    Am I ?
    Hi,

    I last got my periods on 09 Oct. We have been having sex everyday and since 24 Oct I've been having a real bad back ache (Lower back aches a lot, while sitting even while sleeping , earlier I never felt this but when I touch my breasts it kind of hurts. Last 2 days it was a lot and today much lesser. Have been getting little headaches also and all of a sudden started feeling very hungry... Could these by any chance be symtomps of pregnancy ? My next period is due on 06 Nov... I know its too early but :-)

    Um.. lower back pains is an early sign or pregnancy... also your breasts should plump up a little in early pregnancy and should hurt to the touch... feeling extreme hunger or eating more is just in your head... sounds to me like you probably are so good luck... :)

Also my legs (joints and below the knee) paining a lot which normally happens when I get my periods but that's not due for another week and never got these other pains... any clue??

    Maybe your period is going to start a bit earlier than the norm, or maybe you are just experiencing some PMS even though your period is a week away.

    While most of the time you will likely have pretty much the same experience each month, nature has a way of mixing things up now and then, sometimes for no apparent reason. It happens that periods will be off, or skip a month altogether. You may normally have minimum bleeding and then one month it is quite heavy. You may usually have no cramping, but then out of the blue you do. It will cause you to wonder what's up?. but in most cases it is just your body behaving differently and more of an annoyance than a concern.

    You'll still need to just wait and see what happens when your period is actually due... hard to wait and wonder, I know!

    Since you have been actively trying to get pregnant, I'd give it a week after it was due, if you can stand it... in case your period is just late. You can certainly test sooner if you want to.

    Hey Rrimz, it is rather hard to tell... from my research, these could be early pregnancy symptoms or like others have said, PMS. I'd be interested in knowing the final outcome. Also, check out my pregnancy question, as the advice might be helpful and you may have experienced similar symptoms as well.

    Well, it could be implantation bleeding which is a clear sign of pregnancy or it could be an off period and an off hormonal month. Once the bleeding completely stops, take a test. If it's negative, test again in another week if your symptoms continue.

    Let us know the results!:)

    Well, I am regular, but I did have one time in my life when I missed a period... my friend who I was always around missed hers and it threw mine off. I'm 26. So, it is possible for your body to get out of whack now and again.
    Also, if you are Trying to conceive then it is very common to have pregnancy symptoms and off hormones do to the inner desire to have a child. Your body responds heavily to your psyche.

    It's hard to say as every woman is different. As an RN in women's health I can't give you a percentage. All I can do is to recommend to you, as I do to my other patients, to wait until your period is late, about a week, and test using first morning urine.
