Anyone have AF symptoms but they were actually pregnant?

[user0786]

Hey,

So I suffer with PMS symptoms around a week before AF is due.

This month has been no different, I've got extremely sore boobs and cramping. I've also been very moody. However, all my PMS symptoms are more intense. I would've usually started AF by now as these symptoms have been happening over a week. The issue is AF has become a bit irregular lately and therefore I cannot pinpoint if I'm officially late.

Anyone have the same?

Anyone?

Hi. No doubt symptoms are the same. So you could be pregnant. But you cannot know for sure until you test positive. Did you take any test?

When I became pregnant, I had really bad cramps and backache for 3 or 4 days. I was convinced it was my period - it felt exactly the same.

Yes when I was pregnant with ds1 I remember feeling really disappointed because I was having strong period pains, and I'd been convinced I was pregnant. I just didn't come on. When are you going to test?

I'll test on Sunday if AF doesn't arrive. I have spare OPKs and I did one and it was negative so I'm assuming I'm out (apparently OPK's can pick up HCG?)

I did with dc3 - felt sure I was coming on - cramps and everything when AF was due - she's nearly 14 now!

Hi!
In same boat at the minute - all usual AF symptoms but a bit more intense other than cramps - actually milder than normal, light spotting that then turned brown. Normally I will have the spotting then bad cramps as AF starts, so feels a bit different this cycle.

My cycles had been irregular earlier in the year, I thought they were sorting themselves out but I'm only 10dpo today so would be strange for AF to come!

I'd trust an FRER or high sensitivity IC over an OPK where possible - I've heard mixed reviews r.e OPK and early indication of BFP.

Crossing everything for you. I've been testing (can't help myself!) but my tests are lower sensitivity so unlikely I would get a BFP until the weekend. Keep us posted?? 😊
