Acne as early pregnancy sign????

[scarter1025]

Hey ladies, I am 9 DPO today, and my face is sooo broke out! I never really had pimples, even growing up. The only time my face broke out uncontrollably was when I was pregnant with my now 17 month old daughter. After she was born, I was on an antibiotic to clear my acne up. Since then...I've been acne-free! Now this cycle, for the last 4 days, I've been wicked broken out, and it's getting worse. Could this be a sign of early pregnancy? I'm not due for the until Nov. 17th. I took a FRER today, and it was a Anyone have any ideas? Thanks ladies!

Hiya again hunny, I've read that it s a sign, I too have broke out with it and it's awful. i got some younger, but I've been clear from it for years, I get them sometimes when I'm stressed but other than that, I don't normally get them! Argh if this is pregnancy, they have some ridiculous symptoms ! xxx

 

[scarter1025]

babygirl21-Yeah I would get maybe one every once in a great while, but not like this. I look like someone dragged me across the dirt and tore up my face lol. I was like this my WHOLE first pregnancy....so I'm hoping this is a good sign that I'll get that in a few days. GL to you and

Yeah I know what you mean haha! Hopefully if it is for you, you won't have it all the way through ! argh that would drive me crazy It makes me feel down on myself when I have that
I mean't to say in this in my post before, I'm sorry you tested bfn but it is still early yet hun, so plenty of time. I'm 10dpo if I ovulated right, and I really wanna test in the morning, but I'm not due af for another week or so, so I don't know when to test! arh its so confusing xx fxed for your bfp xxx

Hey Scarter

Breaking out is definitely a sign. I never ever had acne problems growing up but right around when I got my BFP I had AWFUL acne on my chest...gross i know If it's unusual for you to have it, then I would take it as a HUGE sign!!

Good luck

Hi Scarter - just wanted to say a serious break out was a sign for me. I usually get a few small zits during late PMS, but this 2ww I got two GIANT mountainous zits on my forehead and broke out all over my back around 6DPO. Judging by all the other symptoms I had, I'd guess that's when implantation started for me.

The good news is... the zits went away pretty much by 13DPO or so. And the even better news is... I finally got my beautiful BFP after 7 months of trying!!

Good luck to you girl, and tons of sticky baby dust!

When I fell with my son - I had acne from the start to finish of the preg basically.
Doctor said its hormones, so fingers crossed for you xx

Hi, I am new here!

I am supposed to start my period on Jan 15th. I am 8 days past ovulation and I am driving myself crazy. Around day 5 or 6 my face began to break out badly. I have an acne beard. Normally I get 1 zit and that is it. I am trying so hard not to be on a symptom hunt but I can't help it. I feel completely ridiculous because we just started trying. I took an EPT today ( I know I am early) but I can't help but think that there is a reason for all of my "symptoms" annnnnnd Negative. So reading the above posts did give me a glimmer of hope and sanity. Thanks!

I hope that is a positive sign for me too! My face is broke out so bad it's unbelievable. I will sometimes break out right before and during , but I am not due for that until around the 19th.

Omg I am having the worst acne ever in my life. I have 3 huge zits on my chin and yesterday I got a new one then today another one so I have a total of 5 zits on my chin and my neck Is broke out. Im not due for af for another two weeks im on cd 18 and I do normally get chin acne before. af but its normally closer like a week before af and like one or two zits. Never like this. I hope its something good

I am so glad I found this thread! My husband has been teasing me because I've been taking pregnancy tests every day since I ovulated! (now 10dpo) some will have faint lines so I take a digital which is always :BFN: I've had the WORST acne breakout of my life! it started around 7DPO. I usually get one zit here and there from time to time but this is absolutely gross. 2 huge ones on my forehead and 2 more on my neck right under my chin. I NEVER get acne on my neck! They're actually so big that theyre sore! I've been symptom hunting and making something out of nothing basically but I hope this could actually lead to a for me! I want to take another test today now that I am 10DPO but im getting tired of negatives so I might wait until 12-14 DPO. I am so excited I think I am driving my husband crazy!

I just googled this and found it! I also have acne which is different for me!

 

[danielle1984]

In my first pregnancy, that was my only symptom until I found out and lost the baby. I had acne in my face, but my back was terrible. I knew something was wrong.

My partner found a very helpful kindle book on Amazon,

I only ever get a little acne right before AF. I've heard that pregnancy can cause acne, but not of it as a sefinate sign though although I am only 6dpo and have also broken out very early plus oddly I've had acne around my areolas which is very strange. Hoping this is a gd sign for both of us
