Can There Really Be Early Pregnancy Signs Before I Miss My Period?
The early signs and symptoms of pregnancy can feel almost exactly the same as the signs and symptoms that your period is coming. Thanks to those drastic hormone fluctuations, PMS and pregnancy can feel almost the same (cramps, light spotting or bleeding, moodiness, etc.), so you won't know for sure if it's a period or a baby until it's time to take the pregnancy test.
But according to Rebecca Lee, a registered nurse in New York and founder of RemediesForMe.com, "It is very common to have pregnancy symptoms before your missed period. Although they may be slight, you may be able to catch them if you know what to look for." Are you pregnant? Maybe, but maybe not. The reasons for each of these strange sensations is described below.
Does Being Pregnant Feel Like You're Coming Down With a Cold?
Reaching for the tissues in June? Early pregnancy (annnnd, well, the whole pregnancy) can cause rhinitis of pregnancy which is basically a stuffed up, runny nose that can also lead to a scratchy throat. Why? The extra estrogen surges can cause an increase in congestion, and the extra blood flow (yep, pregnancy creates more blood!) also contributes to swelling in the sinuses.
Later, the drippity drop of mucous may also make morning sickness and nausea worse. Yay.
If constantly dabbing at your nose with a kleenex is irritating the skin around it, grab some gentle lotion or chapstick and apply it to the affected areas during your bedtime routine.
Why Does Everything Taste Either Incredible or Incredibly Awful?
Suddenly your fruit salad from the deli tastes like it has been seasoned with an entire shaker of salt and your tongue is on fire after eating licorice and all you can think about at 3 a.m. is that can of Spaghetti-Os in the pantry. Why does this happen in early pregnancy? It's probably safe to chalk it up to rapidly changing hormones, but no one really knows for sure. The good news is that food aversions usually disappear in the second trimester.
A Sudden Intolerance for Smoke and Caffeine
Smells or tastes that you once enjoyed can suddenly send your stomach lurching thanks to a shift in hormones. Your body may become more sensitive to things like caffeine and nicotine, which may cause you to shake, sweat, and feel nauseous.
Why Am I Suddenly Gagging and Nauseous? Is It Morning Sickness?
Thank that sweet, sweet estrogen for the combination of a heightened sense of smell and lovely nasal drainage for this unpleasant symptom.
To ease early pregnancy nausea, eat a hearty, bland breakfast as soon as you wake up and try to squeeze a brisk walk in before you head out to work or school. You can also replace your regular minty toothpaste with a milder flavor to reduce gagging and vomiting while brushing your teeth.
Everything Is Exhausting
Sleepiness in the week leading up to your period is totally typical, especially if you haven't been getting enough Zs, exercise, or iron. But if you're worn out just from curling your hair and looking for any opportunity to plop down on the couch and stare off into space, there's a chance pregnancy is the cause.
Gulp extra water and indulge in those staring-off sessions—growing a human is exhausting.
Why Can't I Catch My Breath?
Huffing and puffing walking up the steps to your apartment? This is a feeling that will follow most women through their entire pregnancy, but can be especially alarming (and annoying) in the beginning, when the body requires more oxygen to grow the embryo.
Feeling Down, Anxious, or Just Plain Off?
This is a tricky, vague symptom of early pregnancy that can be attributed to premenstrual symptoms or just being human. However, if you suddenly find yourself in tears over a toilet paper ad or fuming about something a friend said on Facebook when you're typically stoic it might be a good idea to check the calendar to see where you're at in the two week wait.
Your Sense of Smell Is Totally Out-of-Control
Did you just smell your partner walk in the door all of the way from the upstairs bathroom? If you're pregnant, you can blame (that's right, say it with me) estrogen for your heightened sense of smell. From roses to ravioli, everything is going to start smelling much stronger, sometimes for the better but usually for the worse.
Time to start opening some windows.
Why Am I So Gassy?
It's no secret that gas and increased flatulence is a symptom of pregnancy, but for many women, it can be one of their first clues to the impending changes. That's because the surge of progesterone that happens when you conceive relaxes your body's muscles as it prepares for childbirth. This can result in a some sneaky little slips. Whoops!
Why Am I Peeing All the Time?
Suddenly, your bladder seems to have shrunk to the size of a peanut and you're running to the bathroom all the time. Extra blood flow to a pregnant woman's kidneys causes an increase in the production of urine, up to 25% more. Figure in the increased pregnancy hormone levels and you'll understand why you had to get up to pee eight times last night.
It'll likely stop during the second trimester, but it'll likely start again during the third. Don't stop drinking fluids, just think of the extra trips to the bathroom as exercise.
Your Breasts Hurt and Look Larger, Fuller, or Darker
One of the first signs of pregnancy is changes in the breasts. This can include darkening and deepening veins (like a roadmap on your chest), darker and larger areolas, and of course, soreness and pain, especially on the sides around your armpit areas and even leading down into your upper arms.
This totally uncomfortable symptom occurs because breast tissue is sensitive to progesterone, a hormone that's released in a woman's body when she becomes pregnant. It's also the reason many of us experience breast discomfort and pain before our periods, when progesterone surges.
Do Cramps, Back Pain, and Lower Abdominal Pain Mean You're Pregnant?
Cramps, twinges, and pains in your lower back or on one side of your lower abdomen can indicate implantation. Each month when you ovulate, your eggs are released from either the tube on the left or the right, sometimes causing soreness. Pain in your back and lower stomach area can indicate a fertilized egg attaching to the uterus.
Cramping will likely continue in the first few months of pregnancy as the uterus expands for your growing baby. To ease the pain, forego over-the-counter pain relievers which can be harmful, and instead take a warm, relaxing bath to take your mind off those twinges and pangs.
Totally Unexplained Dizziness, Vertigo, or Lightheadedness
Feeling like you just stepped off a roller-coaster after vacuuming or getting up off the couch too quickly can be an early sign of pregnancy. While the nausea and vomiting may never come, the dizziness is just as yucky.
As your hormones begin to rise, blood vessels relax and widen, contributing to those freaky dizzy spells of early pregnancy.
Dramatic and Melodramatic Mood Swings
Did you lose your cool in the parking lot? Did a song on the radio trigger a torrent of tears? Who knew that it was humanly possible to laugh and cry at the same time? The pregnant woman did, that's who.
Changes in metabolism and hormone levels can affect neurotransmitters, the brain chemicals that regulate mood. When a woman gets pregnant, estrogen and progesterone start playing her mood like a violin.
More Questions About Early Pregnancy Signs
Does your pee turn dark yellow or orange during pregnancy?
You probably just haven’t been drinking enough water. Although dehydration can be a sign of pregnancy, it can also just be a sign that you need to drink more water!
My mouth tastes metallic, like it's full of loose change or like I've been sucking on spoons. Yuck. Is that a sign of pregnancy?
Dysgeusia, a distortion of the sense of taste, is a common early symptom of pregnancy. It can affect the taste of the food you eat but may be experienced even when you're not eating.
What's that stuff in my underwear? Is that normal?
Seeing an increase in white or clear vaginal discharge (leukorrhea) is a normal symptom of early pregnancy.
What if I'm feeling nauseous before my period is due?
Nausea is an early sign of conception, but it's also a common PMS symptom, so you'll have to wait to find out what your hormones are telling you!
How early can you detect signs of pregnancy?
Some women feel different right away, but you can't know for sure until you take that pregnancy test.
So If You Feel Weird, Are You Pregnant?
You'll have to wait two weeks to take a pregnancy test to know for sure.
Should You Avoid Anything in the Two Week Wait?
If you suspect you may be pregnant, here are some things to hold off on until you can test and find out for sure:
- Consuming Alcohol This should be pretty obvious but it's also highly (and hotly) debated as to whether this "rule" is really necessary. Suffice to say, most doctors advise against consuming alcohol during pregnancy as doing so can harm a growing fetus.
- Smoking If it's not good for you, it's certainly not good for a wee one!
- Caffeine Some doctors will okay a small intake every day (like a small morning cup), but caffeine can also trigger unpleasant reactions like dizziness, sweating, and lightheadedness.
- Aspirin and Ibuprofen Neither are considered safe during pregnancy unless recommended by a doctor.
- Deli Meats and Soft Cheeses Lunchmeat and soft cheeses (like feta and blue cheese) can carry listeria, the bacteria that causes listeriosis. Though contracting listeriosis—a food-borne infection—isn't necessarily life-threatening in a healthy person, it can cause miscarriage because fetuses are much more vulnerable to illness and infection than healthy adults.
- Scooping Cat Litter Besides the smell of the ammonia in cat urine being totally gross, cat feces contain the parasite that causes toxoplasmosis, another disease that can prove fatal to a growing baby. If you can't get out of this chore, just make sure to wash your hands really well afterward. (Hey—you should be doing that anyway!)
- Saunas, Hot Tubs, and Hot Baths Excessive heat can cause a growing baby to develop birth defects because baby can't regulate his/her own body temperature. So while you can cool down quickly, baby can't. A good way to judge the water temperature is to make sure that your skin isn't turning pink. It's also a good idea to let your limbs drape out of the tub.
When Is the Best Time to Test for Pregnancy, and What is the Best Way to Test?
The pregnancy hormone HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) isn't detectable until at least two weeks after conception—basically around the time of your missed period. Conception happens at the time of ovulation and most women ovulate two weeks before their period. While some early detection pregnancy tests claim to be able to tell you earlier than that, your best bet is to wait a day after you expected your period to test. Hey, pregnancies tests aren't cheap, and taking one too early may result in a false-negative. But if you can't wait to start indulging on your POAS addiction, grab a month's worth of tests (called internet cheapies or IE's) for the same price as one name-brand test. I used these when I was trying to conceive and they're helpful for just easing your mind one way or the other as you wait for your period to arrive, without breaking the bank.

I've known I was pregnant each time because I suddenly start smelling chemicals in EVERYTHING. It usually starts in the shower. What I've always thought smells great, my shampoos, conditioners and body wash, suddenly smells like harsh chemicals trying to be covered up with air freshener. You know how a pool smells when someone's added too much chlorine. It's awful. Then it spreads to my taste. Even bottled water starts tasting like harsh metals, like I'm chewing on aluminum foil or licking my fingers after counting change. Yuck. But that's usually how I know. After that I swell up. I know your ankles aren't supposed to swell until then end of pregnancy but mine swell up immediately. Before I even get a positive on a pee test. It subsides during the 2nd trimester then comes back again at the very end.

Hi. Im already 9 days late. My expected period is supposed to be last aug 5. I always get my period on time but mostly after 21 to 22 days only. The maximum is 25 days. I had a white discharge which I usually have before having my period. I tried taking a test and it's positive. 1 line is dark pink and the other one is light. I don't know if it's correct because after I pee in it i turn it upside down because in the direction It shouldn't put like that. After that I don't have any white discharge anymore. I have a little but most of the time I don't have which is very new to me because I usually have a white discharge every day. I don't feel any symptoms of pregnancy except from having a painful breast but not too much and slight cramps on my lower stomach. Until now Im not having too much white discharge. Is it possible that the first result is incorrect?

- I was ovulating from 6/12-6/19
- On 6/20 and 6/21 I was spotting and had brown discharge (a lot) that lasted only a few hours both days. I have never experienced this.
- I now have had a weird sore throat for the last two days that feels like I'm getting sick but I'm not getting any worse.

- I have had constant tingly cramps in my stomach since the spotting.
- My expected period is 6/30
- I have taken 3 pregnancy tests and all negative.
Does this sound like implantation bleeding and possible pregnancy? Any advice will be great. I have been googling way too much and I need real advice from real women. Thank you so much!
I been having cramping under my stomach for the past 2 days what does this mean
Ok... so my periods are pretty regular never more than a day late. I use a period tracker app to know when my next menstrual cycle should start. On May I failed to check my fertile days and ended up being intimate on my fertile days. I used the morning after pill because I am not trying to conceive and the condom broke on us. so when my period was due I had very light spotting that lasted around 3 days now that is June I am 5 days late with no PMS symptoms. I had a home test done and was negative. With my 1st born I had 3 months no period with negative test. when I finally went to see a doctor blood work came back positive and therefore I swore I was about 3 month pregnant but ultrasound shown almost 8 month far. my first sono was on November and second on December and I gave birth on January. I am wondering if anyone else has experienced this before. A pregnancy with no symptoms? Can someone still get pregnant after taking the plan B pill?
Okay I'm starting to have signs of getting my menstrual early like big red pimples and I know I might be getting my menstrual early last month I only got it for 5 days and me and my fiance had sex we're trying to get pregnant could there be a possibility that I might be getting my menstrual early that maybe I could be ovulating at this time because I'm having symptoms of getting the minstrel early

No cramps or pain. It was moderate bleeding with very few and tiny clots but wasn't heavy then turned into brown discharge then stopped out of the sudden on May 19 (evening)..
May 20, no bleeding, I woke up with my nipples were sore to touch.
May 21, 22, no bleeding, my nipples weren't sore anymore but I felt like weird, like a bit gassy and slightly felt like to gag but didn't vomit.
May 23, I took one urine pregnancy test (evening) didn't use morning pee, it is said negative.
May 24, no bleeding, still felt gassy.

When I go to the bathroom, sometimes when I wipe theres a small amount of blood on the toilet paper. Also, my mouth is super dry even when I drink water it doesnt help. My period starts in like 4 days. Are these signs I could be pregnant?
So my period is usally pretty regular, heavy, bright red, and lasts 5-7days. My last period was light, light brown, and 4 days. Now I've gotten my period a week early. But its more like spotting and again light brown with a hint of red. My period has never been like this in the 14 years ive had it. Am i pregnant?

hi am having left pelvic pain and back pain when i lay down on my back after ovulation sometimes back hurt alot when am sleeping and its been 2 days i have pelvic pain
Hi, I had sex on my ovulating day April 13th (which I didn’t realize until after). I immediately noticed when i check my period tracker, since then I have been going to the bathroom to pee a lot even poop ( I know tmi but it could be helpful). During the first 2 weeks I was cramping way more than usual not to painful but it was there. I decided to get a early detection test and test 4 days before my expected period (April 23rd) but it was negative. I tried again the day after my expected period (April 28th) still negative. It has been driving me crazy and now I have started spotting very light bleeding not heavy on May 3rd (7days after my expected period) along with a sore throat. I don’t know what to expect because I have read so many things saying it could be late implantation bleeding, who knows. But I have been having many of the pregnancy symptons nausea, cramps, darker breast, more trips to the bathroom. I haven’t tested again, Should I try again?
Yes I feel weird

I really appreciate the article you put together, Kierstin! It does have me a tad freaked out, though, haha. I recently had sex without recognizing that it was during my time that I was most likely get pregnant, and now I'm dealing with a super nasty cold, and a sore, scratchy throat -- both are things that I never get. I have also been having tight stitch-like pains on my lower right abdomen. It's the type of pain where you don't feel like you can stretch it, you know? And then mild back pain on my lower right side. The other day I was feeling a bit nauseous, extra thirsty, and incredibly hot too while I was in my biology lab (I'm 24, but I'm a senior in college). Lastly, lots of tummy rumbling, like extra gas is moving around but nothing really comes out. I was definitely not actively trying to have a child at all, in fact, it was the last thing on my mind, but if I am I will happily accept this blessing from God.
Hi my PM's date is tomorrow.unprotected and feeling Brest pain soreness and lower abdomen pain from 5 days and eating too much does it mean pregnancy r pms
My cycles are 31-34 days. I do have irrregular periods so its not posible for me to have an exact date ever. I got my last periods on March 4. We had unprotected sex on March 18th and March 25th. During March 25th intercourse, we noticed very slight pink spotting. It wasn't red but just a light pink. Not sure if that was implantation bleeding or ovulation spotting or nothing. I was meant to get my periods 3 days ago. I tested yesterday and it was negative. I feel tired, rapid heart rate, loose stomach, lightheaded like i am in a daze. Am i pregnant?
Thank you for responding so quickly ❤️
I had a beta hcg yesterday. Its a negative
Hi. According to my period app, im 7days late. I have pcos and have had 2 failed ivfs last year.
I had an early miscarriage in December 2017. I am 28yrs old
Still ttc naturally..
My cycles are irregular and since im 7days late (as per my period tracking app) im not sure if im pregnant. I have had dizzy spells recently, vagina was very dry and am having sharp pains in my left buttock region (pelvic area) today. Could these be early pregnancy signs? Pls answer asap :)
Hey guys ive never been pregnant before. I had sex last actually about a month ago. I haven't done a test yet didnt want too. Im feeling very weird i mean by that is i have been having a very dry mouth almost like im dehydrated but im not very very sleepy to where im at work dragging horribly. No nausea or puking but also been having dizzy spells when i squat at work and get back up. Bad lower back pain lots of bloating where i look pregnant. Just all around a weird feeling. Someone tell me plz whats happening.
I "messed around" but did not have penetrative sex 2 days before my expected period. My period arrived on the day it was expected but was unusually short and light and I didn't cramp very much which is unusual. I am also on birth control. Is there any way I could be pregnant since I am on birth control and there was no penetration? I feel like i have had some pregnancy symptoms but might just be freaking myself out. Thanks!
On December 14 2017was my last period a month a half later I found out I was pregnant on February 12 2018 I had a miscarriage bleed that whole one week after the bleeding stop me and my husband had sex and haven’t yet received my period plus I been taking over the counter prenatal vitamins and took about 6 pregnancy test out of the first two were negative than the other 4 were positive with the faint line and now it’s the end of March so do this mean that i’am pregnant.
I’ve been on my birth control pill for a year and like four months now this previous week I missed my pills I had a lot going on and forgot to take them for 5 Sydney straight I regularated myself back to normal but I’ve been really hungry lately and when I woke up this morning my nipples were really sensitive and when I wasn’t cooking I couldn’t stand the smell of the meat could I be pregnant I don’t start my period for almost week and a half but also in the time I forgot to take my birth control pills I had unprotected sex and he came in me what are my chances I’m pregnant....
THANK YOU I WILL TAKE ANOTHER TEST THIS WEEK BUT MY DATES ARE CRAZY BECAUSE I ACTUALLY HAD MY PERIOD TWICE IN THE MONTH OF FEB. AT THE BEGINNING AND THE END OF THE MONTH BUT ONE WAS SUPER LIGHT AND THE OTHER WAS REALLY HEAVY
My period was April 20- March 3rd. I have irregular periods I've tried various birth control I had started new birth control on april 20th but it kept making me bleed more so I had stopped taking them. Which i hadn't had birth control in two months. After I stopped takign them my boyfriend and I decided to try to concieve. On the 20th of march I started having nausea,cramps,swelling of hands and feet, dizziness,lower back pains, slight constipation in which the nausea and cramping I usually start getting before my period comes on with some uterus pain(the shedding) but I didn't experence the pain at all. My boyfriend has been kind on and off sic with headaches too. I'm now 5 days late. i took a test when i was 1 day late it was negative. but i'm still having symptoms should i wait until next week to take another test or go to the doctor
I been having cramps , nausea , and shortness of breathe , and extreme lower back pain , joint and muscle pain , and pain on my lower right side and it then went to he left lower side of my stomach , can I Be pregnant ? Last year I was exposed to a std (ghonarea) back in October can that be the reason why I can’t conceive concieve ? And I’m not on birth control and don’t use protection with my partner .
I had un protected sex 4 days ago (March 16) I have been feeling normal but today I am especially anxious and worried if we did not get it out on time (which I think we did) also have been peeing a little more frequently. I use the MyCycles app, my average cycle is 32 according to the data I have entered into the app. My ovulation window says it was from march 8 to march 14. My previous period was on feb 24 until march 2. And my next period is supposed to be march 29, although somethimes comes a few days before or after what the app says. Am I worrying too much or is there a good chance I could have gotten pregnant?
Normally my period heavy from day one to three and from day four it light to day seven. This month, day one was light, day two was heavy and from day three to five my period was light. According to my app I'm ovulating in two days, I'm constantly tired, and can sleep all day. I'm constantly light headed and can't walk to the gate of the complex without getting out of breath. My boobs sore on the side that I can't even wear a bra. With certain smells I can't take and can smell certain things from a mile away. Could I be pregnant?
Hi, I last had sex few days after my period, 6 days after sex I’m feeling really sick, with back pains, feel like vomiting, mouth taste, I just feel like I’m pregnant already,,, can I do the home test? Even though my period is 5 days away?
Hi i had unprotected sex two days before i ovulated and a day after i ovulated a week later im feeling like im finna faint my head spinning and it feel like i gotta throw up what can be the issue
I have a sex just before my periods and I also take contraceptive pill just after the next day of penetration and till now I didn't get my periods. Can I get pregnant??
implantation bleeding. It helps that I'm super in touch with my body, and with my cycle.
I was Spotting on the 10th day after my ovulation and before my period. I’m 10days delayed right now. I took pregnancy test 3times but the result was negative. Do you have any idea whats happening?
Hello, I started my period on February 12 and I had unprotected sex with my husband on the 15th and the 18th, and I got off my period on the 18th. I have been having bloating, slight sore throat in the morning, constant nausea, everything I smell makes me sick to my stomach, I have had slight cramping, and my breast feel larger. I am really exhausted and really moody for no reason. I took a pregnancy test on Tuesday but it was negative, I was kind of disappointed, I figured i should wait to see if my period comes and re-test, what do you think?
I am experiencing pregnancy symptoms and now that I’m getting closer to my cycle time not so much what does that mean
