Difference:pms and pregnancy symptoms
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.
I am 30 and my husband is 27. I have two children ages 13 and 11 and was on the depo shot for about ten years after the birth of my daughter. I have now been TTC since May 2010 with no luck and I'm wondering if my cycles are still irregular because of having been on the depo shot for so long. Although they have always been irregular, in fact before depo I would go months without AF. I did not have any AF during the ten years of depo.
My last six cycles have been (from latest to soonest) 37 days, 37 days, 34 days, 35 days, 34 days, and 32 days. My LMP was Nov 22 which puts me at 32 CD today.
I tested yesterday (BFN) but have very pronounced PMS signs (tender breasts, left abdominal cramps, dizzy spells, pronounced sense of smell, fatigue, nausea, and crabbiness) which isn't especially normal for me. This month is the first time I've used an OPK which showed positive on December 07. We had sex on December 4, 8,9,11, and 15 and am hoping for a BFP by Christmas since he doesnt have any biological children of his own and wants one very badly.
I too am frustrated with testing and getting repeated BFN but am unsure of when I may have ovulated since I don't have regular cycles. Am thinking about waiting to test again on Christmas morning for a nice present which would be CD 34. Not sure again if I'm late since I don't really have regular cylces.....
Baby dust to all and wish me luck. I'll keep you girls posted on my results.
Thanks!

Hi there! Have you tested again yet? I am in the exact same boat! I'm 14dpo, would really like to know before Christmas. :) I've been experiencing the very same symptoms plus breast tenderness and extreme unusual bloating. Some waves of nausea. I've tested but all neg. I haven't tried fmu yet though, self preservation, lol. Ive had short cycles 22 days since getting off iud in Aug, and I'm past 22 days, although I have shown to have an average of 24 days, since one month my period was 29 days late... just hate the wait! Let me know if AF starts or if you test again. Best of luck, sticky sticky baby dust to you!!!
im a 40 year old parent of a 19 year old daughr=ter and a 2 year old grandson all i know is i missed my period last month ive been having period cramps my back hurts i feel sick sometimes can some body please tell me wat to do confused
I'm having pregnancy symptoms I had somewhat af I'm so lost I've taken tests 1st was faint pos other been neg but supposedly I'm 5wks I'm confused
I am experiencing the exact same things that you are. We are ttc and according to my charts I am 13dpo... I have taken a test and it was negative. I just feel different...I never have gas or bloating like I have been. Not tired, no tender breasts... but for the last 2 nights I have been really tired but just toss and turn.. NO SLEEP! I just keep praying that maybe my dpos are off and the hcg is not showing itself yet. I really wanted to tell my hubby's parents that I was preggo for Christmas. I had a plan of how we were going to tell them. I am supposed to start tomorrow. No cramps like af is coming today.. just backache...weepy...hungry..twinges..dull cramps some days.. headaches... Baby Dust to all!
Hey Guys,
First off, you guys have a great community going here! I'm having some pregnancy anxiety. My last period was the 13th - 18th of November. I had unprotected sex from the 21th until abt a week following that. (BTW my bf was away on work so we just got a little over excited when he got back) my period is not due sometime around the 9-11th of December but i cant help but feeling pregnant. first i've been very bloated and gassy and have been urinating frequently. i'm very nauseous but i'm also wondering if that is due to the fact that i have the cold and my sinuses are draining. Also i've been getting a few sporadic cramps, mild. I normally have pms cramping but somehow it just feels different, dont know why. But in general i just feel pregnant! have'nt missed my period yet so i cant say for sure. oh and i've been very hungry lately and i maintain the same general diet i'm used to. Does anybody have any advice or have felt this way prior to getting a positive PT result?
