Q: Possible Pregnancy??

I've been trying to get as much advice/opinions as possible, and I will know for sure tomorrow when I go to the doctor for a pregnancy test.

I am 3 days late this month. Af was on the 13th of last month. I am religiously normal never ever late on it. I also get very very tender bb about a week before af. That still hasn't happened to me yet. Me and my boyfriend have been using the withdrawal method (yes I know, not a good form of bc). And have been having sex since the 25th of last month.

I've been experiencing a lot of weird things lately...Feeling way naseous and i've thrown up 2 times since sunday. I have been having weird sensations in my stomach. I've had gas pains since sunday with little to no gas. I'm not constipated but rather having much much looser bowels than normal. I am hungry all the time and always feel hungry. I have also been feeling very tired for the past 3 weeks. Coming home from work and taking a 3 hour nap, getting up for an hour or two and then passing right back out. Also when I am at work I feel totally awake one minute and completely exhausted the next. I've had a little bit of light headedness. I have the frequent urination, more prominent in the morning, where I have to use the restroom every 30 minutes or less. And I just feel fat/bloated. I have this strong feeling I am pregnant.

For the past month or so I have been completely stress free.

Has anyone experienced these things at all? What is your take on the situation?

The withdrawal method isn't a form of bc at all, not just a "not very good method" lol.
You could be pregnant, but it could also all be in your head. You could have some kind of a flu bug that is making you sick and making you have loose bowels, and viruses can delay your period and pms symptoms. So, that could be why your breasts aren't sore yet and why you haven't started yet. But, you could also be pregnant. You are going to the doc tomorrow? Good luck to you. I hope the results are what you hoped for!

Usually when I have the flu though I throw up a lot more than I have been. I've had the flu many times and its never made me late. Plus I usually feel deathly ill (because when I get sick I get sick) when I get the flu.

Oh well. Thanks for answering me though :)

i'll know tomorrow!

I didn't mean the actual flu, just some kind of virus causing flu like symptoms. I am the same way when I get the flu! I am down for the count and I puke like crazy! But, I have also had weird flu bugs where my bowels were affected and I just felt ill. And I have had bugs that made my periods late too.
But, anyway, yeah, just idea. At least you are finding out tomorrow and not at a later date! Good luck!

Yeah i've never had any bugs to make my period late ever...Its like I told my best friend today lol my period is always regular. I don't understand why all of a sudden it wouldn't be if there are really no factors to make it that way.

Yeah it seems today and yesterday went by so slow. Tomorrow will be even worse haha. But I am anxious to find out.

My sister is convinced I am pregnant though...She is almost 24 weeks right now.

Well good luck to you! I wish (well, without bc) that my period was always on time! Everytime I got sick, stressed, etc. It went haywire.
Let us know how the test goes!

They did a urine test and told me it came back negative, but then the doctor who gave me a pap told me the test could have been wrong because its weird for me to have all these symptoms. I'm thinking if my period doesn't come by the end of the month something is going on.

Also my mom thinks that because february was a short month it may have messed with my cycle. Has anyone experienced that before?

I haven't experienced that, but one of my friends was pregnant for almost four months before a test ever came up positive. Urine tests that is. They finally agreed to do a blood test in the fourth month and it came back positive. She hadn't had her period and they just kept telling her not to worry about it, but she was right all along. Trust your instincts. Wait a little while, or not, and make them do a blood test.

I think i'm off the hook as I seemed to have started today and i'm pretty sure its not just spotting. But its not as heavy as usual.

Well my period is now 4 days late, I took a pg test last night and it was neg., I did not let my husband know I take it as I dont want to get his hopes up, someone also mention to me that it might be because feb was a short month, I dont know about that, I was late last month as well and had to take some meds for it to show up. I been off the pill for 4 months now and working on the baby thing...... I will see by the end of the week lol that is tomorrow if it dont come then I am going to go see the gyno next week..........

What Is the Withdrawal Method

This may be a stupid question but what is the withdrawal method?

Its when the guy pulls out right before he is about to ejaculate.

I am confused about this whole february is a short month thing. Are you talking about for example: if you normally get your period on let's say the fifth of the month, but this month you got it on the seventh because feb is a short month, that makes sense. But, do any of you really get your period on the same day of the month, from month to month. I have been on the pill for so long that I just go by which row I am on, but I go on a 28 day cycle and the length of the month has nothing to do with that. I am confused, sorry!
