So about a month ago I lost my virginity. We used a condom and were very very careful about correctly using and disposing of it. After that night I had this odd feeling of tension and pressure in my lower abdomen. I got a little bit of spotting the next day. Over the course of the month we had sex 5 more times. Two of those 5 times we had to stop because I wasn't wet enough to continue and we didn't have lube. Again we were very careful.
All month I have been feeling a little off color and I have had the lower abdomen pressure feeling intermittently. All month I have been very stressed out about being pregnant and because of other unrelated things. Around a week ago I got some spotting. This was a very stressful week so I payed no attention to it. I have slowly gained weight over the course of the month but I'm pretty sure its just because I haven't been exercising like I usually do.
My period has been due for a day or two and I hasn't come yet. I feel very moody, tired, I've had a headache, and I've felt achy all over. I have been having a lot of white vaginal discharge the past couple days. I have been very worries about being pregnant because, in my mind I'm not ready for a baby. I also have a bit of an issue with anxiety so I'm pretty sure this is all in my head. Also last month my cycle was a little shorter then normal (it was 25 days from one period to the next. its usually 30) Do you guys think I could be pregnant or do you think I am just a little late because I have been so stressed out?
Oh and I plan on taking a pregnancy test if I'm later then a week.

Hi Hon: When Condoms are used correctly they can be upto 97% effective. The cramping you felt after loosing your virginity, is totally normal. It is bascially muscle cramping, when you are having sex, your body tenses and releases, your vagina is no exception. So it will feel like you've done several situps, inside and out! The spotting, is probably from your hymen breaking!
When we are stressed - ESPECIALLY about being pregnant - we notice EVERY little thing! You mentioned achy and white discharge, this is you ovulating. Also once you loose your virginity, you will start noticing more discharges etc. STRESS is the number one reason why womens periods are off!! And because you are so stressed out right now, it will be late, or very little. The very 1st signs of pregnancy are sore breasts, enlargement and darkening of the aerola, throbbing pain in your lower back - thighs - pelvis, Nausea especially to fried food, and you can have headaches. Some experience the baby flu - a slight runny nose and cough, and sometimes your nose will grow!!! o.O
i really doubt you are pregnant, because you were careful and there was no accidents. So try and relax hon - i know it's easier said than done - but just do your normal activities and keep your mind on positive things. And I'm sure your period will come sooner than later. IF and I say IF your period doesn't come in another week, then take the test. Your HCG levels have to be high enough - IF you are pregnant - for the test to detect them.
So relax, and I hope that your period comes soon - for your piece of mind, and I'm sure your boyfriends XD
Let me know how everything works out OK? Good luck hon!

Thank you so much for your quick reply :-) Just hearing that I'm probably not pregnant makes me feel so much better. I appreciate the good wishes :-)

Your welcom: Just one more thing, have your thought about going on the Pill? The only reason why I ask this, is you will feel this way ALL the time because of just using a condom. Even if you go on the pill, STILL always practice safe sex - with a condom, this will totally wipe out the chance of you every getting pregnant. PLUS the most important, is to get you in the habit and hopefully NEVER having to deal with an STD!!! Good luck Hon! Glad I could help!

I considered it but my boyfriend and I talked and we decided not to have sex again until we are old enough to deal with the consequences. Turns out hes been just as worried as I am. I probably will go on it once I reach that point though. Thanks for the suggestion!
Also, yesterday I had a small amount of dark brown discharge that looked similar to what it usually looks like when I get my period but in a far smaller quantity. This happened to me last month the day before my period came but had never happened before. My breasts have also gotten a slight bit larger and they have started to get a little achy. This usually happens before my period but I was wondering these new symptoms seem more like pregnancy or period symptoms?

%-) Ok!!!!!!!!! The reason why I put the confused on here, is this, a small amount of brown discharge CAN mean implantation of the embryo!!!!! What happens is, when an egg is fertilized it looks for the closest blood source, which is usually your uterus lining. It then burrows its way in and attaches to the wall of your uterus/womb, the tissue that has been dislodged is the old lining which will be brown. And this is what you will ALSO expell when you have your period. Your breasts growing is also ANOTHER symptom of pregnancy!!!!! o.O BUT!!! It is also a symptom of your period coming on!!! So right now hon, it is hard to tell, This is why so many women don't know they are pregnant, becasue it is the same symptoms of PMS!! So lets wait a couple more days and see. Just keep being relaxed, because if you panic, it WILL stop your period and cause unneccassary anxiety.
Also I am glad that you and your boyfriend came to that agreement, having sex is a HUGE decision, with many consequences, and you really have to realize wether or not your are ready for any of those consequences.
So 1st lets get this little worry out of the way, then you can go back to being just a young couple in love!!! ;-) XD Keep me informed, so I can take a breath too OK? Good luck hon!!!

How long does it take for the embryo to implant after conception? Would this be likely of the last time we had sex was a little over 2.5 weeks ago? ?

Good point, it will happen within a day - 3 days. I think you should be OK! Because there is no way a fertilized embryo is just floating around in there trying to find a spot to land!!! XD o.O So it is probably the signs of your period coming on! Fingers Crossed!!!!

*whew* Thanks that makes me feel a lot better :-D I really really REALLY appreciate the continued support over the past couple days. you have really helped me keep a level head through this ordeal! Hopefully my period will be here soon!

Well, still no period :-( I've really been trying to relax but it just doesn't seem to be working. Today I got some brief cramps that felt like period cramps but only lasted for a few seconds. My breasts are still pretty sore to the touch but only the right one. Other then that I've felt pretty normal.
I don't know if I can wait anymore though. If I were to use a pregnancy test tomorrow would it be accurate? By then I will be 5 days late. I've only been that late once and that was several years ago when my period first started. %-)

Hi Hon: Yes it should be totally accurate by today/tommorrow. Get the ones that you don't need a science degree to figure out. I had one you girl leave a message on here saying "What does the pink line mean?"!!! So fingers crossed hon, and let me know OK?

Well I took a test and it said I was not pregnant :-D I got 2 different brands so I'm going to test again later just to make sure. But right now I'm so relieved even though my period has yet to make its appearance %-) :-)

OH THANK GOD!!!! I was holding my breath with that one. Just know that girls/women can have blips with their periods all the time. I think this was just mother nature telling you off XD Let me know OK!? Good luck hon!
Loading...
Well, my period finally came today!!!! :-D I've never been so happy to have cramps XD I'm so glad this is all over! I've definitely learned my lesson though, next time I have sex I will definitely be on the Pill. Thanks so much for your help! :-D
