Hard to judge because other life or health changes are mixing things up
undefined
What best captures your current sense of smell or taste changes?
No notable change; pretty typical for me before a period
New aversions or heightened smells that stand out from my norm
Some days I notice stronger smells, other days it feels normal
Hard to tell because recent lifestyle shifts could be affecting senses

A predictable dip that matches my typical PMS fatigue

New aversions or appetite changes that do not match my norm
A mix of familiar cravings and unexpected aversions
My diet or schedule changed recently, clouding the picture

How would you describe your nausea, if any, right now?
Rare or mild, similar to what I sometimes get with PMS
More persistent or earlier than I usually experience

Mood shifts match my expected pre-period rhythm
Mood feels different in tone or timing than I usually notice
Some moments fit PMS, others do not, making it ambiguous
External stressors or routine changes make mood hard to interpret
undefined
Which statement best reflects your current body temperature sensations?
No notable change; feels like my typical luteal phase warmth
I feel warmer or flushed in a way that is unusual for me
Some days warmer, some not; nothing conclusive
Sleep, illness, or environment shifts may be skewing temperature cues

How does your cervical mucus or discharge compare right now?
Similar to my usual late-cycle dryness or consistency
Notably different (creamier, more than usual) for this point in my cycle

Hard to assess due to recent changes like meds or hydration shifts

Hydration, caffeine, or routine shifts likely muddy the signal
undefined

Something feels new or different from my usual body cues
I notice overlapping signs that make me unsure
My routine changed enough that I cannot rely on my usual read
undefined

Schedule or stress changes are likely skewing my movement signals

Breakouts or oiliness that match my usual pre-period pattern

Not confident; signals and timing feel different than expected
Some signs align, others do not; I am moderately unsure
Recent disruptions make cycle timing unclear
undefined
What best matches your approach to taking a pregnancy test right now?

Profiles

  1. PMS Patterns Pro -

    Your score indicates classic PMS: cramps, cravings, bloating, and mood swings line up with your preperiod symptoms more than pregnancy. Quick tip: log your cycle and continue with the pms or pregnancy quiz next month to spot any changes.

  2. Implantation Investigator -

    Your light spotting and twinges around seven to ten days post-ovulation suggest implantation rather than full-on period bleeding. For clarity, revisit our implantation bleeding or period quiz in a couple of days and consider tracking with the implantation spotting quiz.

  3. Early Pregnancy Possibility -

    Missed period cues, tender breasts, heightened sense of smell, and persistent fatigue point toward early pregnancy. Take a home test or consult your healthcare provider soon to confirm your results from this pms vs pregnancy symptoms quiz.

  4. Spotting Sleuth -

    Light spotting paired with mild cramps leaves your result inconclusive - you could be experiencing either an early pregnancy or the start of PMS. Keep a close eye on your flow, retake the quiz in a few days, or track via our implantation spotting quiz.

  5. Balanced Baseline -

    Your symptoms are mild and consistent with everyday hormonal fluctuations, showing no clear lean toward PMS or pregnancy. Keep monitoring your body's patterns with this pms pregnancy quiz to catch any shifts early.
