lack of PMS symptoms... can this be a pregnancy symptom?

Re: lack of PMS symptoms... can this be a pregnancy symptom?
Nice try, Nikki. I don't believe for one second that you went to law school. I also don't believe loooots of other things you have said. But, hey, we all have opinions, right?
Obvious =/= outstanding or prominent. What is your doctorate in?
And if the facts are prominent then she should have included them since they are important...... Try again.
Law - I have a Juris Doctor. I guess it is a matter of interpretation whether obvious = outstanding or prominent - If I had a prominent nose - it would mean to me that it was the largest part of my face = my nose would be obvious.

TEAM ATL.
TEAM LOPES.
Umm I did not hear any "complaining" in that. She stated facts. Exaggerate much?
Aaaaand another reading comprehension FAIL. The emphasis of my statement is on irregular.
Right but it wouldnt be prominent bc it was obvious,it would be prominent because it is largest feature on your face, but bc it is on your face it would also be obvious. Correlation, not synonomous. If one of my breasts were larger than the other and I wore a prosthetic so you couldn't tell the larger breast would still be the prominent one,it just wouldn't be obvious because you can't tell.......
not trying to show off - I don't practice anymore - Just trying to defend the op because it makes me sick to read the attacks on people EVERY DAY!! Why would my level of education be showing off? I didn't say that I live in a mansion because I have a doctorate... that would be showing off.
Also - I really don't hear my doctor refer to herself as having a doctorate - but she does... I don't get your point. Do you mean because we don't say Dr. Smith when we are lawyers?

You must have mistaken me for someone who cares what you believe.

I agree with you - don't know how I get sucked in EVERY time...

Why bring it up if not to show off? What was the point of saying it?
You are the reading comprehension failure - because the point that you were making was that she was complaining about her irregular periods - whether your emphasis was on "irregular" does not negate the fact that you said she was complaining when she was not.

That is a very good analogy - I see your point. I agree with your reasoning on that one - I still say that it could be subjective how it is used.

OMG I can't believe you guys are fighting about this, but I have to jump in here, Nikki.
If you're talking about physical characteristics then yes, a prominent anything might also be obvious to others. But the word prominent was used to refer to medical history. My doctor asks me about prominent background information...meaning important, noteworthy, etc. If it's something intangible, prominent =/= obvious. If it did, my doctor wouldn't have to ask me anything.
But clearly Patty was using the definition of salient as relevant and most important. Which that fact was. If her cycles were always 28 to early 30 days we could say well maybe you O'd late and you have no way of knowing. Had she said upfront sometimes they are 60 some days we could have told her that,or that maybe she was having an annovulatory cycle and since she has 60 some day cycles before she needs to wait it and discuss them with her doctor now that she is TTC. Advice differs based on information provided. And clearly by stating what days she banged it out but not all her cycle info, OP was fishing.
Well, she certainly wasn't joyful about it, was she? My point still stands. That is NOT an irregular cycle length, and we can't tell her if she is pregnant.
Agreed. I really don't want to argue over this anymore - I will admit that the only reason I posted anything about the word salient was to try to be b!tchy because I hate that people get attacked for no good reason all the time and I was trying, albeit not so well, to let people see how it felt to be attacked for no good reason. Then - I wound up getting attacked for no good reason - as usual. I guess it is hopeless - people are what they are.

Overlooking everything else that happened in this post, because frankly it made my already foggy head hurt worst, this is for the op:
To answer your question, when I was KU with my son, I didn't have any sort of PMS symptom, I had nothing in fact. With my m/c in April, I felt like AF was coming any moment. Each pregnancy is different, even for the same person. So your question is rather irrelevant, because something that may not be the case for you, maybe for another person. The only way you will know is to POAS and get a BFP.
If you go into your doctor's for blood work, it is useless and you are waisting everyones time. Please wait until you get to 60 days w/o a period or BFP before going in.
Finally, if you are going to jump all over people because you did not put all the valuable info, this may not be the place for you. Big girl panties are a must on here. We don't mean to flame newbies but when you see the same question for the 100th time in 3 days and you are dealing with yet another problem in your TTC journey, it is not always easy to stay nice. Stick around a bit, and you will get it.
Oh, no no, I knew why you said that. Which is why I responded. You attacked Patty and for what? You weren't attacked "for no good reason" you were attacked because you were doing exactly what you are complaining about. Pot meet kettle. It would behoove you to stop being a martyr, no one here thinks its becoming.
Exactly - I just said that. I said that I only attacked her to try to show what it was like to be attacked for no good reason. Calling me a liar about whether I have a doctorate was not germane to the original argument, that is why I said I was attacked for no good reason. I am hardly being a martyr - if I was I would not still be here. I would have posted and run.

Annnnd I'm done because you are also obviously confused on the definition martyr.

You stating that you "have a doctorate" had nothing to do with the original argument. Do I think you are a liar? Yes. Was it relevant to the OP? No. Was it relevant to your own statement? Yes.
And, umm, do you know what a martyr is?
I do know what a martyr is - are we going to argue about that now too?
The only reason why I mentioned that I had a doctorate was because intelligence was being called into question - regarding whether I knew the definition of salient without Google. I was defending myself. Also, why do you find it so difficult to believe that I have a doctorate - do you think that only people without a doctorate post on here?

You must have been reading my mind because I was just going to post that just because I am a lawyer and have a doctorate doesn't mean I am necessarily smart but I appreciate the assumption that I was 'showing off'.
It really is dumb. I apologize for all the drama - can we just get over it and move on? I was wrong - I shouldn't have said anything about salient...

Now THIS is an all-time TTGP low. Arguing about the true definitions of words and whether or not having a doctorate means something. I think it's time for me to bust out an old favorite:
