Hello everyone,
I have been off of birth control for eight months now. Every month I think I might be pregnant because period's been pretty irregular. This month it's been a little unusual than "normal." I found out when I ovulate I get hot flashes and I'm tired. Usually that goes away within a few days. Then I get cramps and my breast are sore a little bit until I start my period.
I thought it was weird cause I have had a lot of dreams of being pregnant and having children. Also my mom had a dream I was pregnant and she was watching the baby. My grandma and grandpa also asked if I was pregnant, that same day I talked to my mom. They don't know we are offically trying just yet.
Anyway, I took a EPT digital the day I expected my period 22nd and it was negitive. I started the 23, one day late. This month I had my Ovulation time and then started feeling sick about a week later. I'm on my 4th day and it's not nearly as heavy as it should be. I only had cramps for one day off and on, and they were very very light. I still am eating everything in sight and after I eat I get nauseous or have indigestion. My breast are still swollen&sore, still having hot flashes, bloating, and what feels like a knot, tingly, and heavy feeling (instead of cramping). Also about two weeks before I started my period I had a wierd feeling I needed to quit smoking. I'd get sick and had a gut feeling I needed to quit. (I know bad with TTC and for me) so I thought for sure I could be pregnant this month. I am now down to 2 from 10-12 a day. That's really a big step for me. I'm going nuts but I'm happy with my progress. Now I got to get my husband to quit :). So I was planing on taking another test on Fri if I still have all these symptoms. Has anyone ever had the same syptoms as me? With having a period and everything and being pregnant? What is the best PT to take so early?
Also one of my best friends is living with us for a little while until she gets on her feet. We have the same cycle and this month she only had a period for 4 days and was lighter than normal with no cramps. She said she has never ever had anything like that before. She knows he's not pregnant. We thought that could be another reason why I might be pregnant. Because aren't most roomates cycles the same?
So I would love to know what you think and to tell me about your stories. Pregnant or not. Thank you for letting me talk I do that a lot. Hope to hear from anyone.

I'm not sure about your situation, I'm sorry, but for PT I prefer First Response. I believe it tests for as early as 5 days previous to when your cycle is supposed to start. I hope at least this little bit is helpful. Good luck.
