Pregnancy vs. PMS

[Quint]

How d'you know if you're pregnant? If you are displaying most of the signs that your period is about to begin (tender breasts, increased horniness, really juicy, etc) but it hasn't started yet dammit, is this at all indicative that you aren't pregnant? What I mean is, would a pregnant woman still get these symptoms of PMS?

Thanks, guys. I have no knowledge when it comes to babies.

Breast tenderness, bouts of nausia (not nessesarily in the morning), late period, and moodieness can all indicate pregnancy.
Only way to be sure though is a urine or blood serum test checking horomone levels.

I know how scary it can be doing the "Am I pregnant or not" dance.
Hope the results are the one you want.

Tender breasts are a symptom, as can be all the other symptoms you mentioned. Also increased appetite can be....though most doctors claim it is a myth you need to eat for 2, I was always a small eater then overnight it changed and I couldn't get enough food, especially healthy items. Didn't occur to me I was pregnant at the time as I was on the pill and had investigative surgery which came out saying I had one in a million chance of conceiving. As Vixandra says, the only way to relieve your mind is to get a test. The home ones are good but can give false readings early on....my daughter did 3 tests...1 positive and 2 negative, and she turned out to be pregnant.

My husband always called pregnancy "9 months of PMS"!
I guess I was a little moody when I was pregnant...
