I am a week away from aunt flow supposing to start, I have been feeling so so so tired like today I can barely keep my eyes open, my sleep patterns haven't changed at all. I have been having crazy dreams lately. My boobs are a tad bit sore like they are more achy, and I am having mild to light cramps in my lower tummy. I am starting to get hungry more often like last night at 2am I wanted something to eat my tummy felt like I was starving. I used to love chicken and rice could eat it at anytime and I made it last night for dinner and couldn't eat it because it tasted funny to me. I do have an increase in cm, and my cervix is still really high and also very soft almost blending in with the other parts up there, it is slightly open but barely. Could this be early pregnancy symptoms or could this mean my body is about to surge again.

Also I have been feeling very thirsty lately and even when I drink something I don't feel like it quenched my thirst. So I don't know what that means. And it is way to early to test seeing as I still have a week until I am due for my period

Too hard to tell at this point it could very well be way too early to tell so Your best bet is to wait until the day your period is due and then take a test, don't be fooled by those tests that declare they can accurately show a positive up to five days before missed period, if you look at the instructions they tell you that the percentage of women who get an accurate reading 5 days before their missed period is about a 69% chance and then a 73 % chance at 4 days before hand and then for the 3rd and 2nd days before your missed period it is an 83% chance and then the day before and the day of your missed period I believe is a 94 or 95% chance. So if I were you just to be on the safe side wait until you have actually missed your period and then take a test that way you don't waste money on possibly getting a false negative. Best of luck to you and try not to think about it, but if those tests come up negative and you are about a week or more late then I would visit your doctor if I were you and request a blood test to be done. These are the two types of blood tests that are performed, some places do both and some do one or another
Qualitative Pregnancy Blood Test - This can only give a "yes" or "no" answer as to whether or not HCG is present. This test gives results similar to what urine based home pregnancy test kits do. <<---- this one is like a urine home pregnancy test but with blood, meaning that if a certain amount of HCG is not detected then it will give you a negative result, but that doesn't always mean that you are not pregnant there is a good chance that you could not be producing enough of the pregnancy hormone to get a positive.
Quantitative Pregnancy Blood Test – This test can actually measure the exact amount of hCG in the woman's blood. This measurement can help give a rough estimate of the age of the fetus. It can also help determine if the pregnancy is progressing normally. The qualitative test, described above, is not able to provide this extra information. <<<--- this one is more accurate with the results, what it does is measures your HCG and Beta levels and if the levels are not high enough to register a positive but you still think you are pregnant then what the doctor will recommend you to do is come back in to their office in about a week or so and they will retest if the levels have gone up then you are pregnant, if they haven't then they have gone down, always request this type of blood test because it is more accurate in the results. Don't be fooled by people who tell you that blood tests are 100% accurate, or that blood doesn't lie you have to be firm in what you want and stand strongly behind the way you feel about this. BEST OF LUCK TO YOU, I HOPE THIS HELPED YOU OUT A BIT, AND TONS OF BABY DUST FOR YOU

I took the cheap wal mart brand test when I was a week away from my period and it showed up very well. You do have some signs but you can have every sign and not be pregnant and no signs and be pregnant so its hard to tell. They wal mart test is only like 4 or 5 dollars, so if it doesnt work your not out the 15 bucks the others cost.

You know your body, and if this is different for you, I would say it sounds like pregnancy symptoms. It is too early to test, but try to relax until your expected period is closer. Then, buy a pack with 2 tests. If its like a day after your period is supposed to come and the test is negative, you can relax, but if its positive youll want to take the second test as well to be sure. Good luck to you

It could mean anything. I would wait until my missed period before I bought a pregnancy test. The unquenchable thirst however is a sign of diabetes. I would make an appointment with Doc if it continues or if you have other signs.

Unfortunately, all you can do is wait. A blood test for HCG at your doctors office might work now. But I wouldn't bother doing a home pregnancy test until about 5 days after your period is due.

These are all signs of impending menstration. Wait till your period is late. Stop stressing because then of course they will be late. And when you are late by a test!

Hard to say considering they could just be signs of the AF coming. As you get older your body and cycle can change. You could be pregnant or just getting ready to start the cycle.

Go to Walgreens and spend the $9.00 for a test. It will tell you one way or another. Good Luck.
