thank you for your response jodi.. it was kinda funny how u
misunderstood me.. but im glad u understood me the second time..
well, see, ever since i lost my virginity, my body has been acting
weirdly these past 5 months.. but i haven't missed my period once. i
get very gassy and crampy, i feel nauseous at times, not often... and
other than that, that's about it.. i just dont understand why i feel so
uncomfortable these past 5 months.. maybe its just hormones.. or maybe
not..
the only reason im worried is because i saw this message a lady wrote
saying that she couldn't detect her pregnancy until 4 months later..and
during this time, she had her period every single month..:| that is why
im worried..
any thoughts for me ?
i am 20 and i know this sounds pathetic, and i have thought about this
before.. but... i made a mistake i guess.. i am worried because i
just can't have a kid now..
thanks for ur responses.
