Dry Mouth?

Wondering if anyone has had this pregnancy symptom? I had never heard of it before but Googled it tonight and it seems to be fairly common in early pregnancy.

The last time I was on this board was after I received my BFP #1 last September. I miscarried just over a week after I got the news so I haven't been on here since then.

I had a few different symptoms (intolerable to dairy, heartburn, tender breasts etc) around that time but I had been spotting for three weeks so before I got my BFP, I had NO idea that I was pregnant. I really didn't expect it.

Anyways, I've had dry mouth for the last couple of weeks. I've also had wicked heartburn, some intolerance to dairy, and tender breasts.

I took a home test two weeks ago and it was negative. A few days later I got my AF. It was pretty normal except for the fact that I didn't get cramps right from the start. That was really weird since usually they hit hard right from the get go. I'm thinking that I'm not pregnant...but I can't help but think that maybe, just maybe I am? I will take another test soon. I just don't want to jump the gun and get overly excited like last time. Obviously the baby wasn't meant to be since I had begun spotting right away and for a long time. But once I found out that I WAS pregnant, I became very excitable and a bit anxious. I don't think that helped my situation.

So...I'm just curious...have any of you encountered dry mouth? Sorry for the long post. I just wanted to explain my back story. I know that a bunch of strangers over the internet cannot answer whether or not I'm pregnant. But it's late and night and it's on my mind. Just thought I would ask what your experiences have been.

I felt like the frickin sahara desert from about weeks 4-7.  It was one of my worst symptoms, I was drinking well over 100 ounces of water a day and still felt completely dry.  However, it sounds like you got your period so probably not pregnant.  Most women will get a positive test if they have symptoms (not all), so if you have had the dry mouth thing for 3 weeks and a negative test a week after that started followed by a normal period minus cramps, my guess would be not pregnant.  But just a guess.  Take another test and see.

Nope; I'm the opposite, actually. My mouth is constantly watered up, like right before you have to puke (only I'm not pukey--just a little queasy on and off).

Sorry, it doesn't sound like you're pregnant if you've had a period, regardless of whether or not it came with cramps. But if you're still wondering, go pee on a stick--by this time, if you're KU, your hormone levels will be high enough to give you a blazing positive.

Thanks, ladies. I guess I'll take another test soon. I just thought I would ask because I've known quite a few ladies who have gotten their "period" after actually getting pregnant and who tested negative as well. So who knows. Only more tests will tell, I guess!
