I was totally fooled this month. I thought I was finally pregs this month, but my symptoms turned out to just be PMS. I'm learning not to get my hopes up. It's a cruel trick that nature made the two so hard to distinguish.

However, I was pregnant before (had an abortion in 2006), and what I remember from my early days of being pregnant was that it was just SO OBVIOUS that I was pregnant. I could hardly stay awake, and I didn't puke, but I was so pukey all the time. Like hardcore upset tummy, couldn't eat, and I would get that saliva feeling in the mouth like when you're about to vom.

So for my next TWW, I'm trying to tell myself to not get so worked up unless it feels OBVIOUS. I heard that 90% of pregnant people get morning sickness, so this time I'm telling myself to not get excited until I vomit! Hahaha.

Good luck to you!

Yes, with my first pregnancy i had sore breast, cramps, fatigue, and moodiness. The exact same symptoms that i experience during pms. So i had no clue that i was pregnant until after af didn't show up. Which is why my tww has been so anxious. However, i will say that i don't think that frequent urination is a pms symptom. I think that is a pro.
