I'm looking for advice as to whether I could be pregnant or not. It would be great if a nurse or doctor came on here and read this... or maybe someone with a similar experience. Of course, I will end up seeing a doctor/having a pregnancy test etc.. but I just wanted to hear someone else's thoughts. So excuse my bluntness, but I will be speaking openly about this just so people can relate exactly to what I mean.
My partner and I had intercourse last month, a few times over the space of a week. I wasn't due to have a period yet, but during intercourse I bled. This bleeding came with cramps and only lasted a day (Normally my periods last 5 days.) I felt that something was different from then. We also had intercourse after that bleeding too. A month later, I was very late having my period and my bleeding wasn't the same. Even though I had that bleeding, I still felt that maybe there could be a chance that I was pregnant. Now I'm having frequent dizzy spells, almost feeling like I could pass out... I'm having abdominal cramps, headaches and back pain that causes me to need support with a pillow when I sleep. There is also this feeling of 'stretching' within the groin area too. And nerve pains down my leg like as if something is pressing on the sciatic nerve. The one big thing that would lessen the chance of pregnancy is that my partner has had a vasectomy. Of course this is a HUGE factor. But I still 'feel' pregnant. The chances must be very low, but it's not impossible. Can you help? Any thoughts?
1) If your partner had a vasectomy and he had a post operative check, then if you are pregnant he cannot be the father.
2) If the history that you give, that of your last NORMAL period being some 7weeks away, then it is POSSIBLE that you are pregnant.
Vasectomies can sometimes reverse themselves spontaneously but it is incredibly rare! I doubt that you are pregnant but maybe you should do a test just to ease your mind. If it is negative then you should make an appointment to see your GP about the irregularity of your periods and the pain you are having.
Before I discovered I was pregnant 10 weeks ago, I had lower abdominal pains, quite like period pain and my lower back was aching and felt a stretching feeling, which I'm still getting.
It's hard to know if you're pregnant unless you take the leap and do a test (I take it you don't want to be pregnant)?
I don't know how old you are, but could you be experiencing Menopausal symptoms or some other hormonal problem?
