I have been suffering from constipation (sorry for the detail) on two seperate occasions within the past month. My stomach is constantly feeling and looking bloated which could be from this, but I have also read that constipation can be an early effect of pregnancy, with bloating also being an effect of pregnancy. Recently I changed my diet and was eating hardly any fiber, but I changed that and now eat enough although I am suffering from it again. I have also recently come off the pill after using it for only 2 weeks. My question is, is it possible that the bloating and constipation are a result of pregnancy, or are they simply just what they are? I haven't missed a period at all. A doctor examined my stomach (pushing down on it) to check for bloating, but I did not mention any worries of pregnancy. Any help would be appreciated to stop me from worrying.

Take a pregnancy test and find out.
It may not be pregnancy at all.

As Tayune said, it may not be pregnancy and take a test.

Do you notice any other signs of pregnancy? Such as: Dizziness often, loss of appetite?

[roses123]

Nope I haven't had any other signs such as dizzyness or nausea or loss of appetite or anything. All i have had is the feeling of gas bubbles in my stomach and some slight cramping, but I've heard that can be cause by constipation as well. If it was pregnancy I would be about 12 weeks along, so I was wondering if since my doctor has pressed down and felt my stomach on two seperate occasions she would have realised if it was pregnancy. Im too scared to take a test haha pathetic I know but I just feel that way.

Why not take it. Talk to your parents.

Did you have sex recently? Was it protected?

You said you haven't missed a period, unless I read wrong then my apologies, but if that is the case you probably aren't pregnant.

Its not necessarily periods ^
a lot of pregnant women have some bleeding in early pregnancy which can seem like periods.
I know your too scared to take the test, but your going to have too sooner or later. The earlier you do the better, cause it will stop you from worrying or at least prepare you.
Thats the only way you can be sure...

How long since the sex? and also, Take a test, that will tell you.

It you stopped taking the pill without ending the packet that is probably why - you're never supposed to do that. You're supposed to finish the packet of pills that you're on.

But if you had sex, you COULD be pregnant. Take a test
