ok so last month my period was a week late but then it came on but was heavier than usual.now oct and it is a week late again.i havent had any cramping or any pre period spotting but my face has broken out.I am more emotional than usual crying over petty stuff,im eating more and have gained almost 9 pounds in two weeks,my bra size is 38 d and now my boobs are just waiting to spill out of my bra.lol I have been having alot more headaches and a couple of migraines lately,and more fatigue.When i have to use the bathroom im now running to the bathroom because it feels as if im going to bust and now waking up in the midddle of the night going to the bathroom as well. i havent been on any birth control since 2005.and me and my boyfriend have benn doing the pull out method recently.I havent take a pregnancy test yet kinda still in denial at the fact that i may be.Am i pregnant?

Hello Anonymous,

Take a pregnancy test now. For the most accurate result, test in the morning. Use the urine when you first wake up and use the bathroom.

And yes i have been eating! Not as much though but i am making sure, i usually pack two sandwches and a bit of left over food from dinner the night before and generally id eat it all within 2 breaks at work, and sometimes a snack before work, but now im not eating anything before work cause it makes me feel sick and maybe half my sandwich and some left overs, and cheese and crackers when i get off work, also work 3-11pm shift so i try not to eat too big before bed

I check them usually about 3-5 timea a day but this past week has been about once every hour or so and they have been great! A bit higher like between 9.0-13.5 ish then the rest of the day its usually 8-6.0 then after around 7 pm it starts to drop 4.0-3.0 but these past few days have been solid 6.0 to 9.0 other than a couple 4.0 readings and i find i get extreamly week around those readings but i drink a bit less than i usually would and hold off on my activity. For a half hour (during work) and it will be back at 6.8 but! In other news, i did go for blood work yesterday afternoone cause my doctor wanted me.. Turns out i am pregnant! Very scarry but very happy as well! I have an appt with my specialists and family doctor again next week and im booking my ob/gyno appt on monday! If i did the math right and i wasnt pregnant during the beginning of my light period i should be 6 weeks, 7 next week obv!

Also! Another very important thing i forgot to mention is i am a type one diabetic (insulin dependant) ive noticed too the past week or so my blood sugard have been going low during the afternoon to late night so starting anywhere from 6 pm to 11 pm, nothing has changed diet wise besides a little lacking in my appetite.

Hello BEEBEE,

That is very important.

How often do you check your glucose level? When do you give yourself insulin? Have you been eating less because of your lack of appetite?

Hi there! So i am having some concerns right now about a possible pregnancy, i came off birth control about 6-7 months ago and i am sexually active with my boyfriend and no, we dont use protection. I usually have a pretty regular period and get it on the 28th of each month, but the past 3 months i have gotten it a week or so late, usually leading up to between 5th or the 8th of the month. It has also been really light as well, to the point where a panti liner can last me pretty much all day with nothing on it. I have not gotten my period for the month of june yet, and its now the 14th of july, no signs of pms and i usually get it very bad. just extreamly emotional over almost everything, crying over little things. I work at a machine operator so at times my work can be very phyically demanding, these last few days i have had really bad headaches and back pains, also cramping in my ribs and lower stomach area, they aren't menstrul camps i know that. To top it off ive been very weak when doing anything, i have no energy and i get light headed easily. My breast dont really hurt but they are tender to the touch. I was planning on taking a pregnancy test next week if i havent gotten my period by the end of this week, i dont want to dwell on it too much but could pregnancy be a possibility

Hello BEEBEE,

It will be a good idea to take a pregnancy test if you haven't gotten your period by the end of this week.

Strongly consider scheduling an appointment with your primary care physician. All the symptoms you mention are not normal and you really need to find out what the underlying cause is.

Regards,

I was almost a week late last month my period normally comes on the 11th or 12th. It came on the 16th or 17th ...this month its the 19th no period and I been having crazy back and headaches and it kinda feels uncomfortable when I bend forward or lean forward ...could I be pregnant?

Hello Anonymous,

Pregnancy would be likely if you had unprotected intercourse since your last period in April. If so, then take a home pregnancy test. Test in the morning and use the first urine when you wake up.

If you have not had unprotected intercourse, consult your physician to find out why your period is late and why you are having headaches, back pain and feeling uncomfortable when bending or leaning forward.

Please keep us updated,
