I've been on a perfect menstration schedule since I was twelve years old. Around the 20th of every month, I start. I end about five days later. My period was on schedule for October (Started on the 24th, ended on Halloween). However, I've had nothing since. I felt light cramping about two weeks ago (Which is my body's preferred way of letting me know to stock up on tampons) and had slightly cloudy mucus-like discharge, but surprisingly, no bleeding followed.
I don't have any other symptoms, but I still wonder if I might be pregnant.

Well, I guess I'm not. My period came yesterday. I'm actually kind of sad...

1. Missing the monthly period.
This is a classic pregnancy symptom; especially if a woman's monthly cycle is as precise as the Big Ben. If a woman misses a period, it is probably time to take a home pregnancy test. However, if the woman's menstruation is not very regular, she should wait for a couple of days before taking a pregnancy test.
2. Soreness of breasts.
During pregnancy, breasts tend to be very sensitive. This is accompanied also by the darkening of the areolas or the concentric circle surrounding the nipples. A woman may also feel that her bra doesn't fit her as comfortably as before. This is natural because the breasts tend to increase in size when pregnancy sets in. For some, breast sensitivity is a very uncomfortable ordeal to live with during pregnancy. Fortunately, this wears off come the second trimester. For others, breast sensitivity can be a plus since this translates to heightened pleasure during intimate moments.
3. Morning Sickness.
Pregnant women usually deal with unsettled stomachs each morning during the first weeks of pregnancy. They may also sustain vomiting and feel weakness of the body. Contrary to popular belief, and to the suggestion the name implies, "morning" sickness does not only occur in the morning. Some women come down with nausea in the afternoon or in the evening. Other expectant mothers feel sick the whole day. This is maybe a side-effect due to the increase in the estrogen levels in a woman's body due to the pregnancy.
4. Unusual eating habits.
Women who are in the early stages of pregnancy sometimes crave for food they have never before or rarely eaten. It is also natural for them to be greedy. Some women may at times crave for unusual food, at the same time some women may hate the kind of food which used to be one of their favorites.
5. Spotting and discharge.
In the early stages of pregnancy, mucus begins to accumulate around the opening of the cervix to form the mucus plug, a barrier which serves as protection for the developing baby. Around the time of the implantation, or the time when the embryo has implanted itself on the uterine lining, pregnant women may notice a bit of spotting. Spotting due to pregnancy is light in volume and pinkish in color, as opposed to the deep red color associated with regular menstruation. It is important to emphasize though that discharge during pregnancy should not be accompanied by other distinctive signs of infection such as itchiness, burning sensation and foul odor.
Aside from these symptoms, a pregnant woman may also experience several other complaints such as fatigue, constipation, increase in basal body temperature even after her period is due, frequent urge to urinate and heartburn. Other unusual symptoms that an expectant mother may experience include enhanced sense of smell, weepiness and complexion problems also known as "breaking out". If a woman is experiencing one or more of these symptoms but still is unsure, a convenient home pregnancy test will easily confirm if she can expect a baby in the near future.

So you missed your period for November and now it's getting around the time you would've had it for December? It's a possibility. You should get an at-home pregnancy test to be sure. Even if it turns out negative, you should go see a doctor. It could be wrong. I know a friend of mine who took 6 pregnancy tests over a 6 week period and ALL turned out negative. I was with her for each one...and she didn't have sex in that time period so she was either already pregnant...or not. Well, then she took a 7th and it was positive...as was the 8th. So she went to the doctor and sure enough....10 weeks along!
Definitely go to a doctor either way b/c something is off.
Good luck!

There is a strong possibility if you have been trying to get pregnant. But you Mens. Per. could also be just starting at a different time because of your exercise pattern. The only way to be sure is to wait and take a pregnancy test.

Most women don't have any symptoms early on. The thing most women want to look for is a missed period. Certainly since yours seems to be normal every month.... I would take a pregnancy test to make sure.

Its possible so the best thing to do would be to get tested and consult a doctor as soon as possible for the safety of the little angel that might be inside you.

Is there a chance that you could be pregnant????
Take a home pregnancy test! It won't hurt!
And if you can't afford it, your doctors can do a pregnancy test on you, or you can go to planned parenthood, they can give you a test for free.
