Pregnant or stress?

[KittyKat1243]

Hi I'm 16yrs old and lately I've been nauseas, a bit gassy mainly in the mornings 8am-11am or evenings around 6pm-9pm, what seems like hot flashes, dierrhea, and problems eating. I'm afraid I might be pregnant but at the sametime I couldn't be because I have been having my period and normally you don't have dierrhea if pregnant. but also everytime I have my period it normally only last 3-4days. I've also been under TONS of stress. So maybe these are just simply signs of that? If so what am I to do?

it hasnt even been a week since u had unprotected sex. I test would not show up yet. u more then likely would to have sypthoms yet either. u dont get thos until after implation andi takes on average 6-12 days for that.  give it two full weeks and then test. the $1ones work just fine.  Good luck and if u are going to have sex get on BC and us protection. U dont want to have to give up your dreams to raise a child.  If u r pregnant then this is a great place for support.

No I'm not trying to have a baby. Like I said my sister is expecting soon and this will me my first niece/nephew so I'm not ready to have one of my own for about 20 some more yrs. We do normally use condoms if we have sex. I'm still working on getting Birth Control. Only thing about being on it is that my sister is allergic to some birth controls so I have to watch out for that. I am still in school I graduate in just a yr. I am homeschooled. And I most defiantly agree that I DON'T need a child right now. Thank you so much again for this info.
And also should I take two tests just to make sure?

Well try not to worry about the premature labour. In all honesty if baby comes, baby will come regardless of how worried anyone is. Labour can take weeks so she could last longer. There's no real sense in worrying about things you can't control.

As for sex, are you trying to get pregnant? If not, you should be using condoms and birth control at all times. You claimed you had just recently started working, and I'd imagine you're still in school. You're also young. A child is one thing you don't need right now. Wait two weeks since you last had sex and test with first morning urine.

Thank you for the info.
The stress I'm having is mainly caused by my family issues (death and heartattacks/strokes).
Also I just started this job 4 weeks ago. Plus my sister is pregnant and her due date is 4.20.11 but doc said that she has signs of early labor so I'm afraid she might have the baby within these two weeks!

Oh also I am sexually active. Last time I had unprotected sex was Saturday 3.26.11. My last period was at the begging of March I believe it started on the 3rd and ended the MORNING of march 7th.

Actually it is common to get diarrhea while pregnant. Most women get consipated, but others don't. The only thing you don't have is a period. The problems you described could be anything. Stress can definitely cause quite a few of them. You need to figure out what's causing it, and either cut it out of your life or simplify it. At 16 you shouldn't be having a ton of stress issues or many problems with that. Take a pregnancy test to confirm or rule out pregnancy and then go from there.
