The Big Thread of Early Pregnancy Symptoms

[crazyrae]

went to the doctor because I was waking up 10 times a night to pee...turns out I was perfectly healthy and pregnant!
Boobs were incredibly sore, like pre-period but worse.
I also had a very bad pain on the left side of my uterus (what I now realize was likely when implantation was occuring). Like I was being stabbed..knocked me right over...went to bed crampy... and soon found out I was expecting!

Hi Ladies

Not sure if this has been mentioned in the thread before but my cousin was telling me that the native indians (i think) knew they were pregnant cos they wore tight choker necklaces and apparently your adams apple becomes more prominent, so they knew cos the choker was too tight, strange but true apparently. I reached for my neck soon as she said it, bet you did too!

So if you are BFP your cervix is high and soft, that indicates pregnancy?

There could be some validity in this; I was watching a news program awhile back and they were talking about professional female singers and how their voices change slightly when they have their periods... not noticeable in ordinary women, but when you're a professional singer, it's noticeable.
Apparently hormones do something to your throat or vocal chords.

Ugh. The wait is driving my crazy - I keep telling myself I'm not pregnant, but I don't believe it. I've been having cramps very similar to AF for almost 3 days now, which is very uncommon for me. I only cramp the day of AF, and she isn't due until the 25th. I'm not testing unless I miss AF. The disappointment is lessened that way..

I'm not sure - my cervix was high and soft last cycle until the day before AF showed up.

just a silly question but what would it mean if your temp was high one day then went back down the next 21cd. x

It's difficult to tell from just 1 high temp - have you ovulated yet? I think you can get high temps at random points, sometimes caused by disturbed nights etc. If it stays high for 3 days in a row it can be ovulation or if already had that, triphasic which is a good (but not necessarily proof of anything) sign for pregnancy. Hope that helps - the fertility friend faqs tell you lots more about random bits like this (if you use that site)

Hi,

I'm new to this site. AF is due today for me, here are my ttw symptons so far:
CD15-Ovualted. The best +opk I've ever had on cd 15, we bd, cd8,10,12,13,15,&16.
CD20 & 21 right hand side ovary twinges and aches, as I got out of the bath a sharp pain mad eme buckle over. Blood in my nose.
CD22&23 still having aches down there a little into the middle as well now.
CD24-Very very tired
CD25- All during the night being woken by cramps and back ache convinced af would be there in the morning.
CD26 BFN
CD27- Backache and cramps
CD28 -nothing as yet although a bit of backache. Usually I have spotting for a day or 2 b4 af arrives but nothing yet, also I have never experienced these cramps unless af has arrived, even then the cramps are different.

Sounding good halfon1!!
Keep us posted - when are you going to test again?

 

[HALFON1]

I thought I would leave it until (if) af is a few days late, although I was feeling optimistic I'm not so sure now.

 

[HALFON1]

Sill no af, back ache and cramps all gone

BFN- urine was nearly the color of water tho, do you think that could cause it?

Yeah, needs to be strong urine to have the hcg in it early on - best trying with your first pee in the morning or wait a couple of hours without drinking (altho not that healthy!) to get it more yellow/concentrated
