Weird cycle, but might be pregnant?

I haven't had a normal period(which for me, is a minimum or 2 weeks in length)since the end of September & had sex in early October. Showed some early ovulation signs the day before & the day of having sex & then showed no signs at all afterwards. I did get what I perceived to be my period a week later, which was very abnormal for me & my "period" lasted a week, which is also abnormal. A week later I had 4 days of very intense nausea(never happened to me before)and experienced a heightened sense of smell(I've never had a very good sense of smell & started noticing every single smell anywhere I was). My "period" came recently, but it's very spotty & light(sometimes when I wipe, there's some blood, other times there's no blood when I wipe.), so it's very abnormal.

I have taken HPTs(one 2 weeks after the sex, two 3 weeks after the sex, one 4 weeks after the sex, & one the other day)and they've all come up negative, but I'm not sure if I should believe them or not. I have no plausible explanation for the no-ovulating last month, the 4 days of intense nausea, the heightened sense of smell, and my abnormal periods, other than a possible pregnancy. My breasts and belly seem to be growing, but I'm not totally sure I'm not imagining it, Lol. (My breast size is 40DDD, so not sure if pregnancy will increase them any, as I've read various accounts online AND my mom said hers never grew until AFTER each of us kids had already been born.) Some of my pairs of pants seem to be getting a little tighter in the belly area, too.(I'm a size 14/16 with kind of a belly already, so who knows.)

I haven't called Planned Parenthood or Pregnancy Resource Center or anywhere else yet, to tell them my symptoms/suspicions, as I'm wondering if it'll do me any good, since all of my HPTs were negative. :-/

Suggestions, comments, etc, please & thanks!!!!!!!!!!

I called Planned Parenthood this afternoon & the gal suggested I come in for a test, which I hope to do this coming Tuesday. I feel like my breasts are swollen sometimes, especially at night, when I'm lying on my stomach to try and sleep...definitely abnormal for me.

I am hoping to be pregnant already, if not, I'll definitely try again this month.

My cycle is bizarre & I never know when I'm gonna ovulate or anything, so who knows. I hope my test is positive & I'll let you know! :)

Good luck with your preggo test, too! :)

I to am in the same situation. I am 10 days late and all my tests have come back negative as well. I wear the same size pants and have also noticed they've gotten tighter. When I lay on my stomach I feel in my lower abdomen lk I'm laying on a rubber ball. Idk if you've had that same feeling, but for me its similar to my other pregnancies. I just got off BC last month which may be what's throwing me off. I will be calling clinic today, I suggest you do the same. There have been some cases where women have gotten negative results on HPTs but are actually pregnant...good luck!
