Need answers, please help!

I'm not exactly sure where to start, so I'll just start from here :

For the past 2 months, I've been having unprotected sex with my boyfriend. We aren't exactly trying to have a baby right now, but there's just some little voice in my head that hopes we have one eventually.

In December, I had a basically normal period - I have a naturally heavy flow that lasts for at least five days and we did have sex around my expected ovulation day, which was somewhere in the week of the 20th-26th. However, in January, my period was only 2 days long and exceptionally lighter than normal. In the last week, I've noticed an increased pain in my back, like a achey dull pain you get when you have a fever. My BBT has been slightly higher than normal this month as well. The past few days I've had extremely bad constipation - which I never get - and it's been three or four days since my last bowel movement. There's this light achey cramping in my lower abdomen and I've been bloated for a few days.

I guess, my question is has anyone else had these symptoms or am I just assuming something out of nothing? I have yet to take a HPT, part of me thinks it's because I'm scared of knowing the truth either way. Is that normal for someone to think?

 Please help, all help is appreciated.

Even if anyone had similar symptoms, they don't mean anything for you. Take a test if you think you might be pregnant.

Do you have a link to your chart?

You need to POAS.  We can't tell if you are pregnant or not, only a test can.  Also, if your BF isn't totally on board with getting pregnant, then you need to use protection.

If you had unprotected sex, then yes, there is a chance you could be pregnant.  Yes, it's normal to analyze symptoms when you're TTC.  They could be something, they could not.  The only thing that's going to be able to tell you, either way, is a HPT.

This.

Also, my periods got lighter and I started experiencing lower back pain after I stopped birth control. That's my new normal for PMS/AF. Did you recently get off the pill? That can make things weird for a while.

Other than that, try not to read too much into anything. If you think you're pregnant, take a test. If it's negative, you're either not pregnant or it's too early.  Keep testing once a week until AF, a BFP, or CD60. If you hit CD60, call your doctor.

That's all any of us can really tell you.

I had the same symptoms when I needed to take a poop. Try that. Then take a test.

After that, stop trying to get pregnant without your BFs knowledge.

January 10, 2013: Lap removed paratubal cyst and Stage 2 Endometriosis.

The answer you seek needs to come from peeing on a stick, not from strangers on the Internet. And if you are not pregnant, you need to use protection or you need your bf on board 1000% with TTC.

I get those same symptoms right before AF comes. Peeing on a stick is the only way to know if you are or are not pregnant.

Why are you taking your BBT and having unprotected sex if you aren't TTC? It sounds like you are secretly hoping to get KU without your BF knowing it and that is just not okay.

This. Get on BC if your boyfriend isn't on board with having a baby. I'll never understand why women do this.

If you're pregnant enough to feel symptoms, you're pregnant enough to get a positive test. I get that it can be scrary, but if you are pregnant, peeing on a stick isn't going to change it. Just like if you're not, peeing on a stick won't make you pregnant. We can't tell you whether you are or not, so put yourself out of your misery and POAS.

This. Also, it's definitely normal to feel every symptom under the sun in a pregnancy scare.

Please don't be so lax with your fertility in the future.  This is serious business and you BOTH should be very clear in what you want before taking these risks.

Sounds like poop pains to me. Take some metamucil or Fiber one. If after you take a nice poop and still feel off, poas.

Ah see now OP you're giving penguins a bad name.

Also, instead of listening to whatever voices are in your head, open your mouth and have a conversation with your BF. From your post, it doesn't sound like you and your BF are on the same page (although, why he's then consenting to unprotected sex I'm not sure).

Cuz condoms suck, man!

 

ETA: OP, quite a few of us have already seen your childish looking pics. Making your profile private now isn't going to forget that you look like you're about 16. And I don't mean just physical looks, I mean the poses, clothes, etc.
