PMS-like symptoms, but most likely not pregnant?

Help, I don't know what's going on with me (Pregnant or Miscarrying?)?

  • Okay, so me and my boyfriend have been waiting a week to take a test and find out if I am pregnant. If I am, it could be anywhere between 2 to 4 weeks. My period is very irregular so we do not know when it is coming, if at all. I've had some slight symptoms but they could easily be explained as other things (such as, maybe I'm starting my period) also, I have had a "scare" before with very convincing symptoms and turned out not being pregnant, so it could have been my mind playing tricks on me. What really worried me was what happened today. I woke up around 6 like I always do, rode my bike to school (I am 19 by the way and I graduate this year. I do not need a speech on how to be more careful or my morals, I only need to know what is going on, if you must know, if I am pregnant, I plan to give the baby up to adoption since I cannot provide it with what it would need) and when I got to school my back was hurting, VERY bad. by the time I walked into the cafeteria my stomach was cramping unbearably and I could barley stand, I sat down and tried to calm myself and catch my breath, than I got nauseous and started to sweat, I decided to go to the bathroom, while walking there I felt as if I was going to faint and had to really focus to be able to walk, see, and hear correctly. In the bathroom I was sweating even more, covered in sweat, with all of the previous symptoms as well, and I was bleeding too, but not a lot, you could consider it spotting. I went to the nurse and had my father come and pick me up and take me home and on the way there I threw up. When I got home to put on a pad thinking it was just my period, I had stopped bleeding. I am now beginning to feel better, I have almost none of the symptoms and it has only been about an hour. What I want to know is, is this my period, am I most likely pregnant, and could this possibly be me miscarrying? Also, I should probably include that my periods are very severe, major cramps the first day, heavy flow, headaches, back aches, and there have been many occasions where it has caused vomiting. I took birth control for about a year to try and control them and I recently stopped due to financial problems. Anyways, I need to know if I should make a trip to the hospital. Thank you to anyone who actually answers and doesn't lecture me.

  • Answer:

    I know how you feel with those awful periods. I was the same way and had to take birth control pills to try to help regulate and ease some of the pain. When in doubt, you should see a doctor. It does sound like you might have had a miscarriage. I know you don't want a lecture, but if you are going to be sexually active, then you need to be more responsible. Sorry, but birth control pills are NOT that expensive and your boyfriend should be wearing a condom if you cannot afford the pills.

I'm sorry you've been worrying - I know what that's like!! As for your financial problems, it may be worth saving up for an implant in the arm - these last three years and will at least stop you worrying! Anyway, there is a chance you could be pregnant, but if you were miscarrying, I think you'd know about it! Even if you were experiencing a miscarriage, there isn't much anyone can do to save the embryo, but they would be concerned that you weren't haemorrhaging, but you would notice if you were as you'd be bleeding uncontrollably. It sounds like it's so similar to your PMS and menstrual symptoms that it's difficult to say either way. If you want to test then I would go ahead and take a test now to calm your nerves - if it's been at least two weeks since a possible conception then the test should be completely effective by now (usually). I won't lecture you, but all I will say is that I had an unexpected pregnancy a few years ago, even when I was being careful, and letting go of a child in one way or another will stay with you forever. Lots of people go through it and still have a life, but if you can avoid it, I really think it's best. I look at people with babies now and think 'my child would be older than that now' and wonder what they would've looked like and what their character would be like. I understand that you would want to give your potential child up for adoption because you don't think you'd be able to look after it properly - and I do respect that - but I have had friends who were adopted and they have always struggled with the fact that their mothers didn't keep them, even though their adoptive parents are really lovely. I really hope everything works out for you and hope you have the result you want. All the best xx
