Just need second opinions/reassurance.. 😊
Typically I'm very logical when reasoning however I think I've thoroughly convinced myself for the past two to three months I'm pregnant. It's an off and on thing usually worsened by my anxiety, but as of late I'm having my most recent pregnancy scare.
Thankfully I have an extremely loving fiancé who puts up with me, but I can't tell this time (though he's 99% sure I'm not pregnant and I should believe him). Currently, I am on day 26 of a slightly irregular 26-28 day cycle. I have noticed a few changes since recently becoming sexually active, and I have never had unprotected sex; not to mention, much to the chagrin of my loving fiancé, I always check the condom, etc. I am also not on birth control.
I haven't taken any Plan B, and I have constantly taken pregnancy tests since I first had intercourse back in mid October to November, all of which were negative, though there were reasonable margins of error such as testing too early. My most recent one, a clear blue digital, (taken at 12:00 in the morning today because of my crippling anxiety haha) came back negative.
The reason I'm exceptionally nervous now is because when I had used the bathroom today after having sex this morning, it burned when I urinated but more noticeably there were small pink splotches on my toilet paper after wiping. I checked up on my cervix after and it felt high, maybe medium or closed, and medium or maybe firm. I haven't been actively checking my cervix up until I started having sex so I'm not sure what is supposed to feel like. As far as I am concerned it's business as usual (save for my CM.)
However, I am alarmed because this is supposedly the last day before my period and there is no sign of a period save for light, inconspicuous 'cramping' that's occurred for a couple weeks now.
Some changes I've noticed since I've first started having sex include suffering from gassiness (burping, gas pains) and indigestion every now and then, maybe some irritability, very few occasions of dizziness (maybe two or three times a few weeks ago) and the biggest being odd cramps and cervical mucus quality.
As for CM, it had previously progressed from egg white texture at the start of my cycle to remaining constantly creamy up to and after my period, where now I'm always dry and maybe a little tacky. I have had odd, sometimes sharp pains in my uterine area (being general here, sometimes specifically where I think my ovaries are) and sometimes I'll have sharp vaginal pains (not burning/itchy).
Sorry for typing a novel here but I feel that if I provide more info I could get some really good opinions. If it helps some, my mother and grandmother have had both suffered from uterine fibroids (which is a probably cause of my heavy period). I have not seen a gynecologist ever and in my situation it would be complicated to even arrange a doctors appointment.
On a stray note, maybe im just stressed/anxious about becoming pregnant and its causing me to have symptoms even?
