Everyones body is different and everyone experiences symtpoms differently. I personally never got morning sickness or hot/cold flashes, nothing.

Some can be as early as a few weeks where as other woman just randomly experience throughout pregnancy.

I have been pregnant 3 times and for each time it felt like my period was coming. I had cramps, lower back pain, headaches and moodiness. I would say, ''no I'm not pregnant, af is gonna start anytime''. Yet some women don't feel that way. Everybody is different.

I didn't have early symptoms either. The only thing I felt was like my period was coming. I was crampy and had pink spotting the day before I expected my period and was sure I was starting my period since I always had exactly the same sort of spotting the day before I started AF.

Looking back, I did have one early sign though I didn't notice it at the time as a pregnancy symptom. Before I expected my period, my skin cleared up majorly. I was having a ton of problems with super oily skin and pimples (it reminded me of being in high school again), and it suddenly went away. I credited my new face wash system for oily skin at the time, but I think it was pregnancy hormones because my skin has been great while pregnant, and my face hasn't looked so good since I've been on the pill.

If you are far enough to have symptoms of pregnancy, you are far enough along to have a positive pregnancy test.

You could also be ovulating. I am very very uncomfortable every time my body tries to ovulate.

there is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY you'd be experiencing pregnancy symptoms if you just had sex on tuesday.

again, stop being so rude. I hope your not pregnant. and OBVIOUSLY you need to re read because you mad eno mention of having sex with your boyfriend before that day. Sorry it wasn't assumed. . .

oh, and if it's been a 'while' that would be soon enough to tell.

IF you are far enough into pregnancy to have a single pregnancy symptom (sore back, sore boobs, nausea, etc). You are far enough along for a PREGNANCY TEST.

Chances are what you are experiencing is normal for you in this time of your cycle. But, because you want to be pregnant so badly, you are now creating it as a pregnancy symptom.

So I go back to what I said, if they truly are indeed pregnancy symptoms, a pregnancy test would be positive. If not, they are not pregnancy symptoms.

wow. ok i'll make sure i am very clear in what i write, and dont leave out any information. and bridget, you had just left a comment after i had asked if hot and cold spells are symptoms, the first post here had nothing to do with that, i was asking for early signs of pregnancy. and you came out saying YOU ArE NOT PREGNANT and whatever else you said, so excuse me if i came off as rude, i was just trying to get all thin info out cuz i didnt the first time.

To my knowledge Bridget never said YOU ARE NOT PREGNANT. She said there is no way you would be experiencing symptoms this early if the time you had unprotected sex was Tuesday, which you now have made clear you had unprotected sex before that. Take a test.

Yep, I do this to myself all the time. 'Early pregnancy' symptoms are caused by Progesterone. (the sore breasts, bloating, fatigue, nausea) Coincidenatlly, progesterone is naturaly produced by your body during the second half of your monthly cycle, and is responsible for pms symptoms as well. However, when you want to/are looking for pregnancy, they automatically go from pms symptoms to pregnancy symptoms. Which are the same thing, except one comes with a positive test and one doesn't.

No one is saying that you aren't experiencing these things or that they couldn't be related to pregnancy. But, there is no way we could tell you what is due to pregnancy and what is due to pms. The only way to know for sure is to test. Use your first morning urine, because it is the most concentrated sample. If it is negative retest in a week. All we can do is say that you have a very legitimate chance of being pregnant.

Good luck!

Seriously, just take a test. Asking over and over again is not going to change the answer. Just take a test and wait two weeks and take another one just to be sure...

End of story!
