Question Posted Sunday September 23 2007, 10:50 pm
i'm 17, and i think i'm pregnant. i have a lot of symptoms of pregnancy. swollen, tender breasts. fatigue. aches, pains, and cramps. cravings. also, my vagina is pretty swollen, and i don't know, it's just weird. i'm also sick. i don't think it's pms because i've been like this for a week and i still have a week and a half until my next period. i'm on birth control, but we don't use condoms. i just want to know what the chances are.

Tender breasts, fatigue, aches, pains, cramps and cravings are all PMS symptoms.
Swollen vagina could mean you have a nasty infection. You had best get yourself to the doctor ASAP.
I'm 13 weeks pregnant now. The early pregnancy symptoms are not generally felt until at least 6-8 weeks of pregnancy. At most, you would be 2 1/2 weeks if you did happen to be pregnant.
The earliest pregnancy symptoms are basically the same as PMS, therefore making it necessary to wait until your period is missed by 1 week for an adult, 2 weeks for a teen. (2 weeks because a teen's cycle is not likely regulated.)
You are probably sick and achy because of whatever is causing you to have a swollen vagina.

Missing your period is a major sign and you haven't missed one yet. You would probably not have any of these symptoms right away even if you were. Most are not signs at all. Aches, pains, cramps are not signs of pregnancy. I've never heard of pregnancy causing a swollen vagina. It does sound as if you should seek medical treatment since it has been going on for a week.
