I am not due for my AF until 6/16 but I have had a weird feeling in my uterus for about a week. First a pinching on a nerve (travels down my leg) that lasted about 2 days last week and now I am just so bloated. Boobs are not sore yet but I am really senstitive to smells. Did anyone else have extra sensistivity to your body and knew that you were preggo before taking a test?

hi I "just knew" I was pregnant both times I was pregnant. This past time I told my husband and he said take a test, I said it won't come up yet, and I took one and of course it was - because it was way too soon. He said see your not ,and I said we'll wait ans see. sure enough I was right, I am almost 8 weeks with our 2nd!

My friend found out she was pg yesterday, the 14th. She has been throwing up for at least a week. I thought no way can she be sick one week after conception! She is also sensitive to smells already. Or has been. Weird....

June Bride,
I had the same thing you did last Friday. I felt like I had a cramp on my right ovary and it shot down to my leg. I decided to take a test this morning and it turned positive. Oddly, I was also bleeding a little bit this morning, too. So, I got a last minute dr appt this afternoon, and it turns out I'm either 4 or 5 weeks. Doc said the bleeding is normal. Although, my blood tests don't come in until Monday, the waiting is going to kill me to know whether everything is ok.

I felt like I was about to get my AF before I found out I was pregnant. I had "menstrual like" cramps, was moody and bloated. I was positive that my period was just late (since I had just gotten off the pill) and the first test I took was negative... but I waited two weeks and sure enough it showed up positive.

Thank you guys so much - I am patiently waiting until Sunday to take a test. I am due for AF today but am scared to take a test. I had a miscarriage in May (we were supposed to wait a cycle to start trying again - oops). Ladies, keep me in the loop if you can and I will update you next week. Thanks again for giving me hope.

Cassie- you said you had just gotten off the pill right? Me too and I feel like the symptoms I have are just side effects of the pill. What symptoms did you feel and how soon did you know?

June Bride. I miscarried in April and am anxiously waiting to see if I am pregnant again. AF is due on Sunday but I have faint pregnancy signs. Please keep us posted. I feel that I am a few steps behind you but would love to have someone with similar experiences to mine to go through this with.

Well, I broke down and took a test during lunch on Friday (at work). Holy crap - it immediately showed 2 lines! This is great since I never had a positive pregancy test with my first pregnancy (ended with a m/c in May). Husband is still in shock and is trying to tell me not to get my hopes up - he wants to wait until we have the vaginal ultrasound in a few weeks. But how can I not be thrilled?! Right now, the nausea comes and goes and I am so exhausted. I go to bed around 7:30 every night now! No cravings yet but bbs are starting to get sore (with the last pregnancy, they started getting sore at 6 weeks). If I calculated correctly, I am 5w2d and due on 2/24! Kara - did you take the test yet?


to JUNE BRIDE - June 22nd, 2005 10:03 AM

I m/c 6/5 and have been ttc since the bleeding stopped 4 days later. It was a very early miscarriage. Did your body treat your m/c as a regular period and your cycles started from there, or when did you o ? I've been crampy, sick and moody since I've o'd, but, I think I' messing with my own head and imagining I'm preggo, since it's probably too soon to have symptoms. Anyway.....Please let me know when you think you O'd. Congrads on being pregnant and a new bride.


June Bride - June 26th, 2005 6:41 PM

To answer your question - I am usually pretty clear on my ovulation days (sticky CM) but in between my m/c, I wasn't able to tell when I ovulated. I took the test when I was one day late in getting my period (if I made the m/c the first day of the start of my period). I was very moody for the week of my m/c - my HCG levels were going down and I didn't understand the moodiness. But a few weeks later, my uterus felt crampy (I am guessing when the egg and sperm met and fertilized) and I knew that I had probably conceived. I felt the morning sickness and fatigue right away. I will be going to the doctor's again for more blood work to make sure my HCG levels continue to rise. My bloodwork from Tuesday was HCG: 712 and Progesterone: 26. I was out of town all week so I am going to go on Tuesday to make sure that it is in the 2,000's. Wish me luck. . . and good luck to all who had a m/c and want to try again!

I am starting to think I may be pregnant. I have been on the pill a long time, but my last few periods have been really light (barely needed a pantyliner). I feel sick everynight. Moody. I have had constant light cramping, and cramps that travel down my legs. Occasional dizziness. My breasts are tender & get all kinds of weird shooting pains throughout the day. My intestinal tract has not been right for months (lots of gas). I don't know, I feel kind of dumb taking a test because I have been having some sort of period every month (that might have something to do with the fact that I keep taking the pills). I have an appointment for my yearly gyno visit next month. Maybe my doctor can help me figure out what is going on!!!


confused - June 27th, 2005 7:00 PM

Oh I forgot! I get daily headaches! This is so unusual for me. I normally get maybe a few a year, at the most!!!


lashunda - June 27th, 2005 10:36 PM

first, i got a little nauseated but just faintly and thats weird for me. secondly, when i ate something big, my stomach would feel like i've been sucking it in for a long time. i felt pregnant two weeks before i took the test and my period still wasn't due until a couple of days after i took the test. so now i'm 6.6 weeks pregg. good luck.
