Hey again,
I had posted about a week ago saying I was having a lot of different feelings. my stomach was feeling very bloated and heavy, and i was nauseaus. i had completly not planned on posting here again, since my anxiety had convinced me that i was creating symptoms. A week later tho, things still don't feel right.
I'm nauseous almost all day, I've been sleeping wayy more than is normal for me (i normally get about 7-8 hours a night, i've now been averaging 9-10) my stomach still feels bloated and heavy, my breasts have become very sensitive and i've been experiencing mood swings. i have a gut feeling that i am pregnant, but with the anxiety and everything, i'm thinking that i'm just being stupid and i shouldnt feel like this.
Here's the other thing tho that is confusing me. On saturday, i did get my period. it wasnt a normal period really, mostly brown and it has already ended. I thought that after my period, everything else would go away, but it hasnt. i dont know what's wrong with me.
Last thursday, i had an appt at planned parenthood. normally, that would calm me down, but definitely didnt, if anything, made me more confused. i've had some really good service there, but this was not one of those times. I did pee in a cup to begin the appt, but i never found out what it said (i'm guessing negative). throughout the checkup, i was in so much pain, almost on the verge of tears, which i've never felt before. She pressed down on my lower stomach, and when i actually did start crying because it hurt so much, she just said "you've never been tender like this before? huh" that was it. I know i should have asked or followed up, i let my anxiety take over tho and i was too scared to say aomething, for risk of looking stupid.
i want to take a hpt, but i'd rather wait and do it when the greatest rate of accuracy would be. i'm really not sure when that would be tho. Also, the other thing that has been making me nervous is the stories of women who did get their periods, only to discover that a few months later, they were pregnant. I've tried to look up info on this, but i havent been able to find any. Would anyone know where I could find the statistics possibly about how often women do have their periods?
I'm sorry for ranting like this. Thank you in advice tho for listning to all of this :) it means a lot

Hi Lizzie,
I'm surprised no one at PP followed-up with you. You should probably call and find out at least 2 things, first being what the pg result was when you gave urine and also ask if they did a test for a UTI. I get them very often (actually, am going through one now!) and I know they can be VERY painful. You
