I had stabbing shoulder pain in my right shoulder for about 3 days on and off during weeks 3 and 4 of my pregnancy (now 6 weeks 5 days) the dr admitted me to hospital thinking it was a possible ectopic.
Thankfully it was not (found out today when had a u/s) but it's been an agonising 3 weeks waiting to find out.
I just wanted to post this here as I googled frantically hoping to find someone/anyone with the same symptom that had a normal pregnancy and I couldn't find anyone. So if anyone is feeling like this early on try to stay positive as things have turned out well for me in the end !
Found out I was positve on 26 March using the onestep test (one where u can test 5 days before your period) and then again last night using crystal clear to be sure, which too was positive however result line was fainter. Postive test at clinic this morning with another brand, again result line fainter like last night but Im trying to assume that its cos the tests arent as sensitive as the onestep. Last period started somewhere between 29/2 and 3/3, not sure cos i always seem to spot before heavy flow. Cycle length has been approx 24 days for the last few months that Ive ever paid attention.
Symptoms so far.....
dull lower backache
stomach cramps (mainly left side)
radiating heat from my face
minor gas / burping
bigger boobs, slightly sore, gorging nipples
gone off my morning iced coffee
light pink spotting 1 week ago (implantation???)
However this morning I woke to red blood when i went to the toilet and wiped. prolly only equivelant to 1/2 - 1 teaspoon. Was that worried I went to clinic where I tested positive and then no more blood just dark brown spotting the consistency of UHU stick glue (sorry couldnt think of anything else). Another thing, my boobs arent sore today and arent as gorged but still have lower abdominal minor pain / cramping, nothing serious however am really tired today.
Went to Docs who was alarmed and made me like an idiot being there, said that I shouldve waited at least another week or 2 before coming. He then ordered me to do 4 routine blood tests every 2nd day next week and one today to corfirm HCG levels increasing.
Anyone else experience a hit of bright red blood when period was due then dark brown discharge? extremely worried as its our first and so damn excited.
I have a quick one to ask. I am not yet pg, but I am feeling very strange. I feel so unsettled emotionally. Cant decide if I am sad or scared or anxious or angry... and my stomach is churning like a cement mixer. I usually am reasonably calm during times of stress, but I dont know what this is. So my question is...
Can anyone relate to this kind of unsettled feeling specifically as part of early pregnancy?
Hi all you lucky ladies!I hope you dont mind me just popping in!I was wandering if i could ask a question you might know the answer too....Ive heard of it but never spoke to anyone whose pregnant or had children already so what I want to ask is did any of you use lubricant and still fall pregnant?I mean just normal water based lubricant?Sorry about TMI but been ttc for 4 months now and im just worried as ive heard but wandered if it just a load of sillyness?I cant seem to do the Baby dance alot without it but wandered if this preseed is the better way to go?Thanks in advance and congrats to you all and hope you all have lovely healthy and happy pregnancies and hopefully it wont be long before im in this thread too yehar!!
Hi 1pj. Although I am not UTD as yet I have read about this and preseed is definately the way to go. Other lubes mostly have stuff that will damage the spermies. GL
Hi Ladies
Im new in this forum as I have spent over a year in the TTC threads......
Well Im finally pregnant! Only early days...5 weeks and 2 days to be exact.
I was wondering if anyone had the symptoms I have or I am wishing these upon myself.
I have had to go on progesterone as my levels were only slightly low and FS just want to as a precaution...Oh sorry i had a FET onthe 14/3/08........our third FET....
I always feel worse after taking the progesterone pessaries like...heavy int he groin, sore to touch my tummy and around one side of my hip....i get the yuk nauseas feeling all day....but never enought to run to the loo.........Im tired most of the time but it seems to be getting better. I dont sleep very well anyway and now its even worse..........
Some days i dont have any sickness and feel ok....should I then worry I dont have any symptoms......
Im really nervous about this pregnancy so if I seem ridiculous...IM SORRY!!! Just hoping someone could shed some light and tell me its all normal...Oh and I cramp like you wouldnt believe..FS said thats from the progesterone!!!
Sorry for no personal posts...just trying to read through everyones journeys....
Carla. After i became pregnant, i spoke with heaps of friends and work colleagues who have had kids to compare symptoms. Every single one of them had a different experience. Some had really bad m/s for the first trimester (like i did!!), others had it througout their pregnancy. A couple felt nauseaus all the time but no m/s and heaps of them (i could not believe this) had absolutely NO m/s. So the moral of the story i guess is, that there really is no standards formula. Try to keep yourself healthy and put your feet up. That's all that really matters at the end because your body seems to let you know when you need to rest or stop, or do something different.
Hi 1PJ. We did. Normal run of the mill supermarket brand water based and we fell pregnant. don't presssure yourself, sometimes relaxing about becoming pregnant is the best thing you could do to prepare your body. Best of luck!
hello, we have just confirmed our 1st pregnancy at 5 weeks today. i am very nervous. i have had no m/s just lots of tighness and slight pain from my boobs to my lower tummy. Is anyone else feeling this way?? Oh yeah and im very tired!!!
