PMS and Pregnancy Symptoms Similar?
We started BDing on the 5th and I'm not sure when I was OV but I would normally expect AF in the next few days
(last Af started on 10/22)
Anyway...
So for the past few days I've been getting cramps and nipple soreness...but different then usuall...could this be a sign or do you think it could be psychosomatic? I want to test but I know you're supposed to wait...ahhh? Any thoughts?

Re: PMS and Pregnancy Symptoms Similar?
Pregnancy and PMS symptoms are extremely similar.
I get those symptoms you mentioned every month before AF.
Is this your first month TTC? When you start TTC, you become so in tune with your body that you may begin to notice things that you hadn't before.
Best of luck!

Re: PMS and Pregnancy Symptoms Similar?
Yup...this is my first month TTC...which was a total spontaneous decision...we were going to wait until the new year...but i'm happier this way 
It's prob just nerves...i just feel different...hard to explain! But i'm trying not to get my hopes up!

I know what you mean,,everything feels different but I think its b/c when we weren't ttc we didn't think about how the cramps felt or how our boobs felt..we are now feeling the same things but it will feel different b/c we are paying attention to it now... I swore I felt different too.....Got AF last night!!! So now...Im not going to pay attention to any symptom other than morning sickness!!! But good luck!!

Re: PMS and Pregnancy Symptoms Similar?
the symptoms are almost identical...unfortunately.
however, most women don't have many 'symptoms' until 5-6 weeks in.
i only had cramps which was 100% normal for me from the time of O to AF...

thats why we say TTC can be so hard.. just the journey all in itself.,... the symptoms we feel.. every twinge , etc..
it all makes us go  and  yet it can be exciting and we get our hopes up from time to time... it really is all completely normal

Re: PMS and Pregnancy Symptoms Similar?
When I got my BFP, my symptoms were very PMS like, but like a week earlier than AF. I had AF like cramping, but a full week before AF was due.

Re: PMS and Pregnancy Symptoms Similar?
