Pregnant? Not sure... help!!

Hello!!!  
I just happened to fall onto this website and was reading about mother's who were super thirsty all the time when they were prego... I have a daughter and dont remember that at all...  I do understand that every pregnancy is different...
I am having a few symptoms and I am wondering if I am pregnant...  I am SUPER thirsty!!!  I seem to drink so much water...and I go to the bathroom double the amount...  I have been SO tired for the past 2 or 3 weeks... to the point of where i can NOT get out of bed!!!!  I mean soooooo tired...  I am never regular when it comes to my period... late just about every month... thought i was prego last month, but started the day after I took a test!!  Every month before i start i have certain cravings...  odly enough, i craved BBQ...  I had to have the BBQ chicken...  I just dont remember a lot of the symptoms of being prego since the first one was SUPER easy... the only problem i had was my bbs being super sore... and they are not right now... BUT today (thursday) I have had some cramping thinking I am about to start... I also had this Sunday and maybe Tuesday... like I will be standing there thinking " I am about to start" and I run to the potty and nothing...  
Whew ... sorry this is so long...  I just dont want to rush out to the store thinking I am prego...  but maybe someone else's expereince would help... any advice!?  Thanks!!

I am back with MORE signs of pregnancy!!  How funny though... I am STILL running to the bathroom with tampon in hand thinking I am about to start!!!  The only thing is, I havent...  I went to the doctor and had them test for everything except I didnt want the pregnancy test... didnt think I was...  I really thought diabetes... BUT all of my tests came out ok...  Then I started getting more nauseated...  actually threw up about 4 days ago... my bbs just started getting sore on saturday (3/15/08)... but i dont know if it is just me about to start, or something else...  
Now, this may sound super gross... BUT I woke up this morning and was about to put my bra on... and noticed that my nipples look DARK purple!!  Freaked me out!!!!  I called my fiance into the bathroom and he looked too... thought it was really weird...  I am here at work and went into the bathroom to check again, but cant really tell...
Now, is this normal?  Is this something that happens during pregnancy?  I dont remembe when I was first pregnant.  I made an appointment NEXT week for my gyno visit only because I swore I was going to start this past weekend....  
Any advice would help... Oh, and I took a HPT about a week ago and still negative...

Sounds like early symptoms of diabetes, especially the huge need for water- thirst is a big indicator of diabetes- definitely get a blood test, the tiredness sounds like a symptom too- my mother has diabetes and if she doesn't take medicine at night she's awful tired in the morning and can't get a good start in the day until she eats something but it's because her blood sugar is way low by morning, also sometimes too many carbs before you go to bed at night can cause your body to tire out trying to break them all down if you have diabetes- BLOOD TEST IMMEDIATELY Seriously go to the dr

I've been experiencing pregnancy syptoms for the past 3 weeks. My last PMS was on Jan. 30 and lasted for 4 days. I believe I was o'd on the 13th of Feb. and have been feeling tired, feels sleepy in the afternoon but sleepless at night, my breast feels tense at times but mostly at bedtime. I feels cramp, headaches, dizziness and bloated. I did blood test last friday but came back negative on monday. I did a home pregnancy test on wednesday, also negative. Thursday morning after using the toilet i wiped I can see a light pink color on the tissue. I put the pad on before going to work. When I get to work, went to the restroom I spotted a very brownish-black discharged and nothing else througthout the day. When I got home I wiped I can see the brown color on the tissue, this time is a bit different, it look like jelly and gross. I suppose to get my period today and very heavy but that hasn't happen yet. Just  a small brown spot. This whole evening I feel sick like having a fever and dizzy. Could I still be pregnant??? Please help.

Hey.  The symptoms you are describing can sometimes be related to early signs of diabetes.  I am a nurse and these are signs that are usually among those who are diabetic.  I hope it is pregnancy!!!  Good luck.

Hello,

If you think you might be pregnant take a home pregnancy test.  If negative repeat in one week.  

Regarding your thirst, appetite and fatigue, those symptoms are also common to undiagnosed diabetes.  Perhaps a visit to a physician will be helpful.

Best regards,

Dr. Downing

Yeah, I definetly understand.  My period has been real irregular the past 3 or 4 months and just found out today that I am pregnant.  I don't understand why God made our symptoms so similar being pregnant and PMS symptoms can be so similar.  My bbs were extrememly sore too and I've been cramping and still am but haven't started and got a faint line on a preg test this morning.  I would take  a test and if you still don't start take another in a few days. Hope this helps!
