The Big Thread of Early Pregnancy Symptoms

[LoloShells]

Did any of you bfps reading this, get what ALMOST felt like sciatic pain, but wasn't? I have this pain in my lower back that kinda mirrors sciatic pain but its further in towards my spine and isn't shooting down my leg. Sciatic pain is the only thing I know to compare it to.

Isabel,

I got a bfp on a digital before AF was due Congratulations. I know how you feel though...I didn't really even feel like this was real for so, so, long. I also worried through the entire 1st trimester (but had probs with spotting, bleeding, etc.) Anyway, so, yes--it's totally possible to get a bfp on a digital before AF is due.

Congrats again. Take it easy, and treat yourself to some yummy snacks if you can, lol that helped me (eating sweets) with stress!

Thanks jelly bean... i still have af symptoms and i feel a bit shaky because a lot of thoughts are coming to my mind... i have a cat at home who sleeps with me in bed. he is healthy but still.. its not good ... so i am taking a blood test for toxoplasma to be safe...

i just cant believe it happened to me and the first trimester is very difficult.. i just hope it sticks because my DH and i have a lot to give !!!!!!!

Hello all

New here and trying for first time. Came off bc around 20th July (bad memory) had very light AF on 24th & 25th, then one spot on 29th. On holiday 30th to 8th and BD'd all week Really wasn't expecting anything to happen the first month bc of BC but date wise I think AF due around 25th Aug (yesterday)

Had these symptoms since 19th
tiredness to hyper, feeling really fruity, very weird vivid dreams and the worst indigestion which I never get!! & Dull cramps

Then on 22nd got BFN, metallic taste began, weird bubbling in my tummy and very very gassy tmi sorry, another BFN this morning!! still dull cramps but now also back ache and weird rushes of nausea, I find I go from nothing to so hungry I'm shaking in a matter of minutes (like right now)

Starting to think I'm making the symptoms occur by wanting it so much

to everyone

xx

 

[juliev85]

My symptoms were:-

-very sore boobs post ovulation but they have settled since
-broke out in spots (not normal for me)
-Slight nausea
-Lots of EWCM and then creamy CM- keep thinking im coming on period (sorry TMI)
-Totally gone off tea.
-rotten cough, cold, sore throat but could just be coincidental with the timing.

Now having pulling, aching feeling in lower abdomen. As if i've done too many sit up's if that makes sense. Back ache,Increased CM, hot flushes and tired!

We've been trying to conceive for 2 1/2 years. We haven't been able to afford any fertility testing here in the U.S. except for one transv. ultrasound that showed a thick uterine lining and one small fibroid. I would LOVE any tips and advice from those who have been successful. I plan on traveling to my home in Canada so that I can have testing done...but I'd like to try any ideas you can share before that also. Every month is heartbreaking...and I get calls every few weeks from friends who are pregnant...some for the third time. Having a baby is the only thing I wish for in life. I know I was meant to be a mother and I know that I'll adopt one day...but I really want to have just one biological child. I'm almost 35 and I feel like time is running out. Please tell me about the vitamins, supplements, therapies, etc...that helped you conceive. Thanks everyone

 

[Beauty2]

Owlandlion - Do you track your cycles? How long do you cycles usually last? Do you know when you ovulate? Do you use opk's (ovulation predictor kits)? These steps would be very helpful in conceiving.

 

[owlandlion]

Hi Beauty2! Thanks so much for your quick response!

My cycle is about 30 days. Last month it was early though. They used to be all over the place but have evened out over the last couple of years. I haven't tried the ovulation prediction kits. I'm hoping to purchase one of those electronic ones soon.

 

[Beauty2]

Yea, those kits are a life saver sometimes. It definitely helps to pin-point when Ov happens. This is my first cycle using them. However, next cycle I do plan on using a BBT therometer to be sure that I did Ov because I'm not so sure anymore. Maybe you should try that as well. You can purchase like 50 opk's on amazon.com for about $10. The same for preggo tests. But the monitor would probably be better. As much EWCM is very important so a lot of ladies use preseed. It's about $20. It works just like EWCM and it's healthy for sperm and helps to get them up to the uterus. Grapefruit juice also helps create EWCM. I tried that this cycle as well and it worked.

Um, I think that's all I know, lol. These other ladies are experts. You should visit other threads to learn more. Good luck and lots of babydust

 

[owlandlion]

WOW that is a great price on Amazon! Thank you for all of your advice. I'll look into preseed and I will definitely stop by the grocery store for grapefruit juice on the way home. I don't usually drink anything other than water but I'll give anything a try!

If anyone else has advice and tips please feel free to share. I would like to benefit from everyone's knowledge.

I'll be praying for BFP's for everyone on here too!

 

[LoloShells]

Maybe you can get your OB to prescribe you clomid? It's a miracle drug for some people, and covered by a lot of insurances. For instance I got mine for $20. Do some reading on it and if it sounds like something you want to try, ask your doctor.

 

[owlandlion]

Thank you LoloShells! I'll look into what Clomid is. Is it a drug that helps increase your chances of ovulation? I don't have any health insurance. My husband and I are both self employed and it is just SOOO expensive out here. I'm originally from Canada so I'm going there to see a doctor. I think that testing is mostly free out there and prescriptions seem to be a lot more reasonable. *fingers crossed*

 

[justask2210]

Hey everyone I hope u dont mind me joining this thread. Im currently 11 dpo since about 5 dpo iv been cramping on and of it has just started again today. My boobs are sore I normally get sore bbs when af is due but this month they are very heavy I can feel how sore they are as im walking they seem to get worse everyday. I'm due for af thursday do my chances sound good?xx

 

[owlandlion]

I've been getting this occasional mild burning feeling in my right ovary area and extending into my right hip. This is a new thing for me. Has anyone experienced this before?

 

[JennyJelly]

I've been getting a pain in my right side too but I'm only 2-3 dpo? I don't know if that's normal or not?

 

[Decafftilly]

Hi ladies,
I finished the BC in may and had four 30day cycles. This oaths I am almost four days late for my AF - have taken HPTs each day, sometimes twice and all BFN! ;-( have lots of symptoms including cramping, creamy CM, sweating, armpit pain and big blue vein leadin to nipple? Worrying that I will never get BFP?? Has anyone else had this but they then got a BFP?? Xxx

 

[Decafftilly]

Never mind - AF arrived rather painfully last night ;-(
