what is going on?!

Ok i would post as annon...but well whats the point? its just silly.

Ok so i was due on my period on the 12th , most of last week I was feeling sick in the morning and on and off all day along with just before i go to bed, I've also been having terrible headaches,tender/swollen breasts,being really tired, I've been very hot this past week aswell and been going to the toilet more than ususall. ( The only 'symptons' of my period coming is cramps)

So naturally i got worried and took a test, the first one was negitive so i went to the doctors yesturday and took another one which also said negative. The doctor said that i should come back next week if my period doest come. This morning my period has come, BUT I've still got all these other pregnacy symptons happening!

I'm just really confused to what is going on?

I know you're not doctors or whatever but it would be usefull :smile:

Sounds like a rush of hormones, this happens when your stressed or apart of growth. If your stressed it might be why your period was late.

We used condoms

well from what i know its one of the most reliable methods. me and my girlfriend have always used condoms, she was late by a couple of weeks once but it was ok in the end.

Nah sounds like a phantom pregnancy to me, I've had a few convincing ones.. but the more you think about your symptoms, the worse they are. I know psychologists have a special word for it, and I don't think it's "mental".. :tongue: Try not to stress, you'll be fine :smile:

What you've described sounds pretty much like the things you experience before your period. Sometimes you get it worse than other times-no explanation-just one of those things.

dude, she said she had her period, she knows she isnt pregnant.

do people even read these comments?

I thinks thats why she said 2%, cause condoms are only 98% reliable. Most reliable method is 'double dutch', with both a condom and an implant/pill/injection.

Is it a "proper" period or light spotting?

98% is for the lawyers, I reckon i've used over 300 in my life. No sprogs yet!

I never used to experience any of that before a period either, up until recently and now i get everything you're describing. Now...i know i'm not pregnant, nor is it even slightly possible. So welcome to the world of f***ing periods lol I thought i was lucky...guess i'm not so anymore!

erm...ive been having my periods since i was 12 and i've NEVER experence any of these symponts before. The sick feeling is really weird cos i never feel ill unless i actully am and that isnt often, it also doesnt com from my stomach its comes from my throat which is also weird :/

Yeah I get that. Does it feel sort of tight? I could never find any reason for it but it makes me feel really odd.

Yeah i know...thats why i said, i never used to have that pain either. I used to be pain free on my periods, but all of a sudden now i have! What i meant was, now i guess we're going to see why everyone hates it so much! I'm rarely ill or sick, i haven't been ill for a very very long time (except rare alcohol moments) but this happened to me. Especially the last time because i got a real pain in the area under my stomach and i couldnt move it was horrible i felt like i was going to be sick, and i thought this has got to be the before period thing, because i'd been getting pre-period 'warnings' if you like recently....but i didn't come on. My friend got really worried and wanted me to go to the doctors but sure enough the next day i came on, and the pains went after a day. I'm fine now, i really honestly think you shouldn't worry about it, it's just pre-period things.

Just do what your GP suggest there is nothing you can do until then.
