I've been having a lot of "female" problems lately, and don't really have any female friends or family members to turn to so I'm hoping some of you can offer me some advice.
My first thought is that I could be pregnant. I've thought that before, and turned out to not be so I don't want to overreact about that again.
I've got a notebook and I've been keeping track of all of my symptoms and dates that they start (when I remember!) in hopes that I can find a pattern or something. I apologize in advance if this is too long or is too much info.
11/9 - First day of my last period. It came about 2 days earlier than normal.
11/21 - I was really hungry, more than normal. I made myself a peanut butter sandwich for dinner. About five minutes after I ate, I felt like I was going to throw up. The nausea was so awful. I felt bad for about an hour and then hungry again. I ate a handful of oyster crackers and I was fine after that. I thought maybe I just didn't eat enough. But the nausea kept on, and every day since I have gone back and forth between extreme hunger and extreme nausea.
11/24 - Thanksgiving, John and I went to the store that morning and I felt really sick walking around the store. I had just eaten a doughnut before we left, so I didn't think it was hunger. Every single smell in the place made the nausea worse and I just couldn't wait to get out of there. By the time we got home, I was starving and we ate Thanksgiving dinner.
Around that day, I started having really bad discharge. It felt like I had gotten my period, but every time I went to the bathroom it was nothing but clearish discharge. I've never experienced that before and it's happened every day since then.
12/4 - I used the bathroom and there was a small amount of brownish discharge on the TP, and I had mild cramping like I was going to start my period. I expected to start, but nothing. All day the discharge was there at random, sometimes brownish and other times pinkish.... and other times there was nothing. That has kept up all day today as well. I keep expecting my period to start any second because of the way I feel and the discharge but there's nothing.
I've had a ton of other symptoms as well... bloating, awful fatigue, sore breasts, and really really bad forgetfullness. And John tells me I'm very "mood swingy" lately, which I'll admit that he is right. I'll feel happy one minute and sad the next for no reason. BUT, I think the mood swings could be stress related because of my almost constant worrying about what could be wrong with me. Oh, and it's not a symptom but I've noticed all of the cats have been extra affectionate towards me lately. I told John they're trying to tell me that something is wrong with me, but he doesn't believe me.
When I told John what's going on, he rubbed my belly and said "junior", and laughed. He did that several times over a few days. He's a brat. I told him he wouldn't find it quite so funny if it turned out to be true... and then he stopped saying it.
I don't want to take a test, at least not yet.. it's too soon anyway. Please tell me there's something else that could be wrong with me!
