OB-GYN (Obstetrician-Gynecologist) Questions

Pregnancy

I had unprotected sex, and then a few days later became very nauseous and sensitive to smell. My boyfriend was worried I was pregnant but I said I wasn’t taking a test until I missed my period which I wasn’t getting for another week. That night I started spotting and I spotting for 2 days and then started bleeding and then started bleeding really really badly like it was no longer spotting it was going to bleed though my clothes bad so I assumed it was my period so I told my boyfriend I got my period a week early I’m not pregnant we’re in the clear, the bleeding lasted about 5 days just like a period. Now this week for 3 days now I have have dull cramps, my breasts have hurt so bad and been so tender my nipples especially, I’ve had frequent urination probably every 45 mins to an hour and it’s a full pee not just a little dribble either and heavily fatigued. I haven’t taken a pregnancy test yet because I’m scared too. I’m hoping it could be something else.

Hello,

Thanks for reaching out. A pregnancy test would solve the mystery for sure! It’s best to know sooner than later to ensure that you get early care if needed! If it’s negative, make you an appt with your GYN to get started on birth control to avoid future scares.

Good luck!
