writes:Hi everyone, Ok here goes; recently I have been feeling a little strange. For starters I cannot stop eating! I am always hungry. I had no idea why, i'm quite a small girl and I dont usually eat a lot, but right now I literally cannot seem to fill myself up. It wasn't untill my Mum joked about pregnancy that the thought hit me. You see, I can't take a test yet because the last time I had sex was literally the day after my last period ended, so i'm due in two days. I'm very regular and I can always tell a week before I come on because my breasts get really tender and I start getting cramps. But i've got none of that.So I decided to do a little research into early pregnancy symptoms for the first few weeks and I have about 8 of them... to name a few; lower back ache, frequent urination, I feel exhausted but am finding it hard to sleep, i've had dizzy spells, nausea (but only a little bit, but for no apparent reason), I feel bloated and for some reason I can no longer eat bread. And a few more which I wont bore you with, they're a bit gross.I'm trying to stay calm but it seems a bit crazy that i've never had any of that before but suddenly i'm experiencing all these different things. I've told myself that they all could be for other reasons, it just seems strange them all happening at once.I know none of you can tell if i'm pregnant via your computers, and i'm going to get a test as soon as im late, I just wondered what your thoughts on this were?Thanks

 If you think you are, take a test. If you are positive, see a doctor.
It is also VERY normal for people to consume more once the Fall season kicks in.

 The worst thing anybody can do is try to self diagnose yourself. Let me ask you this: Are you online looking for reasons you may be eating more, or are you online looking for reasons you might be pregnant? If you are just looking for reasons you might be pregnant, then you will find them. You're scared, so you are going to focus on that. If for some reason you thought you had cancer, you'd be looking up reasons for cancer and convincing yourself you have that.
Are you having unprotected sex? Is there any OTHER possible reason you may be eating more other than pregnancy? (Don't say no because we all know that's not true). Your brain is more powerful than you think, if you are scared you are pregnant then your body will react accordingly and you will convince yourself you are pregnant. Just try to relax, and wait. The best way to know is getting tested. Until then there is absolutely no way you can know for sure so try to stop worrying. In addition to being pregnant, there are many other possible explanations as to why you are eating more. As far as the other symptoms? Those could easily be brought out by your fear.

You could be. Of course, you're still quite young, so it might be a growth spurt you're going through, or an illness. I would STRONGLY suggest you go to a doctor and get checked. You live in the UK, so you can visit the doctor for free and it's confidential. Get checked.
