please help, is this a sign?

So,
  About a month-3 weeks ago i had unprotected sex with my boyfriend, he pulled out. I am expecting my period any time now, i thought it would have come by now. It's hard for me to tell dates because my period is irregular and often comes up to 2 weeks later than i expect it, however if i did go by the '28 day cycle' it should have been due around the 5th (3 days ago). i've been feeling cramps for the past 3 or so days and have been getting my normal signs that my period is coming, yet it hasn't come. Usually i do get cramps before my period, sometimes 4days-1week before my period actually comes. These cramps are a little bit less uncomfortable than my usual cramps though and i'm really worried that i could be pregnant. Is it late because i'm stressing too much? Is the only option for me to wait a little longer? Most of all is early cramps a major sign of being pregnant?

Any advice & anwers would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry hun..  waiting is all you can do.  Feel free to keep pestering us here to pass the time.  You stated that you are irregular, so you could just be expecting this too early.  

unfortunately, early pregnancy feels just like a peroid or ovulation cramps.  All the symptoms are the same.  However, each time I was pregnant, I did notice a lot more um, "discharge"  down there.  it will be like creamy white, or watery.  like normal discharge, but more of it.  i kept running to the bathroom thinking i started, but no.  just wetness.  hang in there.

You can take a pregnancy test.  ( the cheap ones work too)  Make sure that you use your first morning urine & Be sure to read the test in the time frame given.  DO NOT look at the test past the time the box states.  (if it doesn't say, don't look at it past 10 minutes, or you could see an evaporation line (false positive)).  if it is positive, well then...  if it is negative, then I guess you could keep testing every couple of days until your peroid starts.  

The only other option you have is to see a doc for a blood test.  this is prob around $50 bucks or so & you get results in a day or two.
