Pregnancy Info HOME

Hi Ladies! I’m hoping someone can help me. My husband and I have been trying ttc for around 5 years now. We already have a beautiful daughter who just turned 7 but we are hoping for another one. We are starting to think it will never happen. I started my period on Jan 1 and ovulated around the 14th or 15th. Four days later I thought I was coming down with the flu. I was at work and I started feeling extremely nausea and having mild cramps in my abdomen. I left work and stayed out for two days. 6 dpo I notice I was still extremely nausea and I was still cramping in my abdomen all day and that it felt like I was starting my period early about 2 weeks early. 7 dpo I woke up with a little nausea but no more cramps. I’m now on 10 dpo and I have no more symptoms other than lower back pain. This is all really weird for me. I never cramp before my period starts and I never get nausea not even with my first pregnancy. I read that it could be PMS but I think it was too early for that and I “never” have PMS symptoms. Could I be pregnant? I know it sounds silly but I feel pregnant. Has anyone else experience symptoms like this and actually been pregnant? Or is this all in my head? I’m not due for my period until Jan 30 so I will have to wait until then to test so any info would be greatly appreciated…

Hey Hopeful4#2! Sounds like we in exactly the same boat!! I started my period on the 1st too and ovulated between the 14-16 ... and well, you saw the symptoms in the poast just above yours ... I have no idea whether or not everything is in my head or not. :( I start my period on the 30th too and I just feel like 6 more days is WAY too long to wait!!! - M.

Yes! 6 days feels like forever to wait especially when you've been waiting so long. I really hope its not in my head! I've never had any symptoms like this before have you? I like it's just weird that I really don't have any other symptoms but I didn't with my daughter either so who knows. I'm just trying to stay positive. Good luck to you I hope you get a +. Keep me posted.

Hey,I Feel Very Crazy Saying This But My Boyfriend And I Had S_x March 21,2011 Its Now March 27,2011 And I Havent Got My Period Yet. I Knw Its Soon But I Have Been Feeling Very Nauseous.And Very Tired Its Been Hard For Me To get Up In The Morning,I Have Also Been Very Hungry I Have Been Eating Alot for The Pa__s Three Days,I Ben Having Back Pains Also. Can Someone Please Give Me Some Info.Thanks

Hi guys i suppose i wont be much help on here, but i have a question too. so i have been spotting for the last 7 months, and just recently i have had unprotected s_x actually on friday the 25th, and its tuesday the 29th, i dont know if i could possibly be pregnant or not on account i spot so much. on sunday i was extremely naucious and had a killer headache, and my mom was cleaning and i absolutely could not stand the smell, and usually it doesnt bother me. Ive been having cramping, and headaches also, lower back pain and my stomach hurts.. i feel pregnant but it honestly is waaay to early to take a test im so scared.. any thoughts and or suggestions?

Please help.its only five days,but i usualy urinate once or twice a day now i need to go to the toilet atleast 7 times a day.im not nauseas at all but tummy pains like when its period time but my period is stil 2 weeks away.m b___st's is fine but if i touch it then i can feel its like when i have pms.????

If your period is two weeks away, it could be that you are now feeling an unusual ovulation, and not signs of pregnancy, which is not to say that sperm from five days ago is not still alive and could start a pregnancy this cycle. Join the 2 week wait!

Hi ladies! I am in need of some answers! I really have no idea when my last period was... My guess is between march 4-10... A couple weeks ago I starting having major cramps.... Which ALWAYS happen 3-7 days before my period so my boyfriend went inside me since we both thought it was about a week before my period... Well, that was 2 weeks ago and still no period.. I believe I'm a couple days late and since it was only 2 weeks ago the tests are saying it's negative. I still have cramps here and there like I'm about to get my period but still... Nothing. I am so exhausted latly I sleep almost 13 hours a night and take 2-3 hour naps a day. My b___bs are not sore at all and my nipples aren't changing colors. M temp is regular. I do get ma__sive random headaches.. And i get sick randomly for about an hour or so.. I feel way more hungry also and urinating around the clock... No foods have changed either... Are these signs I'm pregnant? I feel like I am but at the same time I feel like I could get my period any day now! Opinions ladies! :)

I am glad I found this because now I don't feel so crazy. I am sure I am imagining all my possible symptoms, but I'd still like to write it out here and see what you think. My boyfriend and I had s_x the 17 of March and I think the 18th, too, and I started spotting the 19th and then actually got my period the 20th. We had s_x again the 27th, and although we use condoms, he first went inside of me without one but then put one on before he ejaculated or anything. Anyway, I think we had s_x a few more times that week, but the one that concerned me was the 30th because when he came out of me, the condom was not there, and I had to go fishing for it. Some of his s____n was inside it, but it didn't seem like there was as much as there should have been. And, according to my calculations, since I started the 19 or 20, I should start again the 16 or 17 so was about at ovulation then. And, the 2 of April, I had some low abdomenal pain on the right side so wondered if that could have been ovulation. So it is now the 9 and the last couple nights, I have peed a bit more than usual, but it isn't waking me up at night. Plus I feel kind of crampy and have low back pain, but I usually do have back pain recently anyway. And my b___sts, although not what I would call tender, ached a tad last night, but I probably would not have noticed that if I had not been reading up on all the possible symptoms. So, I am sure I am imagining things and that I'm not pregnant, especially since the condoms hadspermacide, but I'm a little nervous. I love kids and all and would make the best of the situation and of course would love the baby if I had one, but now would definitely not be the ideal time for me to have one. Again, my period is not supposed to come for a week, and I am wondering if what I am experiencing could even possibly be symptoms at this early stage and when I could accurately take a pregnancy test. Thanks!

These could indeed be early pregnancy signs, especially since you had a contraceptive mishap close to ovulation. At that stage PlanB would have made sense, but too late now. Wait until your period is late before taking a test using first morning pee, dip method - anything earlier and you could have a false negative. You may even have to repeat the test a week later. Good luck!

i really dont know whats going on.me and my husband actually are ttc,but first of all i was on the pill for 4 or 5 years, after that i went of the pill i think ive been off the pill for 9 months.my period is never the same some months only 3 days other months 6 or 7 days. my first day of my last period was the 27th of March and we had s_x on the 2nd of april and again the 9th of april. i dont know if this was in my ovulation time but i had a lot of discharge since the 8th,my period is only due for round about the 24/25 of april. im having these bad lower stomach pains just as bad when having my period,every day theres a lillte bit spotting not much.my b___st are tender just as when having my period and im using the tiolet very often,and i neva had to urinate that much before it feels like i want to urinate the whole time.?ooh and i've had heartburn twice in my life before and now i started to get heartburn on sundaqy and im getting it every day between 9 and 15h00,and its bad!can some one please help me,i already did a test on 5th of april but it showed negative,it was only three days after the s_x guess that was to early.when will the right time be and what are these symptms?

So, how soon could I test accurately, do you all think? I've read a lot about pregnancy tests and wouldn't want a false result, if I could help it. So, since I'm supposed to start Saturday or Sunday, if I don't start, by when could I test accurately? I knew we could have done Plan B, but we talked about it and didn't like the idea. For us, it is one thing to try to prevent it beforehand and quite another to do an after the fact thing. We both just agreed that if I am, then it was meant to happen, and we will make the best of the situation. That's how we like to look at things, anyway, that if it happens, there was a reason. I am guessing things are fine and that this'll just be a killer period since I know the chances are small that any of the sperm could have lived through the spermacide and then gotten where it needed to go, but the timing factor and weird symptoms I'm having which I'd normally think were PMS if they weren't starting a week before my period was supposed to start, makes me wonder. We aren't worried per se but would just like to know one way or the other. I am feeling tired, too, and actually got a headache the other day, which I usually only get the day or two before my period. So anyway, basically just wondering when I can test. I can do it on campus for free at the health center, but I don't know what they use, just know its done with pee. Thanks all, and good luck to everyone that you get the results you are hoping for, whatever they are.

I took first response friday or sat and digital clear blue on sunday i wasnt due until wednesday the 22nd of september last year the second line on the first response was hard to see and the digital was positive i still took another test that can't been taken in advance on the day i missed my period and it was positive too i am due at the end of may begin of june...i did have early symptoms the main one being really tender b___bs and tiredness and extremely hungry hope my information helps everyone good luck!!

Hey all. So, I'm just wondering if any of the pregnancy tests are easier to read than others and how big the results window is. I am visually impaired so have trouble reading most thermometers, for example, and thus opt for talking ones. But there's no talking pregnancy test, so I was wondering if there was any way I may be able to read one in private or not. If there are any that are semi big or with really obvious color changes or where the positive results spot couldn't easily get mixed up with the negative one, it'd be great to know. Otherwise, I'll just keep waiting and go to the health center. I am just getting ansi as my period grows near, should be Saturday or Sunday, and I still have some cramping on occasion, back pain and occasional aching b___bs, plus fatigue. Last night, I slept from about 8:30 to 11:30, got up and ate and went back to sleep from about 2:00-10:30ish. And, I'm still tired. I'd think these were all PMS symptoms if they hadn't started so early, since usually I don't start getting the cramping and back ache until the day before or maybe two before my period. Oh, and I had a headache, too, which I usually only get the day before. I haven't been nauseous but have either been really hungry or not at all. And last night after I ate, I felt really bloated. Bleck. Plus, um, not trying to give TMI, but when my boyfriend and I were having relations, when he touched and such my nipples, it didn't hurt but felt different than usual, and not nearly as enjoyable. Does that mean anything, or am I just completely paranoid at this point? So regardless if I test myself or go to the health center, would it be best to wait until I'm a week late just to make sure I don't get an inaccurate reading? I'd really like to know sooner but am afraid of getting a negative and then finding out later it was actually wrong or getting a positive and then finding out I miscarried or something. I mean, it wasn't planned, but if I did find out I was pregnant and then that I lost it, I'd still be sad. But I don't know if I can bare to wait to see if its a week late or not. Thanks all.

I did find that the clear blue digital test which you can test 4 or 5 days early is written fairly big in bold black writing if you want to test that one is your best bet because they line ones are harder to read only thing is the digital ones are around 15 dollars.
