Hi Everyone,

I have been reading all of the posts for quite a while and finally decided to post one of my own, please bare with me it is probably going to be pretty long. So here goes, my last period was on June 28th. My cycle is usually around 30 to 35 days long. I have been irregular before, my last period was on May 31st and the one before it was on March 2nd. My fiance and I use the "pull out" method of birth control, I have no idea how effective that is. Well, about 1 to 1 1/2 weeks before I was suppose to start I had spotted a brownish pink color when I whiped (sorry I dont know how else to explain it). Since then I feel like I have experienced several pregnancy symptoms. Sick to stomach, mostly at night, sometimes my stomach just aches and it feels like I am going to throw up, but so far I haven't. Hunger, again so much that my stomach just aches so that I have no choice but to eat something. My breasts have felt heavier lately,I have noticed that there are alot of blue vains in them. My skin and hair feels like its more oily and I have red zit type spots on my forehead which I normally don't have. When I watch something that normally wouldn't bother me now it makes me want to start crying. Gas, major heartburn, headaches, lightheadedness, and extremely tired so much that I feel like I could sleep all day, and if I don't try to get extra sleep then I feel like I need to take a nap. When I was irregular before I took 2 hpt's and they were both negative, this time I took 1 and it didn't work. This time my body just feels different, I'm not sure how to explain it, it just feels different. So, I was wondering if any of you have experienced this before, and what you think my chances are of being pregnant or not. I am so worried that its all in my head and I am just making myself crazy. I plan to take another hpt this week. Thank you all so much for reading this sorry it was so long I have been trying to put it off and finally decided I couldn't any longer, I truely appreciate it. My heart goes out to all of you going thru this.

Thanks Again

Beth
