Symptoms? Am I imagining them?

[deburca]

Hi all

Can any of you wise women out here help me - not sure if I am imaginging this or not but feel a bit strange if you get my drift. Period due end of next week I think (a bit vague on dates normally write it down but have had a manic month), breasts are sore, seem to be running to loo as if I have been drinking pints of liquid (I havent) cramps (a bit like period cramps - ovulation perhaps). Im on the pill and im good about taking it - though I do know it is not 100% effective.

Am I worrying myself sick for no reason. Its not that I dont want another baby, I was planning to try for one next year its just I get a bit paniced if I dont plan things.

thanks all

At the end of the day until you've poas you'll never know one way or the other. You've been pregnant before so like others will say early pregnancy symptoms are the same as the arrival of good old AF. To stop yourself worrying yourself silly you could do an early test. But if your on the pill and take it exactly as you should be doing the chances of being pregnant are quite slim (obviously someone will now come along with a story of how their friends of a friends next dr neighbour was on the pill and had got pregnant but well. Come on!)

mellie you will have to excuse me what is AF? I do take my pill exactly as I should i just feel so strange which is worrying me. Im so tired, have no energy whatsoever. I stupidly bought a pregnancy test - one of those that you get in boots, but of course didnt pick the right one, ie the early detection test - its been so long since I did one I didnt even think, just lifted the cheapest one, so when I did it it came up negative, I was relieved and then realised that it wouldn give me a true reading as my period wasnt late yet!

I think im just panicing myself. It could just be hormonal changes as my period is due - couldnt it?

sorry AF=period

symptoms of the 2 are so similar.
