Concerned yet excited

I had a tubal ligation after my 4 child last january when I had my c-section done. My husband and I are still quite sexually active and I haven't missed a period yet but I think there is a possibility I may be pregnant.  I just don't feel right at all. I just finished my cycle almost a week ago so it will be a while until I will miss period. I am worried b/c I have had multiple miscarriages before as well as got pregnant on birth control before. I am 25 years old and I would think pretty healthy considering having 4 kids short time. I am very concerned of an ectopic but terrified of going to the dr yet. At the same time pleasantly excited. Just looking for some opinions. Thanks

Hey Nikki,
   I understand how your mom felt with my oldest child who is four I was the same way. I was 5 months pregnant when I found out. I only found out because I passed out at college and they couldn't ask me anything so they tested me and did an ultrasound. I was 19 going on 20. I was horrified and my mom alost killed me but then she gave up. They still can't figure it out.

Hello, I'm Nikki.. You && I seem to be in the same boat.. I am 25 I Have 3 Kids && a tubal after my last 16 mo. Ago.. A few months after I had my baby my cycle got really weird.. Going from 7 day cycles to 3 day cycles.. About a year after my tubal I started having Preg. Symp. So I took a test.. Positive.. So I took a few more.. 1 or 2 out of about 9 were negative.. I went to the Doc. && she said I must have been getting "evaporation line" positives.. So she checked my HcG Levels and they were at 3 && she said "Well your levels are at 3 so there isn't anything there.." && I was thinking SHOULDN'T MY LEVELS BE AT ZERO?? So I don't know what really happened there.. I believe I was prego. but according to the Doc. everything looked "normal" But recently I have been feeling I may be Prego. again.. Smells are getting to me.. In the middle of chewing my food I will get groced out && spit it out.. My boobs are getting sore && that never happend during my cycle which is due on the 25th.. && I'm craving things that are not normal for me.. I'm not a big sweet person but yesterday I made rice crispie treats just so I could put banana slices on top && drown it in choco. syrup.. I wouldn't mind if I am Preg. but if I'm not then that wouldn't bother me either.. I just don't want to be in my 30's && all of a sudden become pregnant again.. && even if you DON'T miss your period but you still feel pregnant go get checked.. My mom had her period for 5 months while she was pregnant with me.. She didn't even know she was pregnant..
