Q: Pregnancy maybe ?

I get my period between 28-31 days normally, but ocasionally get it late. Last month I got it on June 26th, this month it was 4 days late (started on july 29th) but came on just like a normal period for me (bad night sweats the 2 nights before, moody, sweet tooth, oily skin, then the day before I get it I always know because I am freezing all day, then horrible cramps). I had cramps all night and the next day and lots of clots and tissue for the first 2 days, with medium flow. Then the next couple of days it was lighter, turned brownish like it usually does, then stopped. What is weird is that right before I got it and currently I have hard nipples. My boobs are not sore and are not any bigger, just my nipples are more erect. I was pretty stressed out before I got my period, I know that stress can cause menstruation delay and I do have diagnosed panic disorder and general health anxiety. I am also wondering if stress could be causing this weird thing with my nipples?? Or could it be a hormonal imbalance?? I tend to interpret every little detail of my body, hence the health anxiety, and I have been known to give myself symptoms after reading things. I have a bunch of friends who are pregnant right now and that is the LAST thing I want. When my period was late, the first thing I thought about was oh sh** what if I'm PG?? I kept dwelling on it and started looking up stuff on the internet about PG symptoms. Then I finally got my period and I felt relieved, but why the weird nipples still? I swear I have read to many posts on these forums and scared myself. Anyone else have similar experience???? Phantom preg maybe????

it is possible for you to have read 'PG' sypmtoms enough to tell your body that you are. Some women even completly miss their period *thinking* they are pregnant when in fact they are not.

of course the only way to be sure is to take a pregnancy test.
