Early pregnancy signs... HELP!!

[Ceejelz]

Hi there

I am currently 5dpo and in my 2ww but I have had some weird feelings that I wanted to get some advice on? I have never been pregnant before so I dont know what I am looking for, but hubby is convinced that I am preg, although I dont want to get my hopes up as we have been trying for 3 years now.

**Firstly, I have lower back pain that I have never had before, I dont usually get it during ovulation or AF, but I understand it may not be related what so ever. I am finding it hard to bend forwards which is a pain, but hubby hung the washing out for me so that was a bonus!!

**I have really bad cramping in my ovaries, which again is something I dont usually suffer from.

**Even though it has only been 5 days, I seem to be peeing alot more, to the point where I am "dribbling" because even though I have just emptied my bladder, I need to go again already - I have had to buy teena ladies to aviod embarrasment lol.

** I love cucumbers more then anything!! They are my absolutely favourite food, but last night for dinner, I couldnt get them down, even the look of them were making me sick - although I didnt acutally throw up, I felt disgusting.

So there they are, no sore boobs, and im no more tired then usual, but all these things are weird for me, so I dont know!!

Many women "know" they are pregnant before they are far enough along to test, but others feel they know and are disappointed.

These SOUND promising, but I also don't want to get your hopes up too far - you could be "thinking" yourself into the symptoms, you could have conceived but it may not implant (unlikely, but possible), or you could be having symptoms of your LP you have never noticed before.

That said, I REALLY REALLY REALLY hope you get that BFP in another week and a half, and that the time goes FAST!

Good luck girl ... hope you score a goal this time!

I must say though I second Buggzter and try not to get your hopes up ... then when it does come true, you will utterly get a serious happy surprise

I find that I have been getting really stressed out with the whole journey so I am learning to relax and "not think about it" as much as I can these days ... it's hard, but I am trying ...

I also find a "count down to pregnancy" website not bad ...

Good luck again!

Thanks ladies

Honestly, im so used to dissapointment now that even when I do get my BFP I will probably not believe it if anything I think it will be hubby that will be upset if this isnt our month.
We have had alot of bad luck and now that everything is sorted and back on track again, this was really our first month back trying, so I think he is secretly hoping to have gotten me UTD "first go" lol.

I too am trying to stress less and let it all go because I have realised that my PCO isnt the end of the world (believe me it was when I was told!!!) so hopefully being more calm has helped and its our time

Goodluck Ceejelz!!!!!!!!

I hope there is a BFP waiting for you at the end of your TWW!!

Preg signs can be different for everyone. With DD#2 I was 100% convinced AF was on her way, she was due to arrive and all my signs were that she was on her way...I had even had a BFN at 10DPO, I still went ahead and POAS and there it was, a BFP... I didn't believe my eyes (So of course did another one later in the day!).

As Buggzter said, some women just 'know'. I hope you are one of those lucky ones that just know! GL and let us know how you get on!

Hi Ceejelz,

That is one of the problems isnt it, wondering whether these symptoms you are having are because of pg or AF? Like so many are similar. Morning sickness is an annoying symptom as I am unlucky enough to have really bad reflux to the point I vomit in the morning, and have had since 12/09. And over the last 1-2 weeks I have been vomiting and feeling more nauseated, I feel more bloated, had some really bad cramps, and am weeing more often and having difficulty urinating, like something is blocking my urethra??? But I dont want to read too much into this as these can all be explained as pre-AF but I dont normally get symptoms until the week prior?? I am now one week away from knowing whether I will have my AF or pg. I hope for both our sakes that we get a BFP.

Good luck

Thanks for the words of support ladies.

My symptoms kept on getting stronger day by day, and I have never peed so much in my life! I reckon I was going every hour on the hour and had a full bladder!!

I did a pg test on the at 14dpo, but it was invaild as I didnt even get a line in the control window, so I did one the next morning and got a big pink blob (instead of a line) in the test window..... so waited until the day AF was due, and got a negative result. Instantly all my "symptoms" disappared, except the cramps, they are still here, and im now 3 days late for AF.

I have only just got my cycles back to a normal length, so to be 3 days late and have a neg pg test, im not very happy I HATE IRREGULAR CYCLES

In the same boat as you Ceejelz. Lets hope we get those 2 long awaited lines soon.

I too am 3 days late, and have not had a BFP not even a faint line to get my hopes up.

Now i am waiting for AF to come so i can start again.

Yea I just want AF to start now too (cant believe I acutally said that lol)

Don't stress ladies (yes, i know that is really hard in tww) I didn't get my bfp until 4 days after my period was due! before that it was all bfn! It does happen...i hope it happens for you soon xx

[Mum2SweetCs]

con you seriously have given me a tint of hope! Thank you!

[Ceejelz]

And to top of a crappy week, I just called my Dr to make an appointment to basically force her to refer me to a FS.... and she doesnt work there anymore.... AWESOME
