Slightly Worried
Jul 19 2007, 3:21 AM EDT My periods have always been extremely irregular, varying from getting it every month ,to every other month, to not getting it for nine months. I have never been able to tell when I was going to get my period until recently when i thought i had a pattern going. I was getting it every other month and the month I did not get a period I would have light bleeding for one day. That lasted for about four months. I have talked to my doctor about this and I'm considering going on the pill, but I have never used a contraceptive before. But my irregularity is not what concerns me... My boyfriend and I started having sex a little over a month ago. We've been very careful and we've used a condom everytime. However, the first time we thought the condom might have slipped a little bit, so we were a little concerned, but not much. According to the little schedule I was getting used to I was supposed to get my period a few days after that first time. A full period, not just spotting. I still have yet to get my period and I'm a little worried. Normally I'm used to skipping a period or two, but I've never been sexually active before so I don't know if I should be freaking out or not. My stomach has been feeling weird and gets pains a lot and I get very dizzy, but it may just all be in my head. I kinda want to get a pregnancy test, but I think I'd be too nervous to actually take it and I'm not sure when its too early to test for pregnancy. If anyone has any advice or input I would really really appreciate it. =] 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

Jul 19 2007, 11:43 AM EDT I think taking a pregnancy test will most likely ease your mind. I know how nerve-wracking it can be, but it really is better to know! With your history of irregularity, this "missed" period very well may not mean anything. You may be shifting to a new pattern, and becoming sexually active may have affected your hormones and changed your cycle a bit (that is also perfectly normal). But with the cramping and dizziness, I really think it would be a good idea to check it out - take a test, and if it is negative consider seeing your doctor anyway to talk about what else might be causing your symptoms. Good luck! 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

Jul 19 2007, 1:23 PM EDT Thanks! I'm going to buy a test in a few days. It really helps hearing someone tell me what I should do and what the possibilities are. Eased my mind a little already. =] Do you find this valuable? |
