Q: 

is it possible to feel pms symptoms such as cramping and headaches and really be pregnant? or would it feel differently?

Hi next I should be coming on my period next week, I've been having a lot of unprotected sex with my bf the past couple of months, the past few days I've been having symptoms I don't know if prgnancy or pms. My breasts are REaLLY sore..not a pms symptom I usually have and been having quite a few headaches again not usual pms symptoms for me also the skin on my stomach seems tender to touch and having cramps like usual for pms...am I bein paranoid can pms symptoms randomly change?

Hi I've always had a regular period except when I started having sex and even then it went back to the normal days. I am married and we have been having unprotected sex for almost a year and nothing ever changes and I'm never pregnant. In July my period started a day late and it was link when I wiped and the next day it was kinda heavy and went back to normal medium. This August is started a few days early and light to wear I really didn't need any pad. The next day it was only slightly heavy when I went to the bathroom. Sometimes on the third day it will either end or stop a day and start again for another day and be done. This time it stopped for a day and a half and then went lightly for half a day and stopped. I had unprotected sex later that night and a few hours later there was a light stream of blood. I spotted for several hours and now I am completely done. Usually the day before and the day it starts my thighs ache and I may get a headache and only cramp for a day or two during. Once I am about to be off and off I have no symptoms. This time I am still having cramps and a headache. I also got light headed and dizzy after sex as if I were going to pass out. A bit later I had another dizzy spell. Earlier when I went to eat I felt sick to my stomach and randomly again just a bit ago. All of that is for sure along with me being hotter when I'm normally cold. Some other thing that could just be in my head is I'm paying more attention to smells. I stopped the spotting yesterday which was day four and took a pregnancy test that is slightly old and it was negative and I read you should wait a few days after bleeding to test. Do I sound like I could be pregnant or something else is wrong?

i am 8 & a half weeks pregnant. been going to appointments regularly.been totally active throughout whole time this far (8 & a half wks). this week on 7/26/11 i was very sick and in a lot of really bad pain ive never felt before. i called the ambulance and went to er, from what i explained to them they said braxton hicks but they then noticed it was too early fo braxton hicks i was i nthere all day for lab work and stuff, no explaination.woke up 7/29/11 with no pain whatsoever. and now that i take the time to think about it my periods are regular usallybetween the 25th and 29th of every month and i think thats pretty wierd cause its an almost perfect timing.and the crazy thing is that was the same time my last period lasted on may 26th!!! But still have no blood at all. is that normal. the pain was really horrible

Shar,
Be sure to advocate for yourself, and feel free to call your doctor's office to ask to speak to either the doctor or his N.P. about your specific questions that were not answered. You need to know what your doctor wants you to do for your next steps, and the nurse's station receives many calls from patients needing to follow-up after an appointment. Ask to speak with your doctor's nurse, or a N.P. in the office, who can (usually) take more time to answer your questions with your medical chart as a reference.

let us know!
