Could I be pregnant my symptoms are confusing. Please Help

Hi I'm curious as to the symptoms I have. I've read all about the symptoms of being pregnant but I still have questions. I'm light headed at times like right now at this moment. A bit fatigue and queasy. My lower back kind of hurt but it's kind of like when you have to strecth in the morning. After getting out of bed except I keep doing it like six to seven times a day. I suppose to have start my cycle today but she hasn't arrived. I have mild breast tenderness and slight swelling. My cycle always just come I never experience symptoms besides cramping. But I haven't had that either. My main concern is my lower back it's really irritating. It's like when your fingers or knuckles need to be popped but they won't do it. Could this be a sign that I need to take a HPT. My sense of smell has gotten stronger. Sometimes it hurts my nose to breathe in because smells are to strong. I have mild headaches it feels like I'm sick or something. Without the signs of a cold or flu. I'm always so tired now. Please help me. Should I go to the doctor immediately could something be wrong.

Well it can be that your preggers or that your period is on its way. With teh last period i had last Aug, i felt preggers but i wasnt. Then in sept got preggers and had the same symptoms that iw as going to start my period. Getting a HPT or going to teh doc wouldnt hurt though. Good luck

get a hpt, if you were supposed to start to day a hpt would most likely be accurate. Just get one that says it is early detection. Let us know

I would take an HPT, if your period is due today, you could by one of the tests that says it can detect the pregnancy hormone as early as 5 days before your missed period. I would also wait to take the test in the morning with your first pee. It is more concentrated after bulding up overnight. It sounds like to me you could very possibly be pregnant. Good Luck and let us know how it goes:)

If you go to http://www.peeonastick.com/hpts.html it has a list of all the various home pregnancy tests and their sensitivity. The lower the better in most cases. I personally like Answer Early as they are cheap and accurate : )

Honestly the only way to know is to test, symptoms are a horrible way to diagnose pregnancy as they oftne closely mimick PMS symptoms. Let us know.

Take a HPT!!! I found out that I am preggers yesterday but I don't have any preg. symptoms except I'm extremely tired and hungry. Otherwise, I wouldn't know I was pregnant if I wasn't monitoring my cycle. So, good Luck, keep us posted.....

Ok I will get one today and take it in the morning. This only concerns me because although it suppose to have come today I've never started the day of. In eight years I have always start a few days before it was time for her to show. I've never been late a day always early. I haven't been taking the pill or any other type of contraceptive in months. Last november I was diagnosed with Hpv but I didn't have any dysplasia. My doctor said it would go away on it's on. But I got scared and decided to have a baby just in case in a year or two I got diagnosed with cervical cancer. Right now I'm fine though.

I know what you are going through.  I am to get AF on the 11th and I have been light headed today and having other signs, but is it PMS?  I took a HPT today, but it was not first urine.  I have had sore nipples, not breast, and the pain has subdude tremendously.  But I am feeling so sick, bloated and constipated.  Today is a really bad day.  If I am preggo, my last cycle was on 4/9/06. I am just praying.  I don't know if I am still taking the HPT too early.  I bought the way that says it can tell 5 days before AF.  I want to try again in the morning.  Should I wait?  Tomorrow will be the 5th day before.  I feel prego, but so disappointed in the BFN.  I hope that you are Preggo!  Much baby dust to all~!

[Minnie106]

I think you should try agian in the morning. But have you ever had the symptoms before?

[Minnie106]

Have you ever experienced those PMS symptoms I mean. I never felt this before she came though. My nipples don't hurt at all it's my actual breasts.

[Want1more]

It may still be too soon to test. If AF is due May 11th( My B-day) then you should wait till early next week. My AF was due yesterday and started testing Mon., I got really faint line then. Took test wed. night and it was +++++!!! then next morning again and the same thing++++++! So, just be patient and hang in there. Pregnancy symptoms and AF symptoms are a lot alike! Good Luck!!!

[FirstTimeMom2006]

not to sound rude, but hello...your breast get sore right before your period, heheh. I hope your preggers too :) would be great news!

[Minnie106]

But that's what I'm saying I never have breast tenderness at all. It just come. I don't have a baby but I have been pregnant before and that's the only time my breast hurt. But it was a little more severe than they are now. But I'll check in the morning. And let you guys now.

Everyone keep in mind if you use those test that predict up to 5 days sooner that they are less accurate the futher you are from AF.  If you read the pamplet it says there is only a 63% chance of giving a postive to a woman who is indeed pregnant at five days before AF.  The closer you get to AF the more accurate it is.  Anyway that is what First Responce states.  Good luck to everyone.
