Nausea, Sore Nipples And Light Fever. Periods Due In Two Days. When Can I Test For Pregnancy?

Hi, I am due to start my period in tow days

My husband and I have been trying to conceive. I have Pcos

Well lately I have been really nauseous mostly at night or if I get up and move around

My nipples are really sore

Been extremely emotional

But also very moody

Today I started with a low grade fever of 99.3-99.1

Could I be pregnant??

Would it be to early to take a home pregnancy test??

The first day of my last menstrual cycle was Oct. 22

Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
As you are due to start your period in two days, yes, it is too early to take a home pregnancy test.
All the symptoms you describe do fit in with those of early pregnancy.
However, they also equally well fit in with pre menstrual symptoms !
Reading too much into the non specific symptoms of pregnancy is unwise.
Best is to rely on a positive pregnancy test, that confirms that you indeed ARE pregnant.
The best time to take it, so that you are in no doubt, is when you have missed your period well by 3 - 5 days.
As you are having PCOS, if you are having irregular cycles, wait out the length of your longest cycle duration, and then take the test.
All the best.
