I have a very sensitive body to things and new things so it's very rare for me to feel this way from just normal pms and I could be feeling symptoms early as I have a Sensitive body

Brief Answer:
it is a possibility

Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

It is quite possible that you are pregnant since you would have been sexually active around ovulation.

Most pregnancy tests can detect the HCG hormone by day 11 to 14 after conception,though there are some that may be able to test earlier.

This means that you have to wait till this time period has passed to do a test and find out if have conceived.

Some women may have more distinct early symptoms.

I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions

Anything else I should look for that is different than pms ? Test was negative but I think to early to detect hcg as I have been told . I just can't believe how sick I was for the morning afternoon then fine in the evening and fine today ! We did have sex days before and on ovulation ( used a ovulation kit to detect it )


Can an ob gyn look at this question too?

Brief Answer:
blood hcg can pick up pregnancy earlier

Detailed Answer:
HI

Sorry about the delayed reply

No the symptoms of early pregnancy are very similar to those of pms because of hormonal changes.

The only way to definitively determine if you have conceived would be a pregnancy test.

As mentioned , most tests take 11 to 14 days before they can pick up the HCG hormone so it is possible that the negative result may be due to the test being done too early.
It would be best to wait till this time has gone before repeating

Alternatively blood HCG tests can pick up pregnancy earlier so you may want to consider this option

Thank you ! I am having period type cramping that I usually have when I have my period I am 8 days away from my period . I never feel pms like this and at this time . No bleeding just slight cramping in my lower abdomin . Does this seem like I am pregnant ? Along with sore boobs and fatigue .

Only because I never have pms cramps normally only when I am having my period

Very bloated as well

Brief Answer:
it is possible

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Sorry about the delayed response

Bloating, cramping can also be associated with pregnancy, they are included as possible pregnancy symptoms but again the only way to determine if you are pregnant would be a blood or urine pregnancy test.

If you wish for an early answer, the blood test would be the better option

If you wish to conceive and you are having any problems then your doctor would need to assess both you and your partner.

let me know if can answer any further queries
