Every month before af comes I will break out with a few pimples on my face and back, nothing terrible but they're there! AF is due July 4th and despite all of the symptoms I've felt and have posted previously I am starting to break out, does this mean af is going to show up or can this happen even if you're pregnant? :( This waiting game stinks, HELP ME get through the next 5 days please! I guess I could test early (saturday), what do you ladies think? :eek:

It's a tricky one.... because most pregnancy symptoms are very similar to premenstrual symptoms :rolleyes:
The two suggestions I have that worked for me was:
1) Try to isolate the symptoms that seem somewhat unusual to you whether they be a symptom that you don't normally get with af.... OR a symptom that is usual but in an **EXTREME** form. eg: your breakout.... if it is extreme or unusual it may be an early prg symptom....
2) This one you may find harder.... every month I assumed I wasn't pregnant because I found that I would send myself insane looking for symptoms that weren't there OR be completely dysfunctional at work/home etc... It also was a buffer for the times that I wasn't pregnant as when I talked myself into believing I was pregnant... it took me days to recover after af arrived.
I know how hard it is so keep optomistic but make sure you give yourself a reality check once in a while.... :p You'll have a hard enough time convincing yourself you're pregnant when the test is positive!!!!

It doesn't mean anything one way or the other. I broke out pretty badly and though AF was on her way for sure but then I found out I was actually pregnant. The same hormone that causes acne before AF causes it during pregnancy (progesterone, I think).

I normally have 1 or 2 pimples show up right before AF..I found out I was pregnant on June 27th and thought that AF was going to start because I had 5!!! :eek:
