Hi all,

I was due on my period yesterday and aside from some light brown discharge nothing really happened. When i got home from work i was so tired i fell asleep for two hours.

Then today i woke up feeling very sick but went to work anyway. Still only a small amount of brown, didn't even need a new tampon. An hour after being at work I had to come home again as i felt so spaced and nauseous and ive now slept for 4 hours this afternoon.

The few days prior to my due period my breasts have been so painful i couldn't even bare the shower on them. Their not quite so bad now, and i have no period pains which i normally suffer badly with. I am also feeling very very thirsty and feel like i need an ice cold drink.

I have a feeling i know what this means, but I do have a habit of reading too much into these things. Can anyone advise?

I should mention i am not on the pill anymore after coming off of it in May last year after being on it for 10 years.

Thank you

Is there any chance that you could be pregnant?
no point in me saying take a pregnancy test if youve not had sex for a year
Don't mean to sound rude but have you tried the obvious - taking a pregnancy test?
I think you should do a pregnancy test, just to be sure.

I havnt done a pregnancy test yet no as I havnt felt well enough to venture out to get one. I think i may see how i feel tomorrow and if i need to stay home from work again i shall try and get one.

Although im not on the pill i am still sexually active with my partner but we use a condom 99% of the time or the withdrawal method if were ever caught short.

Is this normal symptoms though for so early? I had my period as normal last month so it would only be very early days?
"the withdrawal method"

Oh dear.
I found from pretty much day one I had sore boobs, slight queasiness and a tiredness that felt almost "drugged". The symptoms wore off by twelve weeks.
Symtoms can come on at any time really or not at all. Take a test
I would say that you are pregnant.
you sound very sure Sqad...something to tell us ?
murray...;-)

Yes thats kind of how i feel "drugged". Just sitting and staring into space.

Something else i thought of too is that all my tastes have changed in the last couple of weeks. Im suddenly wanting to try and end up liking foods i've never eaten before in my life? Could that be linked?
can you ask you partner to pick up a test on way home, you can get them in most supermarkets now.
moonie.......get to the chemist...pronto....don't hold your breath......start knitting ?
Did you get any brown or pink discharge before your period was due?
Question Author
Hi tigger - no i dont recall anything?

Since getting up this morning to virtually nothing, i havnt used another tampon and now there's nothing when i go to the loo?

I think your right - may have to start knitting!

Thank you all by the way for your help :)

I think she knows and just wants some reassurance. Most women do just "know" in my experience.
Question Author
well to be honest helen, sex education at my high school was rubbish. we had one lesson of learning how to put a condom on a cucumber and that was it! Awful really! (not suggesting i now dont know anything as obviously you learn through personal experiences)

The only reason i wanted some advice really was because when you start reading other peoples posts online from all over the world it makes you panic more i think, and each case is always different :)
Red i think in this instance the poster is aware

"I have a feeling i know what this means, but I do have a habit of reading too much into these things. Can anyone advise?"

But i know the type of threads that you mean, the old "am i pregnant?" ones
