Hopeful, yet unsure. . .Pregnant?

**cookie55** · 02-25-2010 07:21 PM

Let me start off by saying that I am not on birth control, nor have I ever been.

Okay, I am unsure of what to think right now. Back in December I had a first trimester miscarriage with my first pregnancy. Since then, of course I've had unprotected sex. At the beginning of Febuary I had an unusually light, and extremely short period with little cramping at all. Usually I have a Godzilla period, with lots of cramps, and back pain, and I always have to take off work the first day. Since then, I have had head aches, light headedness, quite moody, thirsty all the time (don't know if that has anything to do with anything), sleepy, and nausea. The other day I ordered one of my favorite meals, sat down to eat and threw it up without warning before I finished it.

The very next day I started my period "AGAIN" which would put me a two periods this month! This is yet again "unusual", with yet again very little/no cramping, a heavier flow than the first one, but not nearly as heavy as it usually is. I am in my 20's so I'm too young for a lot of disorders that occur in women, and I don't have a family history. Could I be Pregnant again, or is my body just wacking out? I'm hopeful yet unsure, and kinda nervous about taking a test (which I know I eventually have to do). Please help!

P.S The first time I was pregnant I didn't know until I miscarried, so not sure as to what I should be expecting, that's why I'm asking. . . .

Have you tried a pregnancy test? You might want to see a doctor & have them do a blood test. If you couldn't tell the first time until you miscarried, then tests might be the only way you'll know. Normally I'd say that most women know when they're pregnant because they don't just "kindof" feel tired, they're EXHAUSTED (my mom literally had to pull over and sleep for a few minutes while driving home from work)...but in your case it seems like the usual signs aren't there or are barely there.

Because of my schedule I'm always tired! My day begins 6am and ends 10pm. I'm definately more tired than usual though! I took a day off of work this week on wednesday just to sleep! That was the day my BF and I started think "maybe" I could be pregnant. That's why I joined this site first thing Thursday morning! I just push stuff off a lot, and push through what ever may be; because of my responsibilities. I just don't feel normal though! I'd rather sleep than eat even though I'm constantly starved! I force myself to snack at work, mostly on fruit (doesn't go down the best) and crackers, and when I eat lunch it always feels like it's about to come back up, so I spend 45mins after lunch fighting to keep my food down just so I can speak with my clients. . . pregnant or not something is going on!

And no to the pregnancy test, haven't taken it yet. I'm nervous, and don't want to take it alone. My sister & bestfriend recently moved, and my hubby went out of town this week for work, & won't be back for "months"!!! I feel like I'm by myself on this one ya know!
