My body, myself
So, several months ago I thought I might be pregnant. After 20 years of reliably timely and heavy periods — without even one other genuine scare — I was suddenly a week late. After a couple of days of panicky phone calls to my best gals and Googling "early pregnancy symptoms" while trying to determine whether I was experiencing "implantation cramps," I finally made an appointment at a women's health clinic to get a blood test and put an end to all of the highly stressful guesswork.
