Signs I've apperently ignored..

Okay today is March 6th and my last period started January 31st (about 34 days ago). I'll admit moving , getting a new place (with my man!) and a new physical job has been a bit stressful during February, but not too stressful for me personally- just different, trying to get used to, kind of stressful... I guess.

I don't use any kind of birth control(s) and the last time I can recall on of those "Oh.. oh o-OH GOD!" moments was the beginning of February (having a new place with nothing else to do, am I right? *nudge nudge*) well I seemed to have forgotten about it until around the very end of February, beginning of this month that I cry over everything. I cried at work in front of everyone because the coke machine wouldn't take my dollar. My boyfriend jokes with me and I cry over it ("Tell me why the chicken had to get to the other side!!"). I couldn't find my keys one night and I felt sad that they were missing! I could go on and on, but!

Cramping. Bear with me on this one. I don't know about you guys, but when I come close to my time of the month, my cramps are deep, like deep inside and linger for minutes. The ones that come and go every now and then that I am experiencing are... superficial? Oh, and once or twice sharp pains from my shoulder to my lower abdomen, hip area. Very painful if I move. They pass shortly.


Gas. I have to pass some waaay more often than usual. Slightly embarrassing.

Lightheaded/Dizziness. From the gas? Maybe. Although the other day I bent over to pick something up but upchucked on it instead. Have noticed (from just last night) very lightheaded when kneeling, crouching, reaching up high.

Indigestion. Something I'm not known for having while growing up. Comes hours after eating which I found odd.

Boobs. Very swollen. Very uncomfortable. After work the first thing I throw off is my shirt and bra. My boyfriend doesn't seem to mind, but I do. Can't lie on my stomach anymore due to the fact that it causes pressure on my girls.

Insomnia. Can't sleep. Just can't. I lie down and daydream like I usually do and realize after an hour that I'm still just DAYDREAMING. I can do that while doing something else... which is what I end up doing besides sleep. Very aggravating due to the fact that I work nights and need to follow a certain sleep schedule (after work to afternoon, because that's when all the fun happens).

So yes... haven't really put two and two together until I realize the first stated fact, that it is the 6th and still no period. No hpt done yet by the way (honestly. I like the suspense...).

What do you guys think?

I agree it sounds promising but I think that if you took a home pregnancy test then it should be pretty accurate.

I think you should test! It may just be stressed but if you are normally regular then it def a sign to test so you can get the best prenatel care possible! Keep us posted
