    Lost: Sex drive, Found: Boobs?

    so i'm not sure if this is even the right spot for this thread but i'm guessing it is the closest i can get. move if u see fit

    so here we go!
    i'm very confused at this point in life. it has been a very long past 4 or so weeks.
    lets start from the beginning as there r a few issues & questions i have. so on the 1st - the 5th of dec, i had my period, i stopped for a few hours then spotted all the way from the 6th - 12th. well some where around the 10th or so, i notice my bra was starting to hurt me & i was having to unhook my bra in bed to sleep (my FIL was in town, so me & my husband slept on the sofa bed so my FIL could sleep in our room, so naturally i wasn't comfy sleeping bra-less). as well as my breast were sore. i began to cramp (like menstrual cramps) on the 11th or so, sometimes the cramps were so bad they would wake me up & i would b doubled over. one the 12th wen i stopped spotting, i began to have a discharge. the discharge & cramps continue to this day. as time continued, i was getting nauseated alot as well as heartburn became more of an issue than normal. i have been extremely cranky & moody. on the 16th, i had to buy a new bra, i went from a 36B to a 36C. i have taken 3 at home pregnancy test (last one on christmas) & then on the 26th i had to got to urgent care as i had a upper respiratory infection had been trying to fight since the 14th. i saw my doc on the 22nd to try to take care of it but they wouldn't give me meds cause she had concerns i was pregnant too. so when i went in to urgent care, i had them do blood work to make sure i wasn't pregnant b4 i took meds. the blood work came back negative. so from my understanding blood work is pretty much spot on. so while i was waiting for my meds at the store, i had to go look at a bigger size bra as my breast had gone up another cup size again! now i'm up to a 36D, in only 3 or so weeks i have gone up 2 cup sizes. my breast & nipples r still extremely sore & my nipples r darker.
    so now that the month has been explained......now on to the sex drive.
    so i haven't exactly been in the mood to do anything sexual. me & my husband had sex on the 6th & the 17th & we only had sex on the 17th cause i had had a few shots of southern comfort (it slipped my mind that i shouldn't have drank) & i was feeling frisky. but for the most part since i had started showing symptoms of possibly being pregnant, i was trying to hold off till i knew if i was or wasn't. as time went on i became less & less willing or even wanting to have sex with every pregnancy test i took that came back negative. i began to feel like something was wrong with me. my emotions were & still r all over the map. i would b fine one moment, crying the next. or just cranky. even my husband running his hands down my body just annoys me. & every time we go to bed at night he has been trying to dry hump me, which i have been finding very unpleasant. i couldn't even lay down in bed to relax without him telling me he was horny & him rubbing my body with his hands & poking at me. i just want to b left alone, which upsets me cause i know this is not the normal me & he is just trying his heart out to get me in the mood. normally i'm the one begging for sex & he is just trying to sleep. it upsets me to because, i have been telling him that i didn't want to do it but everytime i turned around he was poking at me! which made me annoyed/feel bad. not to mention the fact that i have been sick back to back to back. i had a stomach virus the beginning of Nov, then pneumonia the end of Nov to the beginning of Dec, the finally the upper respiratory infection i have had since the 14th or so till the present moment. now today i had to deal with some depression, i have no idea y i was depressed. as well as i feel like i'm sleeping my life away, as the infection makes me tired & the meds they gave me have codeine in it so it makes me even more tired & feel very confused & lost. as well as i feel a bit down that i am not pregnant cause i kinda got my hopes up a little.
    we tried to have sex tonight (with protection), & even though i really tried for my husband's sake....i just could find myself truly desiring to have sex. he fingered me for a little bit but it started to hurt after 3 minutes or so, he wanted to try sex & i let him but it hurt. we finally just decided it was best that he just beat off on my breast. i don't feel, in the slightest way, sexual. i just can't seem to find it. i feel so lost right now with my own body & what is going on with me. i feel bad for my husband because he has done nothing but be strong & comfort me & i can't even find the slightest bit of sexuality to try & have sex with him. & he has been so understanding. i feel like something is wrong hormonally, emotionally, & just with me in all. my sex drive is gone & i'm not sure what is even going on. i feel like crying right now.
    should i feel bad about not putting out?
    given the events of this month, is it wrong of me to not b in the mood?
    what the sam hill is going on with my body & hormones if the blood work says i'm not pregnant?

    also i forgot to mention that in November, our house mate tried to help fix some of the thing healthwise i had going, he think that i have low blood sugar. which all the vitamins he put me on helped very much but it's alot. i'm on vitamins: A, E, C, Cinnamon, Golden Seal Echinacea, Chromium Picolinate, & Zinc. the ones that i have taken since march of this year are: Fish oil & B100. well i took all of the vitamins list everyday in november, but currently (as of the beginning of Dec) i am only taking the fish oil, b100, chromium, cinnamon, & echinacea. as i am sick of taking the other vitamins & i know i can maintain the basics of what i need only taking those few. our house mate seems to think that my new found breast r due to me getting all the vitamins i was getting b4, i find that hard to believe. i seriously doubt that my sudden blooming or hormonal issues r caused by vitamins!

      Cut out ALL those vitamins and supplements; it sounds like you're getting too much of something! B-vitamins especially can build up in your system.
      Try just eating a normal healthy diet, with no additives unless a doctor prescribes it.
      And if this doesn't cure itself very soon, go see a regular doctor, not one of those emergency care quacks.

        Oddly enough, you can overdose on vitamins. Did you tell the doctor you've been taking all those?

          the b-100 & fish oil r doctor prescribe for my depression, so i have to continue those or unless i sink into a really low depression
          the cinnamon helps with my energy level. the b-100 & fish oil i have been taking since march so i highly doubt it would have this sudden effect on me, & i'm only taking one of each a day

            IF you had a deficiency that is being corrected it could have spurred some change. You are a young woman and it could be possible.

              but to such a level that i am experiencing all the other stuff to? that's where i doubt it.
              i just talked to my hubby who has a friend who's wife had her bloodwork come back negative as well & she IS 100% pregnant

                Well something sure isn't right! How about the echinacea? If any doctor "prescribed" that, steer clear of him - there are no studies showing that does anything good for anyone. Reading up on the side effects of that herb, it says it should not be taken for long periods of time.
                There can be interactions between it and other drugs or herbal remedies. AND it says you should not take it if you're pregnant.
                You really should see a doctor, especially if you're still concerned about the possibility of being pregnant.

                  ok i will stop taking that one for sure.
                  so aaron just got home & i talked to him about what he learned today & what i learned today.
                  he said that his coworkers wife didn't get a positive reading on any type of pregnancy test until she missed her period. i also am not going to continue taking the meds for my upper respiratory infection, as they have effects if u r pregnant. i am suppose to start on the 31st or so. so depending on what happens i will go from there.
                  i'm very very annoyed today & feel like biting our housemates head off, all cause he is leaving his stuff laying about & leaving coffee stains on the counters. his voices annoys me at the current moment as well as any of his every thought that he mutters....ugh yes i know cranky
                  well another question being is it understandable for me to not want to have sex under the current events, it's like it just disappeared, & packed it's bags to never return

                    Why not start taking a pre natal vitamin?
