I am 17. My boyfriend and I had sex about a month ago or so, unprotected. I've taken several pregnancy tests..the last one was about 3 weeks ago or so. My period came, a little late, but it wasnt normal at all. Like maybe 2 days...and then random spotting...I still am once in a while, even though my "period" started over a week ago. I am huge. I have never been over like 105lbs, very petite and everything. I am a dancer, I just had my dance recitals like 2 weeks ago, lots of high energy, so, it makes no sense for me to be this big. I am 5'1.5" and now weigh a whopping 127lbs or so. Its all in my tummy...and i have a bunch of like red/purple stretch marks on like my hips. I keep growing out of my pants. I was like a size 0...WITH A BELT...now i am wearing a size 5. I am tired all the time. Passing gas a lot. Peeing more often. and i have really bad cramps. I feel sick to my stomach a lot. I will be hungry, fix myself food, and then just the smell of it makes me want to puke... I feel HUGE. And I exercise a lot. I am very healthy....I eat well. Since the weight, ive been keeping it real healthy, no snacking or junk food. I eat like sandwhiches and carrot sticks. I mean, this is not normal. My mom says that everyone in my family gets pregnant real easy. And we had unprotected sex at least 3 times. Even though the tests came out negative, i cant help but have this FEELING that I am. Like, everytime is see ppl with babies and everything, its like this intense longing and everything...I cant explain it.
I cant explain what has happened to me...its so odd...how could so much change so fast. Im scared. I dont know what is wrong with me. How could i gain so much weight for no reason...? I swear...i gained all that weight in like 3 or 4 weeks! My mom, a nurse, says that i am being overly dramatic, and just doing it to myself...that i want a baby so bad...i just want to believe i am pregnant. But that is not true. I dont want kids yet. I am seventeen! I dont believe I could be doing all this to myself.
Does anyone know what is wrong with me...? %-)

A few questions... What was the date of your last period? When was the last time that you had unprotected sex? How long after the unprotected sex did you take the test?
It is possible that you could have taken the test too soon. You mentioned that you had unprotected sex a month ago and the last test was 3 weeks ago. Taking the test a week after the unprotected sex would most likely give you a negative result. It won't normally show positive until your period/missed period. I would take another test to be sure.
You also mentioned that you gained weight. Sudden weight gain or loss can cause you to miss your period or to have irregular periods.
Worrying about these things can also cause you to start experiencing symptoms of pregnancy. It's crazy but we girls do it all the time. You can just stress yourself sick. It can mess up your periods and you can even feel the physical side effects.
So you should probably go ahead and take another test. If you had unprotected sex the last time a month ago it should show up positive by now.
Good luck.
