My kamar has been aching for few days and periods are also delayed by a week. Trying to conceive so my mind is going everywhere haha. Did anyone feel back pain before they got the positive test?
Well, lower back ache can be a sign for some, but it's also a common symptom of your period coming, or just daily strain. So it's not a definitive sign by itself. I had all sorts of aches, but until I missed my period and took a test, I didn't know for sure. If you're trying to conceive, it's definitely a symptom to note, but don't take it as a confirmation just yet.
Lower back ache can be an early pregnancy symptom for some, true. But it's also very common for PMS or just general fatigue. It's not a reliable standalone indicator. If you're past your expected period date, take a home pregnancy test. That's the only way to know for sure, don't just guess based on an ache.
Lower back ache? Ha, that's like my permanent state now, even after delivery! But seriously, in early pregnancy, it can happen for some women, or it could just be period symptoms coming up. Don't stress too much yet. If you're suspecting pregnancy, a test is your best bet, not just a backache.
Many pregnancy apps list lower back ache as an early symptom, along with fatigue, nausea, and missed periods. This is because your ligaments are starting to soften. However, it's not unique to pregnancy and can also be PMS. The most accurate way to confirm is to wait for a missed period and then take a reliable home pregnancy test.
Backaches can be from so many things, not just pregnancy. Before jumping to conclusions and potentially spending on unnecessary tests, think if you've been doing anything different. If you're really worried, a simple home pregnancy test is cheaper than repeated doctor visits for just a backache. If it's positive, then you can talk to a doc.
