pregnant? or not pregnant?

well im supposed to get my period in about a week. my last period was very irregular as some of you may have read in my last post. it wasn't heavy, but wasn't light either, and lasted about 3 days, then went to the brown discharge for 3 days, then bleeding again for another 3 days. about 2 weeks ago, i started to feel bloated and have gained a little weight that just wont go away. then, about a 4 days ago, i started getting headaches (which i get often anyway) more severely and they are accompanied with nausea. i also notice that if i dont eat a snack or a little meal at least three times a day, i get nauseous. yesterday i started to notice that im feeling hotter than normal. In temperatures i normally am comfortable in, im not too hot. I also find that when i try to eat some foods that i LOVE, i can only get a few bites in, then lose my appetite also causing me to feel nauseous. so my question is, am i pregnant? and if so, am i farther along than just a few weeks? i've been reading up on early signs of pregnancy and it seems that these sorts of signs dont normally show up until around 6 or 7 weeks into the pregnancy.

I know that my situation is slightly similar to yours! I am giving myself seven more days to come on. After that it will be late and maybe "missed". I am not stressing (I don't think) so my cycle should be coming around... But I do know that lately I have been hotter than usual. Hotter to the point where people wonder if I have been drinking! I was feeling nauseous, but I am getting a little better with that. I keep a lot of fluids in me to prevent it as much as I can. But the heat... Unbearable! I get soo hot that it feels my heart is going to come out my chest and I have to immediately go sit down! If I am pregnant, the possibility is extremely slight, and I can't be over two weeks (probably nowhere near two weeks) but I just don't understand! Is this just a mental thing?

I would say definitely take a test. It is possible that you are pregnant. I know most women (and research) will tell you that symptoms don't start until 6-8 weeks or so but I will tell you from personal experience that I knew there was something "off" about me when I got preggers this time because I wasn't able to sleep, eat and I was extremely hot all of the time. I have PCOS and have no periods usually and I went to walmart and decided to take a test and it came up positive and I went and had my blood drawn the same day and my levels were only at 32! That is super low to know that something was up and I was definitely pregnant. Good luck and let us know how your test turns out!

oh yeah! i also forgot that about a week and a half ago, my breasts started hurting. not too bad, just a little sore, but it hurts if i have my bra on too long. and i never have breast tenderness associated with my period.
