i've honestly given up so this is my last resort. i'm sixteen, and i had sex with my boyfriend once on may 16th. i don't get my period, at least i haven't since november 2019 due to anorexia/over exercising. after we had sex i felt super off. we did use a condom and didn't notice it break. however when i went to go clean up in the bathroom i noticed fluid leaking out of my vagina, but since we didn't notice a break i assumed it was my own fluids and just went on with my life. about a week later i started to lose my appetite and just get this weird feeling in my stomach. i used to have no discharge at all and now i have tons of it. i'm extremely fatigued, increase in heart rate, and now i'm even breaking out.

i've taken so many pregnancy tests and they've all been negative. i dont know what to do. i have an appointment at planned parenthood wednesday and i hope they can help. im so scared i dont know whats wrong with me.

If there negative then you aren’t pregnant.

If your anorexic you won’t feel well though, there’s only so much your body can take and no period is a clear sign your body is suffering badly.

If you've taken lots of tests and they're negative then it's unlikely but best to get checked to make sure. Are you in the US, as you mention planned parenthood?

Have you been checked out for STDs and is your anorexia currently under control?

emitch1123 · 21/06/2021 21:10

yes im in the US, i didn;t even realize this was UK based until just now (my bad)

i've been in recovery from my ed for a while now (eating lots + better relationship with food), but my period just never returned. i highly doubt its an std bc my boyfriend and i were both virgins... i just am super confused because these symptoms just started coming on gradually after we had sex. i've just read a lot online ab girls saying they had negative urine tests and only found out they were pregnant months later and its kind of freaking me out

i've had my anorexia under control for a while now my period just never returned... i have always felt fine + had a large appetite and ever since we had sex all of my symptoms came on and my appetite diminished. i've just read a lot of posts on how these women had neg urine tests and ended up being pregnant months later. i'm just really scared and confused

Home tests are very reliable these days. You’ll always get scare stories though. I’d find it hard to believe US pregnancy tests are less sensitive than UK ones.

Hopefully your period will return in time.

thank you, i'm just super confused with all of these symptoms that wont go away. i'm not sure why else id have all of this egg white discharge if ive never had it before + fatigue and loss of appetite and the breakouts... am i losing my mind?

You get more discharge when you have a cycle. It changes pretty noticeably.

You get more at puberty & then it settles, then menopause hits and it’s like being a teenager again.

A lot of women look like they’ve been hit by a bus in early pregnancy. There not just fatigued they look really ill.

emitch1123 · 21/06/2021 22:00

true, i've just heard so many like stories of all these women never getting a positive urine test but i dont think there's even anywhere for me to get a blood test? im sorry im def being annoying i just dont know what else to do im so confused

I think when you see your planned parenthood nurse she won’t even be worried your pg if the home tests are negative.

You used a condom, it didn’t break & the tests are negative.

Your not used to having sex & not getting pregnant, education systems do preach sex=pregnancy but in reality it doesn’t because of birth control.

FierceBarrie · 21/06/2021 22:17

Sorry you’re in this situation - I think many of us have been there. No sign of a period, and very much but wanting to be pregnant. Combine that with a load of ‘symptoms’, and it’s a frightening time.

I would really suggest you speak with your GP - or is it a PCP in the US?

Even if you’re not pregnant, you’re obviously not feeling yourself, so it sounds like you could do with some professional advice.

Hope it’s all nothing. Flowers

have all of this egg white discharge

Your discharge is usually like egg whites when you’re fertile and ovulating (releasing an egg). So all of this may be a sign that your cycles are returning, breakouts and appetite changes could also be explained that way. By all means see planned parenthood but if your anorexia is now under control your body may be returning to normal.

If you’ve had several negative tests and last had sex just over a month ago and have had a negative test in the last few days then I’d think there’s a very small chance you could be pregnant.

BritInAus · 22/06/2021 00:52

I think it's highly unlikely if lots of tests say negative. If you want to be 100%, then ask your GP for a blood test to confirm.

emitch1123 · 22/06/2021 00:58

thank you, i really do not want to be pregnant at all so im assuming it cant be phantom pregnancy or whatever that's called... im just super confused. i know negative tests + protection = im probably not pregnant but something just does not add up. im just petrified bc ive seen so many threas on here of girls saying they never got a positive result on their home urine tests and only a blood test confirmed it.. i just dont know if the planned parenthood here in the US will give me one since im 16

emitch1123 · 22/06/2021 00:59

that's what i thought as well but the timing just freaks me out... the discharge has been here for a while now and i did take a test this AM that was neg also. just really confused and scared tbh i dont know what to do
