Freaking O
Okay, first of all PLEASE don't tell me to "ask a doctor". I already a doing that, but want to know what others think first.
I'm engaged, and think I may be pregnant, which would be a major problem, because we're only 20 and in college. My periods are VERY, VERY IRREGULAR, and happen around every other month, to once every 3 months, and sometimes come even more few and far between. My last period was in Sept. or Oct. and recently my breasts have grown 2 sizes (from an awkward 34D to a very large 38D), I've been craving foods I never eat (I'm a vegetarian and was craving tacos a few weeks ago), I sleep a lot more, I have pains like I'm cramping but I'm not in my sides and my back, I'm hungry more often, and lately I've started this playing with my belly button thing that my mom does, and I've NEVER done. I also have tummy aches all the time now, and have gained weight, but not anywhere near enough to think Im pregnant. The last home pregnancy test I took came back negative. Thoughts?
I also am constipated, have sore breasts and nipples, have an increased sex drive, have frequent urination, and even cry for food, so thank you to the second and third answers, I'm pretty positive about this now.

These sites have good info. Here are some common symptoms:
Signs of Pregnancy
1. Tender breasts/nipples: If you are pregnant you will notice that your breasts and nipples become tender around three weeks after conception (when your period is about one week late). They may also feel swollen -- similar to the way they feel when you expect your period.
2. Slight spotting or cramping: If you are pregnant, light pink spotting can occur at the time of implantation -- when the embryo attaches to the lining of the uterus. This happens around eight to ten days following ovulation, a bit earlier than your menstrual period is due. You can usually differentiate implantation bleeding from your menstrual period if it occurs a bit earlier than expected, if it is scanty, spotty, pinkish (and not red and heavy like a period), and does not follow the normal pattern of a period (light, progressing to heavy and then again to light). Cramping can also be common in early pregnancy. Until the uterus assumes its mid-position and becomes better supported by the bony pelvis in the second trimester, it is prone to menstrual-like cramping. Contractions of the uterus occur regularly, increasing with exercise, orgasm and even simple changes in position.
3. Darkening areolas: In very early pregnancy -- around the time of your expected period -- you may notice that your areola (the darker area that rings the nipple) begin to darken and increase in diameter. It is believed that the darker color of the areola helps the newborn to find the nipple for breastfeeding. You may also notice that the veins in your breasts become more visible and that Montgomery's tubercles, the tiny "bumps" that are scattered around the areola, enlarge and may increase in number, averaging between 4 and 28 per areola.
4. Extreme fatigue: If you are pregnant, a very common symptom in the first eight to ten weeks is exhaustion. When you are pregnant, your body is going through significant metabolic changes. Your entire body needs to adjust to the new process of growing a baby. For most women, the fatigue starts to go away by the 12th week of pregnancy.
5. Nausea and vomiting: If you are pregnant you may find quite early on -- as early as a week after conception -- that you are experiencing morning sickness. And you may also find that morning sickness is a misnomer. Nausea can occur anytime -- day or night.
6. Frequent urination: By the time your period is one to two weeks late you may find that you are peeing more frequently than usual. This is because the baby growing in your uterus is putting pressure on your bladder.
7. Constipation: You may notice a change in your bowels in early pregnancy. The extra hormones produced during pregnancy cause the intestines to relax and become less efficient.

i am about 4 weeks 5 days pregnant and i don't have any pregnancy sign. i did two tests and both were positive but i don't have any sign of being pregnant. i have been pregnant twice before and didn't had a lot of symptoms too.
. with my first i had frequent urination, more hungry and more tired, but ended in a miscarriage at 11 weeks, i had blighted ovum.
with my second i had frequent urination, more hungry, more tired, constipated , food aversion for chicken and food cravings for pasta. but i miscarried that pregnancy too at 22 weeks and lost a baby girl.
the only things i have is that i crave for chocolate and a little tired, and wake i wake up i feel hungry.
is this normal. i also had some brown discharge on tuesday
Answer
There aren't usually enough pregnancy hormones to cause you symptoms (like morning sickness etc) until about 7 or 8 weeks. Also, a brown discharge is nothing to be worried about. Spotting is quite common in the first trimester, you only need to be concerned if the blood is bright red or there is a lot of it.
Give it a couple of weeks and you will probably notice a couple more obvious symptoms (like exhaustion!)
Congratulations!
