I was supposed to start my menses on 1/14/08 but it is 1/19/08 and still no sign on it coming. I have been having minor cramping, extreme exhaustion, mood swings, breast sensitivity, and for the past couple days, I have been feeling nauseated starting at 10am until about 1 - 2pm which is only quelled by eating or drinking something. I also have this insatiable urge to eat EVERYTHING, which is very unlike me. Plus, my basal temp has been ranging from 97.6 - 98.2 for the past week, which is a bit high for me. I took a test the first day I was late and it came back -. I took another one this morning and it too came back - but this time there were scattered dots along with the horizontal line. Was this a bad reading? I also have ovarian cycsts. Can those be affecting the reading?
