Hey y'all...I have freaked out about being prego before, so I don't want to do it again. My mother always finds out and gets her hopes up, lol!

I had AF on March 17. I started a new job a couple months ago and don't have health insurance so I ran out of BC pills on April 8 (My next AF started April 7 just right on schedule). I actually missed about 4 pills prior to the 8th when I ran out because we were on vacation and of course I forgot them... My AF was NOT very heavy at all. It lasted a day longer than usual, but was very light in comparison to normal.

We don't use condoms and have had IC a LOT in the past month (no complaints there!) About 3 days ago on the 16th I started having slight stomach cramps which went on and off all day along with a mild headache. The next day, I had the stomach cramps and headache again and I started to feel dizzy. I don't feel nauseous, just kinda like I'm cramping like I would at PMS. Today I am feeling the same along with really flushed and tired/achy. I got up to do something here at work a little while ago and my back is killing me, like I've been walking around for hours though I haven't.

All this could be because I haven't had the pills. I have stopped before and didn't feel like this at all though. Especially not for 3 days straight. Almost feels like I have the flu, but it's not THAT bad.

Is it possible to have pregnancy symptoms starting about 5 days after the end of my last AF? I know it's possible to bleed a little if I was pregnant at the March 17th date, coudl that be what it is?

Do women ALWAYS miss their period before finding out they are prego? Would it be too early for a test right now?
