Early pregnancy symptoms

Hello I am 5/6 days away from my period being due but have started feeling strangely since Thursday. I had a tiny bit of dark discharge on Thursday. Since then I have had some cramping. I have been feeling really tired, nauseous although I still want to eat. I seem to be producing a lot more saliva than usually and my mouth feels funny. I've also had a headache. I seem to be drinking a lot more than usually and going to the toilet more than usual too as well. I just wondered if anyone has had these symptoms? I'm starting to wonder if I am...

Oooooh, do a test! Sounds promising. I had super duper sore boobs from when I was about a week pg, I did a First Response test that you could do 6 days before your due date IIRC - had to wait a few days which nearly killed me but you could get one tomorrow!

Well???

I couldn't find a first response test so I haven't managed to do one yet. I am really hoping that I am pregnant. I seem to be having period pains etc but I never have them at this point in my cycle. And I am having back pains which I never normally have... Just want to know! And I'm worried that I am going to end up being really disappointed.

Tesco stock them! :) I am crossing my fingers for you, keep me updated!

I had the exact same dark discharge and cramping about a week before my period was due when I was pregnant with my DS. Sounds very promising!

I hope so. Do you know how early a blood test will show up pregnancy?

Not many days to go til AF is due and then you can use any test! Fingers crossed still :)

Hi I went to doctors yesterday for something else and mentioned how I was feeling. I didn't even mention pregnancy but straight away she asked if I could be and said that my symptoms could well be early pregnancy. She wanted me to start taking folic acid straight away (which I already am) and didn't want to prescribe me anything for the other thing in case I am pregnant. She did a urine test which was negative but she said it may well not be showing up yet. I am so excited that I might be pregnant but at the same time I am worried that I am going to be really disappointed. I think that I could test everyday but it seems that until it's the day AF is due, pregnancy may well not show up on a test.
