I usually have irregular periods they come between 2-6 months. When I am on my period it normally lasts the regular 5 days, this time however, my period only lasted 2 days. For both days my period was light and the blood was kind of dry looking almost black. Also i had to take tylenol pills on my second day to get rid of a massive headache. For the past 2 months my husband and I have had unprotected sex almost daily exept during my 2 days on my period and an aditional 3 days before that. Lately I get so irritated for the very littlest things. I usually don't eat a lot of chocolate but my husband loves it and i've been craving chocolate candy, chocolate covered coockies, chocolate sundays, things he loves. For the past 2 weeks i've been feeling nausiated, and sometimes I feel my stomach a little heavier (take note that I am a BBW) and small, short pains near my womb area. I haven't been able to conceive in the past and don't know what to expect. Could I be pregnant????

You're having unprotected sex almost daily...so yes, you could be pregnant.

The fact that you have irregular periods means that you also have irregular ovulation, which means that on the months that you don't have a period, you most likely did not ovulate and so, were not capable of pregnancy. On the months you had a period though, you were certainly fertile at some point.

Do you have PCOS? The irregular periods and weight make me think that could be a possibility, though those are certainly not sole defining indicators of PCOS.

Why not take a pregnancy test?

It may be too soon to take a pregnancy test, but you could try. I would get two or three and if the first comes out negative, and your symptoms persist, wait a week and try again. If those still come out negative and you are still unsure about what is going on, see your doctor.
