Question

Was anyone convinced their period was coming and then find out they were pregnant?

My last period started with spotting on the 24th of Jan although didn't really become a proper period until the 27th. That was 7 weeks ago - I've only had two periods in the last 6 months, there's something not right. I tested a few days ago because I had really bad heartburn and got a BFN.

My breasts have been super sensitive and painful for the last few days, something I haven't experienced since my early teens; my skin is breaking out badly, I'm so exhausted I'm having to take naps every afternoon and I'm definitely peeing more.

However, last night, I started getting really bad cramping. It's on and off but it's making me feel pretty nauseous. I actually went out and bought some pads today. I just feel like my period is coming. I don't want to test and disappoint myself. Normally I'd be obsessively POAS by now, I don't know what's different.

Was anyone convinced they were just PMSing and then it turned out they were pregnant? Feeling miserable.

Go to doc and test if you have missed everyday until you have it or see the doc. I personally know someone (my sis) who went 9 months and didn't know she was pregnant and this one was a second child. When contractions started getting really bad she went to ER thinking gallbladder or appendix, they started checking her in and saw she was dilated and life flight to main hospital with NICU because they were unsure how old the baby was. Turned out he was full term. With her first baby she had Preeclampsia & ended up with emergency c- section delivery about 6 weeks early, thus long before know what contractions were. She also coded twice after that birth in ICU, so we believe it was God's blessing she didn't know she was prego 2nd time because she would have most likely died from the stress of finding out she was pregnant and giving birth 2nd time around if she had known given their current income situation. I also know of at least three women around me having periods while prego

I would retest if I was you. I'm a POA addict. I'm 8w2d preggo and I felt like my period was coming at any time in the TWW. I don't wanna give you false hope, but I felt just like you, sore breast especially the nipples, heartburn, peeing a lot, my skin broke out (still), the exhaustion is almost gone (don't need to nap anymore, but always go to bed early). I just felt so different. I had no implantation bleeding, but tons of bad cramping and a pulling feeling. Lots of yellowish CM with a very different smell, not bad, just something i have never had before.
Like I said, don't wanna give you false hope, but you sound just like me. If you are not preggo this month I would go to a doctor because is not normal to have only 2 periods in six months. Are you sure you are ovulating??? Get some tests done and then go back to TTC.
Good luck and lots of baby dust!!
