Have U had these early pregnancy symptoms??? Back ache, upper stomach cramps/pulling

[wannabeprego]

Hi girls,

First off Congrats to all of you newly pregnant ladies!!!

I am in limbo land in the 2WW right now waiting for a definate BFP, and getting the faint second lines on my HPT's and not sure what to think just yet, But I am hoping that I can join all of you lovely ladies very soon!!

I wanted to ask you girls about some of your early prego symptoms...

So which ladies have stretchy cramps in your upper belly and than AF like cramps coming in waves, and twinges in like one side of your ovary or the other...And how about back aches, lower back or upper back ache??? My back doesnt hurt too bad, it is just an annoying nagging pain. I am also super bloated with swollen belly that pokes out alot more than usual. This is what is going on with me right now!! Thanks in advance for your feedback girls... I am going seriously nuts in the 2WW!!

Hey hun, if you have a faint line then u pregnant ..go get a clear blue pregnant / not pregnant to be sure xxx I had no symptoms just felt like AF was going to arrive xxx good luck

I def had the AF like cramps. I was certain she was going to show even after I finally got my BFP! The bloating for me didn't start until about 5 weeks or so. How many DPO are you now??

Thanks for responding to my thread. I have a ticker, I am on CD 25, but the OV days might be off by a day or so. My period ranges from 24 days all the way up to my longest cycle which is 33, so my period could show up at any time now.

I really feel different this cycle with my symptoms, but still dont know for sure what is going on until I can confirm it on a more reliable test or AF shows.... wish me luck...

all of the above was sure AF was coming and she didnt. Good luck xx

Thanks for your response, I didnt want to get a Digi until AF is late for sure because I know they arent as sensitve as other tests. But i will do this if AF ends up being late soon... Thanks for the suggestion...

Oh, WOW, thanks for sharing!!! That really makes me feel more porisive that this will finally be my month for my BFP!!

Yeah the AF cramps are mild, and coming in waves, like one minute nothing and than they are back, really weird, so it makes me get nervous thinking AF is coming. Than the weird upper stomach pulling/ cramping and stuff is very weird for me, I have read from other ladies and stuff on the web that it could be your uterus starting to stretch to make room for baby, I think it is like called round ligament pain or something like that...

I didn't get a good positive on a FRER until 13 DPO and I got a positive on a digi at 14 DPO. Hopefully your symptoms are a good sign! Good luck and keep us updated when you test again!

I get Af like cramps sometimes, they are never constant. They will last about 5 mins, and then go away about 4 times a day. The reason I tested and just "knew" I was pregnant, I felt this weird, cant really describe it, pulling sensation I have never felt before.

 

[Jokerette]

My first sign last week was bachache and upper cramping like you said!! I also started with faint positives but they got darker! Try a First Response Early Result and I bet youl get a pink line tomorrow!! Good luck!!!

 

[pinkbliss]

i've had AF-like cramps off and on throughout the day/night for the past 3-4 days and it started maybe 2-3 days after AF didn't show. my lower back is more constant though, and it's more of a dull-ache that just never goes away.

 

[spykey_uk]

Yes my first sign was back ache and cramping. It feels really uncomfortable and I can't get comfy wherever I sit/lie.

If you have a faint line, it sounds like you're PG to me! Good luck! x

 

[gidge]

I started getting cramping 4 days before AF was due and then the next day was tired for no reason and very bloated. i tested the next day and got a faint pink line, then a day before AF was due i did a digi and got a BFP.
Sounds like you could be to me especially if you got a faint line!
Good luck!

I had some stretching sensations lower in my tummy before I got my BFP. I'd be sleeping and turn over and feel a stetchy sensation. Hard to describe, but I'd never had the feel of internal stretching before.

Got BFP a week later

 

[wannabeprego]

Wow, thanks for all of the wonderful responses... You ladies are so awesome to take the time out to tell me about your experiences!!!

Unfortunatly today I am still in limbo land, with faint second lines..But at least AF hasnt showed yet and she could come any day now, so that is always a plus!!!!

@twig, Lastnight when I was sleeping I rolled over onto my side and felt a weird stretching sensation on my left side hip..it was very odd, and all night lastnight I was still having the cramping coming in waves, weird upper belly cramps, but no AF has come...really really weird, I am still bloated, and have been peeing alot lately... I just hope I can get some answers soon!!!

I got a clearblue digital with conception indicator test, you get two for roughly £15 and I did one a week before my af was due which was negative but then did another 4 days before my af was due roughly (I also had an irregular cycle) and it came up pregnant 1-2 weeks. I followed this up with a blood test at the Docs and it was right! I highly recommend the clearblue conception indicator tests especially if you are impatient like me!! X

 

[spykey_uk]

It does sound to me like you are pregnant as those tests are pretty accurate so even a faint line is a good sign - you just might be early on x
