Can you get any feelings way before your next period ? Or do you wait until you miss your period first? Then after you missed your period then the symptoms come on? I am confussed and I need an answer.

Some women do get some signs before a missed period, but for most the missed period will be the first sign they really notice or pay attention to.

Since many of the signs of early pregnancy can be similar to those felt before a period, it is usually best to wait and see if you actually miss a period... or if the period is unusual in some way, and try a test at that time if need be.

The first sign for most people is a missed period.. the symptoms should start right around there or a week or 2 after that. Every pregnancy is different. If you stress about it too much you might feel symptoms that aren't even there. Some symptoms are the same as PMS so they can be confusing. Just wait until the day your period is due and take a test. If you don't get your period wait 1 week and try again...
