It All Depends...
Were you late on your period at all?

There is a chance that you can be pregnant and have a period, but usually if this happens it is very light. You may be having these symptoms from something different though, you may want to go to your doctor and get a checkup. If you were not late on your period, it is very unlikely that you would be having all those symptoms before even missing your period from getting pregnant.

Hmmm...
Are you ttc? If you are irregular it would be very difficult to say, it is possible like I said, but it's rare. Also, if you are later than usual and you have symptoms, you may want to take a test to at least ease ur mind. However, if you have a normal period it may have just been delayed from stress or something changing in your daily routine. (like medicine, exercise, or eating habits) I would just wait it out and see how your period goes, because the only way you would be having a regular or heavier period while being pregnant would be if you've been pregnant and your having a miscarriage which is also possible. But most likely, you are just a lil late.

Whats ttc?? Yea that's what i'm planning to do because it does seem kind of wierd to be having these symptoms... When I just started my period earlier this morning it was real light and then it started getting real heavy and now it seems like im almost done with being on my period , its real light right now .... I don't think that is normal for just having one day ...

Ttc stands for trying to conceive. It also plays a part in you being late on your period. Some people (like me) lol, want to have a baby so bad that they end up stressing themselves out and begin to make themselves think that they are pregnant. Then again, the same thing can happen if you are worrying yourself sick that you may be pregnant. So I would just stick with your plan and if it's light or stops, take a test. At least you won't have to worry any more. Smile
