Hiya all, i came off my pill last july and after my first period 7 weeks ish later my body settled down in to a 28 or a 31 cycle every other month. With no period pains etc, but two weeks ago i started having ovulation pains, then period pains, tummy ache, tiredness, bloatedness blah blah. Af is due fri as i think im on 28 days this month, but im hoping that these symptons are early pregancy signs. Has anyone else had pms or early symptons like these?

In my experience af and pregnancy give the same symptoms to start with- tiredness, bloating, cramps... Extreme nausea is most likely to be pregnancy, but with my DS that didn't start until 5 weeks. I find pms can cause me to be slightly nauseous though. The only sure fire way is to do a test when your af is due- boring but true!
Good luck anyway! I'm due to test on tues/wed next week after trying for what seems like forever for number 2...

There is indeed next month! Onwards and upwards- it's the only way to think, even though it sucks!!

The main difference for me between pms and pregnancy is breast tenderness. But they can sometimes get a bit sore with pms as well so it's easy to fool yourself. But when I've been pregnant they've been really tender.

Good luck - here's hoping!

Everyone says they get tender breasts. But i have never had that near a period and i am rather small so wasnt sure wether i would get that! I know, rather bizzare thought to have! lol
