Hey all!
I'm a 22 year old female. I've been dating my boyfriend for almost 3 and a half years. I'm also in university and it is currently exam period. Earlier in November I found out my body does not store iron so I've been taking vitamins like crazy, which have been helping my moods and overall health. I'm also using birth control pills and we use the pull out method. My last period was 3 weeks ago, and compared to the last three, it was lighter and shorter by a couple days.
About 11 days ago now I went to bed and right away threw up, I just pin pointed it to maybe a bug. However, the nausea has not ceased. About a week ago I started feeling a pulling sensation in my lower abdomen and also began to be more gassy. My breasts also began to get sore and I've been having to nap every day for the past 4 days. I also live away from my family and my best friends and a couple nights ago my one friend texted me, saying nothing out of the ordinary, and I started bawling. I've also noticed that my lower back is kind of throbbing, usually when I go to bed and I'm really chilly all of the time. I also experienced cramps like my period cramps, but they seem to be gone now. All of this is completely out of the norm, and I've never experienced nausea and even the vomiting while I've been stressed... I'm just really confused as to if I should wait to go to the doctor, or if I should take a pregnancy test, or if it would be too early.
Thanks!
