Why are pms and early pregnancy symptoms so damned similair?

Submitted by motormouth on Tue, 07/22/2008 - 4:09pm.

Ok, so i am super emotional, dog-dead tired, tender breasted, and strangely constipated with a tender addomen. Which sounds like ¨oh blessed day, I am finally knocked up again¨, but is actually, for me, my very same list as my pms symptoms.

I remember when i was pregnant, the first time I said anything to dh i was all like ¨my period is 3 days late, but i`m not worried about it because i have such bad pms i'm sure i'm going to blood stain my panties any minute now¨.

This is like a repetitive cruel monthly joke since my miscarriage.

This month it is even worse because in addition to the first sentence i am nauseated. I feel pukey- when i eat, or if i don't eat. No matter what i do i feel pukey. I have felt pukey since Wednesday and it isn't getting any better. So i feel a lot like being pregnant.

So it's this super head trip because i so want to be pregnant, and i so have no chance of being pregnant because we have used condoms 100 percent (without any obvious condom failure. Also when i was pregnant i could feel my cervix with my finger and it was really low and huge and hard, (hope that doesn't gross anybody out), but now it is relatively high and soft- definately not pregnant.

So i am way pmsy with nauseas that are probably caused by some bad slips in my hypoglucemic diet that i made while we were at Marineland that i haven't corrected by doing a double strict bounce back. Feeling pregnant for no damned good reason. The goddess hates me.

progesterone build up that only ends (and your period starts) if your egg is not fertilized.

wow just read your bio. pretty cool story.

well i hope your dh comes around soon and you can let up on the condoms. tell him if you wait until you are ready... you will never be ready. trust me... doesn't matter your financial standing no one's ever really ready for this amazing journey we call parenthood. and no matter the money situation... you'll make it happen.

good luck to you!
