Need some advise

[ranchgirl1210]

Hi I have been trying to get pregnant for sometime now, and my period has been a little crazy the past 3 months now, I have always been a heavy bleeder with the painful cramps and my period comes like clock work, always on time, I have latley been experiancing some changes in my body, my boobs hurt, im always tired, i cant get enough to drink which probably is why i pee alot LOL, but this month my period came early by four days and it was really nothing, very light almost spotting and only lasted 4 days, then went away, so should I test? I have been wanting a baby for sometime now, especially sinmce my mom is very sick and wont be around much longer and I would love her to meet her first grandbaby before she goes, so please I will take all the advise that I can take, thanks!

There could be many reasons as to why your cycles are changing, so it's a "process of elimination."  So first things, take an HPT.  If it's positive, congratulations! are in order and a doctor's visit.  If it's negative, I'd encourage you to visit your obgyn for a round of standard fertility tests, including TSH test (thyroid stimulating hormone).  An imbalance in hormones can cause irregular cycles, as can many other conditions. Your obgyn can help narrow the causes and suggest temporary prescription meds until you get pregnant.  Good luck!!
