Hi,
If your period started around October 19th (doesn't matter how long it is, just the first day), and today is November 19th, then you are about on day 31 in your cycle. ("day 1" starts with the first day of bleeding). Are your cycles usually regular, and if so, how long are your cycles (most women's cycles range between 21-35 days).
Your period could still be on its way, but it is important to know when you were expecting your period. Only when your expected period has come-and-gone without an appearance is when you can use a home pregnancy test for accurate results.
The symptoms you are experiencing can be anything, as Diane mentioned. The first pregnancy sign this early is usually a missed period, as all other symtpoms are so slight or are so vague that they could be anything. For example, most of the symptoms you described could be hormone related, but is that hormone-related from upcoming period or early pregnancy? It may be too early to tell, and the only definite sign is a missed period and positive pregnancy test, unfortunately. Other symptoms are broad/vague as well, and could indicate any type of hormone-change or a flu, cold, digestive trouble, not-enough sleep, stress, anxiety...or a combination of all of these.
Are you trying to become pregnant? It sounds like you may be tracking your CM, and I'm wondering if you are also tracking your cycles (date of last menstrual period, or LMP, and how long your cycles usually are). You can read more about the changes in your cervical mucus, and what it means, at EmpowHer's Fertility and Menstrual Cycle page.
I guess the main question now is: how concerned are you about your symptoms?
- Are they severe and you feel there is no explanation for them?
- Or, are you super-focused on your symptoms in hopes of being pregnant?
