Pregnant & Period?????

Ok...I had my period last month. But afterwards, felt so weird. I was bloated, thirsty, hungry, had back pain, hot flashes, a heavy abdomen, leg cramps, calf pain, hip pain, pelvic pain, headaches, and dizziness. All of which still happens. Even have a weird taste in my mouth after brushing my teeth. I know these are all signs of pregnancy. The period was the normal 5 days.

Now this month, a week before this period, I started urinating a lot. This period started a day late. It usually starts on every third wednesday, but it was early early early this morning. I dont know how long it's gonna last, but it's lighter than the last one. Most of the blood is there when I wipe (TMI). It's still red, but not the dark, deep red. Just like the last time. I have heard of lots of women having normal to heavy periods while pregnant. And since this one came a day late, when it's always on time, I'm even more suspicious. I'm also even more tired. I'm not even bloated this time around either. I always lose my appetite during my period too, but when I woke up this morning, I was starving. Which was also a big pregnancy symptom I had these past few weeks. I even craved funyons out of no where. Didnt see them on tv or heard about them or anything. I cried when I was hungry the other day and there wasnt any food. I get aggrevated easily now. I know it all cant be stress cause my period came on time during stress too. And stress cant bring on half the symptoms I've listed. If I am pregnant, I'm 8 weeks and 1 day today. I'm going to test this weekend. But I just wanted to know if any of you went through the same thing. Or know a few people that have. Any feedback would be GREAT!!

I'm with you there on pretty much all of it. I had my period in September, normal as it gets, then in October I missed the entire month, then this month, normal as it gets although it was a bit early. I had the cramps this time that I didn't have in Sept., but I have cravings. I also craved Funyons out of nowhere. I went to the store and got some and ate the entire bag. I also have cravings for Whopper Jr. at Burger king, onion rings and that awesome onion ring sauce. Ok I'm very hungry now. I have all the signs you listed too. I bought on the 11th of Nov. and on the 12th that morning when I was gonna test, I started my period so I thought well maybe I shouldn't test. I'm nausea all the time and I sleep alot. I want to take the test, but I don't want to waste it, you know. Cause if I'm not pregnant, then I pretty much wasted $6.00 and will have to just do it all over again next month. I'm not sure how far along I would be right now but my jeans are getting tight around my waist, but I'm not gaining any weight, I'm actually losing it. Well, best of luck TTC.

All this stuff is just so weird. When my symptoms started after my last period it was weird. And now, this one started late and I'm crazy tired. My belly is back to feeling heavy. I still cant eat enough cause my belly gets really tight. And with the tiredness...I had insomnia problems after the last period. Now, I'm back on normal people times. Getting enough sleep, but still tired. I dont know what's goin on. Now I have a new symptoms which is itchy boobs. Which is really annoying. I know it's not dry skin cause my boobs rarely itch. So I dont know how to explain this. My body is doing to wacky things, lol. I cant wait for this test to come in so I can see what the result is.

The big thing is, I've been on birth control for about 3 years. I had to switch last year to a different brand. And it made my periods regular. It'd start every third weds. in the morning. I was waiting for it all day weds. and nothing! Then early early early thurs. it shows. But ended yesterday night. When it lasts 5 days normally. Why do women go through this?? LOL
