How can you tell the difference between Pms and pregnancy symptoms?
Question by scared to death: How can you tell the difference between Pms and pregnancy symptoms?
I know a pregnancy test is the only way to find out but it’s a little early for one and I have bad pms but some of the symptoms i’m getting are way off base for me. I practice safe sex so please don’t lecture me on it. I’m anxious and scared and don’t know what i’m going to do. so is there any way to tell the difference between pms and pregnancy symptoms?

Answer by Maddy’s Mommy
For me the only difference was my morning sickness. Everything else was the same for me and if I hadn’t been pregnant before I would have just thought I was getting my period and a stomach bug. If you’re worried wait until you miss your period and take a test that is the only true way to find out.

An awful lot of women say they feel like they’re getting their period and then it just doesn’t come. I think the main difference for some women at first is just the positive test.
You just take a pregnancy test when your period’s due if it doesn’t show up. For me,they were EXACTLY the same. It varies from woman to woman though. Good job on practicing safe sex,and if you do so you’re probably not pregnant,but test if your period’s late. My pms symptoms are always really bad too. I have PMDD.
For me the symptoms were the same. I felt like I was having cramps (still do). And my breast got really sore (but they always do). I just tested and that’s how I knew the difference
Truth, honestly the only thing to tell u for sure is the + sign on a home pregnancy stick! Until you can take a test in the coming days rely on your knowledge of really knowing your body.4 of my 5 pregnancies were ‘for sure pms’. If you feel even 1 different symptom from any pms/ period normal-monthly stuff for you, then take a test! Good luck!
