Question to you ladies that just got Pregant. Please help.

AngelaParish · August 2010

I have been TTC and am wondering the week leading up to taking the pregnancy test, were there any signs? Also, if there is a tiny bit of cramping, could that be a good sign. Not big time cramping, just a barely noticable amount. Any advice is greatly apprecaited.

Good luck to you, hope you get your BFP!!

AF was due Wednesday for me, so tomorrow. I took a test on Friday and it was a BFN, and started spotting Sunday night. I thought I was getting my period early and woke up in the morning and there was no more spotting. So, I decided Monday afternoon to take a test and got a BFP!!!

No symptoms even yet for me!

I just found out that I was pregnant last wednesday. Leading up to it I remember having cramping (like I was going to get my period) and bad heartburn. I usually never have bad heartburn.

staycee · August 2010

this pregnancy no signs at all. Zip. Zero. Didn't test until 16dpo cuz I kept thinking everyday that AF was coming any minute - then my temp went up on 15dpo and got me wondering.

1st pregnancy - on 12dpo I had light twingy tiny cramps off and on all day long. Tested the next morning at 13dpo.

i cramped for two weeks before i was suppose to start, i thought it was my period coming but it wasnt!! lol. good luck!!

jinx75 · August 2010

I tested positive on 8/17...I tested because I was having symptoms, my breasts were very sore and I was extremely tired. Which is odd in my case because my FF chart said I didn't ovulate until the 10th. So I must have ovulated earlier OR I am farther along than I thought? Who knows we'll find out on 9/20 when I go to my 1st appt.

I've had mild cramps since about a week before my period was due. over the last couple of days, they're not as constant.

rrcraz7 · August 2010

I did not have any symptoms different than my usual premenstrual stuff. Some minor cramping, a bit of spotting.

azzyberry · August 2010

I knew I was pregnant before I took an HPT with all 3 of my pregnancies. With all my pregnancies I would be getting ready for bed at night and when I take my bra off and my boobs drop they feel a lot heavier then normal. The next morning I get a positive HPT. Other than that, I had no other symptoms.

virginiagirl11 · August 2010

I was very tired, cramping, constipated, and had a stuffy nose leading up to my BFP. My cramping wasn't so much AF-like as it was like something was going on in there, aka "processing" pains.

AngelaParish · August 2010

Oh ladies thank you so much for so many HELPFUL responses so quickly! Thank you thank you thank you. This will keep me sane for the next couple of days!

You are all wonderful. I'll let you all know what happens. Hopefully this will be my new message board soon!!!!!!!

With both PGs, I had cramping. The first one I kept expecting to get AF. I have always had long cycles or skipped a month, so I didn't expect to be PG. But, AF never came so I tested. ANd it was positive. This time, I found at earlier b/c I had an appt at my ObGyn's office already, but I didn't think I was Pg b/c I had been cramping again. (You would think I would have learned my lesson a/b that

But, sure enough, the Dr told me my hormones looked good, and that I was PG. Total shocker! I have been cramping since then. And just today, my bbs have gotten a little fuller.

I actually thought that I was out that cycle and would have to do another IUI round. I had spotted the weekend prior (I tested on a Wed), and spotting was just a norm for me. I would literally spot for 6-9 days prior to my period, fun times. Other than that (which I now know was implantation spotting, but you never know until after the fact) I did not have any symptoms. I tested at 13 dpiui and there was that beautiful second pink line.

NikkiSLR · August 2010

Yep, I kept looking down there expecting AF to show up and it never did. Signs included lots of cramping. But this cramping felt like my uterus was changing or something, similar to mentral cramps but a little different. Sore boobs for about the last 3 weeks along with constipation, hemorrhoids (for some awful reason), bleeding gums, sensitivity to smell, and a little pinky when I wiped the week before I found out. Right now I will have a cramp or muscle spasm every once is a while. The nausea has taken over my body and everything makes me gag. Yay, and I'm only 4 weeks Smile

!! I'm looking forward to every minute of it though!!!

SC1977 · August 2010

I always had a little bit of cramping starting at about 7dpo leading up to my period. They would get progressively worse each day to the point of being unbearable. This time the cramps were really mild and then stopped completely around 10dpo. So I guess the fact that I didn't feel like crap was a symptom for me.

Good luck!

EDWHIP · August 2010

I had cramping that was slightly worse than my menstrual cramps. Like everyone else, I thought I was getting A/F. I also fell asleep before 7pm a couple of nights the week leading up to the BFP.

leeyvonne · August 2010

I just found out I was pregnant few days ago and I didnt cramp at all! I felt nauseous for few weeks but I thought it was bc I was too tired.

Did anyone found out while on birth control and was still taking it? i stop right after I found out..but I hope it wont affect my baby

katkat74 · August 2010

I had a tiny bit of cramping and felt sick AFTER I ate. Good luck to you!!!!

cassiejo84 · August 2010

I had mild cramping and breast tenderness about 4 days before my period was due, leading me to take an HPT....got my positive. Good luck!

darceyf · August 2010

Excessive tiredness, like couldn't keep my eyes open while driving tired!! Also, horrible bloating. I had to wear stretchy pants and tshirts for a couple of days last week! I was in a wedding this past weekend and was so bloated that the dress didn't fit as well!

bonniewallace · August 2010

I had bright red blood for one day about 5 or 6 days before I was expected to start my AF. Then it turned to light brown, then disappeared. I had cramping and even told my DH that I was certain I would start my period the next day. I didn't, and the day after I took an HPT and got my BFP! So yeah, I definitely had PMS symptoms...the bleeding was just a little early which is what kind of tipped me off a little. Also, one of my PMS symptoms is eating a lot and staying hungry...and I DIDN'T have that symptom for the first time since I've been of the pill, which was odd.

loanbpham · August 2010

I was charting my temps and every morning that I would wake up I would pray that the temps were still high. I kinda had a feeling that I was pregnant because leading up to the time that I was supposed to have my period, I didn't have any of the ginormous period pimples that I always had. I was also extremely fatigued, but I thought it was because I was still recovering from my full marathon.

I also had some cramping. I never cramped before my period, my cramps always occurred during my period..so that was another sign.

Good luck to you.

NavyGMWife · August 2010

I had two early signs that at the time I didn't know where signs. 1.) I had been getting crazy dizzy (but it was over 100* outside at times) and then one day with the dizziness I got a nosebleed. Later I read in my pregnancy book although rare some woman do experience this as a early sign.

2.) Two days before BFP major, major, thought I was going to die cramps.

That's all I had. I tested at 10 DPO with a neg. and tested again at 12 DPO and got the BFP.

wlknsnlrn · August 2010

About a week before AF was due I had some very moderate cramping. It was so strong that I felt like I would be bleeding very heavily, but it was a week before AF was due so knew that was not it. I got a BFP at 11dpo after the cramping lasted 3-4 days, I also had sore breasts. GL!

RayRay007 · August 2010

I had cramps/ sharp stabby pains in my lower abdomen at around 6-8 dpo and I wonder whether they were related to implantation. Other than that, I lacked the usual AF cramps and my temps remained up on CD 13 so I tested and got a bfp.

ETA: 13 dpo, duh

justirene89 · August 2010
