Cycle day 26.....pms or pregnant

[JackJacksmummy]

Hi all,

Ok, so I already have three children, youngest is almost 6 and is exceptionally hard work so have kind of dismissed ever having anymore children!!!

DP and I don't use any formal family planning - and not had any "accidents" in the last 6 years but this month I just feel different.

I don't usually suffer with pre menstrual symptoms except possibly back ache but not often, when I do I don't even make the connection til the next day when af arrives and then I think ahhh so that's why my back was killing last night!!!

Anyway for the last week I've been so exhausted even though I have been sleeping better than anytime in the last few months! Waking up feeling dizzy and sick, been put off various foods by the smell - or even the memory of the smell. Period type cramps, headaches, when I feel like eating then i eat a lot! Oh and boobs! Been sore and really heavy for a while now, and this morning I did notice they looked swollen!

I don't really want to waste money on a test til I'm officially "late" so will test Wednesday/Thursday.

What are the chances that these symptoms are just pre menstrual cos I know they can be similar??

Thanks!
P.s if I am it will be a shock but I think happy surprise and we'd get used to the idea!
