I dont know if im pregnant or if im getting my period.
Question Posted Wednesday August 15 2007, 1:39 pm
Its really hard to tell with me because of my weird body habits.
So about a week and a half ago i had sex,with a condom and for a little time without one ,i am fully aware that its extremly risky.I feel dumb about doing it ofcourse but there is nothing to do ,to take away my dumb actions.
He cummed partially in me and partially on the floor and ofcourse i was scared.
Now ,my body doesn't usually get a period each month.
I got my first period about 2 years ago,and ive only gotten it maybe 4 or 5 times since then.
The first time I got it was in June of 05,and then i got it August of 05.I think I may have got it again June of 06 and again August 06.
And I had gotten it June of 07 and it is now August of 07,so i think you get the point.
I have been having weird symptoms such as one of my nipples is clearly twice the size of my other one,ive been having those crying episodes at night and mood swings.Ive had a racing heart rate,and ive been bloated ..ofcourse.Also,the gross smell down there.
Ive also had this weird discharge,it smells horrible and its like a brownish bloodish and clearish liquid,I know you get that before your period but i didnt know if you can have that during pregnancy as well.I took a test about 3 days ago and it came out negative but I know that if you take the test too early,it will not be accurate so im planning on taking another one soon.
I am extremly young [14 to be exact]and I dont want to be lectured on my poor choices,i apparently realize them i just need help because I am trying to solve this problem as quickly and easily as possible,thank you for your help!

I thought they had improved the home pregnancy tests so that you could take one a few days after you think you are pregnant and get an accurate reading. But it certainly doesn't hurt to take another one. And because of that, as you said, it is best to wait a while. How the pregnancy test works, is when you are pregnant, the amount of estrogen in your system increases...by a lot. the longer you are pregnant the more estrogen your body will produce. And that is what shows up on the tests and they read positive for raised estrogen levels, and negative for normal estrogen levels.
However in your case, because your menstrual cycle has been so inconsisten for a couple of years, so would your estrogen levels be inconsistent. So who knows if the test might be giving you a false reading because your estrogen levels are all over the map.
Well, lets say it turns out that you are pregnant, do you plan to have an abortion? If so, a couple more weeks will not make a difference. There will still be time, and you will still be in your first tri-mester. I know that means that the next two weeks will be nerve wracking. But in any event, you will need a definite YES or NO before you can make the next decision.
First of all the foul smelling odor has nothing to do with it. That could be semen that has since died, you need to douche. You should after you have sex anway, even with a condom. And again after you have your period. As for one nipple being larger than the other. I have never heard of that happening to anyone I know, who got pregnant. Bloating could mean that your period is coming. I can tell you what happened to my body when I got pregnant, but we are all different. My breasts got very tender and sore. They also got bigger right away. Went up a whole cup size. I felt very light headed. I did not have any feelings of nausea, but many women do. These are all common symptoms that most women feel. But your body is having trouble reaching full womanhood (sorry, corny expresion) and this is proven because your menstrual cycle is so sporadic. This is not a "healthy" situation for your body to be in. You are a good candidate to get on the pill to regulate your periods. You and your mom should talk to your doctor about that. If he/she agrees, they will send you to an OB/GNY for an exam and to put you on the pill so that your body's estrogen levels can return to normal. It is better for your health
Like you I hope and pray that you are not pregnant, but there is not much you can do but worry, until you have a concrete answer.
SO I am hoping that two weeks from now, when you re-test, that the results will be negative. And hopefully you will get your period.
Is there a Planned Parent Hood clinic in your city. They may do a test also, that could be more conclusive. Good luck to you dear.
