Q: Am I Pregnant Or Is This Something Else .. im Confused !!

I think I may be pregnant, but then again i could just be having really bad pms.
Idk, I need someone to help me figure this out..

My period has a 32 day range, not 28.
On the 11th of May I had sex, little did I know until after that that was one of my fertility days...(woops)
9 days after i had sex on the 20th i began my "period" which is funny because if it was my period then it was 8 days earlier than it should have been.
If the 20th had been implantation bleeding and not my period that would make me about 3 weeks pregnant wouldn't it?
Yesterday evening i got a pain in the lower left side of my abdomen, it was basically just a dull pain but it was still quite a bother.
Lately I have been so irritable, I had lower back bain..(really bad), ive also had headaches and heartburn, and ive been so tired, even though ive had alot of sleep lately.
I am very emotional Sad

and i feel fat and bloated and a little depressed >(sometimes), but not right now im very happy.
My stomach has been slightly cramping and my upper thighs as well and overall my body feels worn out. and ive been slightly dizzy a couple times.Ive also noticed that i have an elevated body tempature of 99.0, consistently and ive been feeling hot lately, and its making me sweat more than usual especially at night, but maybe thats because the a/c is not on at night.idk.
and ive been having craving for things that i dont usual care for, and thats made my appetite increase and today i dont really have much of an appetite at all, its really quite odd. also it doesnt happen everyday but twice(not in a row) ive been walking around in the morning and then suddenly ill have like this surge of nasuea and i just want to puke i feel so bad but it goes away after a couple of minutes..

so theres my situation am i jut having pms or is there a strong chance i might be pregnant?? Shocked

have you tested? from reading that i gathered that you're over 2 weeks late, right? a test will be accurate now, you can take one any time of the day.

if you are pregnant you start counting from the first day of your last period. i'm guessing that would have been around april 26th, which would make you about 7 weeks.

i'd test if i were you. to me all signs point to pregnancy.

good luck.

Yes, actually i had my period on the 27th of April
but on the 20th of May i had my "period", it was 9 days after i had sex and 8 days earlier than a usual period, so i think it may have been implantaion bleeding.
if it was not and it was my period then i havent skipped one yet bc my next period should be next week on about the 21st, so no im not late yet, at least i dont think i am.
That confuses me, if i am pregnant how could it be 7weeks? i had sex about 33 days ago, thats only 4 weeks and 5 days.
but i wouldnt could from my day of sex would i?
i would count from the day of implanation bleeding right?
but if i counted from the day of what could have been implantation bleeding i would be 3weeks and 3 days right?

well, if the bleeding you had wasn't like your normal period then you could still test. if that was implantation bleeding, a test will still be accurate. i'm not familiar with implantation bleeding so i don't know if it's spotting or like a light period or what.

to count how far along you are you start at the first day of your last period, which would put you at 6 weeks 5 days (i think). it's confusing but that's just how it's done.

you can test 2 weeks after you've had sex. i'd want to know so i'd be testing asap.

Also, if you are taking a home pregnancy urine test, take it during the morning.. like right after you get out of bed.

It should be most accurate at that time :]

take the clear blue test and they come in 2 in a box
i took those and they are so easy to read and you can take them anytime during pregnancy!

I'm in the same sort of boat, except that its almost definite that i am pregnant. these are my symptoms. I never ever get mood swings, but lately i have had them. I just about flattened my flat mate after he took some cheese off me because i was munching out on it right before dinner, my partner had to drag me away because i was trying to beat him up, also i have been going from happy to crying in a split second, and when asked why I'm crying i cry harder because i don't know why I'm crying to begin with. My breasts are sore and the nipples really really swollen and tender. I haven't had a period in over a month, but i don't usually get one every month anyway. My appetite has gone spastic, one day ill be so hungry ill empty the cupboards, fridge and freezer and still be hungry, but the next day ill eat next to nothing. My person is swollen and its irritating to go toilet but not so much sore. My stomach is harder than normal, and I've had quite bad abdominal cramps. My back is constantly sore, the only time it isn't is when i sleep. I am constantly queasy, but haven't yet thrown up-although been very very close. I constantly want foods i normally hate and don't like foods i normally love. Also I've been going to the bathroom what feels like every five mins. I'm constantly worn out even when i go to bed very early, and i get the occasional dizzy spell. I've had some light bleeding-basically spotting which only lasted 12 hours.
I went to the drs in the afternoon and did a test but it came back negative, but all the symptoms point to pregnancy. Is there any point in doing another, and how do i know how far along i am when my period is like usually mental, and i might get it once every 2 months if I'm lucky?
