Hi!
Often, PMS can mimick pregnancy symptoms.  PMS also seems to be more common and severe when the cycle is prolonged for some reason.
Many doctor's offices offer complimentary pregnancy tests, so if you were my patient, I would recommend that you call around a little and find someone who could do a free test for you.
If the test is negative, you have the option of just waiting for the next cycle, OR, I often prescribe Prometrium to get the cycle started and help alleviate all of the symptoms.
If the test is positive, you could then just schedule an appointment.
Good luck!
Dr B

You might have had a chemical pregnancy, which is very common! Or u could just be irregular! I think u should go to a clinic and get checked out! It coils be something serious!

A related discussion, how soon can I test before period was started.

Okay, so i had just gotten off birth control on August 16, 2009. My periods when i was on birth control was always on the 16th of every month, but before i got on the pill my periods were always messed up. (that is why i got put on the pill) So when i stopped taking the pill, i didn't start my Sept. period until the 26 of October. After that i missed November and December's period. I had taken 3 home pregnancy tests every week up untill two weeks ago. They all had said negative. not one positive has shown up. !!!!!!! so i paused on the tests for two weeks...

       I had taken 5 this week, in the past two days.....And ALL of them were POSITIVE. I scheduled an appointment, but it's not for another two weeks. And untill then i need some info. is it possible to have the hcg hormone and not be pregnant? The only signs of pregnancy that i have noticed is just eating more and my breasts are a little tender. I've been urinating normally, and i figured that if i'm really 9 weeks along, then i would experience more symptoms and signs. ?? I'm really stressing, and i will be for the next two weeks. I'm 18 and in college. not married (but in a steady relationship though) and i just lost my job. What can i do untill i officially find out? Is it possible to have the hormone without being pregnant? could something be wrong with my body?
I also have cervical cancer...could that have any effect on my body this way?
