My last two periods were: December 25th, and January 25th. So approximately 31 days apart. My period is never regular though, but after using the Plan B pill sometime last year it kind of regulated things a little-after a great irregularity. I digress, about a week and a half ago or so my Fiance' made the comment that breasts' veins were very prominent. This is unusual for me, although I am fair skinned. I figured it was due to hormone levels from the ovulation point after my January period. However, about three or so days later my breasts started to swell greatly and with that came the nipple pain. He would give me a hug just a little too tight and it would send sharp pains throughout my breasts. At this point, I started to get a little worried. The prior month-December-'s period was a little different from my typical. I bloated, which until that time I'd never done before-my mother told me that it was probably due to age. It seems my older sister ten years difference) experienced these changes in her about four years earlier than I am now, so it's possible. I hardly ever, maybe once or twice a year, get headaches so me not having them may not be an attribute through pregnancy lately. I can't say that I have morning sickness persay either although I've caught myself shunning certain smells or having queasiness when thinking about certain foods. I don't know if that is pregnancy related though as I've had food aversions from time to time throughout my life-for two years straight a lot of foods, nearly everything, would make me feel queasy. With my nose however, I' unsure. For instance, there was a candle on the nightstand and it was driving me mad! It smelled so horrible to me, I think it was pine, it about made me gag (In mid January) so much so that in the middle of the night I stuck it in the drawer so I could sleep. My stomach once again as the last time I was getting due for my period as bloated again, but as I said it could be age related. I'm not due for my period for 8 days but I still feel pregnant.. I suppose I was most worried when; I started to urinate 4-5 times a day, different from my typical 1-2. I got queasy after y morning cigarette-which is highly uncommon but not rare.. (By the way I've been smoking for over ten years but I am HIGHLY against smoking whilst being pregnant. So, in short, it's going to be h*ll) But it's to where I have to take pepto now after I smoke.. Tomorrow a friend of mine is going to give me a pregnancy test that she had left over-she is five months in. :) Anyhow, excuse my ADD please. It wasn't until yesterday that I noticed my nipples were-or, well at least to me, who could just be paranoid-slightly darker, a little tougher.. They normally swell 2-3 days before my period and stop hurting as I start. They've been hurting for a week and a half now. My stomach bloating changes so much it's like a 10 lb. difference. I average 95lbs. Pretty much have been the same exact weight for well, ten years. I maxed out 115 in 06' (Was amazing!!! I thought impossible) but the other day my fiance' weighed himself and was remarking how much weight he had lost-about 10 lbs-and so I weighed myself as well and I only gained about four but as I said it just keeps fluctuating. I've never been pregnant before, some of the symptoms I do have but it could be stress as I am going through a lot of life changes so to speak, right now.. I'm wracking my brain for 'what else' it could be. As he's expressed that he's not ready for children, I am not either honestly but either way I know I'd love and care for one if I should be blessed with one. We use protection every time and have been sexually active together for over a year and have only had one condom to break (lifestyles) and since then we refuse to use anything but the brand we were using before that one, Trojan. I dispose of the condoms everytime and always check them for any possibility of puncture to the point of washing it off, drying it and trying to force the semen out and all have been secure. However about three days before my symptoms.. I had a feeling about one of the her pleasure condoms we used. It had a layer of spermicide on it that looked much like the mucus of a vagina only slightly thicker. But as I was disposing of it I noticed that the top of condom was really saturated, I couldn't tell if it were me, him or the spermicide though (sorry for the information) but it did worry me.. I tried to discount it saying to myself that even if he had moved back up and into me that was the spermicide should have killed the living sperm on contact-I'm not sure how that works really I will be looking this up in a second. But anyhow, I told him not to worry and that it was probably just my hormones or stress.. But after my nipples darkened.... I started to doubt myself. I would love to have a child, even if I don't feel I am ready for one-precisely why condoms were used-and he would as well provided we had more money.. He's got quite a bit stashed away but he thinks we have to be rich, which is sadly almost true, but my parents were not rich when they had me (1 of 7 children) so you don't have to be rich. Just sensible, and willing to do anything it takes to raise your baby. I guess I just needed to vent because if I talk to my sister about it she'll tell my mother who will be excited but worried as we're planning on moving real soon. Dad would be ecstatic but my fiance' would be scared to death and the 'future' talks would commence and we differ on future issues to an extent so I want to avoid that if I'm not actually pregnant. I wish women could just "know" beyond a shadow of a doubt day one.
