QuestionQUESTION: I am stressed about trying to find out if i am pregnant or not my bf and i have been using the withdrawal method and we had sex almost everyday ( even during ovulation) right now i am 6dpo and i have been experiencing swollen tender boobs, extremely tired, sick feeling if i do not eat, and today i have been having globs off and on of clear cm its stretchy but not like during ovulation. Is it possible that i may be pregnant it is important that i find out asap as i do have an eating disorder ( anorexia and bulimia) and i need to get help asap if this is the case i am very scared that i could harm my baby if i am in deed pregnant.
Thanks for your help.
ANSWER: If "6dpo" means that you are only 6 days since you assume you ovulated, then there really isn't any way to know for sure if you are pregnant for a few more days. If it means something else, you will have to explain it to me.
My recommendation would be to consider that you may have a new life inside you to take care of and do the best you can for both of you. The baby will not be harmed at this early stage of pregnancy. Right now he/she is too tiny to have much impact on you nor for your health and issues to have much impact on him/her.
That's about all I can tell you without knowing more about your situation. Time will tell but you don't need to worry about the baby just yet, but take good care of yourself anyway and it will work out for all of you.
I hope this helps. You can get an accurate pregnancy test reading around the when you would ordinarily get your period.

QUESTION: 6 days past ovulation. I should have ovulated the 27th on the 26th i felt cramping on my left side i am guessing that would be the egg i usually always feel that around the sametime every month. I have just been feeling really off lots of weird and unusual cravings eg: i hate milk always have and now i drink 4 glasses a day and seeing as i have an eating disorder im actually wanting to eat if i dont i feel really sick yesterday in the afternoon i could hardly keep my eyes open and around 10am today i hit the bed again and almost passed out but lucky my phone rang and got me up. My mood and irritability is through the roof it just bugs me that its so early to tell but maybe cause my body is not as healthy as a normal woman im feeling the effects more. Anyway sorry to bug you again its just really worrying me as i would be the most happiest person on the planet if i am pregnant =)
AnswerSo maybe this baby will help you stabilize and get healthy. Already, you are eating more/better! I hope everything continues to go well. Think more positive thoughts about what a wonderful experience you are going to have with pregnancy and a new baby someday. If not this time, another time. In about a week, you should be able to take a pregnancy test. Unless you are charting and recording your temperatures. If you are, then the temperatures will not go down but will stay elevated past when your period would ordinarily start. That's a clear sign of pregnancy. You won't have to waste money on the pregnancy test, if you have the elevated temperatures to see that you are pregnant.
