Could very well be pregnancy, but this sounds IDENTICAL to the symptoms I have with endometriosis+IBS! I hope you don't have that. The things you described though, are to a tee how sufferers with IBS+Endometriosis feel each month. The digestive issues really make it sound like IBS. Endometriosis is often accompanied with IBS and I had the misfortune of having them both since my early teens. I had surgery and no change, but a year ago I started eating Virgin coconut oil and taking aloe vera in pill form and totally diminished my IBS! The endometriosis is hardly noticeable until it's time for my period and then it feels a lot like you described only less painful than what it was before the aloe. Getting high quality aloe is so expensive though, so this month I've been working on growing my own and taking it that way. It's so much cheaper and is more potent than the pill form. If you find out you aren't pregnant, I'd highly recommend trying just a small teaspoon of virgin coconut oil (NOT refined). Coconut oil is a must if it is IBS. Aloe does wonders, but the coconut oil will kill candidiasis. That's why you only start out with a small amount! You can get "herxheimers," which is also called "die off" where the candida albicans are being killed off and are releasing toxins, which make you feel sick to your stomach for a couple of hours. I made the mistake of upping my dose to two tablespoons once and never did that again! If it is IBS, the coconut oil will take care of it in no time, especially if it seems to just now have started.

Have you been on a round of antibiotics lately? That's usually the cause of IBS. I have to take anti-fungals, probiotics hardcore when I'm on a round of antibiotics because my IBS symptoms come flooding back. Usually, I don't have the symptoms unless I've been on the antibiotics for over a month.

I don't know. It sounds so close to all three things: pregnancy, IBS and endo. I hope you're OK though! less

Still no definitive answers, but I'm still early. I'm guessing I ovulated early. "Implantation bleeding" and "conception" lined up perfectly if I did and was under stress and that could cause it.

I've noticed even more things. The twinges haven't left. They bounce back and forth between my right ovary and the right side of my uterus, but have been getting lower. Today the right side of my uterus felt tingly/tickly for most of the day. My boobs are sore now and I've gained half a cup size. My nipples/areolas look bigger and bumpier. I've put on about 5 pounds in two weeks. (I'm tiny, so that's a lot.) My cravings are nuts. Tons of stuff has no taste at all or tastes terrible. I always have to pee. Oh, and I want to cry over everything. Also had a couple beers the other night like I normally do and puked. Not normal at all.

I've been taking tests, but I get stuff that doesn't tell me anything. Could be evaporation lines although they were blue and showed up within a minute. I'm still 5 days away from my period. Tested yesterday and it was weird faint/skinny lines. I was at my doctor's office and saw the nurse and mentioned something to her because she saw that I'd put on some weight (heavier than I was when I started taking Adderall 4 months ago) and she talked to the doctor and told me it was too early to test. I'm going back in a week. I'd be at just about 4 weeks, but I have a crazy long cycle anyway.

With everything that's been going on I'm 99% sure I am. If I'm not I must have some crazy hormonal disease which I doubt.

Bad thing is . . . the potential father is being incredibly self-centered and has no desire to talk to me until I have proof. Even then, he said he owes nothing to me, just a child. He makes me feel like I was to blame even though he was the one who whipped the condom off at the last minute and had terrible aim. Worse thing is that I was totally in love with him. I'd posted about him a couple times recently. He's "too stressed" to deal with all of this. I asked him his opinion on all of it and he said he didn't care what I did. I'm 25. I'm taking what life throws at me right now whether it's "easy" or not.

But thank you all so much for your support. less

Want a group of us to do something awful to him? (Like tie him face down in a chicken yard and piss on him?) Since he obviously won't take any responsibility (not even to comfort you while you're scared and uncertain) ... I don't think anyone would mind.

Okay, so over the last week or so a bunch of stuff happened:

- Boobs felt strange. More sensitive than normal making me more conscious of my bra or anything they come in contact with. Now tingly and slightly larger.

- Nipples feel extra sensitive and are becoming slightly sore.

- I'm bloated for no particular reason.

- Digestive issues.

- Breaking out like crazy. Hair and face are oilier than normal.

- Feels like I'm having allergies even though I never do.

- Muscular aches like I've been working out. Not steady or anything, just when I move. Abs, lower back, and calves. Plus a weird tension in my lower pelvis/hip region.

- Fatigue and total mental fogginess.

- Light spotting starting yesterday. Mostly when I pee, but not steady. Started a darker red and tapered to light pink/brown and is now gone. (This has never happened to me before)

- Temperature higher than normal. Chills and hot flashes randomly.

- Random dizzy spells.

- Crazy emotional mood swings. One second I'm fine and the next I'm super cranky or on the verge of tears for no reason.

- Twinges on one side of where my uterus should be.

- I normally have no appetite but have been constantly hungry over the last few days.

- About a week ago and then a couple days ago I had clear, thick stringy discharge that was way thicker than normal fertile stuff. No smell. Nothing else abnormal.

- Woman bits are more sensitive and slightly itchy/irritated (I have a delicate ecosystem and anything throws it off.)

- Craving for things I normally don't enjoy. Bitter things like unsweetened black tea and super dark chocolate. Also for healthier foods like fruits and veggies. I normally enjoy carbonated drinks but have no desire for them.

- Constantly thirsty. Much more than usual.

- Nausea caused by any mention of fried or greasy food or trying to eat any of it. Dry heaving after taking a couple bites of something earlier today.

- Everything tastes much more bland and unappealing. Love mushrooms, now have become utterly disgusting. Smoking a cigarette was torture this morning. I can't stand anything sugary. The medication I normally take without any issues suddenly tastes horrible.

- I smell everything within a 5 mile radius (and apparently it's all disgusting). Almost puked when walking into my kitchen this morning. (We have slightly dirty dishes.)

- I have to pee every 5 seconds even if I haven't been drinking anything.

- I'm on Adderall and have absolutely no desire to take it even though I thought I'd die without it.

From what I'm guessing, I'm about 11-13 days past ovulation. 14 days since the incident that might have caused this. Still too early for a late period. My PMS is never this serious. Does this seem a little unusual to anyone else?

I'm just trying to make sure I'm not the only one here who sees that this might be something a little . . . out of the ordinary. Nothing even crossed my mind until the crazy spotting that I've never ever had before. less
