Possible early symptoms? Advice please!?

The last day of my period was Jan. 12. Since then I have felt like my period was getting ready to start again because of continued abdominal cramping. I've also been constipated since Jan. 18 and experienced a few days of tension headaches around Jan. 16-18. On the 17th and 18th, I was extremely tired and slept for close to 10 hours each night. Does this mean anything, or is my mind just playing tricks?

Update:

Yes, I do have a 28 day cycle. I think my mind is just playing tricks. Like you said, my period should be coming soon, so I guess we'll see! Still, a little bundle would be a nice surprise for my husband and I!

    Have you had unprotected sex? The first "symptom" is absence of a period...don't take chances!

    I am 6 weeks pregnant with my 3rd right now and I have to say that with each one so far, I knew I was pregnant way before it was time to test. Some symptoms can start just 48 hours after conception! Some very early pregnancy symptoms include fatigue, food cravings and aversions, light spotting called implantation bleeding, sensitive breasts, darkened areolas, and montgomery's tubercules which are tiny white raised bumbs on the nipples. I had almost all of these a week before I was due for my period. It's true that some of these symptoms can accompany a pending period but woman's intuition could be telling you something as well. I actually read an article saying that most women who "just had that feeling" that they were pregnant were usually correct. If you absolutely can't wait for a home urine test you can go to the doctor and ask for a blood serum test. Blood serum tests can detect the pregnancy hormone hcg 6-8 days after ovulation, sometimes even sooner! Good luck!

    Either or. It is still way too early to know if you have a regular 28 day cycle. Hang in there...before you know it your period will be due.

    If your on a 24 day cycle then you'd just ovulated around the 20th 21st if its a bigger cycle then that you'd ovulated later. It could be anything drink sum apple juice.
