Common Questions and Answers about Symptoms of period or pregnancy

period

Hello...the only way to know for sure what is happening in your body is to visit your doctor. Symptoms of pregnancy aren't the same for everyone and often mirrors symptoms of a period. Also, sometimes our brain is very devious in conspiring with our body to produce certain symptoms because we have planted the idea -- this might be why are having these pregnancy symptoms. However, you cannot know for sure until you visit your health care provider.

During the reproductive years, the pituitary gland in the brain generates hormones (follicle-stimulating hormone [FSH] and luteinizing hormone [LH]) that cause a new egg to mature and be released from its ovarian follicle each month. As the follicle develops, it produces the sex hormones estrogen and progesterone, which thicken the lining of the uterus called the endometrium.

2 weeks after you had sex, or you can just wait and see if your period shows up

This morning I also woke up with a sore throat, sore achy body and very sore abdomena and back. Could these be pregnancy symptoms or am I just being wishful.

I feel like im about to get my period but its way to early for it to start. Should i test or wait to see if my period comes?

I thought it was a little early too, but in my last pregnancy I started noticing symptoms around 7 or 8 dpo. Well today is CD 26 and my cervix is high and soft again and I had ewcm...which is really weird because I already had high soft cervix and ewcm around Christmas time. No idea what is going on with my body because I don't usually get anything but thick sticky cm before my period (sorry tmi). Also, I still have the leg/joint pain and heartburn.

Take a test!

i was just wondering did any of you have cold symptoms or actually have a cold when you found out you where preggo!!

There are a lot of symptoms. Put "pregnancy symptoms" in a search engine and see what could be going on! Please note that pregnancy symptoms are not uncommon symptoms and can be other things, too, not just pregnancy. Only way to know is to have a preg. test, doctor confirmation, and an ultrasound.

Nausea, dizziness and tender/sensitive nipples right after period? Is this normal? I haven't got sensitive nipples since started bc pills so confused me, but even before was on bc pills I only ever got them before period. Now concerned it wasn't a "real" period though lasted 4 or 5 days medium flow. P.S.

No one can tell you, you need to take a pregnancy test if you've missed your last period and that will you if you're pregnant or not. If not, then see your doctor and they can look into it.

what are the symptoms of an ectopic pregnancy? Can you still get your period regularily? Does your hpt turn positive? I'm asking because i'm experiencing a stabbing/throbbing pain in my right ovary, other than ovulation pain. It persists throughout my cycle, after ovulation and during period. I'm scheduled for hsg on thursday and was wondering if there's any counterindictaion now, I don't want my tube to explode or anything.

ve checked my cervix position and it is high, wet,soft and possibly open. My period is supposed to come in the next week or so. But could I be pregnant, or experiencing pms symptoms?

ll have some cramps, basically symptoms of a period, minus the period. One thing I noticed, I was peeing A LOT! I drink a lot of water as it is, but I have never gone to the bathroom this much in my life! You'll start feeling any symptoms a few days prior to your missed period.

Do not feel stupid. There are a lot of common symptoms in pregnancy that "your mother just won't talk about" :). Some symptoms show up during this pregnancy and some others, each pregnancy is different. I love to talk about pregnancy and birth. Sometimes I think that if my husband had more reliable work hours, I would have become a labor delivery nurse...so ask away :) Good luck and keep me posted...I would love to hear how it all comes out.

right after that i got light brwn discharge and it became darker. my period is due later than this. any idea of wt this can be? pregnancy???i also ate alot of youghurt and garlic for the yeast infection...and i also read in a forum that yeast infection and the dark brown discharge are signs of pregnancy...

I was looking on the internet and it looks like you can have the same symptoms for a period and pregnancy. The only different thing is light brown discharge is more sign of pg. But I was wondering could this be a "warning" sign for my af? Please help!
