What is the likelyhood?

I'm wondering if there is a good possiblity that I'm pregnant. I'm so afraid that I'm just paying a little too much attention to my body and have become paranoid. I do want a baby though. Please tell me what you think. I'm about to go crazy for some answers and opinions. Here's the deal: I haven't been on my pill for a month. I can't remember the exact day that was the first day of my last period although I am pretty sure it was on July 29th. My cycle usually lasts 30 days.

1) Can I get pregnant when I am not ovulating?

2) Is it just less likely for me to get pregnant when I'm not ovulating?



Some of what I thought might be signs of pregnancy are: Keep in mind I do not start my period for another 1 1/2 weeks or so. Yesterday, I started cramping a little (it was more of a "mild" cramping) for about 20 minutes or so then it stopped, a little more gas than usual *ahem*, my nipples have been really sore for the past 3 or 4 days and they are NEVER like that, and frequent urination (not sure though _could be paranoia), OH! and I kept having these weird mood swings yesterday.. I kept crying over little things like... not being able to find lotion that was sitting next to me, not knowing where my hair clips were and something else. Weird I know... Today I haven't really had any of those symptoms except for my nipples being sore.

3) Is it normal for you to skip a day between and not have any syptoms?

4) Should I even have any of these symptoms if I'm only 1-2 weeks into pregnancy?

5) Please tell me what you think. Am I just imagining it?

Thank you so much in advance for those who reply. Thank you!

You cant get pregnant after ovulation and if you can the chances are slim to none!I think its normal to skip a day here and there without symptoms . No I dont think your imaging the symptoms and it could be related to pg but normally at 1 to 2 weeks you dont start having them so my guess would be the classical PMS going on !


Goodluck !
