So here's my problem... 'Aunt Flow' hasnt come to see me in over 3 months now and dispite the fact that I watch VERY carefully what I eat and I exercise daily I am still gaining quite a bit of weight (like 10 pounds in 2 weeks type weight) especially in my tummy... but I dont have the sore boobs, no sickness, or anything... so I'm a bit freaked out by the whole thing and I keep trying to tell myself it's just stress... anyone have any words of advice??

Take a test. Nothing will make you feel any better than knowing.

Regardless of whether you want to know or not, and regardless of whether you want kids or not, there won't be any other way of knowing until its too late.

Yes. One word -- TEST.

[Nevaeh]

take the test...if you put it off...you'll just stress yourself out even more

[Onyx]

Wow.

How in the world did you stand not knowing all this time? I would have gone to the drugstore and bought a test as soon as my period didn't arrive the first time. No way would I have been able to wait three full months.

It really sounds like you may be pregnant. I'd definitely take a test now.

Sometimes any change in diet and exercise can affect your cycle. I went for months and months without cuz i had ovarian cysts.

But that's more a big-girl thing. I don't even have the problem anymore.

The tummy weight is kind of a symptom though. Let us know your results, maybe? =) so we can know whether to breathe a sigh of relief with you or congratulate you

well my problem is not having the money to buy the test and for the second month I was in jail so I couldnt really go to the store exactly... it's been driving me nuts, I'm pretty positive about it, but like I said... I REALLY want that test to knoe for sure... who knows... maybe it's just a tumor instead...

I thought if you were in jail, you were entitled to medical care?

Go to a free clinic (maybe Planned Parenthood) in your area if you can't afford a test. If you are, that will totally throw off your military plans ...

And if you are and your that far along, you need prenatal care. The state will help you with that if you are.

You might just be working out too hard. It stopped mine once but I wasn't underweight......

Or a hormonal imbalence.

Go to Planned Parenthood. Most work on a sliding scale based on your income.

When you are there, you can also apply for a kind of insurance called Plan First that, again, is based on your income. If you are approved (you'll find out a few weeks after you apply), it will cover the cost of office visits for family planning related services, prescriptions for birth control, contraceptive supplies/devices, lab tests, treatment of sexually transmitted infections, and some sterilizations.

Good luck.

I have insuarance for the next couple of months, but there's still that $20 co-pay for visits, which I dont have - there's a free clinic I found about a mile from me, so I'll be going there when I have a chance

[Vampyro]

wow... babies scare me... especially the thought of ever producing an offspring of my own... but you do know the great thing about michigan? The cold weather... really think...

walking into a wallmart or somewhere with a big coat on isn't abnormal this time of year, go down the aisle the prego tests are and well... slip one in your coat. I wouldn't call it "stealing" since it's information you NEED to know, sorta like if you're hungry and need food. You're just say.. "aquiring" it.

You could just "borrow" it and return it when you're done, but you wouldn't get to see the face of the next person to grab the box and open it... but i could only imagine heheheh
