Sore ab muscles at only 4 weeks!

[purplemoosemoose]

Hi Ladies,
I got my first ever BFP last week following 2 years of trying and one IVF ICSI cycle - YAY!!!!
Over the last week I have had INCREDIBLE back pain and my abdominal muscle are TIGHT and feel like I've done 2000 push ups. My tummy has popped out, too, making me look pregnant already as well.

My fertility nurses were blaming this on my progesterone levels which were through the roof (promptly got
told to stop the Crinone gel), but I have been off that for four days now - so shouldn't the symptoms be
wearing off?
Has anyone else had these symptoms in early pregnancy, or with progesterone supplements?

I knew pregnancy was going to be uncomfortable, but I didn't think all the discomfort and sleepless nights
would start so early!

Hi,
I'm 6 &1/2 weeks & Was wondering the same thing! I was only asking my mum yesterday if this pain was normally & I described it the same way " as if I've done push ups" From what I have read & friends advice it is normaly to feel this. Congrads by the way, sounds like it has been a journey for you! I have learnt a lot about morning (actully all day &night) sickness in the last 2 weeks, SO good luck!
