Early symptoms....Pregnancy vs AF. Anyone??

Hello ladies.
So I'm wondering who had PMS symptoms before getting BFP

Little bit of background...

So I'm on CD 30 after my first period since the merina coil.
Not sure of when I ovulated though I can normally tell....I thought it was the first week after AF but now I'm not sure.
2 weeks ago I started getting cramps and backache like AF. I'm unsure of my cycle length as I had the coil for 3 years and only had one period since the coil came out.
AF was on May 15th lasting 3 days.

I done a HPT on CD 27 & CD 28 (was very emotional! Which was my first sign with my DD) but I got 2 BFNs

I've still been getting slight cramps, twinges and, backaches over the last week but woke up today with slightly tender boobins and had a upset stomach all morning. I know this is a sure sign AF is on her way but has anyone had symptoms the same as PMS which turned out to be early pregnancy? And how long after the symptoms did you get your BFP??

Xxx

Yeah definitely! Just DTD and there is no more bleeding going to see how I go over the weekend and if it's still all over the place by Monday I will ring my GPS x

I had a similar experience in march. 9 days late ( i'm like clock work regular ) and had a very light period for 4 days. Very odd.
It might be best to see your doctor to rule anything out, best to be on safe side.

Ok so bit of a TMI moment here but serious ladies I am baffled!!!!

So it's been 4 hours since the bleed, I put a tampon in at 2pm and just went to change it to find no blood on it!? Just a few small patches of brown.

Seriously I am hating my body at the moment what the helllllll xx

Looks like AF showed up half way through BD!!!! Couldn't have picked a worse time to show her ugly face haha. I'm so gutted, had a cry. I have no idea why that test had a faint line yesterday it really got my hopes up and now I feel like I've hit a brick wall. Really hope it doesn't last long so we can crack on with next month x

Me too, I'm going to allow myself to wallow this weekend and then I'm going to make positive changes. I might try and stop tracking too...

Thanks ladies. Good luck to you all. I don't want to get my hopes up though as I'm on clomid. I'm getting shooting in boobs day and night under armpit very odd! Took hpt negative but only ovulated on of around 4th so would be too early to tell. Weeing a lot too. My body is odd

Osirus · 15/06/2016 23:25

I've had positive OPKs before/ around AF was due and not been pregnant. Get a First Response or Superdrug test. Don't rely on OPKs to test for pregnancy. The hormones are similar but not the same.

Jodie1982 · 15/06/2016 21:31

I found out I was pregnant by accidentally peeing on a opk stick thinking I bought hpt sticks lol. Ur probably preggy hun.

MegGriffin1 · 15/06/2016 18:10

I had an almost positive opk last night but as I have pcos it doesn't mean much !

I had a smear this afternoon which has caused me to start spotting I'm hoping it stops and doesn't lead to my period!!! Xx

You very well may be pregnant. A positive OPK can be an indicator of pregnancy as LH and HGC are almost chemically identical.

I'd pee on the FRER in the morning with first morning wee.

Good luck

I have 2 of them sat waiting to be tested haha.

So this may seen crazy, I e just posted the same on another thread, but my OPKs for next month arrived this morning and I got that urge to POAS just for pure curiosity haha.... crazy I know

Anyway, this was the result after just 2 mins??
Now correct me if I'm wrong but that looks positive to me!! It's the darkest one I've had! Surely surely I am not ovulating on CD32!!??

Modestandatinybitsexy · 14/06/2016 08:36

Flowers You've only recently had your coil removed so it's probably your body settling back into a natural rythm. Wishing you better luck next month.
