Question
I have been experiencing symptoms of fatigue, back pain, some abdominal cramping, headaches, tingling breasts, and after intercourse a brown tinted, stringy vaginal discharge. I have also had frequent urination. My last menstrual cycle was 11/12/05. I have had unprotected sex. When should I test for pregnancy? What could be causing these symptoms if I'm not pregnant. I had an elective ab in September 22,2005. Can these symptoms be related to this procedure?
Answer
You need to talk to your doctor about your symptoms. No one can tell you what is up over the Internet. You can do a home pregnancy test on the day your period should start, using the first urine of the day.
