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.

I think what you are saying is right...I am going thru this every month and its devastating...etime when I have perids symptoms I want to believe its pregnancy symptoms..its crazy..

It's true, I have had four babies and the feeling is just different... I had kinda a nauseous feeling the first three months, that never left. And the fatigue was extreme compared to pms. However, my pms is steadily worse after each pregnancy...fun!! ;)

Hello all,
I have a question. I am about three-four days late for my period. Three days ago I had light spotting but a period did not come after. This has never happened to me before, if I begin to spot a period comes soon after!! I have light cramping, breast tenderness, and dirrhea which is not common for me at all. I am wondering if anyone else has experienced this? Also I took one pregnancy test and it came out negative. Could I be pregnant?

I am 21 years old and my husband and I have been married for 6 months now and we have never used protection. we didnt have sex till after we were married but I am pretty sure i had a miscarriage about the second month of us being married but now i am feeling nauseated a lot that always comes with mid back pain. I also have been super exhausted, i sleep for 10 hours a day and take naps and am still always tiered..... I keep getting pretty bad cramps in my mid and lower stomach and have had diarrhea for the past week and a half. I was due to start my period yesterday but i took prednisone before i thought I could be pregnant and one of the side effects is messed up periods.... i want to take a PT but I dont want to be dissapointed again. we want to have a baby so bad and all of my family has always been so fertile (except me i guess :( ) could i be pregnant or is this just side effects from prednisone?

Idk what to think.. I have been feeling so tired like I could sleep all day and it still wouldn't be enough sleep.. i usually have a normal ap. but i just don't feel like eating.. i have to see or smell something before i know if i want it.. i am sick to my stomach sometime, mostly after i wake up and at night.. my hubby says i am really touchy about everything.. he has always smacked when he chews but here lately i want to smack him when he does it.. :) lol and like i never noticed till like 2 days ago that he talks just way way to much.. i guess i am kind of moody.. I love my dude he is my bffl.. my head will be fine then out of no where i will get the worst headache i've ever had.. my sugar always feels low, and i pee a bit more than usual.. and i can't get enough to drink.. i have slight twingy cramps and bloating.. Is these things common in pregnancy, like the symptoms and stuff? I don't usually have these symptoms with my PMS.. I'm going to the doc tomorrow.. let me know any info helps..
