Sally J., Your sypmtoms sound very good, but I would try to avoid the temptation to test. It's expensive and even if you got a negative at this point it wuoldn't necessarily be accurate. Wait until you are no more than 3 days from your expected period and get one of those super-sensitive tests like the First Response Early Result tests (make sure it says "early result"). It costs a bundle so only use it if you are that close to your period. Good luck!! And do follow up and let us know. Daphne
