TODAY AFTER HE GETS OFF WORK, WE'RE GOING TO WALMART AND GET A TEST. TODAY IS EXACTLY 2 WEEKS OF BEING LATE, MY BOOBS ARE SORE, TIRED LIKE CRAZY, MOODY, THE LITTLEST THINGS WILL DRIVE ME CRAZY, LOWER BACK ACHE, AND HEADACHES ON AND OFF. BUT URINATION IS STILL PRETTY NORMAL. BUT AT THE SAME TIME, A FEW MONTHS AGO, I WAS ALMOST 2 WEEKS LATE BUT EVENTUALLY STARTED MY PERIOD. WAS TIRED AND A LITTLE SORE BOOBS BUT MORE SYMPTOMS NOW. BUT I WAS LATE THEN APARENTLY CUZ OF STRESS. I GUESS WE'LL FIND OUT LATER TODAY. I'M AT A POINT NOW WHERE I NEED A FRIEND TO TALK TO CUZ I'M AFRAID OF MY FAMILY IF OR WHEN I TELL THEM IM PREGNANT. I MEAN SHOULD I JUST NOT TELL THEM OR SHOULD I TELL THEM LATER ON ... IDK. PLEASE HELP ME OUT HERE.

I took the test and found out I was pregnant a couple of days ago. The first clue for me was yelling at my mother like a crazy maniac then I knew something was up...I am craving Taco Bell and my back is killing me. I have nausea, sore boobs (do not even touch them!) and I get tired really easy. Oh do not forget the wonderfull cramping and of course the missed period...well I took a pregnancy test and found out excactly a month to the day of my last period! haha (the 27th) I was surprised the test showed up so soon..and it was one of those cheap store tests too but they say it does not really matter how much you spend on those things if you are pregnant it will let you know! 

Now it's been a few days and nausea is really setting in, and I just want tostadas and only toastas. Does anybody know why i could be craving mexican food so much? this happened in my last pregnancy too...ate lots of mexican food and lots of cereal...

Okay, I apologize in advance for a long post but here is whats going on... Me and my husband have been ttc for about 8 months now and my period is very very irregular in feb I went to the dr bc I had a terrible period for 7.5 weeks. My dr gave me a 10 day dose of provera. It was supposed to end my period and refresh my system and jump start a regular cycle. I got the period at the end of feb and beg of march then I ovulated about 2 weeks later I have not had another period since then not even signs that it's coming. I got a metallic taste in my mouth about 3 weeks ago and since then my symptoms have been through the roof. I'm tired, nauseous, can't eat anything spicy with out throwing uP, I have very light cramps that only last a few minutes at a time then go away have lower back pain, my boobs hurt so bad and seem quite a bit bigger even my husband noticed. I also recently started seeing dark veins that circle my Areola and now one that gos all the way to my nipple. They are also on the rest of my chest and stomach and arms. I know they have always been here but now so noticeable. I have takin 2 test a little over a week ago and they were negative I'm courteous what you guys think. Again I'm sorry any advise helps!!
