    Hi,

    I'm currently one week from expected period date, but this month I've been feeling particularly off. I've had unprotected sex every other day since my last period ended Dec 30th, including the days over my expected ovulation date.

    For the last five days I've noticed the following:

    lower back pain similar to period cramps

    bloated and gassy

    milk like discharge soaking my underwear

    Breasts appear to be swollen, although there's no pain or itching or peculiar sensitivity

    Heartburn

    Increased appetite, I'm currently eating like a pig

    Increased saliva

    Fatigued all the time, I just feel restless

    24/7

    Headaches and hot flushes

    Irritable and overemotional, everything seems to be getting to me so suddenly

    And two nights in a row I've had vivid dreams, each different, but I never dream and if I do, I never remember them the day after

    Thoughts please?

    I am going to feel so dumb, but



    On Dec 27th I had unprotected sex with a guy I do not know very well. He pulled out and so I know how slim my Chances are but I’m feeling conflicted. We had sex and immediately for the next few days I felt so sick, like a cold hit me out of nowhere. I have been struggling with sickness since the week of thanksgiving though. On and off. But anyway, sick right after sex and I noticed my vagina was super irritated as well. All this was very distracting, and three days later I started my period which seemed super weird but I think with this incident i just was not paying attention. According to my period tracker I was right on time but it started out super heavy, lasted about 6 days and I think was oddly heavy for a few days or more and then turned dark brown but still lots of “old” blood coming out for a few days. Let me back track, when I started my period, I also went to the doctor that day to have an exam because the irritation I felt was not normal and i wanted to make sure it wasn’t an std. a few days later tests came back positive for BV, and after the appointment my vagina became sooooooo itchy! Like I’ve never experienced in my life. Was on flagly for a week and it did NOTHING! On the last day of my meds I went back to the doctor and they prescribed Clindomycin or something like that. I was experiencing lots of discharge which I know is normal from having BV. Well after another week of meds I went back to the doctor because I was still itchy!! This time tests came back positive for Candida, so I had a vaginal yeast infection. I was also having some cramps which I thought was weird but whatever. Plus I was feeling really tired and I know all of this could be from the meds and infections. Well they gave me 3 diflucan pills. Took one this last Friday, and again on Sunday morning. Felt sick the entire weekend, lots of cramps, every time I peed, which was a lot, I also pooped, again could be the meds. Well it’s wednesday now and I’m still having lots of cramps throughout the day and nausea/dizziness. I haven’t taken the third pill yet but am supposed to today. My period is not due for three more days but I don’t usually have cramps like this or sickness before a period. I also took a test last night and it was negative. So obviously I’m crazy but I’ve just never felt like this. Idk, I don’t feel sick, just not good. Plus with the yeast infection that could be to blame so I’m just confused. And obviously I’ll know for sure when my period comes this weekend but I need to hear from others. I have had achy side boobs and upper/inner arm pain, can’t tell if it’s my chest or actual boob. Cramps in upper and lower abdomen, hips pains, nausea/ dizziness which comes and goes with hot flashes(I’m usually always cold), not a huge appetite, stuffy/ runny nose, and a dry cough sometimes, and I think cause I’m so lost and thinking about it a ton, I’ve dreamt about being pregnant the past two nights! Anyone relate or think I’m just stressing? I’ve just never felt like this.

    Just wait a week and you will then know if your periods are coming or not...if not that could also be the Medications you’re taking that are causing the stress and discomfort image

    I just need a second opinion? My period is due around the 26th, but yesterday and today(the 4&5) I've had light pinkish red spotting, cramps, and this morning I've woken up with strong, back, arm, and leg pain. Is this implementation bleeding /cramping?

    I have been on the implant for 9 years all together and taken out each time to conceive two lovely boys! Age 2 & 6 the implant was amazing! Could fault it I'm now two years into my current implant and the last couple of weeks. Been getting all pregnancy symptoms! Feeling sicky tender boobs which are not as much now! Butterfly movements eating more weird dreams getting hot and flustered feeling tired the taste on my mouth and heaviness in my abdomen when laying flat and pulling when standing up? All exactly the same as when I did with my 2? Is this even possible on implant and if it is will it show on test at all? X

    Hey, I'm one week late on my period and it's been just over 2 weeks since conception. I've had hot flushes, slight cramping, diarrhoea, nausea and a loss of appetite over the past few days. My periods in the last year or two have been regular and on time. I took a pregnancy test the day after my period was due but it came back as negative. Could I still be pregnant and is it worth taking another pregnancy test now or waiting another week to see if I get my period?

    Thank you for your help!

    Hello all. So I'm a little bit worried I could be pregnant. I have had a lot of the symptoms above except the heavy boobs. My boobs never feel heavy exactly not even before my period but they have been hurting more then usual, especially if I jog anywhere. Lol. I've had a bit of a gut feeling something is different this time. I took a pregnancy test a few days a go and it read negative. I've got another one that I'm going to take later on this week. I'm late for my period by a day or so. I'm really unsure whether these are really bad period symptoms or are something else. It's so hard to tell... Any advice on what to do. Should I take the other test sooner rather then later or should I wait at least a few days after my missed period x many thanks

    Hello im two days late on my period. I took a test the day before my missed period and it came up a very faint line ( I used the clearblue early responce) I took another day the day I was expecting my period and came up another line more visible the the 1st. So I went to get the clearblue digital and that said not pregnant so I'm unsure on what to think. Have has anybody else had this with the clearblue tests and still ended in good result?
