Stuffy nose?

[mom2one]

I've noticed a lot of other women with the same symptom. I've had a stuffy nose with no sore throat, sneezing etc, for about a week. Is this a common occurance in early pregnancy? I've had LOTS of cramping though, almost every day since ovulation, which is very unusual for me unless right before AF. I'm worried AF will show. Is that a common symptom as well, or am I just going wacko!?

Hi there! What dpo are you?
I've heard that a stuffy or runny nose (or cold like symptoms) can be a sign of pregnancy ~ but I can't say for sure!
I've got my FX for you!

I'm either 15 or 19 DPO tomorrow. (My cycles are completely irregular and I don't use OPK's, I'm only going by what I believe to have been Ovulation Bleeding.)

Me three! I have been trying to look through threads to see if those ladies with stuffy noses AND continuous post-ov cramping turn out to be the ones with BFPs or not, but I'm having no luck finding any now I am looking!

Maybe its just that having stuffy noses is a very common thing eg usually 1/4 people will have it, and usually wouldnt much notice but we are obsessing over any potential symptom?? Fingers and toes crossed for us though! I am testing tomorrow so I'll let you know my outcome!!

 

[mom2one]

I have a doc appt tomorrow, I was going to ask them to do a test as well. I'll let you all know! I have been symptom spotting like crazy, I really think I am so I hope I'm not in for a disappointment!

I had a stuffy nose with all 4 of my pregnancies, body is creating more mucous...

Also cramping, totally normal, that was my number 1 sign everytime, that is what always made me test. I rembember with my first pregnancy thinking for sure AF would be coming and early based on those feelings but nope was pregnant So with my second, third and fourth I KNEW as soon as I felt those cramps.

So there is hope, lots of baby dust your way. I am hoping for a bfp late next week & am starting to cramp & hope they stay as it's a good sign for me. Fingerscrossed..

Interesting. The day before I may have O (not sure which day) I started sneezing a lot. I don't have allergies so not that. Sneezing continued for a few days, had a runny nose and stuffy nose off and on. One day for a couple of hours I had a scratchy throat. I didn't take anything to get rid of this and its gone ? I now have a really bad UTI at 5-8dpo so fingers crossed. I had one in June/July when pregnant.

Interesting! I can't wait to see, I was thinking about going to the hospital and asking for a quantitive hcg.. you know.. just cuz I'm THAT addicted. Ugh lol

a lot of people dont know, most of those with allergies are unaware and its usually worse in fall, not spring. if you are preggers it lowers ur immune system just at first so it could be that too! i guess this is why i do the opposite of symptom spot lol no expectations no disappointments

ME TOO! I am fine during the day but last night while I was sleeping, I kept waking up with a tsuffy nose and stuff in my throat that I couldn't clear...hope it's a sign for us all!

 

[Praying4O]

hopefully our stuffy noses is a good sign lol. i thought it was allergies i didnt kno that was even a symptom until now

Mine started last Thursday, which was either 7 or 11 DPO. I thought I felt a bit of a sore throat as well but it turns out it is strictly a stuffy nose. Absolutely NO other cold or flu symptoms. It's lasted continuosly since then. Soo weird :S

Not symptom spotting is definitely a good idea and I have been very good this cycle. Yes I know whats going on so I keep track of it and check but don't say "oh well then I am pregnant cause so and so happened". I sort of did that last time, however, this time my symptoms are a little more of the promising ones but again, I'm like, I have a 50/50 chance.

As for the allergies, I am about 99.9% sure I don't have them. I have never had this issue until now, I guess its possible to later develop them ? I don't know and if so could be that but again I still have a 50/50 shot

Well I just took a FRER and got a BFN. I have to be at least 15 DPO so I think I'm out. I'll probably try again tomorrow with FMU but it's not looking good girls

Stuffy nose was my most annoying pregnancy symptom! I had it with my 2nd son and it didnt go away till he was born. My biggest early signs were stuffy nose, feeling super aggravated for no reason(happened within days of conception), and excessive saliva in my mouth.
