Are these pregnancy signs?

[lovetoshop]

I had a period last month, I think it was very wierd if so I spotted brown for a week then I think I had a period for 3 days (not sure cause I bleed through my whole pregnancy last time and didn't know I was pregnant because of that) a test said I wasnt, so now the next month my husband and I have had unprotected sex on October 29,30 and November 8,9 and 11th so far (we are trying, I'm just not tracking well because of the odd period last month) my last period was supposedly Oct.22-26 spotted brown then I think a period 26late-28 but I can't say for sure. Now it is November 14th and I have really sore breast and nipples for the last week my period is not due and this is not usually a symptom I have for ovulation or my period. Besides my breast I feel lite cramping in my lower stomach,it's different and I have had headaches, and I can't remember what year I have had one of those. The pregnancy test I took was back in October around the 24th I think could be earlier. I was thinking I could be pregnant but from this month, but that wouldn't make sense my symptoms are too soon. I would go out and just buy another test but we are kinda broke at the moment and I don't want to waste the money but I did start taking iron just in case. We also had sex October 12 through the 15 which was my ovulation week for last month. I 'm just confused because this was the only symptom I remember with my last pregnancy and I bleed the whole time thru that. Now I'm not bleeding at all since the 28th. I know this is alot of dates I just am confused about the symtoms and the time frame. I have a 33 day cycle always but this time I don't know what day to start counting because of the odd spotting. Does anyone have any advise?

Hey

First of all plz do remember that no pregnancy is the same., and yes u could be pregnant but the only way to know forsure is by getting a home test or go see a doctor.
Breast tenderness is one of the most common signs of pregnancy, The spotting could be ur uterus cleaning itself or implantation bleeding..
I had the same symptoms except i had the spotting right after my period for 4 days.

Best of luck 2 u.. and plz keep me posted with the results

HI!
Many pregnancy clinics and doctors offices offer free pregnancy tests.  Call around and see if you can get a freebie done--that is really the only way to know for sure if you are pregnant.  Everyone tries to guess by the symptoms, but PMS and pregnancy can be very similar.  Best bet--get a test done!
Good luck!
