Early pregnancy symptoms? UPDATE - BFP?!?!

[LaurenDC]

Hi ladies!

I'm crashing from the TWW section, so I'm not sure if I'm even allowed to be posting here...

Anyway, DH and I are in our first month of TTC for Baby #1. I have my fingers crossed because we are still pretty young (he will be 27 next month and I'm 25), both healthy, I drink occasionally (not after TTC though) and DH does not drink at all, no drugs, I've been taking prenatals for 2-3 months, DH is taking a multi, my whole family is very fertile (including my mom who got pregnant first try both times)... So we are optimistic.

Anyway, I am not temping or doing OPKs, but I have a pretty regular cycle which has been 32 days the past three times. I also get a dull aching in one ovary around CD 16 each month. So my estimate is that I am 3-4 dpo right now, and I swear I feel different from ever before. I feel super tired, I have headaches, slight cramping almost like my uterus is stretching or moving or something I can't really describe, and I have an unquenchable thirst!!!! Am I crazy?? Is there any way these are early pregnancy symptoms??

Thanks so much in advance!!! Hope to be joining you soon.

****** EDIT ******

GIRLS did any of you start with something like this?!?! Please take a look at my post from the 2WW - I have copied it here!!!! (Heart is pounding)

Could be... fingers crossed for you

 

[ilysilly]

Possibly, but right now it'd be to early to tell anything, unless when you thought you ovulated was wrong. I hope this is it though!

 

[LaurenDC]

Awww thank you both!!! I'm pretty positive I was right about when I ovulated, because I was expecting that dull aching pain in my ovary on CD 16, and that's exactly when it came, along with other ovulation symptoms.

Oh and I forgot to add anther symptom I'm experiencing - an increase in CM. Pretty thin but slightly creamy (sorry if TMI).

I'm not going to test for another 8-10 days though. It's a tough wait!!

fingers crossed girl! hope this is your bfp!! keep us posted

 

[LaurenDC]

Thank you thank you!!!

After reading so many sad stories on TTC, is it even positive to get BFP your first month TTC??

 

[socitycourty]

It's definitely possible! my sister did, with only one bd session in her fertile period!
i just got my BFP 2 days ago and did have some weird symptoms in my 2ww. I had a flare up of my IBS
Food tasted weird last week. My pasta sauce tasted like dirt. Very strange.
THe other night I had a panic attack in my sleep.
Then had cramping and figured AF was coming.

Yes - we did both times. Really hope it's a BFP for you!

I got my bfp in my second cycle, close enough to first go

I hope we get to see you posting in here due to being in your first tri in about 10 days time!

Head aches, dizziness, cramps, nausea, vomiting, pee'ing lots, drinking lots....They were my symptoms from about 6dpo!

 

[MyButterflies]

i've conceived in my first cycle all four times... very possible. lots of baby dust and crossed fingers

I have all those so far except for nausea and vomiting. Seriously I've had about 12 glasses of water already today and cannot stop drinking and peeing!!!!

Thank you all for your input and your kind words!!! Really hope to join you all soon.

hey
Well its definitely possible to get pregnant in your first month of trying
It sounds like you knew when you ovulated by your symptoms so its very possible

I knew this past month when I ovulated (day 11) without OPKs or temping and I am four weeks pregnant
So i think as long as you know when you ovulate and do plenty of BDing you could be getting your really soon xooxox

 

[LaurenDC]

Love you girls!! You are all so sweet and so helpful!!!

I am really keeping my fingers crossed. I want a baby badlyyy!!!

 

[spice isle]

Good luck hun. I am keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Congratulations to you!!! And ohhh yes - we have been BDing every other day since my AF ended!! Just to play it safe. Edited to add: Oh and every day for the three days surrounding my expected ovulation date.


Thanks ladies!!!!!!

Just an update for you sweet ladies...

Still pretty much the same symptoms... Since I got to work this morning at 8:30 am (it is 4:00 pm here), I have peed SIX TIMES and have to go again!!

Last night I was starving. DH and I ate dinner around 6:30 or 7:00. Usually after I eat dinner, I'm done for the night. However, at around 8:30 pm I was STARVING and ate some ice cream. Then 10:15 rolled around, again - starving!!! Had some lime tostitos and spicy humus (soooooo good). I kept stuffing my face til I was satisfied. Then once I was full, I still had the "I'm hungry" headache but it went away.

This morning - not really hungry when I woke up, had half caf coffee and went to work. Ate a ceral bar at 8:45 am, then another at 10:15 bc I was so hungry. Then lunch right around 12 noon. Right now I'm not starving lol but soooooo tired. However, that does tend to happen to me a bit in the late afternoon.

Might do my first test on Sunday at 11 dpo - I have three FRERs and one EPT so I can afford to spare one or two.

I keep feeling on and off sad... I know this is going to sound so selfish, but reading the posts in the TTC and TWW sections are at times extremely discouraging. There are so many women who have been trying cycle after cycle after cycle so I keep thinking there's no way I'll get my BFP so early.

Thanks for listening.

[LaurenDC]

Thank you!!!

From 6 dpo I had morning sickness... at first I thought it was the flu.. but when all of a sudden I was feeling fine later and it happened like that for 3 days in a row with no fever I took a test a week before my period was even due and it came up positive. It was even with a dollar store test! SO those could be symptoms. Crossing my fingers for ya!

Oh and about getting pregnant right away the first time... Happened to me twice with my daughter and with this one... my first we tried for 3 months.. the third month we got pregnant! SO I am very fertile..lol
