Hi all
I told myself I wouldn't voice my "concerns" in here but I honestly just need some support. This is a long one - so whoever gets through it gets 10 house points
I have on average 33 day cycles.
March 16 I had a period.
DH and I use the pullout method but we aren't necessarily preventing - it's more of a reflex habit and we would love another baby if an "oopsie" happened. We are relaxed about it, I guess I should say

If it happens, wonderful and if it doesn't - we will actively try soon.
In April, my period was a day later than expected and I experienced a gush of blood on the first day, as opposed to my normal spotting the day before it's due and then waking up with it.
The bleeding lasted approx 4 1/2 days and it wasn't heavy but wasn't what i'd call light, either. Just a wonky period, I thought. (Normal period is spotting day before full blown AF, normal flow, and lasts 7 days in all). No period symptoms really, except a day before the gush I had tender nipples. (That went away the day after the gush).
I figured it was just stress, as at the time DH and I were told we had to move out of our townhome because our landlord wants to move back in next month.
So about 2 weeks ago I started having cramps. No big deal, I get cramps at weird times anyways. But then I started experiencing tender nipples off and on...and then I started feeling something similar to the let-down tingly feeling in my breasts, particularly my left breast. (DS completely weaned almost 4 weeks before with one last session). So I thought maybe it was linked to that. I also had a pinching feeling in the right side of my pelvis. This is when the cramps started.
The tingles come and go. Heaviness in the breasts come and go, same with the tenderness in my nipples. I've been having regular cramps - both in the front/groin aches and lower back aches. My joints have been very sore in my arms, hands, and knees. My sternum has started hurting this week (wtf?). I'm hungry but nothing sounds good. I also have a constant pressure on my rectum (tmi sorry lol).
A little history: I tested negative on urine tests with my DS until I was 16 weeks, and I guess when they were + they were so faint 2 bloods were ordered and that's when I showed for sure pregnant.
I am so worried that if I AM pregnant, that I will miss the first trimester again. I also want to SEE a positive on a test for once!
If I am pregnant, I don't know how far along I am. Surely no more than 6 weeks (almost 7).
ANYWAYS, i'm waiting to see if AF comes...she's due in 12 days.
So I just wanted to come in here, tell my story, and wait it out...so i'm not alone.
