Diarrhea at 8dpo?! SORRY tmi

[WhereisBabyL]

Been having diarrhea all night. I haven't had that in years. Is this a preggo symptom?? Anyone else have this? Also my nipples are extremely sore and sensitive and appear to be slightly darker. Too early to test? Probably...

Not sure about diarrhea, but I've read that really loose stool in general is pretty common in early pregnancy. If it were me, I'd wait a couple more days to test just to lessen the risk of a false negative...but you never know!

I've always had the opposite problem. The increase in progesterone slows your digestive system down, so constipation is common during pregnancy (and only gets worse, I'm told).

That said, pregnancy also suppresses your immune system, to some extent, so you ARE more susceptible to stomach bugs.
