My girlfriend and I had a condom break a couple weeks ago. She was supposed to start her period between the 1st and 3rd of august. Around the 28th of July she experienced slight spotting and again on the 30th. She was also experiencing cramping around the 27th-30th. Yesterday she woke up thinking her period had started with a much heavier flow than normal. this lasted until about 5 that evening when she stopped bleeding and started experiencing sharp very painful abdominal pain which she said were not cramps. The pains have since lessened in severity and frequency. This sounds like it may be implantation bleeding to me. Over the last week or so she has taken 3 pregnancy tests, the most recent one being this morning. They have all come up negative. She has been under an immense amount of stress which we think could be the cause of a late period but we dont know about the period starting heavily and then stopping the same day or the sharp pains. I'm worried she may be pregnant or have some other problem. She refuses to see a doctor because she is afraid her parents will be informed despite mine and others assurances that the doctor cannot tell them by law. Any Ideas?
Get her to a doctor. If the symptoms persist, tell her parents so they can drag her to a doctor. She isn't pregnent (that's what the tests say) and I doubt her parents are going to punish her for having a painful, irregular period (if thats what it is). If its something else, she needs a doc.
The problem with the parents is the step-father is abusive and the mother is so hung up on him she'll lie for him. We're afraid of what he will do to her if he even gets a hint of this. He doesn't even know about us. He is also very careful not to leave evidence (pulls hair and such as not to leave marks) and we have both personally seen how CYF does nothing even when there is obvious injury. I'm trying so hard to convince her to see a doctor but she just refuses and gets extremely upset when I press her to do so. I'm just stuck between a rock and a hard place. I don't know what the hell to do . . .
you don't have to go through her parents at all. i didn't, for that very reason. take her to a clinic.
Go to a walk in? A walk in clinic wouldn't be your normal doctor, just give your address and use her cell number when they ask for information.
I finally got her to agree to go to a clinic but she wont be able to go until friday. So the general consensus is that she is not in fact pregnant right?
