Symptoms Too Early?

How early is too early to have symptoms like nauseousness, constipation etc... I feel crazy like I have symptoms but then that maybe they are all in my head! My PMS symptoms since mc have been more intense but these symptoms I think are too early to be PMS and too early to be pregnancy! This hopeful mama is feeling cra-cra! My DH says we can test Wednesday. My AF is due Thursday or Saturday (things have been a bit of a guess since the mc)... I'm so hopeful... But nervous! Anyone feeling the same?

    The general opinion around here is that if there is enough HCG in your system to cause pregnancy symptoms, there is enough HCG in your system to turn a pregnancy test positive.  If you don't have a positive test, your symptoms are likely not due to pregnancy.

    I definitely get constipated from progesterone, which is the predominant horomone during your luteal phase, and also causes most of the symptoms of PMS.  Since for most people the luteal phase is about 2 weeks long, you'd be about 1 week into it, and therefore it is not too early to be having symptoms due to progesterone (assuming you actually ovulated when you think you did).

    I didn't know that! I will keep watch. I've had waves a nauseousness and tender breast (which I know can be due to other things)... My AF hopefully won't come but we shall see in time! I've said it before but I hate the wait!

    I feel the same way you do!  DH and I just had the same conversation too.  I haven't had a period since my miscarriage 11/6 and so I have been waiting for my period.  I ovulated sometime between Sunday and Tuesday (11/29-12/1) which means my period should be starting early next week.  Late last week I started having lower back pain and breast sensitivity, not quite as much as I did when I suspected I was pregnant but definitely feeling how I felt early before.  I took an early result test last night and had a very very faint like that could have possibly just been an evap line.  I'm planning on testing again Tuesday or Wednesday if I can wait that long.  Hope you get your rainbow baby you deserve and know you aren't alone!

    Thank goodness I'm not alone. It's insane and I'm so scared it's all in my head... But we shall see! Thank you for your well wishes! I'm so sorry for your loss and I'll keep you in my thoughts! Hopefully we both find out we are expecting as an early Christmas gift!
