In reply to: Mary 's message, "pregnant... need advice" on 12/ 8/06 8:40pm

I believe I'm in the same boat as you. I'm 21 and to be honest I'm not 100% positive that I'm pregnant. I won't even be able to take a home test till this weekend and I believe without a doubt that I am (I'm already spotting). I have no idea about waht to do and have the "deer in the headlight" feeling too. I'm so overwhelmed with anxiety also. I know how you feel.

Hi Andie,

As you can see by Mary's post your feelings are not at all uncommon! In fact, I'd say they are not so far from the norm in many cases.

I have responded to Mary in the other thread she started, so if you look there I imagine my response to you would be similar.

Is there something we can do to help? Please let me know what you find out either way and if there is anything I can do to help.

--Melanie

Actually I'm freaking myself out and can't tell whether I'm psychologically having these symptoms or I actually do have them. I stopped spotting on Monday (I had pinkish discharge on fri, sat, and sun). I feel really light headed and dizzy at times especially if I haven't had something to eat in awhile. I have oderless clear/whitish discharge frequently. I feel minor pains on my sides and just below my ribcage. I'm breaking out with acne. I also feel bloated and my face seems abit fuller. Now, the thing is I have had an ovarian cyst rupture in the past. I wonder if these could be symptoms of a cystic ovary. I may be stressing out over nothing too. The real icing on the cake with all this is that I have OCD and I can't help but obsess and catastrophize over this. I wish I could just take a home pregnancy test already to have some piece of mind.

I didn't even have unprotected sex (my boyfriend and I started and then I freaked and made him put a condom on. He pulled out with condom out before he ejaculated). I know that it is a proven fact that one can get pregnant from pre-ejaculate and that's waht truely worries me. I've just moved in with my brother in for college ( I start in January) and am distraught over not having a job. Maybe it's all this stress on top of my ocd. I am a total wreck!
Thanks for responding, it's helping me settle down. I can only hope that everything will be okay.
