Just Wondering... (LONG TMI POST)

Hi everyone. First off, since I'm a first time poster, I'd like to tell you a little about me. I'm 22 (23 in July) and I just got engaged February 27. My LMP was March 3 and I've been like clockwork for the last year or so. My period usually begins on the 3rd or the 4th....always. So the week after (March 11-14) I went on vacation with my fiance. The first two days we didn't use any protection.

So I go the first part of March feeling fine. I go to the doctor at the end of March, and I've noticed that I've gained 4 pounds since my last visit in January. First time I've gained weight since last year sometime. I didn't think much of it. My period wasn't late yet, but I noticed that I didn't have my usual PMS symptoms. I really did feel wonderful. The 3rd came and I got the message alert on my cell phone that my period should start. It didn't. It didn't show up until the 7th, then it went away..no clotting or anything. Not even my usual cramps that I always get right before my period. Then the next day it came back, but it was brown and very light and didn't go away until 4 days later. My usual lasts heavy for 3 days and light for one day and then gone.

That's when the nausea started. I'd get nauseous every morning and night and only thing that would help is laying down. I started getting lower abdominal cramps and my lower back is in so much pain. I have no appetite, but when I went back to the doctor on Thursday, I had gained another 2 pounds. She was quite concerned about my sudden weight gain so she set up a PAP for me on May 19th.

I've also been extremely tired. I've never been much of a day sleeper, but now I get as much sleep as I can get. In the car on lunch breaks, in the morning, afternoon, night. I can never get enough. I've been using the restroom more often, but not a lot.

I've never been pregnant so I don't really know what to expect. I don't believe that I am, because I don't have many of the symptoms, but everyone around me believes that I am. My boss told me that she was feeling a vibe from me. LOL. The future hubby also asked me that the other night and so many other people.

Thoughts and opinions?

Thanks for the reply.

I haven't tested, well...because I don't feel like I'm pregnant. I guess I don't want to spend money on a test without enough convincing evidence.

The question I was really trying to ask is if there is a possibility of being pregnant with no symptoms.

I have to admit. I wasn't going to take a test. I prayed about it, and after my new symptoms:
-frequent urination (the most irritating thing ever)
-mood swings (mostly toward the future hubby)
-forgetfulness
-my appetite picked up (YAY!!)
-strange cravings (ham and cucumbers in vinegar, salt, and pepper = heaven. so does onion rings and ding dongs)

I decided while on my way to my 2am potty session that I would test in the morning. I did. It was BFN. I knew deep down that it would be, because I didn't feel pregnant, but I kinda wanted it to be, ya know?

Anyway, I went back to sleep only to wake up to my right boob leaking. Now my breasts are sore and my nipples hurt. I set an appointment to get a PAP done on May 19th. My next period is set to appear on the 3rd. I'll keep in touch.

EDITED TO ADD: Forgot to mention. My breasts are HUGE! The future hubby bought me a size 36D bra a few months ago that was too big and I'm filling it right up.

I'm done obsessing. LOL.

Thank you so much. I can't wait. Still a month away. I'm not too sure whether to expect a period or not since my last one was late and not at all normal. I have friends who didn't find out they were pregnant until 2-3 months along so yeah. I'm hoping.
