Hello ladies,

I have a few questions but first I’d like to explain “where I’m at”. I think I ovulated on day 10 of my cycle did baby dance that night. Then on the 13 -16 days of my cycle I had A LOT of egg white mucus. Then about the 20 cycle day I began to have nausea, lower back aches and I don’t want to call them cramps as it was more like odd pinching or stretching feelings. I was also an illogical emotional mess for about 3 days. I have been peeing like crazy. Two nights ago I woke up freezing and had to find another blanket (something that never happens to me). Today I am crampy again, feel like crying and have chills. This afternoon my CM was kind of creamy again. My bbs went from sore and tender to this odd feeling of tingling and though my nipples aren’t erect they feel like they are hard (maybe from the chills?) My nausea is getting worse in the afternoon. I am also so tired, have been all week. I tested on day 23 of my cycle and got a BFN.

So I guess my question(s) is does this sound like a pregnancy or PMS?

What is the difference between PMS and pregnancy symptoms?

Hi Trickyone.... it's really hard to tell the difference between pms and pg symptoms sometimes. From what I've read they can be soooo similar. But what you're describing could definitely be pg symptoms (or PMS). I know,

Yes, it is driving me nuts. I go to the internet and it describes PMS symtoms...all of which I have but then I go to the pregnacy symptom page and again...all the symptoms that I have.

I have been trying to conceive for the last 3 years with no luck. I'm beginning to think maybe I'm too old (36) I heard it is harder to conceive after hitting 30, even harder after 35.

Hmm, I've heard that too...but on the flip side, I also know alot of women who are starting their familys now (at age 30+). Have you gone to the Pregnant After 35 message board? http://messageboards.ivillage.com/iv-ppafter30


I'm totally now trying to pawn you off! ;) I promise...but I bet you could get alot of great info from the ladies over there.
