PMS vs Pregnancy symptoms? Stupid question

Okay I have to ask this question. I know AF is coming as I had an MRI late this month and I missed my O date - but I honestly have to ask this as I see everyone saying they have pregnancy symptoms and then getting a BFP.

What are real pregnancy symptoms vs PMS.

Almost every month I get - very sore boobs, naseau, sometimes vomiting from Migranes, migranes, cramps etc. - How do I tell the difference? I mean I left work early today as I had such bad naseau and shaking from a bad migrane - to the point I actually had two people ask if I was pregnant.

Sorry for the really stupid question.

Re: PMS vs Pregnancy symptoms? Stupid question

i really have yet too see a huge difference between the two ....to bother thinking about it


the ONLY thing that stands out is a change in the senses...

Ihave heard PG you can have a change in your sense of smell and taste

Thank you - unfortunately I have vision, speech and taste changes with my migranes ugh - so I guess for me testing will be my real proof.

i get that too

when i have migraines i lose my vision temporarily...not soo much taste changes though....that is odd..

but if you are having a migraine you probably know that as opposed to being PG no?

YES I get the visiton issues - like lightening circles and I can't see anything where they are!

Well my friend got migranes b.c her hormones were crazy when she got pregnant so I didn't know if they were a preg symptom or not...LOL. Okay I think I am reading way too much into the symptoms. I have an irregular periods (PCOS) so it is also hard to know if I am late or just off

LOLChat Icon I will totally drive myself batty overthinking this - it is just we have been waiting for 2 years for the timing to finally work we just can't wait to finally get a BFP and I was so disappointed when I realized my test was on day 22 so I know I missed it this month.

Re: PMS vs Pregnancy symptoms? Stupid question

WIth my first pregnancy the only sign I had different from pms is that I was extremely tired and it wasn't going away. Everything else was exactly the same. I had cramps, light spotting, sore boobs. I had no idea I was pregnant till I tested. Infernally, that is really the only way of knowing for sure.

Re: PMS vs Pregnancy symptoms? Stupid question

I had barely any symptoms except heartburn which I NEVER had and that was it. I got crampy and thougt it was AF but it was on/off all day.
Now 8wks, I still dont have any major symptoms.
My tip off that I was pg, I was late.
