Your period is late. Could you be pregnant?

For most women, a missed period is the first sign of pregnancy. But there are many reasons a period might come late or even skip a month, including dietary changes, intensive exercise, travel, and stress. And some women have periods so irregular that they can't predict when the next one will come.

If you're pregnant, it's also possible for you to think you've had your period when you didn't. When a newly fertilized egg attaches to the wall of the uterus, sometimes it prompts a little bleeding. This typically occurs a few days before the time you would expect your period to come if you weren't pregnant. If your periods are normally light, you might assume that this implantation bleeding is your period.

In other cases, wildly fluctuating hormone levels in the first week or two after conception may prompt some bleeding from the lining of the uterus similar to a period. And a few other conditions -- such as infections or uterine polyps (abnormal growths) -- can cause bleeding that may look like a period.

So, although a missed period is certainly your best clue to a possible pregnancy, it's not a definitive sign. Your suspicions may increase if you have other symptoms of early pregnancy, such as:

extreme fatigue

breast tenderness

nausea, with or without vomiting

constipation, gas, and/or bloating

abdominal cramps

frequent urination

food cravings or aversion

mood swing

increased vaginal discharge

Some pregnant women experience one or two of these symptoms. Some have many of them. And some have no symptoms at all. Symptoms may even be different from one pregnancy to another in the same woman. The presence or absence of such symptoms is no indication of the health of a pregnancy.

Obviously, many of these symptoms may occur for other reasons, or be confused with other ailments. For example, feelings of nausea or abdominal discomfort might occur with a gastrointestinal virus or food poisoning -- or pregnancy. Fatigue may mean depression, a cold or flu, anemia (low iron levels) -- or pregnancy. Frequent urination could be a sign of an urinary tract infection, diabetes, too much coffee -- or pregnancy.

By the time you add the stress of wondering whether you've conceived, either because you're hoping for a baby or because you're worried that your birth control failed, it can be hard to tell what's happening based on symptoms alone. The easiest way to be sure is to use a home pregnancy test.

from personal experience... i first noticed my breasts were VERY sore. not just a little swollen from PMS but so sore it hurt going down stairs or driving over train tracks.

Also my mood was like PMS times a thousand. my poor hubby had to deal with a really crabby wife.

my period was late. I was sure to wait 35 days after the day my last period started because most cycles are only about as long as 35 days before they start again. so be sure to wait a while ... like a week after your period was supposed to come

....
you may also feel tired
sick ( i never did though so you may not)
crave foods ( just like you do with PMS)

Depends on how late your period is! Sore breasts can be a sign, but also a sign of your period also.. Feeling sick.. Missed period of course..Take a test is the best way to know...

No period, feeling ill and a belly that won't stop getting bigger. Oh and cravings, terrible lovely cravings. Good luck.
