Did you know that the symptoms for premenstrual syndrome or PMS and pregnancy are almost the same? Like many women, you might have mistaken the PMS symptoms for pregnancy signs, especially when conception is not planned. This has caused many to wait anxiously for up to a fortnight to find out whether or not conception took place because of the similarity in the symptoms for PMS or pregnancy. For this reason it is important to understand the difference between the symptoms. First and foremost, it can be extremely difficult for you to stay patient for two weeks, which is between
PMS or pregnancy – Difference Between PMS and Pregnancy Symptoms
Hey guys, Im over a month late, and usually my period has been on time. The only time when my period was acting up was in October 2015 but I was still spotting for the full 5 days. I’ve done 5 pregnancy tests 3 came back unclear and 2 came back negative. I have really some symptoma, a little nauseated sometimes after I eat, abdominal pains that are a little bit different than pms cramps. My boobs are sore but only if I poke at them. I’ve had unprotected sex once. I don’t know what to think. Am I pregnant? Is anyone else in the same situation as me? I’m not trying to get pregnant but if I was then I’d be very excited because I’ve always wanted a child. I don’t have any kids so I don’t know what to expect if I was ever pregnant. These past 2 weeks I’ve had cramps that have come and gone but when I get them they’re like sharp pains in my lower right abdominal. They definitely feel a little different from my normal pms cramps, but I just assumed that it is, yet my period hasn’t come. I’m just worried that if I am indeed pregnant what I should do because I wouldn’t wanna do something wrong and end up hurting it. I don’t even know if I’m making sense. There are so many emotions running through my head. Thanks for taking your time to read my comment 🙂
Ps: I’ve also been very tired lately.
Why don’t you see a doctor?
Hello, I’m spotting brown discharge instead of my period its not a whole lot but it’s not my period. Iv never had that happen before and also my period is never really regular. What could this be??
There could be many many reasons, I would talk to a doctor.
Hey,
Not sure if I’m pregnant or pms! I’ve been taking clomid 50mg for the last 3 monhs! And this time my breast hurt(but also they do with pms ) but they usually feel dense and this time they feel more liquids lol (if you get me) I felt dizzy this morning (but I could have just been hungry)
I have cramps here and there in my abdominal area and I guess I’ve been a little more tired than usual …my period isn’t due until the 27th of Feb and it’s only 18th Feb … not sure what to expect!
Please let me know your thoughts
Thanks
Hi Bbump, The best thing to do would be to take a pregnancy test now or just wait to see if you miss your period. Good Luck to you!

Hello,You can try taking folic acid before you get pregnant also there are fertility drugs you can take if you are not against them you will get pregnant sometimes it just takes a little time good luck 🙂
I haven’t had my period since December 31 and that was after 16 days straight of bleeding. After the eighth day, it was lighter but still consistent and I thought that was so weird bc I have never experienced that. Might also be bc of a Plan B pill I took earlier around December then in January I made the mistake of having to take the pill again right around the time I should have gotten my period and so now February, I skipped a month. I’m having all the pregnancy symptoms but I’ve take two tests and they resulted negative. I’m panicking and legit don’t know what to do. I have the cravings, the tiredness, the urge to pee a lot and the bloating is crazy. I don’t know what to think. But both times I took the pill within the 24 hours. So any advice/ help?
If you experience extensive bleeding you should always consult a doctor as there could be an underlying cause. Since the tests came back negative I dont think your pregnant, but your hormone levels could have been thrown off from taking the Plan B pill around your period. If your symptoms continue I would talk to a doctor to make sure nothing is wrong.
I would suggest going to the doctor and getting a blood test. The urine test are not accurate for everyone, the blood tsets are better. I couldn’t get a pee or blood test to work until I was almost 9 weeks pregnant with my daughter. So, you need to see a doctor.
I saw my period on 16 january after some days i had sex and now feeling some pain in my stomach, headache, back pain, frequent urination, is it a sign of pregnancy or my pms
Hi,Does it hurt when you pee? it would be too soon to have pregnancy symptoms,if this does not get better and seems to gets worse then you will need to go too your doctor to check this out.
I have been experiencing a frequent urge to pee but when I pee, it hurts so much. I once peed with blood but only once then all nexts are just some dirty urine. Is that part any of the two?
It may have a urinary tract infection that needs urgent treatment. You need to seek medical attention.
You REALLY need to go to the doctor. It sounds like a kidney or Urinary tract infection. Best of luck!
That sounds like a uti or bladder infection. I’d see a dr
Hi I had pregnancy symptoms but I got my periods 2 weeks late after that but I still have the symptoms could I still be pregnant.,
Hi. if you got your period then it seems you are not pregnant
Hello my period is very irregular this time around. this month Jan I have been bloated all month and it hasn’t gone down, my nipples have been killing me as well, my weight has dropped, I’m dizzy all the time pee every 20 minutes a little nausea swollen feet checked my vitals perfectly healthy feeling feverish with no fever, lower back pain, and of course pressure in my abdomen could I still be pregnant ? My period is usually a silent creeper none of this is normal for me?
Hi,If you had unprotected sex yes you could be pregnant take a pregnancy test to find out.
Hello. I’m not sure what to do here. I had a partial hysterectomy in May 2015…but my boobs are tender, I’m eating & sleeping more, having vivid dreams & dizzy spells are common. Plus my husband’s cologne stinks to me now. I Googled if it’s possible & the answer was yes but rare. Advice please.
Hello!
I am following an app to determine my menstrual cycle since I am not 28 days- usually between 32-34. My last period was December 15 and, according to the app, my next cycle is to start tomorrow. I usually experience breast tenderness a week prior to getting my period, then intense abdominal cramping one day prior to the first day flow. However, this month, I didn’t have any PMS features last week, and just started experiencing breast tenderness and food cravings today (one day before the projected start of me period). Do you think I’m PMSing or are these pregnancy symptoms? Does PMS usually occur 1 week prior to the start of the cycle or can it be at any time? I guess if my period is late, I can either chalk it up to the inaccuracy of my app, or that I am actually pregnant. The suspense is awful!
Hello, I am trying to get pregnant too. My last period was on 13th Dec 2015. Had contact with my husband on the fertile days as calculated. My period is to start today and i got abdominal cramps and heaviness in the morning (not now). Now the thing is, were those one of the pregnancy sign or is it period cramps.
Hi, Abdominal cramps are signs of early pregnancy but the only way to know for sure is to take a pregnancy test.good luck 🙂
Hello, my last period was on November 27th to December 3Rd or 4th. I don’t get sore breasts before my period ever. Although it’s now January 5th and I haven’t gotten another period since November…I’ve had light cramping for about three weeks now and sore breast for just over a week now.. I’m not sure if I should wait and give my body time to see it my period comes or see a doctor…
Hello,Try taking a pregnancy test then visit your doctor.
Hi, Those symptoms could be signs of PMS also best thing to do is wait until you missed at least one period then take a pregnancy test.
My boyfriend and I have been trying to conceive for about 2 months now. My period isn’t due for another 7 days but for the past 4 days I have been experiencing hot flashes bloating ( my stomach is a little firm ) headaches, mild back pain, and on off cramping. Is this early signs or am I gonna get a sad visit from flow?
