1st Trimester
I have a very honest question...
It's still my 2ww. I am 8 days post
ovulation and I am having mild cramping - I might add I rarely have
cramps during my normal period. It's weirding me out!
I am
also having discharge of cervical mucus. So much so that I feel like AF
is here; that's how much I'm discharging. I've never charted that
before so I am sorry, but I don't know what normal looks like. But this
is white and not sticky with no odor. It almost looks like baby cereal
(didn't know how else to describe it.)
Do you think I could be pregnant? My breasts aren't super tender, they hurt if I squeeze them and I have sharp pains sometimes. If my cycle is a normal cycle this month and I'm not pregnant, I shouldn't have AF until the 16th or so.
I haven't had any morning sickness yet. I think it may be too early if I am pregnant, right? Also, I could sleep all day if DH let me. This is normal for me to sleep 9 hrs when he's not home. I slept for 11 the other day!
Thank you ladies!! I really would like to hear your opinions (haters stay away). It's rough because it's my 2ww, but I don't know what else to do. I can't test yet, so I just wait...
I posted on the Getting Pregnant board and they were more upset with me for asking than anything. Why do people have to be so rude?
Anyway, all I'm asking is. Did this happen to you? Cramping - like AF was here? I have read a lot on other websites, but I wanted to ask someone he's actually gotten a BFP!

Re: I have a very honest question...
I NEVER had PMS symtoms, but when I was PG and didn't know, I would wake up in the middle of the night with horrible cramps! Again, I didn't know, so I would take Pepto and Tylenol and just go back to bed. So I think it's a strong possibility for you
GL!
Steal my kids picture or pretend they are yours, I will find where you live and ship all of their dirty diapers to your doorstep. Promise.
Yes, I had cramping like AF was going to show up and I still do from time to time. That being said, we can't tell you if you're pregnant. Take a test if you think you might be and if it's negative and you still don't have your period in a few days, test again. Time will tell either way. And yes, if you don't think you're supposed to get your period until the 16th, it's probably too early. If I were you, I would wait a few more days and test.
Just a heads-up--Getting Pregnant is a board full of wonderful women. They get asked multiple times a day if someone is pregnant--hence their frustration. There's no way for anyone to tell by symptoms alone.
Best wishes!
Didn't have the cramping, but I did notice that all of the sudden I had to pee every 10 minutes. And then the boob soreness came. Then I figured it was probably time to test.
Good luck to you and keep us posted!
Its always important to lurk on a board before asking a question. I am sorry the GP ladies were rude but you have to understand that they have no way to tell you, you are pregnant #1 they are not mind readers and #2 most of them are trying to get pregnant. I am assuming you chart if you know you are 9 DPO, but if you dont that would probably upset them as well because you really have no idea if you even O'd yet.
With that being said YES many of AF symptoms often can be pregnancy symptoms. Prior to my BFP my breasts were slight sore, I guess I was a little tired, and smells bothered me more. I also had ALOT more discharge. I always had discharge after O but not as many days in a row. If you are not KU then I would suggest charting your CM.
I know the 2ww is hard, wasnt long ago I was there myself, but just be patient as you can be. You only have to wait a few more days and you will know. GL I hope that you get your BFP soon.
I agree with Mrs.AmyB....
I swore I was about to start and never did. Try not to stress though, just relax and it will happen! GL!
Felt nothing so I took a test at 10 dpo and it was positive, than on 11 dpo, 12, dpo all the way to today at 14 dpo..
Take a test everyone is diffrent. I've had everything your describing and dind't turn out ot be pregnant.
This probably isn't something she wants to hear. For some women, all the relaxing in the world doesn't make them pregnant.
no, none of that stuff happened with my bfp cycle.
why can't you test? it seems to me if you are pregnant, and you're pregnant enough to feel pregnant with sore boobs and lots of creamy cm, then you're pregnant enough to test.
This was me a few short weeks ago. I was basically told a variety of things.
The symptoms were sore breasts (but I had this the first month when I got a BFN) and some breaking out on my skin.
The big one was two days before I got my BFP I went to bed at 8 pm two nights in a row...no problem. I was out cold. When I got my BFP that made complete sense. I have been exhausted and in bed between 7:30-9:30 pm every night since then, unless I get to take a nap mid-day (then its 10:30 pm).
I had cramps and weird wooshy feelings down there, but had some of that the month I had the BFN. The waiting sucks, but if you are PG, you'll likely have a 4 WW or longer to see your OB/GYN. That's even worse.
Good luck!
GP gave you an answer... if you are having symptoms then go ahead and test. There is only one way to find out.
We were upset because we are not a doctor or God. So we wouldn't be able to give you an honest answer. They told you to take a test, if negative and you don't believe it, see your doctor.
We are not miracle workers.

My early symptoms:
I kept waking up in the middle of the night to pee.
I was unreasonably and ridiculously exhausted. Like, I would sit in the bed at 8pm to watch Property Virgins and fall over asleep...and sleep until the next morning.
We can't tell you if you're really KU or not, you will just have to wait for a test to tell you. But one thing that tipped me off is a symptom you mentioned, the CM. I had lots of unusual CM and EWCM after I O'd and a lot right before i was expecting AF. Never had that before. I took a test the day I expected AF and it was positive.
I also had bfp dreams. But you have a ways to go, so just relax... find something to take your mind off things and when the time comes to poas, we wish you the best!
GL
I had cramps & felt like AF was coming any minute. ?I couldn't take waiting so I took a test very early (3 1/2 weeks after the 1st day of my last period). ?I knew it would come out BFN because it was too early but I did it any way & I got BFP! ?My dr. is very confused on how I tested so early. ?Try taking a test if you get BFN & feel the same try again in a few days.
?
What does 2ww mean? ?Sorry, I don't know that one.?
This exactly!
GP jumped your shyt b/c no one can tell you if you are pg or not. POAS is the only way you can know.
GL.
FYI, I was relaxed for several years and it didnt just happen. People TTC for a long time HATE that sentence. I am saying this to be helpful, because one day you may say it to someone who snaps.
To the OP, if you have pregnant enough to have pregnancy symptoms you are pregnant enough to test. My experience is that you can have different 2WW symptoms every cycle. Just because you are feeling something you have never felt before doent mean you are, or are not pregnant. Testing is the only way to know.
Complaining about a board on another board is a sure fire way to piss people off.
You know people post on more than one board...
...and no one knows if you are pregnant.

Seriously, who was rude or upset? Just because you didn't get the answers you were hoping for we were rude? Yes, FWIW I think you're pregnant. With triplets. You are wondering why people have to be so rude. Now you have me wondering how people have to be so dense. I guess we're even.
Good luck with your triplets.
