I use to have really off periods, some
times skipping a month. When this
happened, I would get really sore breasts.
Well I am regular now. At the beginning
of last month I had an oops with someone.
Near the end of the month my breast were
tender, I was feeling some what "off" and
had this bloated feeling. When I finally
got my period a few days late, I had quiet
a bit of discomfert, which isn't normal
for me. Was I pregnant and had a
miscarriage with out knowing???
Now my boyfriend and I have decided to
stop all precautions, and if we get
pregnant great, if not, its ok! We are
not trying to get pregnant, but we are not
trying to prevent it either.
Ok new symptoms. It is the 18th day from
the first day of my last period. For the
last 3-4 days I have been feeling dizzy
when I lay down or stand up, or just
sitting/standing around doing nothing! I
also keep getting small waves of nausia.
I never feel like I am going to throw up,
but keep feeling sick to my stomach.
There is no tenderness to my breast
though.
I am starting to wonder if I am just kind
of hoping to get pregnant, and there for
looking to hard for signs, or even wanting
it bad enough that I am expeariancing
this. I don't know. I don't want to take
tests till I am sure I have missed a
period. But I want to know what you
think.

Stacey here are some pregnancy symptoms:
food cravings. Once you become pregnant,
you may mysteriously crave foods that you
seldom ate before. Your tastes may change
from sweet to salty or vice versa.
Breast changes. The changes are similar
to premenstrual feelings in your breasts
only more dramatic: nipples tingle,
breasts feel tender and fuller, the areola
begins to darken, and tiny glands on the
areola enlarge. Some women have described
this feeling as a, "broken glass"
sensation in their nipples.
Crampy pelvic discomfort. This discomfort
may be felt throughout the lower abdomen
and pelvis. (a sharp one-sided pain is
not normal and your doctor should be
notified.)
frequent urination. From the beginning,
you will urinate more often due to
pregnancy hormones. (later on, you will
have frequent urination because of
pressure on the bladder from the enlarging
uterus.)
increased sense of smell. All of a
sudden, you will notice things you wouldnt
have noticed before. The drain in your
kitchen sink, the dog bed, the bathroom
smell and even the carpets will have you
scrubbing to get their odors out. Some
women can even use their enhanced sense of
smell to detect a different odor in their
urine
fatigue – you no longer have stamina for
usual activities, such as walking up a
hill or staying awake until midnight.
This is because your body is demanding
huge amounts of energy to make the changes
for pregnancy.
Nausea and vomiting – morning sickness may
be confused with the flu or feeling like
you're "coming down with something." you
may feel queasy, have nausea all day long,
or vomit and have dry heaves.
Missed menstrual period. While
nonpregnancy-related issues, such as
stress, can cause you to miss a period,
this is a first sign of pregnancy, too.
Slight staining or spotting. Bleeding at
the time of implantation can be mistaken
for menstruation. Some women have
bleeding in the early months of pregnancy
at the time when they would have
menstruated.
Aversions to odors, alcohol, and smoke.
Once you are pregnant, baby-protective
mechanisms click in. You will notice how
coffee, alcohol, and cigarette smoke make
you ill.
Hope this helps

I would take a pregnancy test, with my
first, I just felt different, and I took a
pregnancy test ( I wasn't even supposed to
start for like another week) but I took it
and sure enough I was pregnant. That
helps alot.
