Hi I am a 19 year old female. I live with my fiance and we are sexually active. The sex is unprotected. I recently (about a week ago) had my period and seemed normal, but even before I had my period, I was constipated, and lately i m tired very tired, my lower back is sore, and I am having pains in my stomach, on both right and left sides, and some in the middle, I feel bloated, almost like I am going to start my period again, I do have some headaches but not nothing serious. I have not taken a pregnancy test. So I am just wondering if you think it is worth taking one or not. Thank you! LeAndra
Hello dear, I understand your concern. In my opinion as you got the periods there is no chance of pregnancy. The first sign of pregnancy is missed period. Once you get the periods the pregnancy is ruled out. Usually urine pregnancy test is done a week after missed period for accurate results. So as you got the period the test is not required. Incase if you had unprotected intercourse done after the periods then there is risk of pregnancy. Then you need to wait and check for the next period. In case if it is delayed the urine pregnancy test can be done. The pain abdomen, bloating,low backache might be due to constipation. So take adequate fluids and laxatives to prevent constipation. Nothing to worry. Avoid stress. Hope this helps. Best regards...
