Pregnant?? Would like to get someone else's opinion...?
OK, I've been having some strange symptoms going on lately, and a lot of them are making me wonder if I could be pregnant. Would love to hear other people's experiences/opinions. Thanks! I missed 2 BC pills around the time I should have ovulated. My period was due on Sept. 18 (today). I started spotting around the 4th of Sept- spotted for about a week. I've been nauseated, had diarrhea, really sore breasts for almost a month. Also, I started spotting again last week and spotted for about 3 days. I've been having a lot of cramping and just "fluttery" feelings in my lower stomach. I've been having really strange cravings lately (to be specific, hashbrowns, fried ham, cheese, and cucumbers and vinegar...lol) I've been on a cleaning rampage lately (during my last pregnancy I craved the smell of cleaning products- I'd scrub the tubs, toilets, and floors at least once a day). Any experiences/advice would be greatly appreciated!!

I wouldn't jump to any conclusions because if you missed pills you could have just messed up your system. If you were taking the pills regularly and just missed two isn't it possible you wouldn't necessarily have ovulated at that time because the pills "fool your body into thinking your pregnant". If your body was "thinking it was pregnant" up until the days you missed the pills would it have had time to do whatever is needed in order to ovulate? I don't know, but its something that occurred to me.
The spotting could be pregnancy, but it could also be a messed up cycle because of the pills being off. From what I've heard, even the nausea and breast tenderness could possibly be associated with the pill. It could, of course, also be associated with a pregnancy.
The cramping and diarrhea can mean the period is on the way, but it could also mean a pregnancy. If you have diarrhea you could have that fluttery feeling either because of "intestinal upheaval" or gas. As you know, there's no way that such a feeling would be associated with a pregnancy this soon.
People can crave salty things or beef when they have PSM, and I'm not sure pregnancy cravings would be this early either (although I could be wrong).
Its so early. I just don't think you can tell. I just keep think you may be getting a "more dramatic" period than you have been on the pill because of the missed days.
I crave the smell of cleaning products all the time. The other thing is I wonder if you may have associated the cleaning thing with the other pregnancy and just kind of taken it on because you're thinking you're pregnant.
Sorry that I can't do more than bring up the both sides to the "yes/no" issue. You'll know soon enough. You should consider that if there was spotting there's the chance any pregnancy may have something a little "off" about it and may not work out. (I know spotting doesn't always mean a pregnancy won't survive, but it can mean that.)

Don't wait to long before you find out weather you really are or not. I had some of the same symptoms but I wasn't pregnant. Your body could just be going through some changes. Go see your physician that's the best advice i can give or take a pregnancy test. Good luck.

Take a Test!! Sounds like you are pregnant. I skiped a few of my bc pills and got pregnant too. Take First Response pregnancy tests, there the best. You can test yo to 5 days before you missed period. Or you can go to the dollar store and they have some cheap ones to (behind counter)

Get a home pregnancy test....get one with 2 tests in it...take them on seperate days. If you get a positive, go to your doctor. It's possible you could be pregnant, but it could just as easy be something else.

honeslty, it could be anything. but take a test to be sure. i was 3 wks when i found out i was pregnant. if ur not then it could be a hormonal imbalance that's causing u to feel this way and ur body to act this way. best thing to do is to get a test and talk to a doctor.
