NOW I'm really freaking out!!!

The last time I had sex was October 26th. I had a withdrawal bleed on November 9th. The only other time I could have gotten pregnant this month was in the shower with my boyfriend. We were kissing in the shower and I am afraid he "bumped" me and I somehow got pregnant from his pre-ejaculate because there had been a recent ejaculation (the night before), but he did urinate right before the incident. We did not have sex. I am on the pill but always afraid it doesn't work. Since 6 days after the incident, I noticed the left side of my groin hurts to push on it. I thought it was swollen lymph nodes, but my mom said she feels nothing there and it is in my head. The pain was only there when I pushed on it, but now it is there all the time. It is not really pain, just an ache feeling...not even enough to need Advil. It also goes down my left leg and just feels like something needs to crack. It does not bother me to sleep or walk or do yoga. I have also been having a lot of gas lately because I have not been eating because I'm so stressed about being pregnant. Anyway, I did the worst thing I could do and looked for "groin pain pregnancy." It seems that it is common in late pregnancy because of ligament strechting, but I was reading women on a forum and they said they were having it the day they got a positive test! This started around the time of implantation (if pregnant) and has not gone away. I can feel it a little in my back and butt too, along with my leg. I don't know if it's just a strained muscle or what. And one women said it hurts worse to push on it and mine does! I'm really starting to freak now. I have no idea why it hurts to push on it and all the time now. Could it just be a trapped gas pocket from not eating? It doesn't hurt as badly to push on it now because I stopped for a day, but it still does. It's so easy for me to tell other people to not worry because I believe it for them, but I always think I am one of those rare cases. If I wasn't having these pains I would feel better! What do you guys think? Just a muscle, in my head because I am stressed and worried, or pregnancy? I don't have any other symptoms and am still taking my pills...I run out for the month next Wednesday. If I am pregnant from not even having sex i am going to freak out! Why am i feeling these pains???

Thanks. It is not from October at all, i would know that. Plus being pregnant from that would be impossible anyway. I read that if it is ligament stretching it would be sharp pains, not all the time. My leg hurts, mostly in my ankle, like I possible twisted it or something. I don't have blood circulation problems either because i had my circulation checked 2 years ago due to carpal tunnel. People do get pregnant on the pill, but from possibly him touching the outside of my vaginal lips while I was standing in the shower with my legs closed? I don't know. Still scary though. And this pain isn't help! I wouldn't even really call it pain. It hurts worse to sit and pretty much goes away after standing. It also goes away after rubbing my shin and ankle. The only symptom is really the ache...so that explains a blood clot? Plus, I heard you're at risk for blood clots if you are over 35 and smoke. I'm 19, do not smoke. Plus, I have only been on the pill for 4 months, they're talking years on the pill to form a blood clot. But thank you. I think most of it is nerves about being pregnant and it might even just go away after my withdrawal bleed because my stress will go down. I don't want to call the doctor because 1. I hate my doctor, 2. I don't have time and 3. I'm only 19, in good health, and was just there yesterday for a new prescription for pills and figured it wasn't worth mentioning since it just feels like i pulled something. Thanks though....as long as it's not pregnancy related, I really don't care that much because it's such minimal discomfort and doesn't even keep me from sleeping...

there is a nerve that runs along there that can cause pain.  I had a back injury and suffered from sciatica (the butt cheek nerve) and this other nerve pain in the front...I think the name starts with an I...just cant remember right now.  Plus if you are on the pill you are at higher risk for a blood clot and that could explain most of the symptoms.  Id call doc right away to get checked for the blood clot then if it is nerve related.  Hope everything turns out ok....Good Luck!

no i didnt think it was a possible pregnancy from the bump, i thought from oct. ive never heard of getting pregnant from a bump. yes most times mine was just one side. and it was every day. i dont think your whole leg would hurt unless you had blood circulation problems which i did toward the end. ive heard of ppl pregnant on the pill although i have no experience with it.

Also, was it just on one side? Because my other side its fine. It's just the left. And my shin and ankle are really hurting too. And my leg actually did just crack and felt a little better at first. Would my whole leg be hurting as well or does that seems more like I just pulled a muscle?

No, I did not conceive then. I have taken a test. Plus, any bleeding on the pill is a withdrawal. You do not bleed on the pill if you are pregnant. The progesterone in pregnancy cancels out the progesterone in the pill. I know that for a fact. I also heard that if it is the first one, it is only at the end. It does feel like my hip needs to pop. Mine is in the front of my body, above my vagina, to the left. It started about 6 days after the shower thing though. I don't think if it is ligament stretching it should start that soon. I think it is a strained muscle. And conceiving on the 26th would be amazing too because we used condoms, pull-out, and the pill. I only weigh 100 pounds and am 5'6, so I am pretty sure I would know if I was 2 months pregnant. You are really the only person who said I could be pregnant from getting "bumped in the shower." Everyone else tells me I'm crazy and needs to stop. It's not very reassuring that you actually think it's possible. :( I am not pregnant from October and yes, people get pregnant on the pill, but from being bumped with a penis in the shower? Maybe an ejaculation on the vagina...but that? I'm not even late yet, so I can't test. I still have a week before my withdrawal. It has only been 8 days since that incident. I probably wouldn't even have symptoms yet, right? I think maybe my hip does just need to pop? Maybe I just hurt the muscle? And I read that it doesn't happen all the time...just short spurts. This is an all the time for 3 days thing. I know I have gas, as I am burping and can feel it in my stomach. I am not eating because I'm so stressed, which is causing gas. Thanks for your help, but I'm even more worried now. Will someone else please tell me my chances of even being pregnant in the first place??? Plus having those feelings where my leg and crotch meet 8 days after any risk of pregnancy? Please help!

hi! i just wanted to say i had those too with my 2nd pregnancy all throughout, but with the first only toward the end. i want to say it kinda feels like your hip needing to pop or something, but it effects all the nerves around it. its a very hard thing to actually put your finger on, but mine was mostly in the back. i cant think of much else it could be, ive never had gas that long, and only felt what you are feeling with my pregnancies. it could be that you concieved oct 26 and had that one period. ive heard women say that they had just one more...and ive heard that women on the pill sometimes get pregnant too. just test and let us know!
