Thank you so much for visiting the website and for posting your question here.
This is a great question and one that I think a lot of women have wondered about. Personally, I have found in talking to women that many felt that they were having really bad PMS times when in fact they were pregnant. And some have told me that they thought they were going to get their periods any second because of the mild cramping, etc., but then it never showed up and they took a pregnancy test and boom, they were pregnant.
So I would say that based on what I've had friends tell me, yes, you can have typical PMS symptoms like headaches and cramping and actually be pregnant.
What might be different for some women is maybe an added symptom that doesn't usually accompany PMS for them. Like I have one girlfriend who told me when she was pregnant with her first child she had regular PMS symptoms at first, but what made her think she might be pregnant is that when she showered the water hitting her breasts hurt so bad it about sent her through the roof.
Do you think you might be pregnant now, based on the type of PMS you are having? Are you close to having your period?
