I agree with the anons - there's just no way for us to know! All we can
say is "gee yeah, who knows?" or "prolly not" - but does that help??
Please go see your doctor! If you tell them you think you may be
pregnant I'm sure they would have you come in for a test. With the
other symptoms you are having you should go and see your doctor anyway.
If you don't have insurance, buy a test or go to planned parenthood. And
yes, please do let us know how things work out.
No one wants to chase you away from the board, but we DO want to see you
get some real help and advice from a doctor who can answer your
questions!
