ok tests are negative,
so it has made me wonder why i was feeling the wayi was, acting the way i was. I have done some research and turns out my mother suffers from PMDD..

PMDD, or premenstrual dysphoric disorder, is the most severe form of PMS, or premenstrual syndrome. The diagnostic criteria for PMDD are included in the American Pyschiatric Association's DSM-IV, 4th Edition, published in 1994. In addition to the physical and emotional symptoms required for diagnosis of PMS, at least one of the following criteria must occur during the late-luteal phase of the menstrual cycle.
Answer:
* Feeling sad, hopeless, or suicidal
* Severe feelings of stress, tension, or anxiety or having panic attacks
* Mood swings that include bouts of crying
* Constant irritability or anger that affects other people
* Loss of interest in usual daily activities and relationships
* Inability to concentrate or focus
* Fatigue or loss of normal energy
* Food cravings or bingeing

And around my moms time of the mouth, she constantly sleeps , has HOOOOOOOOOOOORRIBLE anger issues and is totally diffrent person. i have realized that these symptoms are also symptoms of pregnant and seeing in why i got confused! Talking to my sister seeing she also suffers from many of these symptoms. After talking about...the mean red week with her, i realized we are almost exactly the same.

im not making any conclusions, but im calling my obgyn tomarrow and getting an apt.
does anyone else suffer from PMDD..if so i would LOVE to talk

Hmm, just sounds like normal PMS to me, i get most of those symptoms every month before i'm due, with the exception of feeling suicidal. I thought the main reason you were certain you were pregnant was because your period was late and you were feeling nauseous and having cramps? None of those would indicate PMS to me, the cramps come a few hours before the bleeding sometimes, but not weeks before and i've never experienced nausea with PMS. You sure something else isn't going on? I know some people experience more severe PMS symptoms than others, but i'd be inclined to invesitgate your physical symptoms a little more if i was you, if you're still having them and your period hasn't arrived yet.

I do think its good you get to an OB/GYN if these things are concerning you. PMDD is a real condition and if you feel you are falling into the diagnostic criteria, it never hurts to mention it and seek the correct help/diagnosis from your OB/GYN or (also likely) a psychiatrist, to help you deal with the symptoms.

I do not suffer from this, but did study it as an undergrad for my BA in psychology and recognized it as soon as you gave the acronym.

Best of luck to you in figuring out what's going on. I know that's half the battle. Please do keep us posted.
