Difference:pms and pregnancy symptoms

[bani29]

Hi! My question is how can we differentiate pregnancy and pms symptoms?Every month i have symptoms like breast tenderness,tiredness,digestive problems,bloating and twinges in lower abdomen for about a week prior to my period.All of these symptoms resemble early pregnancy symptoms.Since i have been ttc,it becomes very difficult for me to understand during the two week wait.Kindly share your opinions.

Hi All

I started trying from June 2011 and concieved in November 2011. I have harmonel problem and get my periods after having duphaston. December i did not get my cycles nad i felt that i have concieved but my blood report of b-HCG was negative. Doctor gave me Ovural and i got mild bleeding on dec 8th which lasted for 13 days and result was miscaraige. After i went fo rmy b-HCG test my levels of BHCG was 1400 which was high and i found it was ecotopic pregnance. i waited for my first cysle and tried again for concieveing. I am not sure when i ovulated coz of irregular cycles, i would like to know whetehr mensuration and early pregnancy symptoms are same. My cycle date is March 28th due but from last 3 days i am feeling uneasiness as vomitted mild breast tenderness and bloated stomach.

Can anyone help me knowing can it be pregnancy symptoms or mensuration symptoms?

I'm not sure if I am pregnant or not. I technically should've had my oeriod by now but i started taking birthcontrol this month. I have been using birthcontrol for over a year but this month I started taking them late so I think my hormones would cause my period to be late. however i notice that I cry for really no reason and I feel a tight feeling in my lower pelvic region which I hadn't really felt that before, and I know its not cramps because it doesnt really hurt. could anyone tell me before I take a pregnancy test this weekend?

I'm 9 days late  and we have been trying for a baby the whole month... had sex most days when I'm ovulating practically we would have sex everyday or just skip a day and try again. My periods were due on the 15th but on that day I was experiencing cramps and back pain, I took a hpt but it was negative... I took one again 2days ago but it is stil neg, I have been having this cramps on both my ovaries, back pain, nausea sometimes and I start feeling agitated sometimes too... Even now I'm experiencing those cramps. Could I be pregnant or just my periods cramps...? Worried but I really hope and pray that I'm pregnant.

Hey Keke...af stands for aunt Flo, aka your period. You should be able to get pregnant immediately after iud removal, however, I would recommend that you wait until your cycles become more regular so you know when you should be ovulating. Good luck!

I was wondering how long it takes to get pregnant after having iud removed , had mine removed almost a week ago. And what does af stand for
