probably just freaking out

well, here's my little story. i've been on the pill for nearly a year (yasmin). i got married (yay!) and became sexually active in mid-july (17th). i had missed a couple of pills in the week before the wedding, but haven't done more than taken one a couple hours earlier or later than usual since (and not many, at that). i started to feel really tired about the second week of august, and for some reason my eyes started to hurt a lot of the time (they kind of feel like they have too much fluid in them). i actually left work early one day because i felt such a horrible combination of fatigue and nasuea (which i can't spell), and my manager (who has 3 children of her own) told me i was probably pregnant. well, i kind of blew her off as a joke. i got my period august 20th and it seemed fairly normal (lasted about 6 days, counting the really light ones), though it may have been slightly lighter than usual. the fatigue has continued, and i've been nasueated (sp?) enough since then to have actually thrown up a little a couple of times (i rarely throw up at all even when i'm sick). i got my period again, on time, september 17th, but this one was kind of odd. the first odd thing is that there was only one day that was heavy at all (normally, i've got either one super heavy day or two that are still worse than this) and it was partially a kind of clear goo (for lack of better words) for that heavy day. the second thing was that it only lasted like 4 days. the other thing that's getting me concerned is that, even though i've been working out lately and my diet is about the same, my jeans that i had just gotten back into a few months ago seem to be getting a little tight. not bad, but tighter than they were. i almost think my boobs are spilling out of their cups a little more than usual, but they're already big and a lot of my bras are already kind of small so it's hard to say for sure. (i'm poor - i'll settle for a bra that's a cup-size too small if it means paying half the price (that means DD's instead of DDD's, which are a pain to find to begin with).) i'm half convinced that i'm stressing myself into this or seeing things that aren't there, but i'm still worried. i'm a little afraid to test because i want my husband there when i do it cuz i know i'll fall apart if i find out i'm pregnant and can't get ahold of him for hours to tell him. plus i want to feel like i really have a reason for doing it other than being paranoid before i tell him i'm taking a test. maybe i should break out the tape measure and see if my measurements have changed? (i have them written down from a few months ago - my mother and i made my wedding dress.) any suggestions or ideas or thoughts or WHATEVER are more than welcome!!!
