My lower back is paining since 2 days and period is due tomorrow. Every month i get this before periods but this time it feels thoda different. So confused, anyone able to tell the difference?
Oh, I go through this exact confusion every single month while trying to conceive! The back ache makes me hope it's pregnancy, but then my period starts. It's so hard to tell the difference because both feel exactly the same until the test line shows up.
Instead of worrying and spending money on early blood tests or multiple doctor visits, just wait for 2-3 days after your missed period. A cheap home kit test will give you the answer clearly. Back pain can happen in both cases, so practical planning says wait and test at home first.
Back pain can be common in both, but if it is very severe or accompanied by any spotting, please consult your doctor immediately. I had severe lower back pain early on which turned out to be a complication, so it is always safer to get a gynac's opinion rather than guessing.
I am currently pregnant and I remember having that same confusing back ache during my waiting period. I kept checking my pad thinking it's my period, but it never came! Are you also feeling any other symptoms like breast soreness or mild nausea?
Don't stress your mind too much, dear, our bodies behave very similarly during PMS and early pregnancy. Just take a warm bath, rest well, and wait for your period date. If it gets delayed by a few days, then do a home test to know for sure.
Look, back pain alone can't tell you if you are pregnant or just getting your period. PMS and early pregnancy hormones are very similar, so both cause lower back aches. Just wait for your missed period and do a home kit test, that's the only practical way to know.
Honestly yaar, early pregnancy symptoms and PMS are practically identical, it's so confusing! I had major back pain and thought my periods were coming, but actually it was my pregnancy. Only a pregnancy test after your missed period will tell u for sure.
