"Symptom" question

[BabyT2013]

So kinda weird question.
My husband and I decided last month that we were ready to have a baby. We are starting out just seeing what happens. When I stopped BC I started prenatal vitamins.

So here is where my question comes in. I'm on day 18 of my cycle and have only a vague suspicion that I may have ovulated this past weekend (5-6 days ago). When I started my vitamins, I feel like I had a slight increase in gas/bloating. Well in the last 24-36 hours I've had an even sharper increase in gas, to the point where I could not control the flatulation and it would just happen without me being prepared to "hold it in". This has neve in my life been a problem for me, no matter what food I eat.

Anyone that has been pregnant before experience this? Even just five DPO? Any chance it could just be the vitamins?

Just wondering I'm not expecting anyone to predict if I'm preggers or not, just curious about why I may be sooooooool gassy!

I'm in the same boat as you. I just stopped my bc at the end of last month and started taking prenatal vitamins. I am currently on CD21 and all my husband and I can do is laugh about the gas. Nothing seems to help!

Sorry I don't have any input. Good luck!

Thanks! At least I know it's not just me!

For now I'll assume it's just a side effect of the vitamins, I guess.

I was super gassy like that with my first, and I wasn't taking the vitamins at the time. But prenatal vitamins can do some funny things to your stomach, I ended up not being able to take them.

I have the same issue with ore-natal vitamins, I can only take certain brands or I have extreme gas or even nausea all day to the point I puke! My suggestion is try a couple brands of you can, if its more than one or two.. You may be into something
