I think I'm pregnant.


Question Posted Monday August 14 2006, 5:07 am

So, over the summer I fell in love with my best friend. You see, I moved to Germany and left him behind and went to visit him over the summer. Well, we slept together, numerous times. Towards the end of the summer I got a UTI (a urinary track infection)... and I couldn't get it treated until I got back to Germany. So my mom made a doctors appointment for 2 days after I got back. Well, the doctor wanted to give me a pap smear, but she checked my urine and found too much bacteria in it, so the pap smear wouldn't make a difference. Now I've been taking medicine for my infection for almost a week. yet I'm still bleeding a little bit, and I bled the whole week and a half I had it. Which I don't know if that was my period gone astray or if it was because of the UTI. I've been noticing some symptoms of pregnancy. I'm eating more, peeing more, feeling nauseous in the morning, and sometimes all day. My boobs are swollen and I've been tired a lot. And I'm going to try and get a pregnancy test sometime this week, but I'm afraid. I'm not afraid of being pregnant, I'm afraid of not being pregnant. I love my boyfriend very much, and can't stand to be away from him anymore. His parents won't even let him come visit me. Maybe if I was pregnant, they'd have to let him come? And if not, I'd have something of his... something we CREATED together to keep me sane. The only problem with that is I graduate this year (technically 2007... but this school year) and I won't be able to fly back to be with him until the child is of age. Do you think I could be pregnant? Or just crazy?

It is possible you could be pregnant if you had unprotected sex. A home pregnancy test should tell you for sure.

The bleeding you had could have been your period. Any blood from a UTI would be rather light and usually just in the urine.

Eating more really isn't a sign of pregnancy. Pregnant women eat normally. All the cravings are sort of an old wives tale.

Peeing more is probably a result of the UTI. Nausea can also be a symptom of your UTI. Any meds you were given could also cause nausea.

But get a home test anyway because you never know!

You don't mention your age but if your boyfriend needs parental permission to visit I will assume you aren't yet 18. That being the case then being pregnant will probably not make them more likely to let him visit. Unfortunately it could have quite the opposite effect.

I don't think you are at all crazy. You just are wanting so much to be pregnant and lots of those symptoms can also be from other things. Here is a
good website that has all the symptoms listed for you.

Let me know how things turn out. And if you need anything else feel free to ask anytime.
