am i preg. or just stressed
Im 21 , i have a stressful job, husband is in the military, everything points to stress however some opinions would be be helpful. We have unprotected sex, no pull out methods, in hopes We could have a child someday. The both of us have little chance due to some medical factors. Though i Havent had a period since july 26 and it is sept 21 considering are chance are low i have lately, the past 3 weeks, been experancing lower abdomal pains, like periods. I have been unusually hunry, and very sick and nauseous if i dont eat often. All i want to do is sleep. My breast are Not sore (just my nipples are) i Havent had any spotting, no back pains, and have been very emotional. At this point becas i have a stressful LIFE, and because We want a child, i feel i mighht, as crazy as it sounds, be "thinking" myself pregnant. Or other words, its all in my head. I have Not yet taken a test, in fear of just disapointment. Can some giv me opinions ?

Maybe give some free advice about: Pregnancy?
Stress can be very harmful to you and cause long lasting problems. There is the possibility that you are pregnant. Just because the chances are low does not mean impossible. Take a pregnancy test. If it is negative see your OB/GYN. Let the doctor run a pregnancy test which will confirm one way or the other.
If you are not pregnant, the stress you are under could be cause of you missing your periods. Your GYN will examine you to see if there is any other physical cause for you missing your periods.
If not I would suggest you speak to a therapist who specializes in stress reduction. Having a spouse in the military is stressful enough, to have that spouse deployed as much as they are being deployed these days is even more stressful. A qualified therapist will show you ways to reduce your stress which will allow your body to function as it should.
If stress is the problem do not feel bad, your not alone and there is nothing really wrong with you. You are young and in love. You want your husband home, safe and in your arms. That is nothing to be ashamed of.
Next time you speak to or write to your husband, please thank him for his service and I thank you for allowing him to serve.

Take the test, though the fear of being disapointed might happen, you can always try and try again. My opinion would be that yes your very stressed and you don't want to be in this position due to the fact that you can actually fake a pregnancy, your body will actually create its own baby by creating a sac of water in place of the baby, yes it is possible. That's only under strong conditions and you don't want to get there. You have a full life ahead of you. Don't stress yourself out because of these medical factors, you can overcome them and I believe your husband believes the same. It's about trying again and again. Until you make it happen. You need to eat healthy, snack on healthy alternatives such as a banana, apple, kiwi, cantelope. It will make you remain stable and help reduce the nausea.
Don't worry about being emotional, everyone is emotional due to stress, though some might not show it. You will face stressful moments later on but remember it's about learning to overcome and adapt to stress, try and try again, you will be a mother in no time.
