I'm kinda like you where my periods are a little irregular normally without birth control. It would come every 5 weeks or so, give or take a few days. Before I had my first baby (I'm now on my third) my breasts would be a little sore before I started my period, which is how I could tell it was coming. When I got pregnant with my first my breasts started to get sore and it just got worse and then my period didn't come within a week like I thought it would, which is what made me think I might be pregnant. That and I started losing weight, but my pants were tight (I know that sounds really weird, but it's true).

Worrying about it isn't going to help you out at all so just take a home pregnancy test and get it over with. Since you think that you're still a few days off from when your period is supposed to come I would do one of two things; either find a test that says it's accurate up to 5 days before your period or wait a week and then take the test, or you could do both to insure the best result. If you do get a positive result then I would schedule an appointment with your doctor as soon as you can. You did say that your last period was the beginning of August, though, and it's now the end of September, so I would guess if you are pregnant that you'd be around 6 weeks along right now.

Good luck and best wishes.

I think, after class tomorrow, I'm just going to pick up a pregnancy test and figure this out. Sitting here worrying and considering the 'oh my goodness now what' part is driving me crazy.

Thank you so very much, you've been exceptionally helpful.
Congratulations on your newest addition to your family, btw.

How did it go?

Wow, sorry this is such a late reply.
My week has been hellacious, and I was only able to pick up the tests today. I got the First Response ones, because I wasn't sure and I sure as hell wasn't going to pay $25+ for the other ones. (my walgreens robs me BLIND).

I'm either going to test tonight or in the morning. Possibly both. I read somewhere that testing first thing in the morning is the best time to do it, but the instructions say that it doesn't really matter... :/

It's positive.
I dunno what to do.

Go to your doctor to make sure.

Well, yes. I know that part.
