So confused with my symptoms....(m)

by our calculations, i could very well be pg, but now i'm not sure. AF isn't due until saturday, so i know i can't accurately test right now. i'm going insane, though. i've had a little lower back pain and some gas, as well as swollen bb's. i haven't had the usual bloating i get with pms or the need to feed like i normally do. however, tonight i am very hungry and feel like i could eat and eat. maybe i'm not pg. can you have pms symptoms if you're pg? i have twinge cramping, but it's so infrequent, i don't think it's much of anything. if i conceived on 10/11, when would i feel implantation cramps?

when is the earliest i can test? argh....waiting is the worst. with my first two, we weren't really ttc, so i didn't pay attention to all this stuff. any suggestions?

tia!!!

Hey Dani

I am actually having the same symptoms you are and I am not expecting my AP until this Sunday. This is the first attempt to get Pregnant by my husband and I and we are on the edge of our seats waiting. We are so confused because I have some early period symptoms but at the same time I am also having some early pregnancy symptoms. There is a pregnancy test you can take 5 days before your missed period, which is First Response Prenancy Test. Please let me know your outcome! Good luck!!

I am having pregnancy symptoms also, and still am not sure if i am or not. I took 2 of the First Response Early PT's and both came back negative, but still no AF.

Hi.

I tested on a Sunday night when my period was due that Saturday and got a negative, then I tested that same Monday morning and got a *very* faint line, but it was there. And it turned out, I was pregnant.

You can test early if you buy the right test. But it might be better to wait until you can get a clear line and know for SURE. Otherwise you'll do what I did and take a test every night ;) and every morning ;).

Good luck,

Rachel

When are you supposed to get your AF?

What kind of symptoms did you have before testing? Did you ever feel like you were going to get your AF? I think the biggest issue is I have had some period like sypmtoms but at the same time I also feel like I am having early pregnancy symptoms.

I am in the same boat as many of you. This is my first attempt at getting pregnant. I wonder sometimes if I am creating my symptoms or if they are real. I had some cramping on Saturday and light spotting on Monday night. My AF is not due until Sunday and I'm feeling a little anxious. My bb's are sore but not as bad as some women are discribing and my nipples have been tingling. I am constipated and get some gas after I eat certain foods. My CM has been creamy and it is usually rather dry before my AF.

Good luck to you....let me know how it goes...:)

Alot of us are in this boat (see "testing on 10/23?" entry) My AF is due Fri (I think) but I bled a bit yesterday & today and am wondering if I'm early b/c my ovulation pains were 3 days early as well. My bbs hurt 2 DPO though which had me thinking I was....I am going to wait & see how this goes and if I get cramps / more bleeding this week. I will test Fri/Sat/Sun. I hope I am! I hate the waiting!

I am also in the same boat here. My period isn't due until Monday the 27th but I have been feeling fatigued the last few days, mild cramping and just feeling generally strange (I know, that doesn't help much) No breast soreness or nausea but I never got those until well into the second month with my other pregnancy. I am just hoping that I am and this is not just wishful thinking. They have those new tests now that you can test 5 days early...does anyone know how accurate they are? Because if they are I take it Thursday....
