    Unfortunately they are so alike there’s really no way to know for sure until you get a positive test. If your period is due on Sunday you may be able to test if you are anxious. If not wait and if your period doesn’t come take a test.

    Good luck.

    You can very well still have a chance this month, unfortunately there is no real way to tell the difference until you get a positive pregnancy test. I know how you feel, I’m in the same boat. Good luck to you!

    good question =) I am like you 10 dpo , and waiting until monday morning to test, sometimes pms mimic pregnancy symptom they look alike a lot that sometimes you can think you are having your period and you could be pregnant, good luck and baby dust.

    I was going to ask this same question! I’m 11 DPO and slight pain in *******. I had an IUI this month so I’m really hoping it worked. Baby Dust to you.

    This time around I really thought my period was going to start any day until the day I took the pregnancy test. All my symptoms were just like they are when its that time of the month. I was shocked to find out that I was pregnant.
