  • With my daughter I had all of my period symptoms (pressure down there, killer cramps, head ache, tired, hunger, sore boobs). It wasnt until I started my "period" (I put it like that because you cant get a period while pregnant but you can have vaginal bleeding) and it was very light and spotty that I decided to test and it was positive. With my son all I had was sore boobs lol and I never bled and missed my period. This time I'm not sure. I havent really had any symptoms except sore boobs and some cramps but I am 3 dys late (was suppose to start the 11th) and no period. Took a test yesterday and it was negative so I'm waiting til the weekend to test again if I dont start by then. Good luck to you :)

  • I always felt exactly like I was about to get my period. I only knew when I was a few days late. Wait until you are a few days late, then test. Good luck!
