Mind you, I've actually never had sex. I do not want to get really graphic here, but my boyfriend and I only did two or three times what people on the internet seem to call "dryhumping." However, it wasn't entirely "dry" (and I really apologise if it's inappropriate to share this on these forums), therefore I started to think maybe things had passed through the fabric of our underwear...
I began to get freaked out when I noticed my breasts were slightly larger and sore. My period came, but I still didn't feel better about it, so we did two pregnancy tests. I believe I did them properly and both were negative. Then I had another period.
Since then I've realised I have every reason to stop freaking out. I even admit I've had hypochondriac tendencies before, so this wouldn't be too unusual to me. However, I simply can't stop freaking out, especially when I read things about pregnant women who have regular bleeding just like a period or repeated false negatives.
It doesn't help when I have "new" symptoms that are also related to pregnancy. I've had a sore back from time to time during these past few months. I also have had some yellowish vaginal discharge in the past few days. Two weeks ago I had a small amount of blood in my discharge (which apparently can be attributed to ovulation, but I am not convinced as I have never seen this before). My veins seem more noticable, but maybe I am wrong - I don't know. I am wondering if I can even trust my own opinions on what has changed or not with my body. Thankfully my breasts haven't seemed to have gotten larger since the first time I noticed.
I honestly don't know what to do. I would go to a doctor to have them confirm the negative result from the urine test, but I am studying abroad so I don't have a doctor nor the means to cover the expenses of one. I'll be home in three weeks, but that seems like such a long time to do nothing. Please someone give me some advise or help me realise how irrational I am being.
