If you ask my husband he will tell you yes being irritable is a sure sign of pregnancy. These all are signs that you could be pregnant, but not that you are for sure they could be a number of things. I personally knew I was pregnant both times because I was so tired and I was an emotional basketcase. Someone could tell me I looked nice today and I would find a way to turn it into a personal insult and would end up yelling and then crying.
But I have been known to do that when my period was coming early too. :) I would take a pregnancy test if I were you, assuming that you are due for your period soon. But who knows I found out I was pregnant with my first almost two weeks before my next period was due. Good luck either way.

Definitely. I fell pregnant at 44 after having 2 kids many years before. The tell tale signs were really sore boobs firstly, but I had no patience and got irritable with my family all the time. Congratulations I think

Hi Beki,
One of the earliest pregnancy signs for some women may be fatigue and exhaustion. You may start going to bed sooner, or find it harder than usual to get out of bed in the morning. If you are working, by noon you may feel like you need to lie down. Exercising seems like too much effort. A simple activity like shopping may leave you feeling wiped out and lightheaded. This early pregnancy symptom is caused by all of the changes that your body is going through, plus the increasing levels of hormones.
If you know you are pregnant, try to take frequent rests or naps of 15 minutes to a half-hour whenever possible. Explain to your family, friends and coworkers that you need these naps. Ask for their help in blocking out rest times for you.
With all of these symptoms of pregnancy to deal with, along with raging hormones, is it any wonder you may experience some mood swings and irritability? There is also the emotional adjustment period to your new responsibility. Your world has changed. Even when your pregnancy is carefully planned, it is normal for your mind to suddenly be filled with questions about the timing, your career, finances, insurance, labor and delivery, motherhood, even the future costs of college.
It is perfectly normal to feel mixed emotions, excitement and depression, joy and sorrow, laughter and tears. Your partner may be very confused by this and may not seem to be supportive. Explain that your mood swings are very normal signs of pregnancy and that you need support and understanding.
You are the one doing all the hard work here and it is not asking too much for your partner to be patient, loving and to have plenty of hugs and kind words of support ready when you need them. Most fathers-to-be want very much to be supportive, they just need instructions. No one has ever told them anything about pregnancy symptoms. It is all a mystery to them.
A tip is for you to write down a pregnancy checklist with all yours feelings: you will feel better and also your partner can read it too.
This early symptom of pregnancy may decrease in the second trimester. Meanwhile get plenty of sleep, eat right, take your prenatal vitamins and get some moderate exercise by taking short walks.
Cheers,

definitely... but they are also symptoms of pms.
wait until 10-15 days after the last time you had unprotected sex, and then take a pregnancy test.
good luck!
