How can i tell the difference between pregnancy symptoms and period symptoms?

Difficult: It is often difficult to separate them as they are both associated with hormonal changes. In doubt, proceed with a pregnancy test and avoid potential teratogenic medicines and/or habits until you know that you are not pregnant.

Easy: If you are having unprotected sex, you may be preganant. A simple urine pregnancy test is inexpensive and will tell you if you are pregnant. If your periods are regular, you should be able to track your cycle, and if your period comes regularly, than you are not pregnant. You should see a gyn dr. To get a good exam, be put on birth control, and educated on pregnancy and menstruation. Good luck.
