Ladies, I need some suggestion on this! - 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

This is non-weight related. Lately, I've been really tired. I work nights, but now I'm tired during times I usually am not. I'm tired all the time. Nothing changed in my work schedule except I am working less hours. So why am I so tired? Now I am experiencing light cramps and my lower back hurts on and off. The back aches is probably due to my weight and it's all just ctaching up to me, but I don't know how to explain the cramps. Sometimes my heart hurts, but it goes away. I'm not near my period. I just came off it less than two weeks ago. It was short and lighter than usual probably because of the the plan b pill I took. Is it possible the symptoms from the pill are still present? Only symptoms I had before plan b was light cramps. Now after my early period the pill induced, I have more symptoms. Any ideas???

Oh and one more thing to add to this. I found i have some type of fluid in my breasts. Not that I was leaking or anything. If I squeeze my nipples a little fluid produces.

Pregnancy test? (if it is possible that you are pregnant, if not then maybe it could be a fake pregnancy? some women get the symptoms without actually being pregnant)

I took the plan B once and did not experience this. Did you take it immediately afterward? Also, plan B is not 100% effective. You may need to take a pregnancy test.

I can't be pregnant. I still got my period, but it was shorter and lighter than usual. Probably because of the plan b

You CAN be pregnant and still experience a period (even though it doesn't sound right it is possible), so until you take a pregnancy test you cannot rule it out.

Plan B periods are not short and light. I had to take it once because of a broken prophylactic. The early Plan B period was PAINFUL and looked like a massacre had occurred. How long ago did you take Plan B? I had what I thought was a light period a week after taking it but the early Plan B period showed up 2 weeks after taking it. After reading up on it online, I saw that a bunch of other women experienced the same thing I did.

If it's been over 2 weeks and you've only experienced a light period, I would get a pregnancy test.

Also, what she said is correct. You can have a period while pregnant.

There was a reason for taking Plan B in the first place, so you can be pregnant. It only works for 7 out of 8 women. Did you take it within 72 hours? Also, was there a possibility that you could have been pregnant before this occurred?

The only way to know for sure is to take a pregnancy test. I still took one after all was said and done.

Well, you can be "not pregnant" because you know you haven't had sex in X amount of time too.

There could be a lot of reasons for it, but I would ask your doctor. Liquid from breasts is not normal, so they would probably want to figure out what's going on. Now, I say that and I had that too several years after breastfeeding ended and it was determined everything was fine, but it was enough concern to get an ultrasound of the breast tissue.

It's not likely you are pregnant if you took it as advised. Plan B is a high dose progestrone which will severly deplete calcium in your body and that can lead to cramping. I have been on depo...high long term dose progesterone so I've been doing my homework. Try upping your calcium...it won't hurt anything even if that is not it. Feel better soon.

One of my friends took plan B and ended up getting pregnant anyway. She heard the same stat as someone else posted- that 7 of 8 women who would have gotten pregnant, won't. It's definitely not impossible that that's what's going on. Get yourself a pregnancy test and get yourself a doctor appointment!
