  |
|
i had intercourse at the end of february, right after my period had ended. the condom came off inside me, so the next morning i went and got plan b. a few days later, it happened again, so i took plan b again. i got my period two weeks early (mid march).
about a month later, i got my period again. it lasted 4 days and then pretty much stopped. it normally lasts 7 days.
mid may, i had really terrible pms symptoms for a week before my period started. i normally only have them a day before. cramping, water retention, etc. my period finally came and seemed normal.
i'm waiting for it to start again, it should this week. here's the thing though: since taking the pills at the end of feb., i've gained 10 lbs even though my diet and exercise routine hasn't changed, all in my lower abdomen and my boobs. from the profile view i certainly look 3 months pregnant. i've been retaining water like crazy (sometimes to the point of my ankle bones being barely visible), my boobs feel swollen at random times, and i've been sleeping an extra 2 or 3 hours a night and still feel generally tired throughout the day.
i've taken two pregnancy tests that were both negative. i just went and had a blood test done today, but results take 4 days. anyone have any advice in the meantime? |
