I swear I'm not crazy, but I still have no idea.

you should get checked out by a doctor if you're worried about your health

I would almost bet money that you are pregnant. You haven't replied lately. Hope everything is ok! Let us know if you get tested.

I'm really concerned about you and if you're still experiencing these symptoms. At first it sounded like you're pregnant so I wanted to see if anything changed and if you went to the doctor to make sure it wasn't soemthing else.

Still no definitive answers, but I'm still early. I'm guessing I ovulated early. "Implantation bleeding" and "conception" lined up perfectly if I did and was under stress and that could cause it.

I've noticed even more things. The twinges haven't left. They bounce back and forth between my right ovary and the right side of my uterus, but have been getting lower. Today the right side of my uterus felt tingly/tickly for most of the day. My boobs are sore now and I've gained half a cup size. My nipples/areolas look bigger and bumpier. I've put on about 5 pounds in two weeks. (I'm tiny, so that's a lot.) My cravings are nuts. Tons of stuff has no taste at all or tastes terrible. I always have to pee. Oh, and I want to cry over everything. Also had a couple beers the other night like I normally do and puked. Not normal at all.

I've been taking tests, but I get stuff that doesn't tell me anything. Could be evaporation lines although they were blue and showed up within a minute. I'm still 5 days away from my period. Tested yesterday and it was weird faint/skinny lines. I was at my doctor's office and saw the nurse and mentioned something to her because she saw that I'd put on some weight (heavier than I was when I started taking Adderall 4 months ago) and she talked to the doctor and told me it was too early to test. I'm going back in a week. I'd be at just about 4 weeks, but I have a crazy long cycle anyway.

With everything that's been going on I'm 99% sure I am. If I'm not I must have some crazy hormonal disease which I doubt.

Bad thing is . . . the potential father is being incredibly self-centered and has no desire to talk to me until I have proof. Even then, he said he owes nothing to me, just a child. He makes me feel like I was to blame even though he was the one who whipped the condom off at the last minute and had terrible aim. Worse thing is that I was totally in love with him. I'd posted about him a couple times recently. He's "too stressed" to deal with all of this. I asked him his opinion on all of it and he said he didn't care what I did. I'm 25. I'm taking what life throws at me right now whether it's "easy" or not.

But thank you all so much for your support.

Oh, and a couple of my lady friends are convinced I'm prego.

As well as my boy roommate/bff/ex-thing. He says I've been highly "irrational" lately. Even worse than I was during PMS and not on mood stabilizers.

Blah.

If you had two lines, even if one/both were faint, you're pregnant.

Sorry but the father sounds like a jerk. He "doesn't care" what you do? He won't take responsibility for his part in this? Ugh. I can't imagine the stress you must be under. I remember you were so kind to me when I was pregnant unexpectedly, and then when I lost the baby. So I'll return the favor and be supportive of you whatever decision you make. If you ever need to talk, my message box is always open. I may be a random stranger but I care.

I thought with Endometriosis you really have severe abdominal pain (which sometimes IBS exhibit too).

I don't think you crave for food of any kind during those conditions.

I would rule out IBS and Endometriosis.

Thanx for the update. The twinges worry me though. That sounds like an Ovarian cyst which will be more than a twinge if they burst, and ultrasound can id if that is the case.

Want a group of us to do something awful to him? (Like tie him face down in a chicken yard and piss on him?) Since he obviously won't take any responsibility (not even to comfort you while you're scared and uncertain) ... I don't think anyone would mind.

You don't know me, but I second this ^. If I was within a hundred miles of this happening, I'd be a part of it.

Your symptoms sound just like when I found out I was pregnant.

Have you been back to the doctor yet? I'm thinking you'd want to get checked out either way.

Okay so since you seen your doc. I hope they took you off any dangerous med until they know for sure. The first 3 months are important. Just so that you know. I don't know if this is your first or what. But when I got pregnant I new right away. I even new my son was a boy when they ultra sound said girl. Everything everyone bought pink. Listen to your boby it is telling you something. You must every in tune with it and that is a great thing when your pregnant. I hope it is something you all want. Good luck.

A doctor can take your blood and run a qualitative test that is able to detect hcG approx. 7-12 days from possible conception. It will be more expensive than the urine tests, but it is my belief that they are more accurate because the doctor can be more objective and the test is more precise.

I have had a pregnancy scare before when I was experiencing several of the symptoms you mentioned. I most likely have IBS as well, seeing a doctor next month. And both urine and blood tests were negative. I think what you're experiencing is being caused by stress

I am here for you.
