Is it normal to feel dizziness and be tired after a week of getting less sleep and exerting physical energy

[Anonymous]

This past weekend I had a cheer competition that I had to get up early for and was there all day for two days. I had to fill in for this girl on a different team and compete with my own team which I'm not used to. So this past week I've been going to practice everyday and its been very tiring and I've been getting less sleep than I'm used to. Today I slept in and when I came home I took a nap.

however I'm wondering if I may be pregnant. About two weeks ago my boyfriend and I were playing around and he put it in for about 20 secs but he wasn't wet when he went in or came out. That's the only activity we've been involved in. I got car sick in traffic, but I've always gotten car sick easily. The other time I got dizzy I was exhausted and hot and stood up really fast and started chasing my dog. Other than these things nothing has happened and I've experienced all these things many times before. Also I had my period in the beginning of December and in the last week that crossed over into January so I don't know when to expect my next period.

This is VERY normal. You have been depriving yourself of sleep, which lowers your blood sugar and also reduces your cognitive (thinking) ability. Get more sleep, and eat more food!

However, the pregnancy scare is a compltely different issue. Remember, you need to use a condom EVERY SINGLE TIME he puts it in you. Even if you are on your period, or if he is not wet, or you pull out. Your friends may have told you urban legends about ways to get around this, but they are wrong. Medically, these things are not forms of birth control! Go to the drug store and buy a pregnancy test. Then, go to the doctor and get a perscription for the pill, and buy some condoms. You are only mature enough to have sex if you are mature enough to be smart about protection! From now on, you need to use it every single time!

It sounds like you're just stressed out and lack of sleep. Eat a good meal, drink some water, and get some sleep and I can guarantee you'll feel better. I don't think you're pregnant. It was too close to your period as well as its possible to get pregnant from precum but its rare.
