nodules.

What are the symptoms of endometriosis?
Pain is one of the most common symptoms of endometriosis. Usually the pain is in the abdomen, lower back, and pelvis. The amount of pain a woman feels does not depend on how much endometriosis she has. Some women have no pain, even though their disease affects large areas. Other women with endometriosis have severe pain even though they have only a few small growths. Symptoms of endometriosis include:

Very painful menstrual cramps
Pain with periods that gets worse over time
Chronic pain in the lower back and pelvis
Pain during or after sex
Intestinal pain
Painful bowel movements or painful urination during menstrual periods
Heavy and/or long menstrual periods
Spotting or bleeding between periods
Infertility (not being able to get pregnant)
Fatigue

... thats endometriosis lol
Well for the last three days i was very bloated and i had very sore stomach cramps but this morning its gone? what does that mean?

Anyways thanks for you help, ill try work up the courage to take a test but i wish i had one clear sign i was pregnant
