I think I'm just freaking myself out, but... could I be pregnant?First off, I'm 20. I had my period May 11th and it ended on May 16th. On the 16th, I had PROTECTED sex. He only penetrated me 2 or 3 times (I was a virgin previously), and we checked the condom for holes just in case... nothing. I had major reconstructive surgery on my ankle on May 21st, for which I was on a low-dose Aspirin regimen (to reduce the risk of blood clots), oxycontin, and percocet. I've stopped the oxycontin and percocet, but I'm still on the Aspirin. Anyway, on June 8th, I started my period. It was just a little lighter than normal (but nothing that would be very noticeable), but still lasted the same amount of days (it ended on Sunday, the 13th). I'm attributing the minor change in flow to the fact that I'm on Aspirin (but again, it wasn't light by any means).
I've been having VERY slight stomach pains (which I do normally get... I have IBS and a little bit of GERD, too), slight back pains (lower back), and a slight sore throat with sneezing and a minor headache. I've also been gaining a little bit of weight. Now, as for the back pains... I'm assuming that's because I've been confined to the couch since my surgery, and I've only been able to get up with crutches to go on short walks or to get up to walk to the bathroom, etc. I also get tight neck muscles from time to time, and the last time I went for a chiropractic adjustment was about six months ago. I'm assuming the weight gain (which is minior, but still...) also has to do with the fact that I haven't been able to be active. Also, the pollen count has been moderate or high at my house for the past week or so, so I'm attributing my slight headache to that; I have terrible allergies with grass/pollen, etc. I've been slightly fatigued, but again, I think that's due to the little bit of activity.
I did have tender/sore breasts before my period, but that's typical for my PMS and that is now gone. I genuinely think I'm just freaking myself out, but I'd like some peace of mind. Am I overreacting or do I still have something to worry about?
Thanks so much!
-Pregnant w/ #1 Due Feb 2011 :)
I think you should take a pregnancy test ASAP. I had unprotected sex and conceived my child on may 16th. I was having the same symptoms as you/are having however I have migraine issues so the headaches just have gotten worse. However the sore breasts & cramps that I were experiencing weren't my PMS. And as far as getting your period, it doesn't really mean anything because I got my period when I was 3 weeks pregnant. Also one more thing, I have not taken a positive home pregnancy test but I have been confirmed pregnant by my doctor. I'm guessing my levels weren't high enough. Best of luck! and Congratulations if you are indeed pregnant :)
