is it pregnancy?
I'm already the mother of a 7 year old and a 4 year old. Both pregnancies were fairly easy until the end (neither of them wanted to go to their due dates!) With both of them, I had no morning sickness, just tired a lot. My breasts didn't get sore, I got nausea sometimes with my daughter, but never sick, and really had no "typical" symptoms of pregnancy with either child.
Now, this month, everything with my body has been completely off! I started my period 5 days early. I'm a spot on 28 day cycle. My period usually lasts 5-6 days. This last one was only 3 and very irregular. Started with some spotting, and then was really heavy the second day, the spotting again the 3rd day. It's been 10 days since my period ended, and within the last 5 days, i've felt very bloated, getting constant spurts of nausea, extremely tired, using the restroom up to 20 times a day, and I keep feeling like i'm going to start my period again any second! I'm no supposed to have another period until November 4, assuming my body isn't completely a mess! I haven't been too hungry, too motivated or attentive, and i've been getting little nagging headaches on and off.
I think it's too soon to tell if i'm pregnant, but I'm feeling as though something odd is going on with me. Should I wait another week or so then try to take a pregnancy test? Or am I losing my mind, and should probably just go see the doctor? Any advice is appreciated and helpful!!
