I have to tell you how relieved I am to read your messages. I am two days from my period. There is a possibility I could be pregnant. I have been have bouts of diarrhea for the past couple days. It is so weird. I will get the bad cramps have a bowel movement and be fine and wanting to eat again in a hour or two. The cycle will happen again. I hope that I am pregnant, because it will explain a lot. Thanks again! ↑
Yeh i have had quite alot of diarrhea too, it follows really bad cramps that have me doubled over, sometimes I think that im having baby related cramps and I get sooo worried - anyone else have that? but really I just need to visit the bathroom which is a relief, in more ways that one! ↑
i'm so glad i found this and all of you- i've had BAD diarrhea since possible conception on 7/18. it's too early to test. i had a miscarriage in march 07 at 8.5 weeks, been trying for 2 months now, i don't remember having this last time maybe thats a good sign! ↑
its normal... I had diarrhea for my whole first trimester... you can try buying witchhazel- keep it in the fridge and after you go- put a little bit on a cotton ball or on the toliet paper and wipe and hold it there for a second or 2- its cooling and numbing. ↑
Well im almost 13ws and i have had diarrhea off and on through the whole 13 weeks.. I have also had severe constipation and to tell you the truth id rather go to much than not at all. as long at you are keeping your fluids in you i would not be worried. your body will eventually regulate itself ↑
Hi I'm supossed to get my period this week but feel I may be pregnant. My boobs are strangely not sore when they usually are and I have flu like symptoms like diarrhea cramping fatigue and aches. Glad I found this thread. :) ↑
i'm having diarhea too. i feel like thorwing up, but have diarhea instead. i find that not eating meat has helped. i'm almost seven weeks. and you're right, no one tells you about this problem!!! i find that eating more bread and cheese and laying off the meat helps. meat is the hardest for our bodies to digest normally, so being pregnant probably makes it worse. ↑
i am not sure i am pregnant, could be, would just be 10 dpo, barely, but have had severe cramping and pain with bowel movement, not loose watery stools, just pain and urgency with the bowel movement, almost like an upset stomach, and some lightheadedness, what does anyone think? ↑
I am also happy I found this discussion! My last period ws 11/8/2007...my bf and I did the do on 11/16, 11/18 and 11/20/2007. I have been experiencing cramps/upset stomach followed by diarrhea everyday since 11/25. I also have a runny nose but no cold or headaches! I'm not sure if I am or not yet b/c its still to early to test (I think!) Just wondering if its a possiblity that I am and if this a sign for me?!!! Baby dust to all :) ↑
I was relieved to find this site because I too have diarrhea. I am only 3 weeks pregnant but it is concerning to me. The only thing I can say that I am trying for now is calcium. I used to take it to help with bad diarrhea because it always helped bind me up in the past, just one tablet. But I know that might now work for others. If anyones interested I can let you know if its working for me. As a nurse, besides fluids, the only other thing I would say is the BRAT diet. Bananas, rice, applesauce and tea. I do hope it does go away soon though, it makes me feel weak. ↑
I had diarrhea like crazy in my first trimester when I was pregnant with my daughter. The only thing I can suggest is drinking tons of water (or if that makes you sick find a drink like gatorade) and try avoiding lots of sugar or greasy foods :) I am not sure what is safe to take as far as medications go. I never took any. Best wishes, diarrhea sucks I know. ↑
haha hey ladies - I am 8 wks 4 days pregnant and I also have been suffering from diarrhea - been going on for about 3 weeks now - i have a docs app for check up in 2 weeks so if it is still going on i will ask about it - i will let you know what doc says. But i think i would rather this then being constipated. Haha sorry if TMI!! ↑

But since like 8 dpo, I have woken up every morning with a BAD tummy aches, feels like I'm about to puke..than ends up being bad diarrhea. So I'm there with you! I'm 5 weeks 3 days today.

sorry...for some reason my comment makes no sense i copied and pasted and it got all messed up...basically all my HPTests have shown positive the Early Response ones. THe doctors urine tests all say no. I took my first test sun the 4. I ↑
Hey I was researching the topic and I found this thread that seems to have originated so many years ago, aint that funny? But since some of it was more recent I figured I would bring it up so we can read experiences as opposed to a new one (for now). Has anyone here experienced this as opposed to the infamous "constipation"? I have had diarreah for the past few days but ONLY first thing in the morning. It's more of very very loose bowel movements and ONLY in the mornings. Anyone on this boat with me care to share? ↑
Hi all, I have been ttc for 10months and have PCOS so periods very irregular but started feeling dizzy, tired and very nausous over the past week along with uncomfortable diarrhea.... could be just a bug I suppose but thought I would ask for your opinions!! ↑
Sandy - Yes, it is funny that so many have had diarrhea in first few weeks. When I was about 5 wks, I started getting sort of loose motions every other day and at random times of day... Felt like I was going after about each meal and was worried about nutrition to fetus. Told my doc and they said no worries. Also read on some websites, that the embryo/fetus in first few weeks is not only going off of what u eat now, but also what is stored in your body. This is why they say prepare your body's nutrition / supplment intake for 3 to 6 months before ttc... Esp because in first trim with nausea / etc, most are not able to eat enough or eat the necessary foods. Anyway, found all this out as researching after found out I was losing the baby at 7 weeks. Now I am supposed to miscarry anytime or may do d&c. I am glad to know that the diarrhea didn't cause the m/c.... I was concerned and worried about that. ↑
I too am only having diarrhea in the morning! EVERY morning! I think I may be pregnant but it is still to early to find out. I should be started my period in three days.(Sat) This is about the 5th morning with it. I am going to try a HPT in the morning with my Husband....I HOPE that the diarrhea will let me have my peace just for a minute!! :) I too was worried about it...so I came online. Though like everyone else it must be normal for some of us! Amen to whoever said," I rather be sitting than on my knees!!!"
God Bless and Baby Dust to ALL, -Debra- ↑
My husband and I have been trying for 3 months. He recently was cursed with the stomach virus, 7 days later I started having extreme cramping and pains in my stomach. No vomiting and was constipated for two days. Then I started having the diarrhea. I have been eating very little and the bratt diet. 4 days till aunt flow comes and hoping its pregnancy and not the stomach virus! ↑
Several of you have said you have had these strange boughts of diarrhea, and you have said "it is too soon to test"... So, have any of you tested ? Are you pregnant ? I am having the same symptons, we have been trying and could be pregnant ... I am about 4 days away from being able to take a test. Would LOVE to know if some of you with these issues during the potential early stages of pregnancy have taken tests and are they positive!?? ↑
Hello, pardon my ignorance but can someone please define dpo? Also further to sk8nduck's question - have any of the women who had diarrhea early but were too early to test - tested positive? there is a possibility that i could be pregnant and have had diarrhea, nausea and extreme fatigue .. ↑
I have now done 3 tests and all negative so am waiting till 19 days po to test as no idea when my period is due. Have had 'loose' bowel every morning for about 10 days. Also have mucus discharge (atractive i know) and really shattered. Sooo glad about what i read here.
Good luck everyone! xx ↑
I was just wondering about the whole diarrhea thing. I am ttc and have had diarrhea the past 2 days. I know with my other 2 kids, I had diarrhea, but Im pretty sure I already knew I was pregnant. Could this be a sign of pregnancy? ↑
With this one I have had a few bouts; but with my daughter, every time I turned around I had diarrhea! Just make sure you're taking plenty of folic acid. I drank lots of water to help ease mine. I don't know what medicines are safe to take or not. Mine went away on it's own. Now I have the opposite problem! :-D ↑
