I'm 22 and think I could possibly be pregant. I was pregnant before when I was 19 and had an abortion and I remember clearly the symptoms and how my body felt. I should've gotten my period about 1 1/2 wks ago. I feel like my breats are sore, but not as sore as I remember them being before (before it hurt to touch). Also, before I had the worst morning sickness, I was sick for about 3 hours a morning. I've only gotten sick once (this morning and it wasnt bad at all but I also got sick before I went to bed last night).
I do have an irregular menstrual cycle because my weight fluctuates.
I have very poor eating habits and usually consume most of my food at night. I've also been losing hair, but I'm not sure if this is due to stress, or the nutrition I've been lacking.
Last time I was pregnant I KNEW it- this time I think I could be and I feel like all the stress I've been dealing with, plus wondering about this, could be playing up symtoms in my head that aren't really there.

Take a test for crying out loud. The new ones are accurate very early.

Every pregnancy is different. So just because it's not a carbon copy of the last one doesn't mean you're not pregnant. You're going to have to wait another week and then take a test. That way your body should be producing enough HCG to show up on a home test. If it's negative, you're probably really stressed out due to thinking you might be pregnant and other things you have to deal with in life. Stress can do weird things to your body. So try to relax a bit, take a warm bubble bath tonight, and sit back and do nothing for awhile. Read, watch TV, get online, whatever. It'll help you feel better whether you're pregnant or not. Good luck!! =)

its sounds like you need to take a test. home pregnancy tests are now just are reliable as the ones you get done at the doctors & can give an accurate result from the very day your period should have arrived.
the symptoms you describe do sound like pregnancy. but they also sound like stress, an unhealthy lifestyle or you could be noticing things that point to pregnancy because pregnancy is on your mind.... no pregnancy is alike, so dont question the differences between now & last time, there really is no point - mine have all been different.
im sorry i cant help more, the only way to tell for sure is to get tested, or you will spend a long time wondering unless you get your period. good luck.

Every pregnancy is different. The symptoms I had with my first child did not show up the second time around. Thank the Lord!I lost hair every time I was pregnant because of hormones. I could not eat with my first child. The second, I ate everything that did not eat me! It is possible that this is in your head, and stress can delay your period. If you are pregnant, you are not that far along. I would wait another week and do an early pregnancy test to make sure.

I was the same way. I was pregnant 8 years ago and I knew then that I was pregnant too. And everytime my period was late I would begin to wonder if I was pregnant again. This time I tried to relax a bit though and I just waited another week to find out. Along with waiting I gave myself time to listen to my body and not stress about it. Then I took a test with morning urine and found out for sure. So my advice is just relax and trust in yourself. You will then know what you need to do. Good Luck

It is possible you are pregnant, especially if you are having unprotected sex. I would see a doctor to be sure, there are free clinics in every city. If you are pregnant, I would start eating healthier, and get exercise. If you are losing your hair it is not a good sign. I would make an appointment and see a gynecologist. Tell them you are losing your hair, sometimes lacking in Progesterone hormone can cause this, also being overweight can cause you to be Estrogen Dominant, which puts you at greater risk for miscarriage.

It is possible that it is all in your head. Stress can feel like a pregnecy sometimes. The best thing to do is go to your doctor and get checked out. Even if you are not pregnent, your doctor can help with your stress.

Every pregnancy is different so you could be. Best go to the doctor because it could easily be something else, like a hormonal problem. Or do a home test asap then go to a docs

Go to your doctor and stop guessing on your health and potential pregnancy. Your symptoms can be physical or mental (depression?).
Also having unprotected sex especially after being pregnant is not smart for the future health of yourself and children that you do want to have.
You need to take control of your own health and actions first.

If I were you, I'd take a home pregnancy test first. But at the same time, you should schedule an appt. with a doctor to discuss some of your other concerns.
