I've researched my problem a lot before finally deciding to post for help on here. I wanted to see if I could figure out what's going on by myself, but I'm really confused.
So I had unprotected sex on the 6/8/08, and the 17/8, period was due 19/8 but it didn't come. Now 25/8 and finally arrived, so I thought "right, problem solved! No period, no pregnancy." Although before my period arrived, I was experiencing many symptoms which are related with pregnancy but could also be mistaken for simple menstrual symptoms. Cramping, severe tiredness (I've been feeling exhausted even after having 12 hours of sleep at night!), frequent urination (once every hour or so, unusual for me), tender breasts, severe mood swings (my partner has commented on that, as well as my best friend and my family! Also unusual for me), and increased cervical discharge before my period. Am I over-reacting? Are these simply PMS symptoms or is there a possibly pregnancy out there? I've been reading all these stories about women who have regular periods in the first trimester and early stages of their pregnancies, so I don't want to completely rule it out. I took a home pregnancy test and it was negative, but I also read about women who have to take several before the result shows up positive.
I have no idea what to do.
Any help is appreciated.
Many thanks.
