This is my third cycle of ttc. My period is due on Monday the 15th. I have had a lot of breast tenderness since Tuesday, but it comes and goes. I have also had cramping almost everyday since last Thursday. Heartburn has been my worst symptom. It is all day long, no matter what I eat. Has anyone else had symptoms this early? i am on day 26 of a 30 day cycle.

I don't know if i am pregnant or not but i have some ymptoms that could mean i am, and i'm not due on my period till wednesday 17th. I have looked into it and apparently the change in hormones means you can get symptoms prety much straight away after concepton, although I wish the increase in hormones would be enough to get an accurate test!

yeah I read that symptoms can start as early as 2-14 days after conception!
good luck

My period is also due to start the 17th but I don't think it will! I started the brownish spotting last night accompanied by light various cramps and bloated feeling. My boobs aren't really hurting but they seen a little swolen and my nipples are darkening a little. I have also had some heartburn. We've been trying forever and are reluctant to get our hopes up. I sware I knew over a week ago I was pregnant and my hubby thought I was crazy. It's too early to take a urine test, so the wait is killing me. Also my stomach is tighter or harder than before - does anyone else feel that - because it never seems to get mentioned? 

Name: annaliese | Date: Nov 13th, 2004 4:18 AM
YES!!! i definitley feel my tummy, below my navel is firmer than before... i hope it's not just being pre-menstrual! 

Name: Karen | Date: Nov 13th, 2004 8:34 AM
Yes, that's where my stomach is tight. I feel so bloated but it's completely different than a period. I'm also gassy. I noticed that a week ago and knew it was weird because I rarely had gas before. Annaliese, what other symptoms do you have? and Nick have you taken a urine test yet? You might be able to take an early response test today and tomorrow.

i my breasts are a little sore, and I did feel nauseous a few days ago, i'm not due a period till wednesday 17th, i don't want to get my hopes up as it may all be in my head. FINGERS CROSSED EVERYONE!!!

Karen I am due to start AF on Thurs the 18th. Today I had some slight brownish streaks when I wiped and using the bathroom. Do you really think this is an early sign of PG? Oh how I hope so! This is cycle 8 and we are so ready! How long has everyone else been trying? When are you going to test? Perhaps we can be cycle buddies and get our BFP's together!
Good Luck!

Hi Amanda, this is my third month of trying. The first month I m/c and the second month I was a week late, which had never happened befor. Now I was supposed to get AF yesterday. Been feeling nausious, tried, firm tummy and yesterday a matallic taste in my mouth. Just terrified of getting my hopes up. I've had a few Neg. tests.(5) so far.(paniky or what right?!). Strange thing being that I have two boys and with both I got pg the first month of trying. So this is a very new and scary world I'm in right now. A true test of patience in waiting to see what my body will do next. Good luck to you and your wait! 

Name: Amanda | Date: Nov 14th, 2004 2:21 PM
Good luck to you too!
Your symptoms sound very promising....keep us posted!
Amanda :o) 

Name: Nick | Date: Nov 14th, 2004 5:09 PM
I tested yesterday with a CVS test. I was anxious so I took it right after I bought it, in the afternoon-it was negative. Maybe it was too soon or too diluted or maybe I am not pregnant. I am due for my period tommorow and the closer it gets the more I am starting to think these are period cramps. I hope not. I have one test left and will take it tommorow morning. Good luck to you all and keep posting. 

Name: Amanda | Date: Nov 14th, 2004 6:25 PM
Nick, sorry your test was neg, perhaps the urine wasn't concentrated enough. Also, some people don't produce enough HCG initially to show positive on an HPT, so you never know. It is not over until AF shows up!
Good Luck!
Amanda :o) 

Name: Karen | Date: Nov 14th, 2004 6:34 PM
Hey everyone! I had a little bit of brown spotting again early today and hate the waiting game. The variuos cramping is weird too because it makes me think I'm getting my period early but that has never happened to me before. So who knows what the outcome will be by Wednesday - Nick and Veronica, it seems a lot of tests come out negative even though they say early testing. Evidently there are some that test different levels of the HCG in your urine, so if you have naturally low levels an early tesdt won't even matter. Plus if you're like me, I drink a lot of clear liquids especially water and that can dilute your levels. I'm going to early test in the morning but am wondering if it will even show up. Then I'm going to get a blood test one day this week. Annaleise and Amanda when are you going to test? 

Name: veronica | Date: Nov 14th, 2004 7:39 PM
Thanks Karen, I know I'm weak and wouldn't be able to stop myself from testing the next time I go to bed with bad nausia so I swore my husband to hide the last, and sixth, test I have until the 20th whenI will be i week late. Now all I have to do is try to wait either for AF or Sat, but at least my upset tummy is keeping me good company! Let me know how everyone is doing and Good Luck! 

Name: Karen | Date: Nov 14th, 2004 10:09 PM
I told my husband about your story hiding the tests and we laughed so hard. He keeps telling me to wait it out but if they only knew....
How's everyone else doing? 

Name: Amanda | Date: Nov 14th, 2004 10:32 PM
Hello ladies....I think I will test Wed or Thurs (AF is due Thurs) I had another glob of 'spotting' or something, but it seems awfully early to me. I am afraid I will be getting AF early this month :( Karen, I love how your DH hid the tests! Too funny, if I had any in the house I am sure I would have tested already. I am expecting some in the mail this week so we shall see my willpower! Good Luck!
Amanda :o) 

Name: Amanda | Date: Nov 15th, 2004 9:35 AM
OOPS! I meant Veronica!! (DH hiding the tests) Sorry... 

Name: Karen | Date: Nov 15th, 2004 9:44 AM
I knew the early PT would come out negative. The brown discharge is really strange and I'm still crampy. This has been going on for 4 days now but no blood thank goodness. I called my doctor and have an appointment for Mon. the 22nd. If my normal period doesn't start by then we'll know for sure! I had heartburn again last night and now have Tums and water beside the bed. Poor Brian he thinks an alien has taken over my body. Not to mention my emotions have been super weird the past 2 days. I go from mad to crying to happy. Crazy!!! I f I'm not pregnant there has to be another name for this condition!!!!

Hi everyone. I have not been on here before but I just wanted some advice. My husband and I have been trying for a child for months now. My period is now 5 days late and the week before it was due I had some light spotting. I have also been emotional, tired, hungry and frequently urinating. However, last night and this morningI have been feeling gassy and I have a stomach ache. I am desperatley hoping to be pregnant and am going to take a test tonight, I just wanted to know if anyone thought I could be pregnant even though I have a stomach ache. Thank you :) 

Name: MissJ | Date: Nov 15th, 2004 10:29 AM
About 10 dpo i started to have some signs, very gassy, bloated, few headaches so i took an early test 8 days b4 my period was due, negative of course, again 4 days before my period was due, negative again (both used first response early). I waited until i was 6 days late for my period to test again, used Answer Early Result in the afternoon, and got two lines=pregnant!! This is me and my partners first attempt to concieve and my dr. appt. to confirm the pregnancy is 11/18. Signs im experiencing now are still gas, increased appetite, frequent urination, sore nipples, sometimes stomach twinges that seem to go away if i use the restroom, constipation started 2 days ago, and very emotional, and the most unusual increased sensitivity to smells. I can smell the cat urine from the litterbox from rooms away. My advice is if you think youre pregnant i would wait until your period is late to test with a hpt. If not you will only be wasting your money bc hcg takes a while to build up in your system. I also started taking prenatal vitamins as soon as i started ttc.

I'm really worried now that I might be getting ready to have a miscarriage. the darkness on my nipples has faded a little and I have been blood spotting and cramping for a couple of hours. I'm now going to the doctor at 1:30 today so we can figure this all out.  

Name: Karen | Date: Nov 15th, 2004 11:57 AM
Well I'm so confused. It is only noon and the cramping almost completely stopped, and the spotting slowed down. This has never happened to me, even during the worst period. But I'm so regular this doesn't seem normal, especially with all of my pregnancy symptoms that I've never had before either. Hopefully today I'll get an answer either way so I can relax. How's everyone else doing?

hello everyone been trying for a baby for a few months now and as of yet there has been nothing i have not been on the pill so i thought it would be easy (hmmm how far from the truth am i ) last month i came on a week early and i feel a bit weird inside my stomach i noticed a few people mentioned excess gas is this a sign of preg as i am eating windize daily as i feel so bloated and gassy also one day last week i could not stop crying for no reason i am not due a period for about two weeks when can i do a preg test  

Name: Amanda | Date: Nov 15th, 2004 12:11 PM
Karen, I am so glad you are going to the doctors today! Keep us posted and good luck!
Tracey, if you are late I would take an HPT....be sure to not urinate for a few hours before testing and don't drink too much water. Better yet, if you can hold out till first morning urine that would be best.
MissJ, congrats on the BFP!!!! Yayy for you, how far would you be right now? Have you had a blood test? Did you happen to have any implantation spotting?
Anyone else's situation change? Nothing new with me still no more spotting, but AF is due Thurs so we shall see.
Good Luck!

heyya erm, I'm not paticually trying for a baby, but me and my partner had unprotected sex a few times and i checked on using a ovulation calc. and it was about the same time i was fertile, about a week later ive noticed my boobs are sore, i feel sick constantly including some actual throwing up, my tummys gone harder like it does before i come on only i havnt bloated which is unusual and i cant stop going to the toilet is this normal or could it be a sign of preg? 

Name: veronica | Date: Nov 15th, 2004 12:40 PM
As I told you, I'm weak. So I successfully talked my husband into giving me back the test to take tommarrow. It wasn't a hard sell. Who knows maybe it will be pos.! After all what's money?Ha Ha Ha. Just found out my sister-in-law is pg. and due to same time I would be. So it must be true for me since I've never been able to be the only one in my familty to be pg. Someone is always pg at the same time so way should fate deal me any different cards now right? Wish me luck! 

Name: Samantha | Date: Nov 15th, 2004 12:41 PM

Name: Samantha | Date: Nov 15th, 2004 1:02 PM
oh i forgot to tell you i had my last period on oct 28th im next due nov 25th  

Name: Nick | Date: Nov 15th, 2004 1:13 PM
I took another test this morning. My urine was very dark. It was negative. I am going to have to get a second job to pay for the htps and ov tests. I am due for my period today. My nipples are still sore and I get nauseous after I eat but that could be due to my prenatal vitamins. Karen-good luck at the doctors and let us know what happens. MissJ- congratulations on your positive htp! Veronica, How did your last test turn out?

Hi all, my period not due until 20th nov but i have felt nausea for days my boobs are very sore and heavy and lets not talk about the gas or the amount of food i have consumed over the past few days. lol.
If i'm not pregnant i would have to wonder why i feel like this.
I have my fingers crossed for all of us X
