My husband and I somewhat "tried" this month. I ovulated on the 9th. Started spotting on Monday, a week before my period was due. It turned into what I thought was a regular period so I knew I wasn't pregnant. It ended up only lasting 2 days. My periods always come every 28 days and last about 5 days. Well my husband and I discussed some things after I knew I wasn't pregnant and decided we were going to wait until after the new year to start trying again. (he got a new job offer and will be gone until dec training.) so pregnancy was out of my head and I'm totally okay with not being pregnant right now. But now I'm having all these symptoms that yes could be pms symptoms but I've never had that happen AFTER my period. My lower back is killing me, when I wake up in the mornings, late at night and when I've waited too long to eat I feel like I'm going to throw up. After I eat I feel better, super tired, weepy, etc. I don't feel like I'm creating these feelings. I'm just really confused. I bled Monday and tues enough to wear a tampon and then it just stopped tues night. Am I crazy? Could I be pregnant?

Of course you could be! Take a test with first morning urine.

I bled (spotted) for nearly two weeks into my pregnancy.

All you can do to be sure is take a test and see a doctor. When I was pregnant I had no idea until they told me I was 10 weeks. Swear to it. I never had any signs or sickness. I had my period for 4 months and spotted every month after that.

Thanks for the quick answers! I'm feeling a little nutty! I bled with first 2 pregnancies but to be honest I really don't remember how much. I just assumed since I had to use a tampon pregnancy was out of the question. Now my body is being all crazy! I wasn't due to start until Monday. Should I wait until after then to take a test?

I would just take a test so your not so worried. Then take another Monday. Go to a clinic and maybe a doctor can give you better answers.

You I think I'll take a test tomorrow morning and then next week. I'll wait on the dr for now because I don't really want to pay a $60 co pay for someone to tell me I'm just crazy haha.

I think that taking atest would be the best idea as like you say if you are totally fine about waiting and pregnancy is not in your head then why would you be imagining your symptoms. There is however a chance that it could be because deep down you are hoping it still happens. Good luck anyhow x
