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.
You and I are on the same page. My AF is due on today I am very anxious to take the pt but i am going 2 wait. I had a dream that I took a pt and it was + and my hubby & I were sharing the news to others. I have been a little sick at times but I am very tired. I have little cramping and I keep checking to see if AF is coming. I had a miscarriage 2 yrs ago & I am nervous and excited to see what happens. I will keep u all posted...i plan to to take pt this sat.
Hi ladies! I'm 32 and my husband and I are going for baby #3. We had little trouble getting pregnant with our first one and no trouble getting pregnant with our second, but we have been trying for a third for nearly a year and have had no luck!
I've been feeling different feelings lately and am wondering if I'm FINALLY pregnant. First of all, I've been pretty irritable and emotional for the last couple of weeks, prone to being seriously overdramatic. I've also been having really random yet very vivid dreams. This is very unusual because I typically don't even remember my dreams, but I remember these perfectly because they seemed so real. Furthermore, I've been having random bouts of slight nausea in the afternoons and evenings and right when the yucky stomach feelings hit, extreme fatigue hits as well. I just have to lay down and let it pass. After laying down for about an hour, the fatigue is gone and I get up and go about my day. It's really weird. I also have a dull paining my lower back but that is pretty typical for my PMS symptoms but not the extreme fatigue, slight nausea, and vivid dreams. My AF is due to start on Tuesday (today is Sunday). I wanted to know what is going on with me so I took a HPT yesterday and it was negative. After I took it I was immediately mad at myself for taking it. (Ever felt like that, ladies? I'm guessing so.) It was still 3 days before AF and it was mid-afternoon so even if I am pregnant it was likely to say negative. With my second baby, every HPT came back negative until a week after my missed period so it may be awhile before I know what's up. I'll try to keep everyone posted. I hope I really am pregnant...otherwise my irritability and tendency to overdramatize is just my personality. Bummer!
Thanks for letting me go on and on!
Blessings to you all!

I wish u the best of luck! I am 29 and not TTC...however I had unprotected sex within the same week of ovulating!!! My period isnt due until Sept.24....9 more days of waiting uggh!!! I have had soooo many symptoms and its hard to distinguish PMS from Pregnancy!!! My sore/tingly breasts and the sporadic cramping being the most bothersome! Oh yeah forgot the main one.....the fatigue.....but I also get these along with PMS as well so I am at a loss! Good luck to all!!!!!! :)
How many of you have had luck after your HSG test? My husband and I have been trying for 2 years , 6 of those months we quit because my husband ( 31 years old) was diagnosed with lymphoma cancer. They can't find anything wrong with me or him now and it has pretty much been declared unexplained infertility. I had the HSG 2 weeks ago and my husband and I TTC last week. My doctor says I am more fertile than I have ever been due to the fact of having the test and cleaning my tubes. Other than being a little nauseous, I don't really feel pregnant but my period should come this weekend . If not , I will be rejoicing. I take all the baby dust I can get. We have tried for so long.
hey Amy...im in the same boat as u...Thanks to u too for sharing ur story....we wre trying since a year for the baby...everymonth hoping for +ve results in HPT,that turns to -ve always...this month again hoping for the best...All the best for u
I think this is a great site...so much support and helpful advice. My husband and I have been TTC for 5 months (this is the 5th month). I'm on day 27 of my cycle. I'm not sure when to test. Obviously, you know how hard it is to wait. But here is what my cycle has been:
January - 34 days (this was unusual)
February - 31 days
March - 28 days
April - 26 days
May - 27 days
June - ????
When should I test? I want to today, but I'm afraid it's too early.
