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.

Woke up this morning at 4 am from cramps.  Took an hpt and it was positive!  Took another at 8am and got the same result.  Will confirm with the doctor soon, but this is exciting. I just hope the cramping doesn't last very long into the pregnancy:p

Yes, you sound Pregnant! I'd actually be surprised if you weren't. If you know the first day of your last period, check out this site http://***.*******.***/fertility-ovulation-calendar-calculator and it will give you a detailed calendar based on your LMP and how many days in between cycles (usually 28 days).
