Suggest Treatment For Nausea And Abdominal Bloating

Hi, my boyfriend & I had sexual intercourse July 3rd & July 10th (not the first time).. I use this app called flo to help keep up with my menstrual cycle & ovulation period. On the app it said that I ovulated on July 10th.. I did not realize that until after we had sexual intercourse that day. July 10th we had protected & unprotected sex.. when we used a condom.. it broke but he had not ejaculated yet, he said when he took it off it was dripping precum. So I prayed & waited until the day I would start my menstrual cycle.. from the app it said I should start July 25th.. come to the day.. I was expecting to start but I did not.. I had been feeling light cramps, nausea (p.s I haven t thrown up), bloating & a slightly big appetite but was not really wanting to eat. Comes the second day, July 26th.. still nothing, it would feel like I started but when I checked it was just discharge, the discharge would be a gooey.. sticky type texture & sometimes creamy.. or no discharge at all. Comes the third day.. still nothing but discharge & the feelings as the day before, I then become slightly worried. This has happened before so I wasn t really panicking but I was slightly worried. I ve had missed a cycle before in the past so I was thinking it could be that but I recently just started having sexual intercourse so being pregnant could be an option & I don t want that, I m only 17 years old. Fast forwarding.. same symptoms & discharge. Today, July 29th still nothing. I m really worried at this point, but I m trying not to worry too much because that can be a delay my cycle more. Two more days until the month is over & I have nothing, from the app it says I m 5 days late. I ve ordered a pregnancy test just in case I miss completely. But I have two days left so i still have a little hope. I ve searched & searched several ways to induce your cycle & etc. I ve been drinking parsley tea, taking iron pills, black cosh pills, & using a warm compact on my abdominal area. Last time I had this situation it was in May, same symptoms but instead my breast were enlarged & really sensitive, i was 2 days late from what the app predicted, i took iron pills & was drinking parsley tea & it seemed to work.. this time, it has not been. I ve been taking one iron pill a day since the day I first missed thinking that it would work again.. & I ve been drinking parsley tea since yesterday July 28th. I forgot to mention I ve also been slightly gassy & having bubbly movements in my abdominal area.. & im not taking any type of birth control.. idk what else to do! I don t want to be pregnant, we are too young. I m trying to keep it together.. none of my family knows that I ve been having sexual interactions.. please help!

Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.
Certain degree of bloating is normal but in case of excessive bloating it may be sign of food allergy, hiatal hernia ,IBS or inflammatory bowel diseases.
So you should do gastroenterologic work up but first try to change your dietary habits, it means: eat smaller meals but more frequently, avoid fried and spicy food, take menta tea, avoid alcohol and coffee, eat probiotics and milk products, boiled food and vegetables.
Also, there are medications such as Flobian,Magnesium oxide or certain Laxatives which may relieve such symptoms of this continue. If there wont be improvement on these measures, you should consider doing diagnostic tests such as colonoscopy, anal sphincter manometry and food allergy testing.
I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
