whats going on with me?

[1calm-whirlwind.livejournal.com]

So, I've thinking I might be pregnant
 

for the last two months, I've had odd symtoms:

• light diarrhea,
• sensetivity to smells(which gets bad enough to make me dry heave into a sink),
• eating and the thought/sight of food makes me feel very sick,
• my stomach feels heavy,
• and the flat place between my stomach and vagina has less 'give' than usual.

and I had a light period last month(which has never happened before), lasting about two days, one of those days was little more than spotting.

this month, my period was two days late, and today I got a small amount of brown spotting(which has also never happened before) then later in the day, a small amount of...well, period blood like stuff except the consistency was a bit off, it was slimy and the color was brighter then I've had before.

I've taken two pregnancy tests(I did the first one wrong, both came out negative) and I was saving a 3rd one for if I didn't get any bleeding this month.

so my question is, what do you guys make of this?
I'm very confused.

I was told that sometimes, early in a pregnancy, women can get vaginal bleeding which looks and acts similar to a period, had a friend that was about 2, 3 months along before she knew because she thought she kept getting her period.

I am going to the doc at some point but its impossible atm.

I'm 19 and not on HBC.

I would get a blood test for pregnancy, but that's just my opinion.

[brittmarie.livejournal.com]

This. Sometimes women need a blood test for a positive.

[1calm-whirlwind.livejournal.com]

can you get a blood test without going to the docs?

if so I might be able to get one but the closest doctor to where I am is an hour off and I don't have a car atm.

[addycole.livejournal.com]

unfortunately not. but if it helps, you shouldn't have to go to your gyno to get the blood test, you should be able to get it done at any sort of doctors office, clinic or other health care facility.

(and I'm really only suggesting this *not to scare you* but because I had NO clue I was pregnant, and I had similar symptoms for about three months. [I'm 'not supposed to be able to conceive' so I was clueless, I just thought I felt like shit all the time.] My best friend *thought* she was pregnant when I had no clue I was (I conceived in early October) and I took a test (near thanksgiving) with her to ease her fears and it was negative, only to go to my yearly exam in January and be told "hmm... you're uterus feels full...")

oh and you can't possibly scare me more than I've scared myself. haha

Its just confusing, I'm not really supposed to be able to convieve either. @_@
however, I know quite a few women who were told they couldn't convieve...and they have mult. children so...

Now that I am pregnant, I've been hearing the "I wasn't supposed to!" story from SOOO many people. If a doctor ever tells that story to someone I know... I'm just going to laugh and tell them to get about 100 more opinions.

Life gets a bit confusing/terrifying when you go from never having a period in your life and being told you are "sterile" to being 14 weeks pregnant when all you wanted was a pap smear.

lol I bet.

I was told I'd misscarriage any possible babies 'cause my mom and grandmother on my dad's side both had several misscarriages in addcion to bad stomach issues, health problems etc. so I'm pretty freaked out. -sigh-

[1calm-whirlwind.livejournal.com]

I see.
that helps thank you.

I think theres a clinic close enough to convince someone to take me.

[x-memoirs.livejournal.com]

Do you have a free clinic in your area? Planned Parenthood? Depending on your area, they can do that.

You sound like you've been battling a stomach bug. If your stomach feels tight, it could be due to bloating, same with the heaviness. I'd wait and see if you got a period this month, then test if you're more than a week late.

May be irritable bowel syndrome? Giardiasis?

I don't know if you're pregnant or not, obviously, but I am not and I get similar symptoms - I am gluten intolerant. Bloating, diarrhea, etc. Maybe get tested for a food intolerance? They can be horrible.

Are you sexually active? Do you use condoms?

[archangelbeth]

If you're sexually active, and having ejaculation in your vagina... Um, well, the sensitivity to smells and the nausea could be a stomach bug, but between the brown spotting and really light bleeding? That sounds like it could be decidual bleeding, and the smell-sensitivity was something I had with my pregnancy nausea (that I never get with stomach bugs).

I had decidual bleeding (the term for non-miscarriage-indicating bleeding during pregnancy) that was light and spotty, save for a large clot; I did test positive on a pee-test, but the bleeding made me second-guess the test. When my mom was pregnant with me (in the era before pee tests were available easily), she says that she wasn't sure she was pregnant till I started kicking.

Also, some people do not excrete hCG very much in their urine. If you can't get to the doctor quickly for a blood test, wait a week or so (and you can also get inexpensive, good pregnancy tests at Dollar Tree stores, if you're in the US; see peeonastick.com for their effectiveness), and test again with First Morning Pee. (That will concentrate any hCG in your urine so that it's more likely to register on a pregnancy test, if you're pregnant.)

If you would terminate a pregnancy... I would start really pushing to get that blood test ASAP.

Good luck!

I'm 7 weeks pregnant, and the smell-sensitivity is kicking my butt. The smell of freshly baked cookies made me almost heave up the banana that I ate this morning. I've also had a 24 hour stomach bug, and was having green diarrhea. I'd wait to see if you get any more bleeding before taking the next test, and definitely get a blood test ASAP.
