Just wanted to mention sometimes hormones in meat can affect you and mess with your cycle. Particularly noticeable in your breasts.

If it's been 30 days since the start of your last period, you ought to be able to get a reading on a pregnancy test by now. Could just be a weird cycle. Sometimes if I've gone through unusual stress or considerably extra physical activity, mine will go weird like that. Could be a female problem...if it happens like that the next couple times, be sure to get an appt with your ob-gyn to rule out stuff like endometriosis. Could be a reaction to something like a med, nicotine, stuff like that will mess with your cycle. Not to concern you any more than you already are, but it could be a number of things other than pregnancy, and sometimes it is normal to just have a weird period. I know if I get too much caffeine during a cycle, my breasts will hurt a lot more than usual. Try not to worry too much, certainly don't wear yourself out worrying until you know something concrete. What do they say, 90% of the things we worry about never come to be? ;)

Are you on a really reliable birth control product since you know your meds could be a problem? Like I wouldn't want to depend on condoms or even the pill if something you're taking could hurt a developing baby. Maybe talk to your doctor about your b/c options if you aren't already and that will help give you some peace of mind. :hugs

I can't use hormone birth control. No caffiene. No unusual exercise. No unusual stress. No chance in meat eating - we've been eating venison lately, so no artificial hormones in meat.

But it still could be a wierd cycle. :barnie

Thank you! :) My normal PMS symptoms are limited to 3 zits. I am spoiled, lol. Ovulation symptom: crazy sex drive! lol TMII. sorry.

I'm just sitting here wondering if I'm having hunger/nausea or if I'm just stressed out? I can get hella stressed out and not get nausea. It didn't come on until several hours without eating. I was eating every few hours during the day - not normal.

I'm up late because I stopped a medication and a withdrawal side effect is not being able to sleep at night. Doesn't help that I have been sleeping a lot during the day!

I'm off to try to sleep again. :barnie

try some chamomile tea with ginger. Ginger helps the nausea and chamomile helps destress and also can help upset tummy. And both are safe in pregnancy (just in case).

I think I got over my freaking out, however, not over my insomnia. I think I need a snack - this hunger/nausea thing is kicking my butt. Other than that I feel totally normal. :cool:

Just a note, you CAN get pregnancy tests for $1 (yes ONE DOLLAR) at the Dollar Tree! Great for stockpiling, or taking multiple tests until you're convinced of the answer. And they are JUST as reliable as the fancy expensive ones. 2 different stores in same town - one I had to ask for them at the register b/c they had a habit of walking out the door, the other they were displayed where anybody could get them.

Hope you get stuff figured out, and all is well. I feel ya on the meds not safe for growing baby bit. My doc has me on notice that if I even THINK I'm pregnant (not gonna happen, you have to have sex for that, and while I'm glad to no longer be with my controlling, emotionally abusive ex, it's also been nearly 2 years since, well... sigh) I'm supposed to call and get on different meds.

Our dollar store tests are $4. Boo. I bought 5 , used 2 knowing that they could not possibly be positive. :barnie I should know better!

Sorry about the sex situation. Are you desparate enough for random play? just teasing. :lol:

Uggh. Side effect from medication: not sleeping last night. Not even for a minute. No naps for me today. :(
