Is it possible to feel as though AF is coming but still be pregnant

Hi
ttc my 2nd dc for 9 months now.
I am currently on cd 23 but I have no idea when my af should be due as I have been irregular ever since I started ttc with cycles ranging anywhere between 23 days, and 63 days.

I am feeling quite down atm as I am experiencing all of the vague signs of a af on its way such as mild aches making me think another month not pregnant.
Is it possible to be pregnant but still feel as though af is on its way as usual.

it is totally possible - I was in a situation where I couldn't test when I was pg with DS, and every single day I checked obsessively because I felt exactly like my period was about to start. A week later I got home, could test, and I was pg. Sadly I've also felt like this recently and just had my period (again) instead. Tis one of nature's merry jokes that early pg feels just like the days before your period. Hopeing for a good outcome for you

Honestly - some do, some don't - I always knew I was pg as I felt entirely happy, peaceful, jolly even...not the usual! Lot's don't though so it's really personal. Did you with your first?

Both my pregnancies have started with a feeling of a imminent period, just my boobs being more tender eventually gave the game away. Constant toilet trips to "check" and nothing there made me test as somebody said they were stretching pains.

With my first I was expecting my period any minute. It is 8 years late now. Totally possible. Hope you get a PPT soon.

Hi.

Last time I conceived I was convinced af was due any day, but nothing showed so I did HPT wiht a ++++, I had all the regular symptoms or a nomal cycle.

I am now cd26, but post mc. So not sure when af due. No real signs that OV happened this month and no real signs of af on its way either. But, I am constantly going to toilet, I am tired and bloated and I am constantly hungry. I have always had a sore chest a few days before my af, but nothing this time, yet all the other symptoms above are usual.

What does anyone make of this. Opinions are appreciated.
