Okay, maybe I'm just too paranoid, but I have been experiencing so weird changes lately. I swear I think I"m pregnant sometimes, but I've taken 2 tests and the both came back negative. I have one baby, so I kind of know the pregnancy symptoms. I'm stopped breastfeeding in January and I have the Mirena IUD, so I still haven't had a period. Anyway, let me tell you what's going on and you ladies tell me what you think. Thanks!

Okay, we moved to a new city about 6 months ago and I was getting sick back to back. I'm pretty positive that was because of stress. I've also been diagnosed before with generalized anxiety disorder, but I don't have it bad enough to need meds. I just use cognitive skills I've learned and most of the time it's under control. Other than that I'm pretty healthy. So here about a month ago I started noticing that I'm getting this super woman sense of smell and everything is making me nauseous. I swear I walked into a Wal-mart and could smell perfume from 3 aisles down. It was so bad I had to rush to get what I needed so I could get out. Also I have this crazy pizza craving. For about a month all I have wanted to eat is pepperoni pizza and an order of bread sticks. I have this for dinner at least once a week. I'm sure it's great for my waist line, but it's all I want! Also, I've had really bad chocolate cravings. I'm talking crackhead-esq cravings. I actually dragged my dh to the grocery store so I could buy the Betty Crocker fudge brownie mix at midnight! Then I ended up being too tired to make it when I got home. And that's another thing. I'm so tired in the middle of the day that I usually fall asleep rocking my baby to sleep. I've also been having to get up to pee at least once a night, which I guess isn't too weird, but I never had to do that before. Also, my anxiety attacks have come back. I have had them pretty much under control since my baby was about 2 months old (he's 16 months now). I had attacks while I was pregnant and right after he was born, but I know they were due to my fear of this life changing event. Well, now they're back. I'm talking maybe 1 a day, where I used to have maybe 1 every few months. Even with the big move I didn't freak out. So is it just me or does this sound like pregnancy?! My IUD is supposed to be 99.9 % effective and both pregnancy tests have been negative. I'm going to the dr. next week because we are going to start trying for baby #2 soon. I'm 24, so I know it's not the big change. What could it be? Any ideas?
