Preg symptoms but period not due til end of month Posted: 09-07-07 17:25pm
I'm 22 years old and have a 3 year old
daughter. I'm having some symptoms and I
don't really know what they mean. I
started my period like 2 weeks early and
it is not a full blown period. It is only
spotting. I'm having cramps, my breasts
are tender, I have heartburn, I'm feeling
like I'm going to be sick almost all the
time. My question really is, am I
pregnant or am I just imagining things. I
got told to wait and see if my normal
period starts but that isn't until the end
of this month. So I was just wondering if
any one would be able to help me. Thanks!

Usually women ovulate 2 week before their
period. It takes awhile for the egg to
implant in the uterus and then it takes
around 10 days for testing to be positive.
If that is the case, you could not be
showing any symptoms of pregnancy yet. A
lot of women don't have any symptoms until
their first missed period.
Sometimes our hormones get thrown off for
various reasons and that could be what you
are experiencing. I know you don't want to
hear this, since it has already been
suggested to you, but you need to wait
until your period is due before you test
for pregnancy. This could be PMS.
