Weight gain

I would think it could be fluid (water weight), my theory is if you haven't been feeling that great then chances are you aren't as active as you would normally be - which would more than likely make you sweat less but at the same time you're probly drinking more fluids than usual because you get more thirsty especially if you run a fever occationally, and if you're like me you probly crave more salty foods. That's a good combination to cause your body to "soak" up more fluid weight, especially if you're not that sick that it is really putting you out of commission (if you understand what I'm trying to say) and causing your immune sytem and metabolism to really kick into high gear - which would cause the weight lost you're talking about that you're used to, but rather you just feel groggy and are funtioning a little slower but still able to keep up with the majority of your regular daily activities. That's my 2 cents anyway.

Hehehehe. Sorry, that phrase makes me giggle a little bit. I picture two people bumping into each other like when two people crash their grocery carts together at the store and then say "oh, pardon me! Are you okay? Are you pregnant now? I didn't crack your eggs, did I?"

Don't mind me, I'm just in a silly mood <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

I thought "pregnant on accident" was funny, too!!

Though the doctor asking "How did you get pregnant", would be funnier!!!

Though, I remember living in a little city where all these women I knew were getting pregnant (not by me, I was still dateless, then!), and someone said "It must be in the water!" (hehe!)

Strange, the guys NEVER get pregnant on Accident!!

One thought that comes to mind, is whether noticing if any areas of your body seems to be different, like around the middle, the thighs or such. No tight clothes that seemed to feel looser a month ago? No water retention problems?

As for stress, that being a possible factor would include such stressfull things as recently being married, changing jobs, major money issues, going through divorce, or having a jerk-of-a-boss to work for...I was exposed to all of them, some were layered on top of the other...my weight had fluxuated tremendously from that (my hair started thinning, too!!).

It's rare, but there are a number of cases of pregnancy WHILE still having a normal cycle. Not sure why, or even how that really works, but there are cases (we just had one in my clinic last week, Just found out she's pregnant 2 weeks ago, we sent her off for an ultrasound, baby is measuring 6 months, NORMAL periods every month for the last 6+ months!!!)

second the thyroid as well.
