well, i had my period like 3 weeks ago, i have had sex since then. with a condom. But over the past few weeks, ive been gaining abnormal weight. i say abnormal because im a very thin girl and i have been trying to gain weight for years, and suddenly i am. I have been extremely moody and very emotional. the other night i felt really really hot, i thought i had a fever. I haven't had much of an appetite, but i have been very thirsty, and going to the bathroom much more often. I get a quick runny nose off and on. and been experiencing alot of gas pains. i dont feel nausious and my breasts don't hurt. Im just really scared. Please give me your input, unless you dont have anything nice to say. thankyou.

Well nothing but abstinence is 100% effective so there is always a chance of pregnancy. The symptoms you're describing are definitely pregnancy symptoms however, it seems a little early for you to be experiencing all of those, but of course it is definitely possible. The only thing you can do is to wait until you expect your next period to come. An early results home test (like First Response) may be able to tell you if you are pregnant 5 days before your period is due! (especially if you use first morning urine) However, if the result is negative and you don't get your period as normal then it may have just been too early to test. (Oh & another option is to have a quick visit to the doc, a blood test can tell for sure if you are pregnant or not and if it is negative then a dr may be able to tell you what is causing the symptoms you're experiencing.)Best of Luck!

Many home pregnancy tests now are very sensitive to the hormones that jump up when you get pregnant and will give an accurate result before your next period is due. There is a chance that you will get a FALSE positive or negative, so don't count on it 100%. Another week/week and a half is a long time to wait. If your periods are irregular, that can make you more nervous about "Am I or am I not?!" The cost of a home pregnancy test is worth the peace of mind.
Whatever you do, DO NOT consume alcohol or drugs. These can affect the development from the very day you concieve. Lots of women get pregnant when they are drunk or high becaue your inhibitions are lower. Just be careful about what you consume, just in case you ARE pregnant.
Best of luck to you.

Congratulations! Motherhood is a wonderful joy. Also you are guaranteed no boredom between now and the year 2025. You might consider getting an pregnancy test kit at the local pharmacy to make sure it IS the joy of pregnancy, and not some stupid internal digestion problem. BTW do you know who the lucky Dad is? If so, you might consider getting with him so he may share the joy! It might be a good time to get some sort of support commitment from him, you know, just for practical reasons. You should probably head over to Planned Parenthood to find out what all your options are. Stop smoking, drugs and booze now. Enjoy!!!

If you haven't had unprotected sex, you most likely are not pregnant. That isn't to say it's not possible. Also, you don't begin noticably gaining weight so early in a pregnancy!! It's too soon to tell. When in doubt, consult a doctor. They should be able to tell you what those symptoms are a sign of, and do a realiable pregnancy test for you.

I say wait until your next period to see if it comes. I know it sounds like a long wait, but really, a missed period is the only telltale sign. That, and a positive pregnancy test. Maybe you are pregnant, it sounds like you could be. If you don' want to wait that long, go get blood test from your doctor, that is 100% accurate.

The best thing to do is take a pregnancy test to make sure....It sounds like pregnancy symptoms....but it could be hormonal changes or something else...wait until you are close to your expected period and take a test or you can go and have a blood test...Good Luck!
