Should I test? Am I going crazy?

[hillwalkinggal]

Hi everyone,

Sorry for another am I/arent I pregnant post but I feel like I am going mad!

Just wondering what everyone's first pregnancy symptoms were?

I am day 27 in my cycle and my cycles are on average 30 days long.

I usually get sore boobs and have cramps for a couple of days and then AF arrives but this cycle I have had really unusually sensitive nipples for several days now and also low back ache period type pain for several days too. I am also extremely bloated and gassy every day. I am warmer than usual and i feel low level nausea but wondering if it is just a bug that is coinciding with the arrival of my AF and I am just paranoid!

If I am feeling period type pain then surely I am not pregnant? Wondering whether it is too early to test. Has anyone tested before their period is due and felt reassured it was an accurate result or should I just leave it a few more days?

Thanks!

If you can afford a test then do one.

I have seen that the First Response brand do a 6 day early one so maybe they would be the most reassuring route?

You're only 3 days from your period so yes, try a FRER.

I had these same symptoms minus the gas. Test, test, test!

Ok thanks guys. Hopefully testing a little early with one of those tests is more likely to reassure me either way than leaving it and wondering. Going to see if I can find one soon.

Thanks for the advice guys. Found a test and got a very clear positive line. Cannot believe it still to be honest. I really cant. Now to think how to tell my partner.

Congratulations 🥳

Congratulations 💕
