Should I test?

Hey everybody. It's me again. I hate that there's always some long story before we can get to our questions. It drives me nuts to have to say so much to just get an answer, but here goes. My LMP was 9/23, however my cycles are irregular and pretty much have been since I was in the 11th grade. My cycle before that one was 31 days, and before that 29, and before that 44, so there is never any telling when I O or when my next cycle will start. I've stopped worrying about it, and only keep track of how many days to give myself some sort of idea when I can expect AF. Anyways (see what I mean about the stories), we bd two-three times a week and only use w/d. I don't know anything about CM or CP, so don't ask.

I actually posted last week wondering how common it was to have a period and still be pg, because shortly after my LMP I started experiencing some queasiness, headaches, and metal mouth. My appetite has picked up immensely, and my bbs are sore. I have no idea when I o'd, but today, I'm having the same cramps and bloating that I get the day before AF shows. I even went to the bathroom to check, although I'm only on CD24, and all that was there was discharge, of course. I guess I am looking for some sort of group concensus as to when/if I should test. Could I even be pg? I'm so used to my body playing tricks on me, but AF would be way early if she shows before Saturday. Also, last Monday I had a weird heat flash, like my internal body temperature rose a couple of degrees, and when I asked my bf if he was hot he said no. It happened again that evening, but I don't know if that means anything.

What do you guys think? I'm open to suggestions.

Ok, I'm no expert, but here's just my opinion.

Thank you for your response. With so many options and limited funds, I'm just going to wait a little while. I hear with irregular cycles you should wait until 19 after the last time you had intercourse, so, that's probably what I'll do. If AF shows sometime in the next two weeks, then so be it. I don't want to get my hopes up and be let down, so you know, waiting it is. Good luck to you and I hope you get the results you want.
