    Those things aren't disturbing at all. No, not at all.

      Why the heck are the Olympic mascots always so creepy? Is it so hard to draw a cute creature?

    Is this a free thread? Created a burner account to comment.

    I'm in a bit of a dilemma. I've broken up with my ex and I seem to be pregnant. I say seem to because there's something going on down there. I've taken pee tests, negative. I have had periods but much weaker than they often are. I've quite a few fibroids so my periods are normally heavy. I have no reason why my heavy ass periods would suddenly be lighter.

    You could say stress but my period has never cared about my stress even when I've been suicidal so coupled with all the odd goings on, I find it odd that it's taken this opportunity to be affected by stress.

    So I keep having cramps in my lower belly, these are the sort of cramps that come before my period that remind me oh yea, best stock up and they last for a few seconds just a reminder, heya you are going to be bleeding soon, heads up. These cramps have been going on for almost two months. I'm having headaches all the time. I don't tend to suffer from PMS.

    I feel sick but not terrible. I can't eat certain things I used to happily eat and I'm eating things I couldn't stand before and most of all meat and more meat. I eat little meat so when I devour hot dogs, baked chicken and steak in one night, I have to give my body the side eye.

    I feel sick when I eat food

    A few weeks after the conception incident, I almost passed out at work. I don't pass out. I'm tired but I generally have some sort of chronic fatigue anyway so don't know.

    My boobs are bigger, my stomach has thickened, I've lost my weight. I'm bloated. I could pass off every other symptom but not the constant lower belly cramping. That is concerning me.

    Also I've massively gone off alcohol. I thought initially it was because of the breakup with my ex. But nah, my body doesn't want it which is also odd as I often use it as a social crutch. I don't generally eat too much junk so I think my body tells me what I need normally.

    I've been to the doctor but he was massively dismissive.

    So don't know what to do, and don't know whether to mention it to the guy or not as I have no definitive proof.

    I decided to go to a gynaecologist but they won't see me without a referral from my GP. (I'm not in the US by the way, I'm in Europe).

    I'm in my mid 30s so the other thing I was freaking out about was that it was the CHANGE!

    Something is up, I live in this body and it's not behaving as usual.

      It's not an open thread, actually. I can see why you think it's an open thread. You can post this on Open Thread later.

      Could you see a different GP? One who might be more willing to give you a referral to a gyno or for an ultrasound?

    Do the male Jezebel writers just go on the other Gawker Media sites to get all their stories or just overhear them in an office or how does it work?

      The world may never know!

      Just kidding. Why do you ask? I've always wondered if the writers are told what to write or if they're told to find trending stories.

    I gotta say, the giant bear blowing out the Olympic flame, and then shedding a tear was extremely over the top.

      It so was, but I'm really hormonal right now, so it made me cry. I was humiliated. I hate that damn bear! Really!
