Light period, nausea and other pregnancy symptoms
Posted: 10-05-07 21:27pm

okay... so I'm a little worried..... i had my period from september 29-october 3; which is sort of normal, but it was a lot lighter than usual......

but I've also been sick lately.....

for about two weeks now I've been feeling sort of nausious at random times; then on monday, i had to leave school early because i felt so awful and it seemed the longer the day went on, the worse i felt. tuesday i just skipped school all together, because i woke up feeling like caca (extremely nausious, threw up twice in my mouth but by the time i got to the bathroom i didn't feel like i had to throw up anymore, a headache, and a sore throat). later tuesday evening though, i felt perfectly fine again....
for the rest of the week i had off and on nausciousness, random headaches, i've been really snappy and easily irritated, my boobs have gotten bigger, i've gained weight both on the scale and around the belly, and i'm alot more tired lately.

i'm really worried about this and my next doctor's appointment isn't until monday morning. i realize that i should take an ept just to check and possibly calm my nerves a bit (or not calm them) but honestly i really don't trust them all that much at all.... two of my friends all had pregnancy symptoms, took 3 ept's, all of them resulting negative, and nine months later, out popped their newborns.... maybe it was just their bad luck...... i don't know.... but i'm worried and don't know if i should wait until monday, or take an ept now just to see what it says for shits and giggles...

please someone help?

If you just had a period, it's unlikely you're pregnant. I would keep your appointment for Monday - your doctor will be able to evaluate your symptoms better than we can, and will likely give you a pregnancy test while you're there.

Good luck.

thanks... it's greatly appreciated...

all the symptoms just scare me...mainly because two reasons...

1. i know people who have still had periods when they were pregnant... but it was only one or two and then they went away...

2. i have all of these symptoms that say pregnancy but are also the same symptoms for other things........ which is honestly slightly aggrivating because you can't know for sure what it is until you're diagnosed just because many things have the same symptoms as pregnancy.... uhh!! don't you jus thate life sometimes?!? lol... jp

Are you using any form of birth control?

It is unlikely as you had a period - yes some women do have 'periods' through pregnancy but this isn't common.

Go to your appointment tomorrow and ask them to do a blood test as this can detect lower amounts of hcg than hpt's
