In need of a little advice.
Hey there everyone, I'm here in need of a little pregnancy wisdom...
I'm 22 years old, only recently became sexually active in a committed, monogamous relationship. My periods have always been slightly irregular. I'm currently one week late on my period, which normally wouldn't faze me, but I've noticed several other things slightly raised basal body temperature, cravings, sudden nausea in the afternoon, aversion to specific foods, cramps and bloating, lower back pain, fatigue and increased nipple sensitivity.
I don't want to assume too soon that I could be pregnant, being that my period's lateness isn't out of the ordinary. But with all these other things going on, I'm not sure if I'm simply being paranoid, or if I should seriously consider taking a pregnancy test.
Advice?

If you think there is a chance you may be pregnant take a test. We can't tell you if you are pregnant based on symptoms.
You mentioned taking your temp, do you chart? How many DPO are you?

PAIF/SAIF Welcome!
Are you using any form of birth control?
POAS
Yup.
If he's repeatedly putting an uncovered penis into your unprotected vagina and (especially)repeatedly ejaculating into your unprotected vagina, yes, there is a chance you can be pregnant.
This is not rocket science, either wrap it up or start setting aside money for diapers. Either way, peeing on a pregnancy test is going to be way more reliable than telling internet strangers ANYTHING about your nipples.
He's the single greatest thing I've done in my life and reminds me daily of how fun (and funny) life can be. He's turned out pretty swell for having such a heartless and evil mother.
