I am 22 years old. My last period was
5/5. My husband and I are active...I am
always right on for menstraul and
ovulation cycles. I have cramps and lower
back pain like I do 2 days before my
regular period. However, I'm not due for
another period until 6/6. Could I be
pregnant? Also, very tired and have gas
and constipation.

It sounds like you could be ovulating
around now. You're right at the point of
your cycle where that could happen. I
always got cramps and lower backaches
before ovulation as well as extreme
fatigue some cycles.
If you have already ovulated, the symptoms
you are having could be due to the
progesterone released right after
ovulation and only possibly early
pregnancy signs. I did not have any signs
or symptoms of pregnancy until I missed my
period. It usually takes around 7-10 days
after ovulation for the fertilized egg to
implant, and then your body will start
producing HCG, the pregnancy hormone and
that is when symptoms can begin (though it
is rare to have symptoms so early).
During my cycles, I often got constipated
after ovulation, even before I was trying
to conceive. Now, I'm always constipated
(I'm about 11 weeks pregnant), but I think
it's due to the iron in my prenatal
vitamin more than pregnancy.
All you can do is wait and test if your
period is late.
