Hi everyone. I am new to these boards so I don't what i'm doing 100% I think I might know some of the abbreviations ok probably only 2. Anyway I already have 3 kids and trying for number 4. You think I would know if i'm pregnant but still not sure. I have been trying for about 6 months. Every month I always have pms symptoms very sore breasts that start hurting at about a week to 10 days before AF I also get headaches and very moody. Well I am due for AF this friday night or Sat morning 9-13. Anyway I wanted to know can morning sickness happen before you get AF? I have read that AF is one of the first signs of pregnancy and that sore breast and morning sickness follows. I have been feeling very sick to my stomach for the last 5 days I get hungry but can't finish any meal without feeling sick. Also I have had no headaches or breast tenderness or very little tenderness

I'm wondering if the feeling sick is in my head but it's strange it lasted for so many days and also I don't have the pms symtoms I Have had every month for the last 6 months. Has anyone out there or know of anyone that has had morning sickness before AF let me know. Kathy

{by the looks of it I only knew 1 abbreviation!}

You know, that is one think I just don't get. If you go read some pages on early pregnancy they say that you get sore bb's when AF is due, and morning sickness and that will follow in the next few weeks....but everyone I have ever known gets it before AF most often, and that is how they predict that they may be pregnant. So its not in your head. Symptoms can start as soon as implantation occurs, and many swear they get it just 3-4 days after conception.( I am one of them that knew I was pregnant just days after I just felt it, and began getting sick and that )

I agree with you 100%. I am only about 5-7 days past ovulation and I feel like I'm PG. I have a gut feeling. . . and symptoms. It's funny you mentioned some women just know days after implantation because with my first pregnancy (that ended in Miscarriage at 5 weeks) I knew I was pregnant about 2-3 days after implantation and just kept denying it because I didn't a positive HPT until about 4.5 weeks.

Good luck ladies and God Bless
