Hello I'm 22 years old and I am experiencing these symptoms: for eight days now I've felt like I'm going to start my period and I'm not suppose to start until Thursday, I feel nauseous and bloated , I started getting headaches today and my legs feel tired I'm also very tired during the day, and sometimes I feel light headed.
When I was 14 I had a cyst the size of an orange on my ovary . I was put on birth control and still am on it. Lately I've been lazy not taking my pill on time sometimes forgetting all together and I had unprotected sex. How do I know if I'm pregnant or have a cyst?? My period should come on Thursday but I'm just so anxious is there any way I can tell now???

Started my period today..a little early than normal but at least that let's me know I'm not pregnant. Kind of depressing I was starting to get really excited even though I'm no where near being financially prepared for a baby having one would be so great. I would take being pregnant over having a cyst anytime :( so sad.

Hi jlynn44,
It's best to see your doctor and explain the changes in your appetite. Sometimes stress and other factors can cause these changes.
Best,

Hi jlynn44 ,
Welcome to EmpowHER. If you had unprotected sex, your chances for pregnancy to occur are higher. You will need to wait until your period is due and take a home pregnancy test or see your doctor, to know if you have an ovarian cyst.
Best,

I also have a decrease in appetite and no changes in breasts would that be normal if I am pregnant? Or is that something I should be worried about
