It's known as either "The Pregnancy Possibility" or the "The Pregnancy Scare," and whether you're filled with hope, dread, or ambivalence , it means combing your body for clues, feverishly counting and calculating days on your fingers and calendars, and running to the bathroom every five minutes to check.

Late period? Stress or normal irregularity.
Swollen breasts and belly? Premenstrual syndrome.
Nausea? Stomach flu or food poisoning.
Intense hunger? PMS or… intense hunger.
