Could I be?

I haven't had a full blown period since Sept 19. I had a very light one with almost just brown spotting that lasted for a couple of days the first part of October. I hadn't really thought about it because I was in the process of moving into a new place and starting a new job. So I was just thinking it might have been stress and I didn't think anymore about it. In Oct though I started having really bad acid reflux and my abdominal area hurt (muscle pain like). Well within that past few weeks foods that used to sound good or taste good to me don't anymore and smells are really getting to me. I tried calling my doctor to see if I could get in, but she's out this entire week and of course the nurse can't do anything. My boyfriend wants to wait to take a test when we're both off work so we can do it together....which won't be until next Tuesday. This may sound odd, but with my first pregnancy (8 years ago), can't remember how I felt and all then, but I notice now that whenever I wake up in the morning and have to go to the bathroom my abdominal area is really hard and it used to not feel that way before all of this started. Could my chances of being pregnant be there or is just stress and I'm making it into being pregnant?


Thanks

Hmm...it's been a really long time since your period...along with the other things you mentioned, it very well may be possible that you're preg.

Well I wound up taking a hpt yesterday and it came out positive or so I think. I took the EPT test and it had one very dark blue line and then another line that had dashes in it. So I'm guessing it is positive. We're going to retest today with my boyfriend there. So we'll see what happens with the one.
