Well I've. Been having regular periods 29days. My last period was on Aug 12,2011 and its Sept 19, 2011. Took 2 HPTs and they were neg. But have been feeling rhe symptoms (tired, sleepy, hungry, bloated, starting to pee a lot and sore nipples. I normally don't get cramps till my period arrives.
Iven been having sex in hopes in geting pregnant. And even try keeping up with my temp to calculate ovulation. But since I've been anemic lately, my core body tempdoesnt go past 97.5. So should I call my PCP and ask to see him for a blood test or still wait till I'm 14 days late? Or should I go to my GYN instead(it takes 2 weeks to get an appointment), and I don't know if I can wait that long!
   Someone help me understand why I'm so tired and sick and can't hold food down.
