I think I may be pregnant, but I'm scared to ask anyone around me or to go to the doctor. (stupid huh!?!) Below is my situation:
*I am in my late 20s.
*I recently lost my V.
*My boyfriend and I did not use protection.
*My last M was in late November.
*I experience bloating and I think intestinal gas.
*I initially experience breasts tenderness.
*I experience breasts enlargement, but this comes and goes.
*I have an increase in V discharge without it's unpleasantness.
*My weight goes up & down by a few pounds.
*I can't say definitely that I have food cravings or moodiness.
*I do feel tired
*I spit frequently
*I experienced day long nausea for what I think may have been the first trimester.
*I have vomitted a few times, which is strange since I can't recall when last I vomitted before this year. I even vomitted last night.
*My abdomen is changing in shape to one that is more like what I have seen of pregnant women.
*I have strange, increasingly frequent muscular spasm and cramping in my lower abdomen and a strange, lingering pain in my groin area.
On the flip side:
*I went to a doctor of naturopathy in January, analysed my blood and learned that I have a bad case of yeast infection in my blood. Symptoms of this disorder are shared with pregnancy like bloating, nausea, tiredness, crankiness, etc. I did not mention my suspicion to him nor did he identify it.
*He recommended that I take certain products and make some dietary changes. I have tried but can't seem to stomach them, including a laxative medication and a nutrition powder to help me absorb nutrients from the foods I eat (poor absorption is another problem identified from my blood analysis).
*I used to urinate frequently, but now it is a lot less. The high presence of protein in my blood and apparent overworking kidneys were the causes identified for the frequency.
*Despite being a relatively health conscious person, I now have to closely monitor my blood sugar levels since I may be at risk for developing diabetes. (I heard that pregnancy can cause women to have high blood sugar!?!)
*I have started exercising (aerobics twice per week) on the doctor's recommendations since then.
*I am under some increasing stress at work, with my studies and at home. I am feeling increasing mental distress about my physical state and the impact it others around me.
I know that I need to see a doctor. I haven't seen one in years since I thankfully enjoy good health, but have started looking into going to an ob/gyn. I have looked up a few websites, some have suggested a great likelihood that I may be pregnant others no. Please tell me, what do you think.
