need advice
hey people,
im writing here on behalf of my girlfriend
we are both 22 and have been together for a while. we argue alot for a new couple and for a while it has been discussed that she may have bi-polar or some stress enduced problems as she is very stress with work and finances.
we argued tonight and she told me that when she last spent a few days at mine she accidentally missed her pill for 4 days. obviously during that time we'd had sex and since she's had pains in her lower abdomen. she's doing a pregnancy test in the morning but she searched online and found that all her current symptoms could be other things such as cervical cancer (cancer runs in the family) and a few other illnesses. obviously if she is pregnant that going to cause its own problems as neither of us are really ready finacially or otherwise for it but i'm more worried if it is something else...being 22 she cant get a smear test in the UK and i'm wondering what our options are and if there are other things we can do to rule out cancer. she's been having dull pains in the very bottom of her stomach down to her genitals but no itching or rashes, back pains for a while and headaches...she does suffer from nausea first thing in the morning but she's suffered with that for a while now...its something to do with her gag reflex. she also suffers with what i think are mood swings...it may be that i'm just pissing her off but she goes from great highs to real bad lows over a period of time but it also happens on a much smaller and shorter basis. i'm really getting worried cause i've fallen head over heels for this girls... i can see my self having kids with her but not yet. and i think she feels the same...is there any one that can advise me on how to go about this...she doing a pregnancy test and going to the doctors but she doesn't trust them.
please help

She needs to be evaluated and tested to find out if she is bipolar. Be very supportive. If she feels she is not being supported, she may not get checked out.
of course she can have a smear test.
you just need to demand it.
if cancer runs in her family she has every right to have one, i know sometimes doctors are a bit iffy about giving them to people under twenty five but if that doctor wont then she can ask to see a different one who will.
you can also get them done at STI clinics.
i have bipolar disorder.
what kind of highs and lows does she have?
its possible she's cyclothymic
which is like a milder form.
if you have any questions about it i can help!
she needs to speak to a doctor about it as soon as possible
i left it untreated for YEARS
and it almost destroyed my life
luckily i was forced to get help after an episode at university
where i thought i had nothing inside me apart from insects and i was all ready to cut myself open to prove it whereupon they carted me off to the crisis people.
DO NOT LET IT GET TO THAT STAGE.
do a couple of pregnancy tests
and definitely get a doctor to confirm it.
another thing i would mention is that it might not be a bad idea to check out non hormonal birth control because hormones are notorious for causing moodswings anyway.
case in point where i got the mirena coil fitted and then a month later went completely manic and ended up in hospital.
good luck x
'so why care for these petty obsessions? your designer heart still beats with common blood. and what if you could have genetic perfection? would you change who you are if you could?'
If she is on birth control that could explain the mood swings\deppresion. It can cause that. As for the pains I have them sometimes to and I am perfectly healthy. But a doc is always a good idea when unsure, And if she is pregnant than that's a whole nother issue(sorry im southern). But good luck in any case.
