Hi there! I’m having symptoms of early pregnancy - ridiculously early. Nausea, headaches, dizziness, cramps and painful nipples like bullets! Just taken a test 5 days before period is due and got a negative. Have you heard of ladies getting fake symptoms?

If your period isn't due for five days, it isn't morning sickness. Confused

What did your doctor think it was if it wasn't a bug?

Doctor says no and it doesn’t feel like one.

I thought I might be imagining then but I’ve been sick countless times so that’s what’s swaying me to think it’s not in my head!

If you want yo he pregnant you'll notice all sorts of "symptoms" that are totally normal and not indicative of anything other than being hyper vigilant about your body.

Wait until your period is late and take a test. Good luck. Smile

I had really tingly nipples before my BFP last time. Sadly ended in MMC at 10 weeks but you can def get symptoms early. That and being really exhausted.

Sadly, PMS is a bitch and mimics pregnancy symptoms. Even if you were pregnant, you wouldn’t be feeling true pregnancy symptoms at such an early stage anyway. What you’re feeling is progesterone levels kicking your ass and even more annoyingly, some months it won’t therefore when you DO get symptoms, it makes you think you might be pregnant because you haven’t had them before

Thank you Kate. I’m one of those annoying people with no patience so driving myself nuts. Just want to know either way!

Rarely get PMS symptoms so this is all very out of the ordinary for me!!

Yes. Because early pregnancy symptoms are caused by progesterone, which is present regardless of pregnancy at towards the end of the cycle. PMS symptoms are identical to pregnancy symptoms in the early stages. PMS symptoms can vary from cycle to cycle.
