TIA- in the last month I've gained 5lbs (not normal for me at all), I've been craving peanut butter and chocolate (again not normal for me), and all I want to do is cry lately. I thought for sure I was pregnant but then I started my period... however I normally bleed pretty heavy the first few days but not this time... I started taking meds for ptsd at the beginning of February but none of the symptoms are side effects from what I've read... I don't know if I should go to the walk in clinic and have a blood test done or not. My pcp can't see me for almost a month. Any advice? My mother had a "normal" period the whole time she was pregnant with my youngest brother...

It is possible to have bleeding throughout pregnancy that can be mistaken for a period. If you feel that this wasn't a period than wait two weeks and try a pregnancy test using first morning urine.

But then the PTSD could be the cause for weight gain and crying. New medication cause issues with foods.

But yes wait about two weeks and do pregancy test
