So here are my problems I am facing..
First, let me just say that my periods are not regular. They never have been ever since I was a teen, and still to this day they aren't. It usually comes around 1 1/2-2 months after my last period, well somewhere around there.. I am 99% sure that the last time my man and I had intercourse, was when we may have conceived. Which was around the time my last period was ending (around the last week of Sept.). Also, about 2 weeks after the last time we may have conceived, I encountered some spotting that lasted 2 days. The second day it just kind of slowly disappeared. I've taken one HPT about 2-3 weeks ago, though I am thinking it still may have been too early to tell. I intend on retesting within the next week.
With that said, here are the symptoms I am experiencing..
Most importantly, my tummy seems to be growing (something only I would be able to tell). I am not sure if it is just normal weight gain, but I've gained weight to this extent before, and it wasn't as noticable as it is this time. (when I say that I mean- when i've gained weight before -I am 5'7, normally, 120 lbs NOW I am at 128 lbs- my hip bones never started to disappear, this time it is as if something is pushing out & my tummy seems to be somewhat hard.) I hope that is understandable. I will try my best.. But anyway, also, my breasts are a little swollen (again, something only I would notice, since it is my body) and are sensitive, like they ache. I've not been feeling nauseaus, but I have been getting heartburn, which I normally do not even experience! My eating habits seemed to go up, somewhat. Not excessive, just my appetite is a bit bigger than before. My moods.. Ooh Lord, my moods. I think I have become a bit moody since my spotting. Very emotional. I've noticed myself cry at commercials! Commercials I would not have even shed a tear to, before! Not just that, but I've found myself over-reacting with certain things dealing with my man. Wish I wouldn't have been like before. Also, I've been feeling quite drained a lot lately, for the past few weeks.. I've started to notice that I am using the bathroom more than usual, and when I do go, it's like I can feel my bladder emptying out, as if there is something putting pressure it. Other than those things, and just overall feeling pregnant, I've not encountered other preg. symptoms, though my mother said she never really had the major symptoms, either.
I am thinking I am pregnant, for the obvious reasons, but I also hope it is not something else, more serious. Of course, this could all just be false hopes. Like I said, I plan to re-test soon, and I will let you all know what's up. I am just wondering when should I re-test and if these sypmtoms are something previous preg. mothers' experience. Any feedback would be great!

I have to say all those symptoms could be possible signs of pregnancy.
