Am I being paranoid here?

Hello, not sure if I am freaking myself out but I am wondering if I might be pregnant. I think I am pre menopausal as my periods have much shorter than they use to be and really light as opposed to very heavy. I was normally on up to 7 days with four days real heavy and having to double up sanitary towels, now I have a normal flow one day, light the next, nothing the next and I always get more spotting the 4th which is a bit weird. But this has been happening for the last year now. I also get very painful ovulation and real bad pmt.

My periods are bang on 29 days, this month the days leading up to my period I had not usual spots but bad pmt, sicky feeling and funny taste in mouth. When I am pregnant this normally does not happen until 6 weeks pregnant anyway. Period started as normal and its now finished, it was lighter than last month. But all the same it was still a period. But I am still feeling sick, hungry and so so tire.

Is this normal and do you get this sicky feelings with periods anyway, is it another pre menopausal symptom or could I actually be pregnant even though I had a period and would I feel these symptoms so early?

Its the tiredness thats freaking me out, I just want to send my children to bed at 6pm and tell them to deal with themselves. ;)
