Plus, I haven't missed a period yet (I'm supposed to get it next Tues/Wed). But I'm kind of nervous about these symptoms. Other than pregancy, what else can they be? I've been really tired lately. More than normal and I've been feeling nauseous, but I'm not throwing up. I'm also peeing lately. But I have been drinking more, so it could just be because of the fluids. And before you ask, yes I did buy an EPT test, but I don't think that I can take it yet, because I'm not supposed to get my period for like another week

Your symptoms could be the result of a lot of things.

Everyone deals with stress differently and I know I deal with it by going to sleep. It can go hand in hand w/depression. Also some days, there are times when I cannot stop peeing, other days I may be twice a day. That's w/o drinking water.

Before you take an over the counter for it though, I'd get a blood test from the doctor. ASO Standard is cytopic to the (potential) fetus and if you're preggo, you could miscarry or harm it. Best to be safe and get tested. speaks the voice of personal experience

Even if you've been on your current pill for some time, it is not unusual for you to begin to experience adverse symptoms. The pill can be making you tired and sick to your stomach. You may have to change it. Or, your body can simply be fighting a low grade virus/cold. Or, there may be no medical reason other than you are just tired and your tummy is upset. That happens too I think a GP would ask you, "How long have you experienced these symptoms?" If it's been a week or two, don't worry. If it's been over a month, then perhaps you should check with your GP.

I get all that except nausea. But as far as I know nausea can be a symptom. Could you be diabetic? (Runs in family, overweight, high BP or cholesterol...)

I think you're just stressed out and thats making you tired/naseous. As for peeing more, you said you're drinking more fluids so that makes sense. For peace of mind, you can take the EPT up to 5 days before your missed period but the accuracy of the test is about 40 percent.

It's probably not pregnancy. At least that is my experience.

I do have a family history of type 2 but my doctor thinks I'm type 1. There's no family history of type 1 that I know of and that's the one that seems to deal more with family history and type 2 seems to deal more with lifestyle. Anyway...it's probably pretty unlikely but when/if you go to the doctor it wouldn't hurt to ask them to do a blood sugar level on you.

I'm prone to UTIs but I rarely have the classic symptoms of them. If I didn't know I was prone and know of other symptoms for UTIs I'd probably never know I had one.
