Newbie with a question

[lilmidget865]

Hi guys, my name is Danielle, I am new here Here is my story....my last af was on January 20th, I O'd on Feb. 3rd, bd'd on Feb. 2nd (about 2 times with the pull-out method) and on the 5th multiple times (using the pull-out method again). I know that we were stupid for doing it multiple times because of pre-ejac. but we did, knowing there was a chance of pg. Anyway, here I am 10 dpo and since last night I have had af cramps. Real af cramps, not just normal uncomfort. My boobs are sore off and on and tender to go along with this. Well, af isn't due until Saturday. Aside from the cramps I am really gassy (sorry if TMI) but it's from both ends, yesterday I was burping up a storm! I am so confused. What do you ladies think? How can I have such intense af symptoms with af days away?

Sometimes I get intense AF/PMS symptoms: nausea and vomiting, sore breasts, gassy and extreme fatigue. I was so nauseated (complete with salivation, dizziness, etc) last time I was sure I was pregnant. Unfortunately PMS symptoms can be exactly the same as pregnancy symptoms.

I hate that PMS and PG symptoms are so closely related. The only thing that is really making me wonder is the cramping. I usually get these cramps right as I start bleeding. I have a ds and with him I remember my first sign was the cramping. I thought I was getting my period, and it never came. AF isn't due until Saturday so this is really driving me nuts.
