Are your pregnancy and PMS symptoms normally the same?
Hi All,
Today I am 10 or 11 DPO. Normally, when AF is coming, 8 or 9 DPO my breasts start getting really sore. Like, it hurts to walk down stairs they are so sore. Now here I am 10 or 11 DPO and they are not sore at all. Since it's normal for me when AF is coming for them to be sore does this mean AF is not coming and I could be pregnant? Just not sure if the symptoms would be the same for both AF and pregnancy? I also had cramping yesterday morning only on the left side.

At this stage, yes, symptoms would be the same. The dominant hormone between ovulation and the time your period is due is progesterone. It's what causes symptoms. When you're not pregnant, progesterone levels drop when you get your period (or rather, dropping levels trigger your period) and when you are pregnant, progesterone levels stay high.
Having said that, these hormone levels still fluctuate even if they are generally high. And that happens regardless of whether you are pregnant. So PMS coming and going is not any sign of pregnancy or lack thereof.

Any hormonal symptoms are the same. PMS, ovulation, hormone dips, pregnancy, and so on. And those symptoms change all the time, pregnant or not.

they are pretty much the same. pregnancy symptoms start at about 6 weeks pregnant.
