AF or PG?

I woke up this morning to nasty cramps and bloating and ran for a tampon.
Usually I start cramping shortly after my period begins, but it's been 24 hours now and no bleeding? I've never had that happen. I was crampy, tired, and bloated all day.
I have PCOS and have been off birth control for about a year, because it always makes me sick. My last period was four or five months ago, I am EXTREMELY irregular. They just come and go as they please.
So I was actually excited for my period.
But after waiting all day I'm starting to wonder if maybe I'm pregnant instead? I wasn't expecting it, since I haven't been having periods lately, but I suppose there's always the chance that I ovulated.

Well, I haven't had this myself. But I know of two people that had similar situations. Very irregular periods, but with symptoms of their period that were unmistakeable. They both turned out to be pregnant!! Any yes, you can very well ovulate without having a period. In fact, some girls that have never had a period ovulate monthly. I'd say that pregnancy is a definite possibility for you!

Hope everything turns out the best way for you!!!

I'm going to go buy a test today. Of course, I have NO IDEA if it's too early to test, since I didn't have a period last month, but if I'm feeling it, then it's not too early?
We'll see. This is very surreal, since we weren't expecting to get pregnant without lots of effort because of my PCOS. My logic says that it can't be, but I've never had symptoms like this before a period before!
I can't decide whether I'm hoping for a positive or not yet!

It does sound like you could be pregnant.

Well, I took a hpt and it was negative, but obviously I'll retest in a few days if I still haven't started. Especially since I feel positively awful today.
