Hello, I'm confused...do I have the flu or pregnancy? headache, cramps, little period,bigger stomach,heartburn
I have had a headache off and on for a week. I'm very irritable and depressed. My stomach is very very bloated. Diarrhea, constipation. My doctor said it's the flu. Negative pregnancy tests, but it's been only 3-4 weeks of feeling this way. VERY light period. cramps even though I'm not around my period now. Craved ice cream...is it I'm depressed??? Neg preg test though
Fatigue. I haven't eaten very much and I feel like I'm a size larger in pants size. My doctor thinks it's the flu, but I've only taken urine tests. All negative. First time feeling this way....I don't eat ice cream.

1. If the test in negative then it's probably not pregnancy,it's probably really bad flu. Flu messes w/ your whole system.2. Cravings are just a normal part of being human. If you really think that you might be pregnant, you need to vist your doctor again for another test.
3. Sounds like the flu and being really, really scared of a pregnancy to me. Who did the pregnancy test? Off the pharmacy shelf or in the Doctor's office ? You sound too young to be suffering from Irritable Bowl Syndrome...but that IS a possibility. For now, stop eating salt and eat as many fresh vegatables and fruits as you can. Drink more water than you think you possibly can! Do NOT use salted broth; only unsalted. This should clear your bowl and bladder; should take five to six days.Then get another pregnancy test in your Doc's office... and ask about IBS. If you think you're pregnant and you don't want to be; that could very easily make you very depressed. Be sure. If you are...call planned parenthood for help if you are unwilling to talk with your parents; they WILL help you do that. Good luck, Sweetie! Hugs, Gina C.
