Still unknown

Ok, so I still haven't gotten that positive UPT and I am going to TRY not to take another for a couple weeks. I did, however, check my urine for any sign of infection or abnormality that would be a cause for any of my symptoms - nothing. Everything looks normal, no infection or proteinuria or abnormal glucose, nothing. I also checked my hemoglobin just in case anemia was to blame for the dizziness, nausea and tiredness. Nope. 12.8 is an excellent reading. So, let's look at the symptoms again...

1- tender breasts
2- slightly bloated
3- lower back pain
4- dizziness / faintess
5- tiredness
6- irritibility / moodiness
7- mild headaches
8- nausea - especially with certain smells
9- known foods don't always smell or taste right
10- increased appetite

Ok, so what are some of the causes?
We've already excluded anemia, but even anemia wouldn't explain #s 1,2,3,6,9 and only partially would explain #10.
Kidney/Bladder infection would explain some of the symptoms as well, but not all and we've learned that isn't the case anyhow.
PMS - This could absolutely explain most of this, if I didn't start feeling this way *before* I should ovulate and it doesn't explain the adversion to smells and foods.

Oh I simply do not know!! If I am NOT pregnant, then I need either a good Psychologist or Dr. House!

Well, we'll see. Until then, I will continue to watch medications, not smoke, not drink and try to eat better and rest when needed. If I am wrong, I am wrong, but at least I'll be doing the right thing if I'm right.

Hi-ho Hi-ho, it's back to work I go!
