My body is confusing me at the moment. I appear to have put on a lot of weight very quickly. For example, I was wearing my favourite jeans last week, tried them on yesterday and had to do the jumping up and down dance to get into them. So I figured maybe it was because they'd been washed. So tried another two pairs of jeans and a skirt, with the same result. I figured that with my inability to exercise that I'd put on weight, but for clothes that were a comfortable (rather than tight) fit to suddenly be more than just tight. That's not normal right?
On top of that I am permanently dehydrated and not craving my usual favourite foods.
I've also got sore boobs (especially my nipples), which I normally only get on my period. As I'm currently on day 16 (I think*) this makes no sense.
*My last period was 16 days ago, the previous period was 3 weeks before. The one 16 days ago wasn't the same as my usual period. Lighter than usual (1 day, when it's usually 3) and darker, also accompanied by bad cramps (which I usually only get when ovulating, and never as bad as those cramps were). So I'm wondering if it's because of implantation.
But then I know that chances are I'm kidding myself. To test or not to test?
I'm going to test I think, if only to stop me getting my hopes up too high. The longer I leave this the worse I'll feel. Especially if the random timing is going to continue. I could end up being late rather than early next month, and don't want to test around Xmas/New Years (when next period is due) and get a negative. That would feel awful.
So wish me luck, I'm off to pee on a stick. Eventually I might manage to do so without making a mess
