Not Sure....

I know I may be jumping the gun, but I think I may be pregnant. I stopped using BC in sept. and had a miscarriage scare in Oct. Turns out I was never pregnant. I am usually not late, but after not being on BC im not sure when my flow really comes anymore. My last period was on Nov. 10. I havent gotten my period in Dec. yet. I plan on taking a test by the end of the month if I dont get it. I have had unprotected sex a few times during my fertile days. I have been having cramps, (which could be my period showing up whenever it desires) bad lower back pains, smells are getting to me, and I have lost 5 pounds in 2 weeks, getting up at night to pee (never used too), heat flashes. Does this sound like im pregnant? or is it pms?

P.S. I have 2 wonderful children now and we want another one :)

What can I do next?

Spend the $5 for a test and find out. It sounds like you're pregnant to me! If it was me, I wouldn't be able to wait until the end of the month to find out!

sounds like me, pregnant. Those were always my first clues, mainly the peeing in the middle of the night, but when you're pregnant your temp continues to climb for a bit. Mine was always in the 98 range right out of bed. If it drops back down around 96 or lower, you'll be starting your period that day. Okay, just read the gassy symptom. Go get a dollar test at Dollar General. Cheap and yet effective. Happy testing!

Well since you used unprotected sex then you might be pregnant. But since you are just starting back to your normal cycle it might be your body just readjusting itself back to your normal cycle. But I would say it is a big early to think they are your pg. Give it a couple more weeks and use some sort of protection if you are not wanting another one soon. Everyone reacts to pg differently and if smells are a tigger for you then you might already know the answer but if you already have children then you know what your body feels like to be pg. Since you have lost weight it doesn't sound like it and I used to be real sensitive to smells and I was never pregnant but just a weird reaction for some reason. Give it some time.. you will know for sure.

Buy a two or three pack of tests. If the first one comes up negative, wait another week and test again. It could be too early to tell.

I also know that when I wanted to become pregnant it somehow was always on my mind and I could "feel" symptoms that either really didn't exist or did because mind over matter is a really powerful thing.

As soon as I got a negative reading, my symptoms disappeared and I started my period the next day! I had a shock the last time I took the test and it was positive. I had made a resolution with myself that it probably wasn't going to happen again and was hired for a full time job. Needless to say, I quit the job after I realized I really was pregnant!

Take the test and put yourself out of misery! :) Good luck!

You should be able to take a test now and if you are pregnant it will be able to be positive. It's better to know than to worry. You could be pregnant.

You learn very quicly when you are trying to conceive and having problems. Early pregnancy symptoms are pretty much indistinguishable from PMS.

Sure once you are 6 week or futher you will more than likely get morning sickness as your hormones will be high enough by then.

I found the only thing that alot of people get that isn't a PMS symptom is gas. Everyone that was Trying to conceive on our forum got gas and that was usually how we knew.

But if you want to know take a pregnancy test. Most are so sensitive anymore they will pick up hcg at 25 or more. That can be that level a few days before your missed period anyways. The most sensitive reliable one is First Response Early Results or FRER as most refer to it.

Good luck!

I think its possible!

All I can really think to do is to tell you what I experienced as symptoms. I didn't deal with morning sickness at all really. A little nausea would pop up from certain smells or foods but I never vomited. I felt like I was going to get my period around the time I should have, but it never came. Smells started getting to me, I was emotional more so than usual (I couldn't even watch a humane society commercial without bawling, wasn't possible at that point) constantly getting up to pee, weight gain (some women do the opposite though). I didn't have hot flashes until I start putting on some weight really late in the first tri. Had to have certain foods, other foods just weren't appealing at all.

Good luck! I hope you get a nice little positive test line in a few weeks :).
