Am I pregnant?

Hi, my name is samantha, I'm 22, married with two sons, the youngest is only 4 months old! I was on the pill for a month but stopped taking it when my insurance would no longer cover it. I got a new RX for a different one and am waiting for my period to start so that I can start it. I had a period in early Sept which was nearly two weeks long (usually it's 3 or 4 days) and am now 5 days late (I'm NEVER late, you could set your watch by me). Since last sunday (10/5) I've been nausiated, dizzy, and tired. The tiredness could also be attributed to midterms (i'm a college student), but I'm used to only getting 5-6 hours of sleep and rarely need more than that. I also have a really stuffy nose and that "I'm pregnant" feeling, both of which I had with the other two pregnancies. The best things in life are certainly unplanned, but ACK! I have a 2 year old and a four month old!!!! Is there anyone else who 'just knew' when they were pregnant and they turned out to be right or wrong? Thanks, Samantha

Hi Samantha - welcome!

I feel for you. I know that timing is not always perfect, but little miracles are sometimes not planned.

I understand your "feeling" too. I've had it before with both my DS and DD, but also with countless times of a late period.

Going off BCP can do a trick on your body, but it's a good idea to do an HPT to find out for sure so you can be taking good care of your body.

Best of Luck to you!

And keep us posted.
