Need help..

Hi, my last period started on the 31st of March. I had unprotected sex on the 12th of April (Sunday) when we arrived on vacation. The next morning I realized that I had forgotten my pills at home (and I didn't have my prescription with me) so I didn't take my pills from the 13th till the 19th. We used condoms while we were away.  I had really bad cramping and nausea (which I usually don't have) then yesterday (the 20th) I started bleeding lightly then it got heavier. My Gynecologist is out of town so I have to wait two weeks until I see her (she's the only one I feel comfortable seeing). Can I still be pregnant by chance cause I'm not feeling myself at all. I might just be working myself up but I've never felt like this before. I know I'm bleeding from missing my pills but if there's a chance I might be pregnant I don't want to keep on taking my pills but I did start a new packet as soon as I started bleeding cause that's what my doctor said even though I still had over a week left in the other pack. Is it still to early to take a pregnancy test?

Hm  Well, it is hard to say and you know your body best.  I didn't feel anything when newly pregnant myself so didn't have anything you describe going on.  Try not to panic or worry.  Wait until your period is due and see how you feel . . .   if you still feel 'off', then take a test.  That's really the only way to know  Hope you come back and let us know the result.  good luck hon

we didn't travel by plane and that's usually when my body gets messed up. My normal period is due in 6 days. I don't think it's my usual period but the texture is different (sorry if that's too much info) and I'm feeling bloated all the time and using the toilet a lot! I don't know I just feel weird all the time :/

Hi there.  Well, when is your period due?  If that day has come and gone, take a home pregnancy test.  :>)  they are very accurate.  You are saying you have started bleeding but don't think it is your period or you are having unusual symptoms with this period?  You can still take a test.  That really is the only way to know  

I do know that when I travel, my body gets messed up.  I have a weird period often, issues with constipation and stomach issues.  So don't know if any symptoms can be attributed to that.  But take a test to ease your mind.  good luck
