Hi everyone...

I do not know what to think... so I figured I'd run this by y'all!

It's been a way stressful month *DH looking to change jobs, ds turning one, new house*
I have managed to forget the exact date of last period but I'm sure that it was the 25 or 26th of July. I've been running between a 22 and 26 *with the occasional 28* since ds was born. I know we got it on the August 8&9 with no protection.

I've been stressed out, so I didn't really think of "hmmmmm... could I be?" untill this morning when I had to wake up EARLY with Ds and found myself running for a bag heaving.*and that's far from a normal stress reaction for me!* I've been having rediculously sore boobs this last week and nursing my son has been killer. I've also had painful cramps with back pain off and on for about 9 days now that I can't contribute to anything else, and I've felt like I was coming down with a big old cold.

I know stress can make things strange.. at the same time, depending on how odd my periods are, I could be 2 days late already. I did pos with a bfn on Monday since hubby is changing to a job with litle vacation for two years and only one week of pat. leave. He thankfully doesn't have to hand in his two weeks untill next thursday, so it would give us a small chance to factor this in.

I dunno... the dates look right, but with stress, God only knows!

Thanks ladies!

It could be either, but the symptoms you mention are the ones I get when I am pregnant. Back cramps and the feeling I want to throw up are pretty much givaways for me I am pregnant or having a migrane(weird I know). If you want to test but don't want to spend the money on a test, go down to the dollar tree and buy a couple. They work really well once your period is late and are just as accurate as the name brand ones. And they are only a dollar!

Good Luck on getting the answer you wanted!
