pregnancy symptons or flu

6 Posts

Hi all

I am trying not to symptom spot but it is not working and I am!

Af due anytime from yesterday to middle next week as I am not regular.

I did a pregnancy test last month as was few days late and was impatient. Witch came few days later!

This month I am unsure whether I could be pregnant or whether just illness.

I have been having bad stomach pains for the last week or so and have been feeling really sick for the past few days. I seem really tired and thirsty all the time and being getting a bit emotional getting really upset and nearly crying at work for no reason. Also had a yoghart today and felt really sick with it (these are 1s I eat so no I like them!). I have also been a bit constipated.

The thing that is confusing me is that yesterday I came down with a cold and have a bit of a cough.

I am wondering whether my symtoms are due to being ill and rundown or whether I could be pregnant.

I have not had usual period pains that I get just before af and last week got funny feeling like a stretching or pulling in stomach/womb (not sure how to explain it).

Just confussed and dont want to get excited and hopes up if im mixing up symptons with just being ill. I got really down over xmas as really though/wanted to be pregnant.

Any advice/views would be appreciated.

I think if no af will test on Sunday but just want to test as want to know! As not regular Im probably testing early anyway.

thanks

Vicky

It is hard to tell.

I just had norovirus then got a BFP two days later.... so you never know!

When is AF due? xx

Hi

Thanks for ur replies.

I'm not sure if stomach pains felt like expanding balloon or not.

AF was due tuesday but could be anytime in next week as not regular.

Still waiting for AF so fingers crossed.

Going to give it another week b4 testing to be sure.

Fingers crossed for you. I totally sympathise with how awful it is when you are irregular and AF is late. It really gets your hopes up and is confusing. I decided to start temping this month and it's been great to know O date and when to expect AF. Part of me didn't want to because I was really trying to be nonchalant about the whole TTC thing! I think, however, that it's far less stressful for me to take temp every morning rather that wonder what us going on in cycle.

Hopefully you won't have to worry about the 2WW anytime soon though : )

Good luck x
