Question

at how many days past the due date of your period can you pretty much assume that you are pregnant?

I have several symptoms and am now on cd33 and 17dpo. I have almost constant hip/leg/back pain and cramping with strange fluttering and a very odd kind of pinching/cramping. I am also feeling very tired, hungry and surprisingly content and happy but it's driving me insane# this ttw thing is way more tedious and nerve wracking than I thought!! I have an abundance of sticky white cm and cp is different than usual this time of month; high softish and sorta open. im 25, haven't bin on any bc for ten years as I am sensitive to side affects.. im a new member and just started recording info here.. would love to hear some advice!!!! ! :-)

I was a week late and was having similar symptoms then my period started. This month I had zero symptoms and had a hpt left over from last and just tested a few days before my missed period to humor myself. It turned positive after a few seconds to I tested a few days later and another bfp. So, here I am 5 weeks pregnant with only morning sickness as my symptom. Period and pregnancy signs are so similar it's so hard to tell em apart. Good luck to you! Baby dust towards your way!

It's hard to assume anything unless you are charting your BBT, because otherwise you can't be sure of when exactly you ovulated. But they say if you do chart and your temperature is elevated for 18 days, you are most likely pregnant. GL!

If you're truly 17 dpo, a hpt should be accurate. My positives have always come before my missed AF. But keep in mind that pregnancy symptoms are identical to PMS so try not & symptom spot bc it will just drive you nuts. Gl to you!

wow! congrats mrskellbell!! and yes the symptoms are too close for any comfort.lol. the only difference here is that im having the strangest feeling in my tummy! like a ball that's rolling around and pursue w this pinching!! it has definitely gotten better but s few days ago I was literally ready to cry.. I thought maybe it was period cramps starting to kick in early but now they stopped?? Anyone have any advice or experienced this before?

Your digestive & reproductive organs are very close together. Could it be intestinal or gas? My pregnancy cramping was very similar to menstrual cramps. Honestly, I wasnt able to differentiate until after the fact. Everyone is different, but my AF cramps tend to be in my lower back. My pregnancy cramps tend to be in front & sharper. I never had any rolling or flutters until I had fetal movement which occurs about 4-5 months into the pregnancy. At this point, until you get either a bfp or af, it's just a guessing game! :)
