Confused??How can you tell between AF coming and early preg symptons?

[goin44]

I am now 8DPO and this cycle is different from my last one. My last cycle I had sore nipples, a bit sick, bloated, tired etc but not preg. This cycle I haven't any of those symptons? oh except being tired and sore back.
Can someone tell me if preg and Af coming are very similar? I am not wanting to test yet as my cycles is min of 35 days so i will wait until next week to test.
Let us know what you all think?

hope you get a :bfp: :)


for me i had the sore breasts, etc as normal. but i felt sooo tired. before i fell pregnant i was very fit, i did dancing 20 hours at least every week. but before i knew i was pregnant i wasnt even able to dance one song. so i had increased tiredness. i stayed out partying but i just couldnt stay up past 9:30pm. once i found out i was pregnant it all made sense but i must also say that i just "knew". IYKWIM? i wasnt interested in partying or drinking or smoking or anything i just wanted to sleep and watch telly.

hope i could help but things are different for everyone. good luck with it all :hugs:

for some people preg symptoms and af symptoms are the same but with the difference of no af actually returning but then there are some that still get af but are preg,

I for one don't really get many symptoms of either, I get a little cramping and that is it, although with DS2 I got the metal taste in my mouth

How can you tell between AF coming and early preg symptons?

I couldn't tell! I was sure AF was coming, I had no other symptoms of being PG except for the low down cramps I would always get with AF. I tested after 2 days of being late and got the shock of my life.
I still felt like AF was coming for a few weeks after and I would constantly go to the loo to check lol.

Good luck :fingerscrossed:

This is a great question but I think one that women have been asking for decades. The problem is that everybody is different and every pregnancy is different. Some women get heaps of signs and then it turns out to be just AF arriving again or sometimes it is BFP. Some women get no signs at all and just wish their AF would rock up so they can start again and move on to the next cycle and turns out they are preg.
I guess you could say it is a good sign that your last cycle is different to this cycle...
I have everything crossed for you that this means you have a BFP on its way!!

:wizard: For you!!
