Trying to Get Pregnant

Re: EESOME's symptoms

The whole runny nose thing, I think is a real symptom too. Out of the blue one day (two days before my BFP) I was getting ready to go into the mall when my nose started pouring. Wasn't sick or anything, and it only lasted like 20 mins, but managed to go through half a box of tissue. Why I had a box of tissue in the car, I don't know, but good thing.

Re: Re: EESOME's symptoms

  • I've read that this can be a symptom. I think it's something about your body's mucus changing. Since both CM and snot are mucus, it's within reason that you could have a stuffy and/or runny nose when your body reacts to pregnancy hormones.

  • Yes!  This is real.  Within 24-48 hours of conception, a protein called early pregnancy factor (EPF) is released.  This acts as an immunosuppressant so that your body won't try to attack the egg as it implants.  Immunosuppressants can make you more susceptible to things like the common cold, hence the runny nose and cold symptoms for some ladies.

    It's known as pregnancy rhinitis. Of course, many of us just have running noses and sinus colds, especially this time of year, so it's one of those symptoms that can really only be diagnosed after the fact (like implantation bleeding). :)

  • I know my sinuses have been way worse since I got pregnant. Not that I didn't have problems with them before, but the drainage has probably quadrupled. I think that's whats actually irritating my stomach more than m/s lol. 

    I've also had a lot more nose mucus than usual for me. My nose tends to be painfully dry, but now its really (gross I know) sticky and wet. I feel like a kid with a runny nose, constantly wiping with tissues and what not!

  • Yep, it's real!  I had it early on, then it went away and it's been back for a couple weeks now.  I'm very congested and stuffy and runny at the same time.  My husband insists this is not possible, lol.

  • Yep, I had it with DS. I had a stuffy nose a good 2 wks or so before my BFP, and I had a coworker (his wife was KU at the time) joking that I was probably pregnant b/c I had a sinus infection. I laughed it off, but then got a BFP a week or 2 later.
