Early pregnancy or PMS??

[ale2992]

Feeling nauseous, cramps, spotting today and yesterday, light headed, painful/bigger boobs, back ache?
Pms or early pregnancy? Due AF in the next feels days not 100% on the exact date.

Could be either or, have you taken a test?

@CaramelCluster why do the symptoms have to be the exact same?
No haven't got any trying to wait until later in the week.
As I said not 100% on my dates for period as I haven't had one since I had a miscarriage. Tried to use some app to estimate based on when I ovulated but have three different dates 30th, 31st and 2nd? X

@ale2992 I know, it's like the lottery trying to guess all the right symptoms!

I would take the app predictions with a pinch of salt when it comes to when you ovulate - they're not accurate at all and go on algorithms rather than your biological changes, best ways are OPKs, CM and BBT (when BBT works I've had a few issues with it) I've tracked 3 full cycles and it's usually off as my cycle isn't your standard 28 days.

Well hold out if you can for the next few days and then test - tbh i'm still very new to the TTC process but I always hear FRERs are the ones to go for if you want an earlier result. Wishing you lots of luck! 🤞🏽

Yes I used OPK to see as well so know I definitely ovulated.
Only used the cheap strip ones when I tested last week but it was definitely too early, wish I hadn't used them all, I could have tested. Going to get a FRER Thursday/Friday.
I'm quite new to it all too, got pregnant on my first cycle after coming off the pill in September/October, sadly miscarried by December, so have been trying again this month.

I'm very sorry to hear about your miscarriage hun, and wishing you lots of baby dust luck for when you test! 🤞🏽🤞🏽

Pretty sure AF is showing up this morning. Spotting has increased, still not bleeding but I think it's definitely in its way.
I'm ok though, disappointed obviously but I know we weren't 100% trying this month and that it's better to have a period after miscarriage.

Well it's not over until AF comes into full swing. I would get a HPT and then you'll be more sure whether or not you are especially if you're due/near due.

It's here, it's fine though

Ah sorry to hear that hun ☹️ I hope next month brings more luck and baby dust to you 🤞🏽

AF seems to be easing off now, gearing up for TTC again this month. Feeling really positive and hopeful 🤞🏻

Well good, I'm glad to hear you're in good spirits! Got my 🤞🏽🤞🏽 for you this month!
