Possibly pregnant....

Hello all,

I m scared i might be pregnant. My period is almost 2 weeks late. I have read alot about the signs of pregnancy, and so many of them sound similar to PMS. My breasts have been incredibly sore and swollen for about 2 weeks and the nipples are extra sensitive. I m dizzy, tired, and bad headaches. The only thing that is really different from my pms symptoms is that my breast are so much more swollen and sore and this reocurring headcold.

At the sametime I have a lot of stress in my life. Possible I am just postponing my period? I feel like it is time to take a test, I m so scared though, I feel like this just cant be happening to me now.

~,


Well, yep. It sounds to me like you are pregnant. What gave me that idea is the "headcold" part.

When you are pregnant, you have more blood running through you, thus producing"headcold" like symptoms and fluid retention.

Also, If you say you boobs are more swollen then they have ever been, and that especially the nipples hurt, thats another good sign.

It seems to me like this is not the "right" time for you. But rest assured there never is a "right" time for anybody.

And, If you are, you know that you do have options. But, its better to find out sooner than later.


Hope this helps, and you get the answer you want.

What am I having?

Thank you for your insight. The swollen breast and sore nipples is what really got me thinking. I m going to take a test tonight. I can make this "the right time" if it is so. I m 29yrs old and was not planning on waiting much longer, i just did not think it could happen this year! Well I will find out tonight.
