Pregnant and really scared right now

vrj0522 · April 2013

I need some help and I'm hoping the experience in this board will help. If I'm in the wrong place please be nice and just redirect me.

I am on 11 dpo and after putting my LO to bed tonight I started getting really intense cramps. I wasn't sure if this could be cramping from my period coming or a gastrointestinal thing but I was really hurting. TMI... went to the bathroom and had no issue going but the pain was intensifying and while i was in there, I started sweating like crazy and felt faint/dizzy to the point I thought I was going to pass out. When I got out I just dropped on the floor with really heavy breathing until the dizziness passed. Then I drank some water and took some aleve. I decided to take a PT just to make sure it couldn't be related and it came out positive.

Now I am really worried. The cramps were almost unbearable and while they subsided a bit now, my stomach area is extremely tender and I've had a few cramps intensify for a few seconds here and there. I have never had bad cramping in my life, not even with my previous pregnancy. I am not bleeding at all, not even spotting but could this be a miscarriage?

Looking for input from those who have had a miscarriage this way or who were able to have a successful pregnancy in the past in spite of really bad cramping.

You're not in the right place maybe 1st tri? As far as your concerns, the cramping wouldn't be due to a miscarriage at this point. You're way to early on and probably just implanting...which I gather your cramps would be from. I'm not

Haven't been pregnant before, but hopefully it's nothing. Good luck.

Sounds like appendicitis to me! I would go to the ER, stat!

Is there any bleeding? If no bleeding, it might not be, but either way I would do as a previous poster suggested and get yourself to the ER. That sounds scary to me.

Hope you are feeling better. Just wanted to say I had some intense cramping with my first and as you can see below everything turned out fine! Hope the same for you!

LaurenAsh23 · April 2013

I had some intense cramps at the beginning of my pregnancy, they are actually what caused me to test. I agree with others though on just calling your dr to be safe.

LittleMommaBlueHen · April 2013

Early pregnancy cramps have gotten worse for me with each subsequent pregnancy. I have had 2 miscarriages this past year, only one started with cramping and it was followed by bleeding within the hour. If you are concerned call your care provi

I don't have any experience with m/c, but I agree with PPs that you should probably contact your doctor if you're worried.

But I also think this could have been gastrointestinal cramps. This has happened to me recently, I was in a ton of pa

I'm sorry you are going through such a tough, uncertain time right now OP.

If you aren't bleeding then it could be uterus stretching. In my experience it can be very very uncomfortable at times during first

This is a fine question to ask here. I haven't had a miscarriage, but cramping could be an indication. Si

My thoughts are that this is not related to pregnancy, like PPs said. Last week I had a similar thing happen. I felt like I needed to have a BM, went to the bathroom and got very hot, sweaty, and thought I was going to pass out. I even had DD get my ph

OP, I really hope you're doing much better since having posted this. I don't know what is going on with your body, but your description is eerily similar to something I've experienced 3 times, on 3 separate ocassions. I have had 3 dermoid ovarian cysts

Please call your doctor or go to the ER if you experience pain so bad that you are close to passing out or if you still have severe abdominal pain and start vomiting and/or a have a fever.

I'm sorry but there is no way for us to tell you if you

vrj0522 · April 2013

Thank you everyone for your replies. After I posted this last night I passed out for a couple of seconds while sitting on the floor and then had really bad diarrhea so I was convinced it was something I ate. I went to bed and at 3 am woke up to us

I'm so sorry. Studies show that losing a tube does not have as big of an impact on fertility as one would think. I lost my left tube after an ectopic and the little girl in my siggy now is a result of an egg from the left that found its way to the right t

I'm so sorry you experienced this!

candrew05 · April 2013

Wow I am so sorry this happened. So glad you are okay though! It's a good thing your DH encouraged you to go. What a scary time.
I hope your recovery is smooth.

sueann911 · April 2013

I'm so sorry. Pregnant with abdominal pain and nearly/or fainting isn't something to put off.

I hope you can take it easy and heal quickly. Good luck when you TTC again.

MiaMyPuggle · April 2013

Felt the same way before my mc in October. No bleeding, but horrible cramps. Talk to your doc. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I went thru it.
ETA: so sorry to hear this. I didn't read thru before posting my reply.
