What's the difference between the symptoms of PMS and pregnancy?



I suspect i might be pregnant. But before going to the doctor and taking pregnancy test.. WOuld like some advice on the similiar symptoms.

If you're pregnant you will most likely not have a period, even though there are a few who have had their period during a pregnancy and some who haven't been pregnant and stopped their period which could be a medical reason or due to stress.

Symptoms of pregnancy is loss of period, sudden sickness, suddenly feeling tired all the time, getting burst of energy, stomach growing, increase of appetite...etc

Symptoms of PMS can be moodiness, bloating, mild to severe cramping, headaches, depression etc...

Go take a pregnancy test immediately if you are a month or more late from having your period.
the dif'rence?hardly any...except for the fact that PMS wouldnt give you a little angel in 9 months.LOL!
But really, the only way to make sure is for you to get a pregnancy test either by directly going to a doctor or having a take-home pregnancy test.
Both may involve hormonal changes and cause symptoms like mood swings, back ache, tiredness etc..

BUT, rather than waste your money. I suggest you wait till your due date for your menstrual cycle. If two weeks after your expected date and your menses are not here yet, that would be a good time to test.

I just went to take a test yesterday. It disappointingly came back negative and my menses came today. The doc did say I could have tested too early. Because when you test too early, if the test kit is not sensitive, you will see a negative result.

What a waste of my time and money.. sigh...
