gassy and bloated?? **newbie here**

in 1st Trimester

hello everyone. I am here on the first trimester board because we are TTC but have had some odd bloating/cramping/gassiness already and I was initially blowing it off as a response to getting off the birth control pill.. but after reading a few websites it say that even at only 3-4 days past ovulation you can have those symptoms plus headaches..

(I quit taking the birth control pill after my last period... or should I say I just never started my next pack.. and have been watching my cervical mucus but am new to all this)

Anyone have any early EARLY symptoms such as gassiness, bloated, mild cramping... all in the lower abdomen.. and these are not normal "PMS" symptoms for me.

 May be a dumb question since to me it seems way to early to even be having symptoms.. but I figured I would ask.

Thanks!!

    I didnt have any gas but I was bloated and had slight pain in my lower back. I swore I was pregnant then I read that you can start imagining these things so I started thinking I was crazy and it was to early for symptoms. It turns out I was right in the first place I am pregnant so hopefully you really are having symptoms it can start really early at least it did for me. Good luck wish you the best.

    It's too early.  Bloating/cramping/gassiness can be attributed to almost anything (period, needing to poop, gas, etc.) so I wouldn't read much into those *symptoms*.  Honestly, if this is your first cycle off of BCP, your body is probably still trying to regulate, which can take up to a year.  Also, most women don't ever ovulate on cycle day 14 so you're likely not actually 4 DPO right now.  I'd recommend reading Taking Charge of Your Fertility to learn about your body.  It taught me so much!

    Yeah, that's pretty much the same thing I ran into... I was wondering if I am just making it be baby related. I guess its not as much gassy. Just in my lower abdomen its mild gas like cramps..the bloated feeling.. So I will keep my fingers crossed and wait 10 more days to test. Thanks!!
