I am not due to start my period for 2 more weeks, but i started today...is this normal? I have never been this early.
Thanks for your inputView Thread
Hi. My fiance and I had unprotected sex on March 16-17. Some day that weekend, and I just ended my period that day and put on my Ortho Evra patch (birth control). This week I started to get cramps like I am about to start my period but that wouldn't have been possible becasue I had my patch on. I have been extremely tired, and occasionally I will get this weird taste in my mouth. My breasts have become sore, but this happens to me often so I'm not going to use this as a symptom. The cramps though and my stomach feeling pain in it though is not normal especially since this has been going on for a few days none stop and I took off my patch yesterday because I figured I would see if my period came. I wasn't sure if it would be possible for me to be pregnant or not. I know it's proabably too soon for a pregnancy test at home but I took two one I took three or four days ago and it came up negative and then I took one today and it said negative as well. These were the equate ones from walmart the off brand of First Response. Please help me. I am extremely lost and not sure if I could possibly have gotten pregnant or I'm just having strange stomach aches.
Thank you.View Thread

I guess what I want to know is that, since I've been bleeding (even though its been strange), at regular times, is it necessary for me to take a pregnancy test? Personally, I think its all in my head.
While I'm sure people out there have had similar experiences, please try and focus on whether or not you think I should be concerned at all. I've been curbing my alcohol and other "unhealthy" habits, and I want to know if this was all for nought (except maybe that I'm not poisoning my body), and whether I can go on with my habits without feeling guilty.View Thread

I am planning on taking a test next week, but I'm kinda anxious now & I know that can intensify symptoms sometimes.
Any thoughts/advice?View Thread
Then on 2/18-2/19 I had a two day period. It was light but had bad cramps. My cycles are ALWAYS normal at least 4 or 5 days. The week after that I had nausea, extreme exhaustion, headaches, mood swings, and most food sounded gross. Pregnancy symptoms right? && my husband noticed my boobs looked larger. I took a test and it was NEG.
During the week of 3/11 I had a few of the symptoms as before. But add night sweats. Took 2 more tests and both NEG.
Then on 3/17 I started spotting and again on 3/18 spotting that turned into a dark normal flow. The cramps were really bad. It ended last night on 3/19. Today is 3/20 and nothing. Another 2 day period.
What I am asking is if anyone has ideas what could be going on?View Thread

Little bit of background: I'm 43, and recently brought up (again) the subject of a baby with my now partner. I keep telling him time has almost run out if we are ever to have a child of our own. Despite this, he didn't feel we were ready. Hmm.
Anyway, a few days later, we had sex (with a condom). A few days after this I started feeling odd-lots of pain in my breasts, and my usually "period is coming" symptoms-only way too early! I worked out that the day we had sex was day 10 or 11 (can't remember if it was past midnight), and it was a few days after that-around day 14, that I started feeling the pains in my breasts (which I never normally get before a period) and the way-too-early cramping. This cramping continued all the way up to the expected date of my next period (between day 26 and day 28), but no period came!
In addition, I have lots of very dense mucus, the sore breasts are coming and going (they're definitely bigger too), I have headaches often, and feel sick if I don't eat regularly. I'm majorly hungry too-I've gained several pounds in the last 2 weeks because of it. I have only ever missed one period in my life before this (well, one period that wasn't down to pregnancy that is), and that was around 4 years ago. At that time I didn't feel any of these symptoms-my period just didn't show, end of. I have done two pregnancy tests-one on day 28 (the day before my period should have come), and one on day 30 (yesterday). They were both negative. I am now on day 31-Monday 18th March 2013, still with sore and heavy breasts, no period, lots of mucus and feeling generally under the weather.
I have called the doctor's office and spoken to a midwide-she seems to think I am NOT pregnant, and has asked me to go in with a urine sample tomorrow. If this tests negative, she said they will do a blood test (for hcg, I'm guessing).
Am I going crazy here? Do I want a baby so much that my body thinks it is pregnant? (There have been other times I wanted a baby over the years, but the symptoms didn't come then) Or am I probably really pregnant, but it's not showing up yet on the shop-bought tests? I've honestly never had these symptoms before without actually being pregnant. At the same time though, I'm 43...it'd be unusual, right? Another options is that maybe I'm starting peri-menopause. I mentioned this to a midwife recently, when she did a smear test for me because I'd had a little bit of bleeding after that sex on day 10/11. She said she thought it was too soon for that. Incidentally, the smear tests came back looking good.
Any input here would be MUCH appreciated! I've discussed with a friend, and her view is that I find out what's going on before I mention this to my partner-who would NOT be pleased. He can be a bit temperamental to say the least, and I wouldn't mind betting he would accuse me of engineering this somehow, because I've vocalised that I want a baby.
Kindest regards to all
