Random question - is this PMS?

[HoneySpider]

Ugh, how frustrating. I have had several cycles where I had unusual symptoms and swore I was KU. Then this cycle just my regular pre-AF stuff. So who knows!

[urbancowgirl]

I feel your frustration. My nipples were super sensitive last week, so I thought AF was on her way. However, this week they're back to normal and no sign of AF.

I'll second the exhaustion. I have been so wiped out this past week I poas just to prove to myself I wasn't a freak case that had a "period" or decidual bleeding and then still ended up being pg. I've been going in and out of extreme nausea this week too. (Obviously -hpt, duh) But there it is again; everything and nothing is a symptom most of the time :/

I'll say this to the areolas query: when there is increased blood-flow (like after a shower or exercise) mine appear larger too. As do my boobs in general. I (like you) have a job that makes me exercise a lot. Yet I've only noticed this recently...because now I notice everything.

Bleh.

I read somewhere that the darkening areolas and increased sized was only a pregnancy symptom and not a PMS symptom, but it's the internet so you never know!

I've had crazy nipple/aureola changes on cycles where I've been a week or 2 late. They can happen from hormone imbalance.

But, I also had them before I got the bfp. It could go either way.

When's your period due?

[winecheery]

I of all people appreciate how unhelpful what I'm about to say is, but you just have to wait.

Wait for AF, or wait to get more telling symptoms that would line up with being pg. Or just poas now and ease your mind. But mostly, I'd say wait.

NO clue. This is my first cycle off of Mirena.

-I had mirena removed 9/17
-AF 9/18 for 3 or 4 days
-2 weeks later another AF for 2 or 3 days

If the first period WAS NOT removal bleeding than assuming a regular cycle I should have gotten my period yesterday or today.

If the first period WAS removal bleeding and the second was actually my period then I am due in about 2 weeks.

I would test in a week and every week after.
