I posted this on the other board as well...

Okay...my dh and I are not trying to get pregnant...but for the past couple of days I have had really bad gas and my breasts are aching a bit. I can't really tell about the other symptoms because I'm always tired around this time of year, and I drink so much water, I'm always having to go to the bathroom. I'm on bc but it's the lowest strength you can get....and I haven't been the best at taking them at the exact time everyday (or sometimes even the right day).

I was just wondering what you more experience people thought??? I'm supposed to get my good ol friend next week, should I wait until Tuesday to see if she comes....or go ahead and get a pg test???

Hm, I've been experiencing gas, indegenstion, what feels like menstrual cramps, bloating and irritability. I also had some slight spotting about 5 days ago - I don't know but from what I'm reading sounds like signs to me. Only 5 days till test!

Sounds like you are PG. I had many of the same symptoms when I was PG.

Could be, those are the only symptoms I am having so far! Everybody is different though and sometimes early pg symptoms can be so much like other issues... that the only way to know is to test... I would recommend an early HPT like First Response Early or Answer Early, if your period is not due, you have to wait until at least 4 days or so beforehand with those tests... if it is any earlier than that, it is sort of early for pg symptoms anyway. Does that make sense?

Here were some of my early pregnancy symptoms. Hope this helps!
Before I missed my period, I was very tired in the afternoons, I had to goto the bathroom alot (not pee, i had to go #2...), and I was gassy.
My first clue that I might be pregnant was that I didn't have any menstrual cramps, when I usually get them 2 days before my period. Then of course, I missed my period. Around the time I took a test (about a week after my missed period), I started getting nauseous, and my boobs started hurting. The only symptom thats changed is the going to the bathroom alot... i'm still going alot, now i'm just going pee alot instead. I dunno if that'll help you any, but I hope it does. Good luck!! I hope you get your bfp soon.

Those do sound like pregnancy signs. I would test, just to be sure.
