Hi Confused,

Thanks for setting up the account.

OK, white discharge could indicate a yeast infection.  Bloating can be the result of a yeast infection too.  Neither is a a symptom specific to pregnancy.

You are getting near when you should have your next period start.  By this point you'd likely notice have noticed spotting, very light blood stains, from implantation bleeding if you were pregnant.

The first sign of pregnancy is usually a missed period.  If you are late, take a home test.  If it reads negative and a week or so later you still haven't had your period, retest.  Always follows the directions to the letter and use your first morning urine.  It is more concentrated and more likely to show a positive earlier.  False negatives are VERY common, false positives are NOT.

There are over the counter products that can help if it is a yeast infection.  If it is a virus you can feel symptoms for a week or more.  I would suggest that if you continue to experience symptoms that you check with your doctor. 

Hope it helps.

Thankyou, i will look into yeast infection.

Yes, i am aware of spotting and looking out for it but have not noticed any so far; although withing the last half hour i have experience pain in/around my vagina, that i would describe as sharp and painful.

I have recently spoke with my boyfriend about taking a test if i miss my period, thankyou for the advice of when to take it and about false negatives etc.

Thankyou so much, yes i was planning to go to my doctors if i still feel the same this time next week.
My lower back is still aching, i think the nausea has calmed down although got stronger after eating weatabix this morning which was strange as i didnt go. Other than that paracetmol seems to have stopped the headaches and dizzyness although i am still bloated and do not have an appetite even though i know my stomach is 'rumbling'

It helps alot thankyou, you have been a great help.

Also, could you tell me more about yeast infection? Such as how it comes about, symptoms, and the best way to deal with it as i've tried Google, and do not know exactly what i'm looking for.

What i have found makes me not so sure it's a yeast infection, i do not have any itching or burning, and the white discharge is not like 'cottage cheese' but is more of a slimey, thick-ish consistansy.

Thankyou.

It may not be a yeast infection then.

Would you describe it more like the consistency of mucous, like from a runny nose?  That can occur usually just before your period.  Does it have any odor?

Is your cycle usually regular?  How long about?

Yes I would and it did yes. my cycle varies, sometimes I am a week late or possibly early; sorry I do not note down dates. But I usually get a small amount of blood on the first day and then heavy for about 4 to 6 days, it rarely lasts 7 days.

For your prior question, yeast infections are common and result from when something upsets the balance. It could be from having sex, an injury to the lining of the vagina, anything that causes these to get out of balance. Taking antibiotics can cause this as well as it may kill the "good" bacteria.

What was the smell like?

Well, I am still a virgin but in mutual masterbation, it hurt at first but I put it down to happening for the first time and let him carry on although I did not reach orgasm. Sorry, I do not know how to describe the smell best as how discharge has smelt before, not strong and I could only smell it when I went to smell it. Apologies for the lack of detail.

Sometimes yeast infections are said to smell like "bread."  I don't really think that's what you have.  I think it's just normal mucous before your period.

I still think you're having some sort of GI issue, possibly a virus.

No it doesn't smell of bread, but dries a yellowy colour, and I thought I may have been but am experiencing more than usual, either that or I am just noticing it more. I'm unaware what that could be? if you could give me information on symptoms, ways to treat it and how long it would take, it would be greatly appreciated, thankyou once again. You've been a massive help and I hope others in the same situation find this post helpful.

Also, does it make a difference that I recently noticed I've been burping quiet a bit, which I find strange as it is not usually after drinking or eating, and as I have previously said I do not drink fizzy drinks.

Symptoms of a yeast infection: white "cottage cheese" type discharge, itching or burning feeling, pain when urinating or during sex.

You don't really have the symptoms.

Some discharge is normal.  Maybe you are just "noticing it" more.

I still think you have some sort of GI issue.  The burping is likely related.

Thankyou for replying once again, could you give me more information on a GI issue?

This is the 5th day i think i have been experiencing symptoms and i'm still bloated, i feel i have may gained some weight although that may be the bloating i am unsure. Also, as i am young i am unsure wether the fact that i think my nipples have grown is down to me growing, or pregnancy.

Hi Confused,



A typical stomach "bug" can last a week or more giving you the bloating, burping, etc. It's a virus, there's nothing you can do except allow it to run its course.



You say that "the fact that i think my nipples have grown" tells me you aren't sure. It's very common when having a pregnancy scare for you to focus on little things, looking for a clue. The first symptom for most women is a missed period. It's very early for any nausea (morning sickness) or anything of that type.



Try to relax. Stress/anxiety can also contribute to stomach issues.



Hang in there.

Thankyou so much, the only thing that worrys me is my stomach. I am constantly bloated, even if i dont eat; I have no appetite and easily feel full so my stomach is bigger than usual constantly.

My stress has reduced but i still have concerns, you've been a big help. Thankyou.

Okay, so it's the 4th and I haven't had my period hey, I'm still bloated, not much of an appetite, still experiencing some lower back pain, White discharge, stomach pains and vaginal pains. I'm peeing alot, although I think that is down to the increase on fluids I've been drinking. I'm very worried... how could these symptoms come a week later!? I've seen no sign of spotting, is it possible last months period wasn't a period and I'm only experiencing symptoms now? I'll have to add up dates but I'm not sure if it's possible. PLEASE repost... Thankyou.
