What are the signs of having a period?

Am I pregnant? What are the signs before a missed period? help?

• I just had sex with my boyfriend last week and we used a condom, but I know that is also 98% effective. I always expect my period to come in the early days of the month the first 10 days. This past Wednesday i spotted and I thought I was going to get my period that same day. it turned out that i didn'y and it has been three days since i spotted and today is the 7th. I have also experienced bad cramps and my breasts have hurt at times. This also happens before my period starts, but the spotting is what caught my attention and I think i might possibly be pregnant. Am I pregnant? or is the spotting just caused by stress?...All you mothers out there please tell me the signs and symptoms you had before your missed period. I really need to know. Thank you.

• Answer:

  Signs I had before both my pregnacys were, cramping like you would on your period, sore nipples and breasts, nauseous, and daily headaches. You could be pregnant, wait and see if you miss your period and take a test.
