Is acne a symptom?

I have noticed that my forehead has really broken out lately. I haven't changed my diet and it normally isn't very acne-prone or oily. I didn't know if anyone has experienced this or knows if it could be a sign of pregnancy. Any info is appreciated. Thanks!

I have experienced the same thing. I'm still a couple weeks away from my period and zits keep appearing here and there and I'm not acne prone. I found this rather odd. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!

yes, I got acne for about the first month or two I was pregnant. And usually have a pretty clear face.

Thank you for replying. I hadn't heard of it before, but I noticed that it was something different. I'm glad that it could be a sign! :)

i got acne when i was newly pregnant with my daughter, and now i have been ttc(trying to conceive) for 8 months...with no luck...but i am starting to break out which isn't normal for me...so i am going to see if af is late and then test....but yes...acne was a symptom for me. My sister told me once that you either glow or get acne.
