Irregular Periods, Constantly Tired, Constipated, Headaches, Nauseous, Lower Back Hurts. Pregnant ?
I'm a 20 year-old female. I had my last depot shot November 2012. I started getting my periods two months ago and I am suppose to start my period next week. My last period was July 24, 2013. The last few days have been awful. I'm constantly tired, constipated, I have a headaches for most of the day, I've been getting nauseous at night, and my lower back hurts. I thought I was pregnant so I took a test two days ago but it came up negative.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Pregnancy tests check for the HCG hormone. In a pregnant female the levels of this hormone increase as the pregnancy progresses.
It is normally detectable by most home pregnancy tests by day 11 to `14 after conception.
If you would have passed this time period and the test is negative then the result is likely accurate.
It is possible that your symptoms are premenstrual symptoms.
Women can experience physical and emotional changes leading up to the period.
The intensity can vary.In some women the symptoms can be severe.
In severe cases it can be treated by different methods including counselling, dietary changes and medication.
If these symptoms occur before your next period and are intolerable, you may consider visiting your doctor for an assessment.
I hope this helps
